you loved him. Some of you hated him.
Perhaps some of you boys assisted in put

your old schoolmaster is gone, and the red
schoolhouse with him. Both have had

PaiIfDufue Roads.

Reports from the Philippines inform
US that the conversion Of impossible
trails into good highways is proceed
ing rapidly, and the work is being done
by native convicts In charge Of white
officers, says Motor News. The lack OF
ordinarily decent roads has been one
of the most serious drawbacks to devel-
opment Of our island possessions In
that 1t was impossible to transport
products from the interior at anywhere
near figure which left fair profit to
those who handled the stuff at the
coast. Present information leads us to
believe that the farsighted policy now
being followed Is to be continued, with
the result perhaps. that the Philippines
will possess a network of splendid
highways long before such results are
reached in the United States.

DRAGGING THE ROAD
A MISSOURI FARMERS DEVICE FOR
IMPROVING THE HIGHWAYS.

How ID. Ward King Invented His
Road Drag-Highsvays Put In Ex-
ceIlent Condition and Maintained
at Small Cost by the Plan.
Probably no invention for road i'm
provement has been talked about and
written about as much as the King
road drag, and it has aroused great
interest among the farmers through
out the country. In the following
article from Farming will be found
some new and interesting facts about
this method of improving country high
ways at small cost:
Ten years ago Missouri farmer
who had grown tired of wading through
a slough Of despond' every spring
when the roads were soft, and who had
seen his neighbors lose time, money
and patience when their wagons were
hub deep in the mire or their horses
Juggling and straining in their harness
to get a half load to market, decided
that there must be some remedy for
this condition. One day in thinking it
over he made the astonishing discovery
that what made the roads muddy was
mud, and that if the road was worked
into such a shape that the water would
drain off instead Of soaking into the
ground after every rain the roads
would cease to be muddy.
He rugged up a homemade con-
trivance out of an old wooden pump
stock that the frost had spoiled and an
oak post. By means Of three pieces of
fence board he nailed these together
so that they were held parallel to each
other. Then he made rough plank
platform on which to stand and by
means of wire hitched his team to this
clumsy affair at such point that It
would drag along over the road with
a slant of about forty-five degrees.
He began with the road that ran i'll
front Of his own farm. When it was
at its worst he drove up and down
from his own front gate to that Of his
nearest neighbor. Like huge mason's
trowel smoothing off mortar, it scrap
ed along, cutting down the inequalities
and rough places and filling up the
wagon ruts. He kept at it, and, after q
number Of draggings, in place of the
fiat basin that had served as a water
course for every storm to settle in, he
had built up road with a crown and
surface that was smooth enough to
shed water like ducks back III
