NEW ROAD MACHINE.
Grading Attachment That Can Be Put
Upon Any Traction Engine.

Streets of Holdrege, Neb., have
been improved and beautifed by a
very unique and eminently practical
road and street grading machine, the
invention OF Elijah A. Hollenbeck of
Funk, Neb. The machine was built
by Mr.. Hollenbeck himself, and not
withstanding its crudity of cOnstruc-
ton, owing to lack of facilities for
turning out the proper kind Of work,
1t has proved n success and a money
maker from the very start, says the
Omaha World Herald. 1t is in fact
road grading attachment, so construct
ed that it can readily be put upon any
ordinary make of traction engine.
The machine is very simple in its
construction and seldom ever gets out
of order or causes any annoyance to
the operator. 1t consists Of a frame
attached to the boiler and running
gear Of the engine. On the left side,
directly in front of the large drive
wheel, is a beam carrying the pillow.
The furrow cut by the plow is just
outside Of the tread of the drive wheel
of the engine enabling the operator
to cut a straight bank to any length
desired. The dirt is dropped from the
moldboard upon a belt conveyor pass
ing under the boiler Of the engine and
deposited i'm the middle of the street
or road to make the grade. The outer
end of this elevator can be raised or
lowered to meet requirements.
Mr. Hollenbeck, the inventor, is a
young farmer who has lived on a farm
all his life He has had no special
training as a machinist his only edu-
cation In that line being that Cleaned
from practical experience in operating
thrashing machines and other kinds of
farm machinery.

HINTS FOR BUSY WOMEN.
How Newspapers on Kitchen Tables

The faithful reader Of the Atlantic
Monthly Magazine will remember well
the young woman who confessed In an
issue of two or three years ago that
the source Of her remarkable fund Of
information and her broad knowledge
Of affairs was all due to her grand
mothers uncompromising ideals Of
economy and cleanliness. Was the
kitchen table freshly scrubbed and the
board above the sink washed and
secured? Then cover them with news
papers. Newspapers were everywhere.
and as this young woman, who was
then a girl in her early teens. pared
the apples or shelled the peas or wash
ed the dishes thrice daily her eyes
Travelled up and down the columns of
those papers that shrouded everything
about her. Editorials and news items,
all were alike to her. She read them
all and, reading, remembered.
The methods Of today are neither so
deliberate nor so particular as to per

only few minutes each day for the

lines or a look at the leading articles
in the magazines may be all that she
has time fer, but there are often long
articles on art or literature or mat
ters of national Importance which she
longs to read through. SO she has
formed the habit Of marking these ar
ticles, and after the other members Of
the family have read the paper one of
the children cuts the marked pieces

end this busy woman finds herself not
so far behind the times, after all.

GOOD HIGHWAY HELPS
How to Solve the Problem of
Clean RoadSideS.
DESTROY NoxIOUS WEEDS.

Build Good Fences In Front Of Farms.
Use the Drag and Harrow Until Cold
Weather-Tip on Improving Sand
Roads.
1t is encouraging to see the atten-
ton that is being paid to good roads
all through the United States. Vari-
Gus state organizations are taking the
matter up, national conventions are
being held and an international meet
ing was recently called to convene in
France. Everything points toward
better highways. better facilities for
marketing crops and better conditions
for the farmer.
A good road brings one nearer to
his neighbors, nearer to his church
and school and nearer to his market.
The time win soon come when one
will speak Of farm as being ten min
utes distant from town rather than
two miles The popularity which the
automobile is rapidly acquiring among
farmers will promote this good roads
movement.
In line with this movement the fol
lowing suggestions on the improve
ment of roads are of value:
There is a splendid opportunity for
the individual to help the good work
along by taking care of the roads in

EEFEcr oF NARRow - VIDE TIREs.

bear me out when l say that il these
tires had been four inches or more
the road would have been benefited
rather than damaged. a wide tire un-
der a load makes an observer think
of a roller
l think this wide tire proposition is
one of the first essentials to good
roads and should be encouraged by
legislation and limit law for the
amount of load for every inch of tire
width. If wagon tires were required
to be three inches or more for 1000
pound loads and one additional inch
for each added 1000 or major fraction
thereof, very much less work would be
required to maintain our roads.

VALUE OF WIDE TIRES.
Ono Of the First Essentials to Good
Highways.

The King drag is no doubt a good
thing, but how about the wide tired
wagon? Observe the dirt road after a
thorough soaking. The farmer cannot
work in his fields, and, having some
wheat, corn, oats or hogs to haul to
market. the time to haul is while
the fields are unfit to be worked, saw
ing time by doing so.
He loads his product into his one
and a half inch tired wagon, 5000
pounds or more, and probably bitches
four horses to his load, and along the
whole distance he cuts a rut from
three to six inches deep. Several of
his neighbors do likewise, and soon
the road is worked down to the con-
sistency of mortar foot deep, says ].

Eorsst serviee and Coco Roads.


Realizing that with thicker settle
ment and increasing use of the ma
tional forests good roads will become
more and more a crying necessity, it has
been arranged that the Office of public
roads of the department of agriculture
shall cooperate with the forest service
in drawing up plans for comprehensive
systems Of roads and trails in the ma
tional forests. Hitherto the funds al
lotted by congress to the forest service
for permanent Improvements on ma
tional forests have largely been used
for road and trail building. but the
amount is too small compared with the
total area of the forests to make pos
sible more than a small beginning.
Building each year under the new ar
rangement can be done with reference
to a carefully worked out plan, escap-
ing the danger of undlrected effort.
The roads. trails. telephone lines and
fire lines already constructed in ma
tional forests are proving of great
value both i'm the work of fire protec-
ton and in serving the convenience of
the public. The further this work can
be carried the greater will be the use
fitness Of the forests to the surround
ing regions. This is only one of the
many ways In which the forest service
Is promoting the interests of the peo-
nile

GRADING a Roadbed.

1t is simply extraordinary the lack
of judgment shown by many who I'M
dertake to shape a roadbed. The road
allowance in various states is sixty
six feet. In rounding up the roadbed
the earth Is sometimes moved toward
the center from nearly the entire dis
lance of the width of the road. This
means that the bitches for carrying
away the water are not distant from
the fences that hedge In the highway.
The roadbed is entirely too wide. 1t
cannot be sufficiently rounded toward
the center, and as result water does
not run off with sufficient quickness.
The temptation to spoil roads by grad
ing them thus Is all the stronger since
road graders have come into use. This
result follows from the comparative
quickness with which the earth can be
moved by these machines. A distance
of forty-two to forty-hve feet between
the outer edges of the bitches fur
nishes a roadbed sufficiently wide.

 There is no doubt that the cor poration element was in the saddle at the democratic convention held in Tucson last week and it has been pretty we'll supposed that it was a Mark Smith convention. But the friends of Brady O'Neill on the Maricopa county delegation deny that Mark bad everything his own way They aver than an attempted Smith demonstration in the conven- tion fell flat. They do not deny that the resolution endorsing Smith would perhaps have passed. even if they had fought it. yet Brady and his friends are feeling pretty good over the way the counties of Yuma, Coconino, Gila and Mohave stood by him.
