The naming Of the roads, says the
Grand Rapids Herald, IS something
that should have been attended to long
ago. Every main road and every cross
road In the county ought to have its
official title, just as do the streets ana
avenues in the city. The roads are all
laid out on the map, but they are IN
named, and to attempt to address
farmer at his home residence except
perhaps in the most general way IS i'm
possible. The board Of supervisors
might we'll appoint committee or COM
mission to name the roads In the coun-
ty, and in selecting names it would be
we'll to honor the sturdy pioneers who
settled in the neighborhood through
which the road passes. With the roads
named farmer could be as easily ad'
dressed By his street and number as
can those who dwell in cities.

ROAD REPAIRING.
Sorae Points on Putting a Highway
In Good Condition.

In Good Condition.
Holes and ruts should never be filled
with stone, brick or coarse gravel, says
q writer in Good Roads Magazine. The
hard material will not wear uniformly
with the rest Of the road, but will pro-
duce bumps and ridges and usually re-
suit in making two holes, each larger
than the original. Any saucerlike de-
pressions or ruts should be filed with
earth like that Of the roadbed.
It Is a bad practice to cut gutter
from a hole to drain 1t to the side of
the road. Filling 1t is the proper course,
whether the hole IS dry or contains
mud The holes most requiring atten-
ton are found at the end Of bridges
and along the sides of small wooden
box culverts.
The side bitches should be examined
in the fall to see that they are free
from dead weeds and grass, and late
in the winter they should be examined
again to see that they are not clogged
with cornstalks, brush, ETC., washed in
from the fields. The mouths Of cul
vertS should also be cleared Of rub
bish and the outlet Of tile drains
should be opened. Attention to side
bitches prevents overflow and washing
Of the roadbed and will also prevent
formation Of ponds at the roadside and
the consequent saturation Of the road
bed.
Roads should have plenty Of light
and air. OF course shady road is very
nice on a hot day, but such a road can
not be kept in good condition, since
shade is nearly sure tc :ause mud
holes. Therefore the road officials
should use all possible diplomacy to
have trees adjoining the road, particu-
larlE. those on the south side, trimmed
with reference to the needs Of the
roads

Highways.

Uncle Sans Canals and His Poor
Highways.
We are appropriating millions Of
money for building canals and rail-
roads, yet 95 per cent Of all the mate
rial that passes over our canals and
railroads must in the first instance
pass over primary roads-namely, the
highways, says E. A. Bond, New York
state engineer. In connection with our
canals we are doing an immense work.
We are still appropriating money and
making them efficient. Our railroad
corporations are expending huge for
tunes in reducing grades and making
their roads straight and smooth.
Steamboat companies are expending
great sums in enlarging the capacity
Of their ships and increasing their
speed.
What does all cc this avail If we who
are to be the most benefited do not
undertake some sensible system on
business basis FOR building and main
tanning in a wise manner the common
roads Of the country?
When this has been done, and when
that good time comes (and it is as sure
to come as tomorrow's sun is to rise),
then will our boys be willing to stay on
the farm and our daughters be willing
to become farmers wives. The tsola-
ton Of farm life will then have passed
away and instead Of our boys and
girls leaving the farm to go into the
crowded cities more will be willing to
20 from cities to the farms. Then we
will have free mail delivery and the
telephone. and We will be the happy
and contented people that the Al
mighty intended we should be when he
gave US this rich and beautiful hertt-
