MONEY WELL SPENT.

The construction Of good
roads has received wide atten-
tion in this country, but as yet
no practical system has been
devised by which any consider
able portion OF our roads can be
improved. The construction of
good roads ON any except Il
gravel soil is q costly business,
so expensive that the farmers
simply cannot bear the burden.
1t would amount to COnisCa-
tion of the farms if the burden
were placed upon them, for on
black prairie soil, for instance,
there must be a deep, solid foun-
dation laid. Gravel on such Il
soil will not stand. 1t will go
down out of sight during the
spring thaws- Where such
roads exist wide tires would go
Il long ways toward preserving
them, but it would be I long
time before everybody adopted
wide tires. Bat bad roads are
very expensive. The wear and
tear of wagons, harness and
horses which they entail amount
TO many millions of dollars in a
year, and the farmer is shut out
ofsthe market and from all So
cial intercourse with ei9hbors
frequently for long periods
All this is a loss and Il serious
one, so serious that in many
sections where the conditions
are all together favora BILE to-
road improvements there should
be no negligence in this matter.
No one should object to the
small outlay necessary to make
a good serviceable road when |
only a small outlay is needed. |
Every road should be made as
good IS ii possible 70 make it

anxious over their crops, as frost now
would mean the ruination of practl-

The barley, wheat and oats are two
weeks later maturing this year than
usual, and hence an early frost would
cause all the spring grains to shrivel,

now. If the frost stays off until an
other two weeks are gone by provid-
ed those two weeks have plenty of
