At the Missouri Agricultural COL
lege they found by actual test that on
blue grass sward the same draft that
pulled 1000 pounds on n wagon with

3.24S pounds on wagon with three

that could be seen all the season. and
II running down a hill might be we'll

which the fertility Of the surface soil

IOWA ROADS IN SPRING.
Mud Causes Great Inconvenienco
and Loss to Farmers.

Mud Causes Great Inconvenience
and Loss to Farmers.
Business In most of the country
towns In Iowa during this spring has
been at q standstill on account of the
almost unprecedented had condition OF
the roads. Not since the great flood in
the spring Of 1892 has there been as
much water in Iowa as there Is this
spring. 1t is n serious and dangerous
undertaking for q farmer to start to
town with an empty wagon, and to
haul load is out of the question.
They either go on horseback or on foot
when 1t Is absolutely necessary to go
to the postoffice or on some other err
rand to the nearest town.
The three snowstorms In the month
Of March added very much to the mois-
ture that was already in the ground
and that failed to soak In because Of
the frost. When this snow melted, II
washed out many culverts and made
dangerous places In the roads. In
some parts Of northern Iowa, where
the soil Is thick and sticky, the mud
clogged upon the wheels SO that they
could not turn, and whoever started
out to drive with any sort of vehicle
usually carried q spade or an ak with
which to dig the mud Off. Big heaps
Of 1t may be seen alongside Of the road
where people have stopped to unload
their wagons.
Nearly every line Of business has
felt the effects Of these conditions.
Farmers could bring nothing to town
to sell, and they did not come to buy.
If they happened to be out Of coal.
they either burned cobs or cut down n
few trees or burned up some old posts.
In many parts Of the state all sorts OF
farm work has been suspended be-
cause the fields are covered with water
and are almost impossible, even by a
man on foot. The streams and ponds
are filled as they have rarely been,
promising unusual plentifulness Of
game during the spring and fall.
