of agriculture, to construct q sample steel
roadway at the most convenient loca-
ton he can find at the Nashville expo

west, where stone and gravel are scarce.

JOlTlNG OVER BAD ROADS.

The MAJORITY o: Fnnnc. show No IatoE-
est In Road Improvement
With the same patience that the early
settler waited for the railroad TO be
built must the advocates Of good roads
wait for any decided action to be taken
for the bctterment of our public high
ways. says the Whitewater (Tis Jour
bal.
For tho last five years our roads have
been tho topic Of the press, but we fail
to sec tho good effect that this should
have had OH tho minds of an intelligent
people, and. strange as it may seem. the
farmers arc the very last one with
which this matter finds any favor.
While our city cousins have long since
protested against the slow, ancomfort-
able horse car and compelled the COM
panies to build expensive electric lines
with palace cars, we are contented to
jolt along in cumbersome vehicles over
nearly az bad roads rs those our grand
fathers travelled in early pioneer days,
and farmers who read from time to
time Of the large sums Of money spent
BY the government in making public
improvements would vote against an
equal amount being expended IN our
highways.
For q proof Of this fact just see with
what reluctance most farmers work on
the road, even when we'll paid for their
labor; better paid than they often are
for the work which they do on the
farm, and yet q greater proof Is the
fact that in many Of the towns in this
county they still cling to the old way
Of working out road taxes BY allowing
q man so much for his team, pillow or
shovel and giving him ten hours story
telling.
At a rough estimate there is between
$4,000 and $l5, 900 expended annually
on the roads in this county. II part OF
this large SUM of money was invested
in machinery used In making roads, and
then have the work done by q body OF
men working under q county overseer
who had proved his ability as q road
builder. and civil engineer by passing
q satisfactory civil service examination,
wa could get more and better work
done. Such q man could be obtained
for q moderate salary, and the work
done would be more uniform and salts
factory than that done by pet cvezseers
who are appointed regardless Of ability,
but because Of some political pull at
town meetings.
OF course there r exceptions to the
general class Of farmers who are work
ing and talking to the best Of their
ability for good roads. It is TO be hoped
that success will in the end crown their
afforts.

WIDE TIRE BENEFITS.

They Not Only Improve theR Road, bet ths
Load L. Moro Easily DRAWN
The beneficial effect Of the wide tire
on dirt roads Is strikingly shown in
some recent tests ut the Missouri agri-
cultural experiment station ut Colum-
bia. A clay road badly cut into ruts
BY the narrow tires was selected for
the test M presenting conditions least
favorable to the broad tire. A number
of tests Of the draft Of the narrow tire
were made in these open ruts and i'm
mediately followed BY the broad tires
running in tho same ruts. The first q
of the broad tire over the narrow tire
ruts was accompanied by an increased
draft. the second BY u draft materially
less than the original narrow tire, the
third by o still greater decline, and in
the fourth trip the rut vas practically
obliterated and filed. The narrow tires
were then run over the came road, with
the results that the draft was lighter
than before the broad tires had been
used. Alternating the broad and narrow
tires on this road for a number Of times
resulted in a gradually decreased draft.
In other words, the broad tires were
improving the road surface to such an
extent when run but half the time as to
make the draft considerably less for all
vehicles. This clearly demonstrates that
IL even half the wagons used on dirt
roads had broad tires the results would
be beneficial in draft and enormously
beneficial in bettering the condition OF
the roads.
In another trial, when q clay road
was % badly cut into ruts as to be al.
most impossible for light vehicles and
pleasure carriages, after running the 8
inch tires over this road IL timeG the
ruts were completely filed and a first
class bicycle path made. A careful REQ
ord Of the drafts shows thas the draft
was materially less than with the mar
row tires Immediately before. Thus the
road would have been gradually i'm
proved by the use Of the broad tires at
the same time mat the farmer would
have been able to transport his products
over the road with greatly reduced
draft

n RANGE.

Tow to Econorlfkc on she Cae of
Coai-Duiiding Fires.
One Of the most fruitful sources OF
household waste and extravaganza Is
the coal bin. and tons of fuel are used
where Il single one would give the
same results. Open drafts and Il range
full to the covers of glowing Goals not
only burn q needless amount Of coal,
but burn out the range ut the same
time. \ shovelful OF coal or sufficient
30 lightly cover the fire will accom-
plish rs much ns n half scuttleful, ex-
cepting In the increase Of the coal
mans trade.
For n small range nut coal Is best;
for a large one. small egg coal. Red
ash coal makes n hotter fire. with
fewer cinders, than the white ash. and
the latter burns more slowly. For
these eason an equal mixture Of the
two Is a wise economy. h b
taken from the fire should never be
thrown into the a until they are
sifted. The cinders thus obtained can
be used on the fire Mt times when the
greatest heat Ia not needed. But they
should always be added after the fresh
coal il well aglow.
A third Of a cupful Of kerosene with
which to saturate the kindling and
coal before putting 1t In the range
will facilitate the housemaid's morn
ing work, whether or not the fire has
been kept overnight Kerosene should
never. however. be poured directly into
a stove, either from the cup or can.
The best way Is to hy the wood on
q shovel and cover 1t there with the
oil, AMI then add e sprinkling to q
shovelful Of coal. Many housekeepers
insure their kitchens against accident
from this aus by leaving n part OF q
cupful of oil for the servants use and
locking the rest In the storeroom.
A handful Of sugar will revive an
expiring fire as quickly as will kero-
scne. but happy the housewife whose
maid Is ignorant Of the fact This &c
counts in many cases for the rapid dis
appearance Of the kitchen sugar sup.
