some Suggestions For Improving
Of Great BeneGt-Wide Tires Keen
Highways smooth.
l wish to ask my brother farmers a
few questions about roads
Do you really like in wet weather to
have muddy roads--roads of deep
sticky mud: 10 YOU like aftar the
weather has been dry for awhile to
have rough roads, with deep holes and
deep ruts? DO you like in dry weather
where the land is rather sandy to have
the soil ground UP into fine loose sand
and have this sand as deep as possi-
bief
know you will feel insulted because
OF being asked such questions, and
your answering word will be an indiy-
nant No" Hut it is said that actions
speak louder than words, and your ac-
tions say Yes" Now, let us see about
this business. How can we make the
most and deepest mud with the least
needs clay-earth saturated with wa
ter and some kind of an implement to
mix them with in order to make mud
In brickyards and potteries they are in
the business of making mud by mix
ing clay and wafer In some of them
the implement used to do the mixing
very much resembles narrow tired
wagon wheel, which is run over the
hard, wet clay. pressing down with
considerable weight, and in Il remarka-
bly, short time makes beautiful mud OF
it. here make the assertion that the
inventive genius of man has never yet
been able to eontrive better imple-
ment for making mud of soil satu-
rated with water than narrow tired
wagon wheel
Now, | know there are some farmers
who would prefer solid roads to muddy
ones; smooth ones to rough and rutted
ones, and, if sandy, to have the sard as
firm as possible instead of loose rs can
be made. To such | will give w of
my ideas.

prevent as much as possible its becom-

ing saturated with water and of such
form that there will be no places for
the water to stand on it. In many
places line of draintile under the
center will be of great benefit. The
most profitable Investment | ever made
of road money was when put in some
tiles in this way. OF course, the mud
lovers objected to it and said it was
useless expense"
Where it Is necessary to grade up
the road do not do it with an Old style
road scraper Gf it can be avoided by
dumping a scraperful in a place, for,
do the best you can to level it, after it
has settled it will be uneven, leav-
ing places for water TO stand and
make mudholes. Use road grader. |
used, years ago, what little influence
| had to induce the town l lived in to
buy the first road grader used in the
county. Use that to grade up the
road. Make the bed solid by the use
of n heavy roller as fast as each thin
layer of earth is brought UP on the
road When the roadbed is In right
form-that is, little the highest in the
middle, SO that no water will stand on
it-coyer it with gravel If 1t is to be
had, then go over and over it again
with the roller. If we Travelled the
road all the time with rollers we surely
would have no ruts or deep mud.
But" says one, you surely would
not have us draw our produce to mar
ket with rollersr
No, but | would have cross between
roller and narrow tired wagon-in
other words. Il broad tired wagon with
tires not less than four inches.
In the worlds fair ground there were
every day to be seen traversing the
grounds certain very heavy vehicles
with very broad tires. These We're
steam rollers All the wagons used
there had broad tires. and notwith-
standing the great number of heavy
loads hauled there was not one single
rut there during the summer, and a
team could haul an immense load with
ease. Now. every one will admit that
broad tires are much better for the
roads than narrow ones, hut they say:
AS long as others use narrow tires
will | am not going to so In their
narrow tire ruts with broad tires"
In some countries the law makes it
punishable offense to haul loads on
the roads with narrow tires and cut
them up In this country the people
do not want To enact such law, and
really il seems as though it ought not
to be necessary. one would suppose
that lie good sense of the people would
lead them to do what is for their In
terest have hope that in time the
farmers viii all get around to 1t, but
the reform moves very slowly. | wish
il would go faster e. r. Goodrich in

irons of Husbandry can only be con
ferred by the state grange in regular
or special session. 1t Is not usual to
confer this degree excepting ut the an

was done in Pennsylvania not long
ago. A class of sixty-fve took the
degree. State Master Hill of that
state predicts that the time will soon
come when enthusiastic patrons will
insist on having the opportunity pro-
vided them near home for being in

not have TO wait until the state grange

The rural residents around Will
iamsport, says the Evening" News,
are facing water famine and il Is
feared one that will last thrau9hout
the winter. Wells that were always
reliable are nearly dry, the watsr in
them being lower than fur several
years, and already some farmers are
compelled to carry water for even
the cattle from the deeper wells Of
their neighbors. If the ground
should be frozen much deeper when
the needed rain comes, the water
instead Of soaking through the
ground and filling the wells, will run
off into the streams.
The streams int his county ars an

year, and unless there comes heavy
rains before many weeks, should the
winter be a severe one, there will ba

The grange in Michigan Is very ac-
tive just now over primary reform.
The legislative committee has issued
an open letter to the patrons in Michi-
gan upon certain issues I'm state affairs.
They are sending to every Pomona and
subordinate grange In the state ques-
ton blank, which Is TO be forwarded
to each nominee of all political parties
requesting that he fill it out and return
the same to the county legislative com
mittee When these are so returned
they are to be read In subordinate
oranges without comment. These ques-
tons bear on primary reform as advo-
Gated by the Michigan state grange.
In this circular to candidates the COM
mittee says:
I'VE expect positive and direct re-
plies. An evasiye answer or failure to
reply within reasonable time will be
taken to mean that you are opposed to
the passage of this measure. Upon the
character of your reply will largely de
pend our attitude toward YOU
Primary reform Is not partisan
question in Michigan, consequently the
grange, having pledged its influence
therefor, can advocate its passage.
