New Hampshire. Vermont and other
states are falling into line. and it is
only a question OF a few years before
every state in the Union Will have
Joined them.
The general scheme of road i'm

ton of macadam or equally service
able roads between the chief points I'm
each county. SO laid out that they will
form continuous network through
out the state. The less important
roads are to be improved by methods
not SO costly. Macadam roads require
an outlay for construction OF from
$4,000 20 $4,000 a mile This heavy
initial outlay would be too great a
burden for the scattered population OF
the farming regions TO bear unaided.
Outside help must De given. and mas

various forms by an The states which

Naturally. where the state helps to
build the roads. their location, CON
struction and maintenance must be
under state control through an Official
or state commission. This insures
the laying out of the roads so that
they will form a comprehensive state
system, and their maintenance in a
condition of efficiency after they have
been built.
Another important branch OF the
good roads movement is the introduc-
ton OF wide tires on wagons intended

are road destroyers, while wide tires
are road makers. The narrow tire
cuts the road into ruts. the wide tire

There has been an effort to induce

IMPORTANT FARM IMPLEMENT.
A Plain Talk on the Modern Harrows
and Their Use.

The harrow is a necessity on every
farm. and whether that farm be large
or small The principal use OF the har-
row is TO pulverize the soil. The inn
plement came into use after men
learned that it was advisable TO re-
duce the soil Co as fine state as pos
sible. The harrow has been greatly
improved since IL came into use. The
little Old three-ccruored or wedge
shaped harrow having wooden teeth
soon gave way TO harrow having
iron teeth. and that had 20 give place
TO the harrow with steel teeth. Now
all harrows have teeth of steel. but
these take a multitude of forms. Some
of the teeth are merely hooks. some
are still straight spikes. others are a
multitude OF little plowshares in their
effects on the soil. while still others
are discs The great number OF styles
show tho great interest taken I'm the
putting out OF a harrow having tho
greatest possible power of timing the
soil. Any farmer viii find himself
well repaid by making some study Of
this matter of harrOws He will be
perhaps surprised 20 find that one
kind of harrow will do the best on
one soil and another kind OF harrow
on another soil; for the reason that
different soils respond best TO differ
ent conditions. on some farms where
the soils are diverse in character and
where different crops are being grown

more rootlets. and the more rootlets
the more thoroughly VIII the plants

soils thoroughly pulverized and that

surprising rapidly. Manure on such

many modern harrows now on the
