GOOD ROADS.

In a certain western community
where the land lies very level, where
the soil is rich gumbo and the high
ways of the community as bad as roads
could possibly be, the people were in
duced to apply the new method of
dragging the roads after every rain.
Forty miles of highway were SO treat
ed the past summer, with the sur
prising result that bad roads have been
converted into good roads as smooth
and hard as an asphalt highway, roads
nice enough so that an automobile
could safely make any speed of which
it was capable, roads so well crowned
and smOothed that no rain affects them
more than to make the surface little
slippery; no chance for a mudhole to
form, no chance for the water to stay
on them, and all this good work done
at an expense under So per mile for
the season. Wherever there are bad
earth roads. especially in all clay and
gumbo sections, this method will GER
tainly revolutionize the condition of the
highways. In the community referred
to the people are all walked up over
the result of their experiment, and it
will not be long until all the highways
of the county will be placed under this
sort of treatment
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1906-01-13
FARMING METHODS.

Whenever man can make a living
easily from the land he is very apt to
do it in a slovenly and careless man
ner. The best types of agriculture
which we have are quite likely to be
associated with an inferior soil and un-
inviting natural onditions-condition
and soil which compel the best efforts
of man to make the farm productive.
Where but little effort is required for
man to get enough to eat, drink and
wear, there he is apt to be found doing
just that little and no more, for with
the great mass of the people their am
bition dies when the common wants of
the human are provided for. Thus we
find far better methods of farming
where the soil has to be nursed and
carefully cared for than where it is
naturally fertile and productive The
native of the West Indies will lie down
to sleep by a banana bush. and when
hunger wakes him he will reach up
and satisfy his needs with food grown
without effort, and then he will turn
over and go to sleep again, while the
Jap, the Hollander, the farmer in
Maine or Michigan, must needs work
and work hard along intelligent lines
if he is to live at all.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1906-01-13
FUTURE PRICES of LAND.

We are asked what the future price
of good farm land is likely to be where
it is located in states like Iowa, Nebras-
ka. Kansas, Minnesota and the Dako-
tas, land which now has a selling value
of from $50 to $50 per acre. In one
sense land values are governed by the
rental value, but not altogether, for
there is always the home side of the
farm to be taken into consideration
its value as a place to live as we'll as
a place on which to make money. In
the best parts of the state of Illinois,
where soil conditions are very similar
to those of the states named farms are
now changing hands on a basis of from
$125 to $3.50 per acre and justify this
valuation, but it should be noted that
very different type of agriculture
from the grain raising and grain sell
ing methods Of the lands above re-
ferred to is pursued. On these high
priced farms the COW is the machine
which extracts the profits from the soil
and justifies the prices obtained. When
ever more intensive and sensible
method Of treating the soil on the sew
enty dollar land is put into operation
then such land will command higher
prices, but not before
