MAKE THEIR OWN ROADS.
Now n Community of Farmers Solved
the Highway Question.

tne HIGHWAY
One OF -he best kept roads know
of anywhere is in Caldwell county, Mo-,
between Nettleton and Hamilton, writes
w. II. Handy in American Agricul-
turist. / have driven over this road
at all times of the year. out have never
seen it rough or muddy. 1t is not be-
cause Missouri has superior road laws.
There are roads in the state that would
wreck leather bag In a spring wagon.
Neither is 1t because the township
trustees compel the road overseer to
attend to his business. Township
trustees and road overseers here are
about ordinary, but are ordinarily not
about when needed.
This is the explanation. On each
side Of that road are fine farms,
beautiful farms with clean cut hedg-
es, well kept orchards and fine mead
ows. On these farms are well built,
well painted and nicely ornamented
farmhouses with beautiful lawns and
trees about them. In those houses live
progressive men who have agreed that
this road shall be well kept. Each
man owns scraper. Each farmer
takes the piece Of road along his farm
Just as the city resident does his side
walk. When one is busy another takes
care of his road. When n bridge is
TO be built they all come together and
build it, The road is graded in the
middle, so the water runs off at once.
When it begins to get rough they run
q scraper over it. During parts of the
year they go over this road from three
to six times a week, sometimes even
oftener.
1t takes some time? Yes, but not
half as much as it does some other
men trying to sell their farms when
they want to change An average Of
three hours per week for each farm
keeps the road When they want to go
to town, as they often do, the drive
is pleasure. It's pleasure for other
people, too, and when one Of them
wants to sell his farm he gets from
So to $40 more per acre than If he
was located at the side or end of a
narrow quilted buggy breaking bypath.
Then they have free mail delivery
along that road now. Some of the
rest of us haven't, and l am told the
road had something to do with it.

Marrow Tires Spoil Roads.

One Of the most prolific causes of
bad roads is the narrowness of the
wagon tires in common use. says Gen
eral Roy Stone. They cut out great
ruts, and when these ruts are filled
with moisture they cut still deeper and
mix with the water the new dirt cut
from the bottom into mud and slush.
30 in bad weather the ordinary wagon
tire Is a rutmaker and a mud mixer.

Young Old Men.

A writer in The Cornhill declares
that 'in the early part of last century
a man was man at twenty or so, a
middle aged man at thirty and old at
fifty. At the present time he is a boy
up to about thirty-tive, young man up
to fifty and is hardly regarded as old
until he has exceeded David's maxi
mum of life by six or seven years."

Volcano Cooking.

The Maoris of New Zealand cook
their potatoes and other vegetables in
volcanic heat. There are a few vol
canoes in New Zealand, and some Of
the Maoris live up in the mountains
near them. They make the volcanoes
do several useful things for them, but
the queerest is the cooking.

FIRST FLOWER OF sPRlNeTlME.


Near pretty piece of woodland,
In sunny little nook,
Nestled meath a spreading beech-tres
By the babbling meadow brook,
There's a tiny snow-white blossom,
Fairest flower of all the fair
First to greet us in the springtime,
In the chilly wintry air.
While it's fellows still lay sleeping
Meath the snow and ice about,
In this sunny sheltered corner
First appeared a bud without
Day by day l watched it growing,
Pulled the leaves and sticks away,
Let the sunshine brightly streaming
Ger it's nescent beauty play.
AS at dawn the sky grows lighter
At the coming OF the morn,
So the bud grew greener, brighter,
Till my blossom fair was born.
IT'S SO white, SO pure, SO lovely,
Set within it's cup of green,
Living there among the snowdrifts,
Stranger sight was never seen.
Though the storm shall rage about it
And the snowfakes falling fast
Hurry kissing through the forest,
Borne upon the northwinds blast;
Nothing shall this blossom injure,
Nothing shall its beauty fear,
Nesting on the breast of nature,
First and fairest of the year.
