A TALK ON GOOD ROADS.
Laying Out the Roadbed and Keep
ing 1t in Repair-Use the
King Drag.

1t is one thing to build good road,
and it is another to keep it in repair.
O. w Mapes gives some important sug-
gestions on the work. of building and
repairing roads, as follows: The first
step is to stake out the work, by making
light furrow on each side of the pro
posed work, IL or ID feet apart If any
part of these first burrows comes with
in the beaten track, where it is hard
IT should be done just after a soaking
rain, either with plow or the point of
road machine. Next put the wheel
OF the road machine in this light furrow
mold the point of the blade firmly down
IN place, remove every stone which the
point strikes and work down and out
until enough dirt is secured to bring a
good crown to the center of the road
and good gutter on each side. max
ing suitable outlets from all low points
IN these cutters. This is only ques-
ton OF applying sufficient team power
and removing all stones that interfere
with making good gutter. On por-
tons OF our road this alone will give us
a good road with proper care in honing
down after each heavy rain, and rak.
ing out all loose stones. Other por-
tons will need little gravel or shale
along the crown of the road. There
are several hills where this can be Sc
cured requiring only short hauls. A
cubic yard hauled on 12-foot wagon is
enough for the worst places by dump
ing full load in a place, and in other
places a half or third of a load in 8
place will finish the crown of the load.
Grading with the machine should not
cost more than $25 per mile. nor draw
ing the gravel on the crown of the road
more than 40 cents per cubic yard. This
makes the cost only 5000 per mile, we're
full load of gravel placed on the crown
OF the road all the way.
How about the after-care of such n
road? Here is the secret of success.
When the first rain comes, passing
teams and vehicles will puddle the ma
terial along the crown of the road in
the beaten track forming a hard crust
as IT dries, which will be somewhat
rough and uneven. Before II becomes
too dry and hard, hone the surface per
fectly smooth and true with a ligh1

THE KING DRAG.

man and team can hone off a bunch of
road in this way, If he understands his
business, at slight cost He should
stand on the hone, and guide 1t by stem
ping from one end of the hone to the
other as the occasion requires. This
is very inexpensive and should be re E
peated after every big rain, though Il
Will never soften much after the frs
pudding. Now rake off any loose stone
and you have a beaten track on the
crown of the road, over which a bicycle
or an auto Will roll as smoothly as on
the best macadam road, and on which
you can drive clean buggy an hour
after summer shower without having
10 avoid mud holes. The only other
care needed on such a road will be to
sprinkle very little good gravel, shale
or even hardpan, right in the center Of
the beaten track, occasionally, accord
ing to the amount of wear on the road.
and keep the cutters from filling, throw
ing the stuff secured out Of them ava y
from the road instead Of back into H.
There have been some questions about
the proper home" use in fitting such
road. A picture of the King road drag
Is shown herewith. 1t was designed by
d. Ward King, of Missouri. and has
proved SO successful that special trains
have been run to enable Mr.. King to
carry the gospel Of good roads" to
farmers. Directions for making and
using the drag are as follows:
Log, IL inches in diameter. of some
soft wood; oak is too heavy. Slabs seven
to nine feet long. to such weight of team
Cross sticks hold the slabs 80 inches
apart. Platform of inch boards should
be laid on cross sticks. Two-by-twelye-
inch plank can be used instead of log
slabs; when planks are used it is bet
ter TO reinforce the middles with a
2x4 piece lengthwise. The hitching
ring should be two or two and one-half
feet In front of the drag. After each
rain drive up one side of the wheel
track and back on the other side with
drag in position to throw the earth to
the center. Ride on the drag. Have an
angle Of IS degrees"

PEAS AND OATS MIXTURE.
A Combination Which Is Highly
Recommended by a Farmer
Who Has Tried It.

At the Michigan farmers institute
roundup Peter Voorhees,, of Pontiac,
gave his experience in growing Can
adam peas and oats together on his
farm last season. He sowed IL BUSH
els peas and one bushel oats. He
threshed 46 bushels per acre of the
mixture, one-half of which was peas.
He favors putting in the peas with
drill and burying them deeply, and
a week later putting in the oats less
deeply. This helps to clean the
ground and gives the crop a chance
to grow in balance. II the oats are
sown at the same time as the peas
there is some danger that they will
choke the peas.
This experience is just in the line
of what | have been advocating for
years, says Prof. Thomas Shaw, in
Orange Judd Farmer, and it is in
deed refreshing to note this instance
of its correctness at this time. when
men are looking about for protein
and balanced foods as they never did
before, yield of 46 bushels per acre
of this mixture furnishes a grand lot
of food. The man who gets 80 to 40
bushels an acre should be satisfied,
for it will weigh about As pounds to
the bushel and will make grand
grain food for horses, cattle, sheep and
swine. 1t is virtually in balance and
even though fed freely is not likely
to do harm. 1t makes grand food for
dairy cows fed green and furnishes
large yield per acre.
This crop has eminent adaptation
for the northern two-thirds of Michi-
gan and Wisconsin, and for the
northern half of Minnesota and North
Dakota. 1t would also do well in
northern Ohio and New York, and in
certain areas of the New England
states. But nowhere will this mag
nificent mixture grow better than in
tire counties of Michigan, Wisconsin
and Minnesota. not distant from the
lakes. The same is true Of Ontario.

villages and missions. and civilized
many of the natives. On their expul-
