HINTS FROM MISSOURI.
How to Use the King Drag and Have
an Ideal Road.

In Missouri the roads are really bad,
and Improvement by the King road
drag has been taken up Systematically.
The following suggestions are from
bulletin by the Missouri board of agri.
culture:
Don't drive too fast.
Don't walk. Get on the drag and ride.
Don't wait for your ncighbors to take
hold. They may be waiting on YOU.
Don't wait for the big grader to
come and shape up your road. All
you can do first will help to make the
work of the grader permanent.
Don't try to drag with one piece; use
two. One Will scoop out the holiowS
In the road and deepen them. When
two are used the one keeps the other
up. and soon the hollows will have
filled and become level like the balance
Of the road.
Don't wait for good roads until the
city folks begin to talk about mac
adam at public expense. This will cost
from $1,000 to $1,000 Il mile, and for
country purposes, where there Is no
heavy hauling, it is no better than. not
as easily maintained as, a road proper
ly made with the drag. Five dollars
n mile with proper use of the road
drag will keep the ordinary country
road that is properly drained. graded
and bridgcd or culverted in first class
condition nine months in the year AMI
make it fairly decent road the other
three months But this cannot be done
In one year or two. The longer the
drag Is used intcligcntly the better
the road will become until finally 1t
Is oval and smooth and hard ard cllS-
tie. This is the ideal road. and moth
Ing but a road properly made with the
drag or an asphalt road meets all the e
requirements.

AN ASPHALT ROAD.
New Jersey to Experiment With Mix
ture of That Product With Dirt.

I'VE" Jersey TO Experiment WIN miS-
ture of That Product With Dirt.
The New Jersey state department of
highways is to construct in Mercer
county an experimental mile of a new
automobile road, the plans for which
State Road Supervisor Robert \. Nee
ker recently obtained i'll Kansas City.
Mr.. Meckcr says the new method OF
construction is simple and cheap. that
1t is self healing when broken and
therefore practically indeStructible, that
it improves with age. that it is mud
less noiSelesS and almost duStleSs and
that it is not slippery even when coated
with ice.
In the building of the road the origi-
nal soil is finely puveriZed, and then
into this there is worked mixture Of
hot asphalt, the whole mass being firm
ly rolled in the finishing. Breaks are
quickly repaired by traffic, the weight
of wheels ccmcnting them together.
The base yields slightly to heavy traf-
tiC and then rcgains its original shape.
1t is equally good for horses and auto
mobiles.
If the experiment proves success it
Is likely that the result will he Il radi-
cal change in the road building meth
ods of the state of New Jersey. with
the substitution of asphalt for II mac
adam process now used.

Where He Was Most Needed.

of his campaigns Il captured Federal
chaplain was brought to his headQuar-
ters. The man showed the deepest
anxiety and depression. for the stories
of General FORESTS severity were rife
in the Union camp. \ little later sup
per was announced, and Forrest, to the
chaplain's surprise. invited him to
share 1t. But his surprise grew to
amaZement when the general turned
to him revcrcntly and said:
"Parson, will you please ask the
blcSsing?"
The next morning Forrest courteous
ly gave him an escort through the Con
fcderate lines, for he wished no non
combatants for prisoners, and babe
him goodby, with the remark:
"ParsOn. would keep You here to
preach for me if you weren't needed
SO much more by the sinners of the

Million a Year For Roads.

Connecticut still leads in the good
roads movement as state. She was
the third to get into 1t, New Jersey
being the first, four years before her,
and Massachusetts the second, in 1898.
Now Connecticut spends S1,OOO,OOO n
year, while the first spends but $780,

than that Connecticut spends the lar

Pennsylvania, with $500 600. but both

The house itself is of Clipped brick and

are many things of interest, including
a swimming pool, for all the family are
fond of this sport, and Mrs. Bryan is
particularly good swimmer and takes
pleasure in giving lessons in the art to
women guests who are not adopts in 1t.
There is an old fashioned flower gar
den, of which the mistress of the
mansion Is especially fond, and there
are dogs and horses and other dOmes-
tic animals, for all the Bryans like
pets and are devoted to riding horse
back and driving.

home which affords much entertain
meut to visitors is the den in the
third story, which is filled with treas
urcS from many lands, Aztec pottery,
curious weapons, specimens of birds
and fish and other articles of sCien-
tific interest In almost sufficient num-
Der to stock n museum.

told of Mr. Bryan's visit to a family
In New York in which there was

gushcd Nebraskan the local trolley
company made an extension in its
transportation system so as to afford
accommodation to those desiring to
pay their respects to Mr.. Bryan or
consult with him on various aspects
of the canvass.
Fairview is an ideal home for man
of Mr. Bryan's tastes and incIinations.
The Democratic leader was born on Il
farm and has always loved the life Of
a tilIcr of the soil even when the du-
ties of his calling reCcSSitatcd his Iiv-
ing in a city or travelling much about
the country. Now he has a farm Of
his own and in the center of it a resi-
denCe which, while not palatial or pre-
tentious, contains all the comforts and
conveniences for which one could ask
and affords room for his library and
the many souvenirs and relics which
he and Mrs Bryan have collected in
the course of their wandcrings in diff
ferent parts of the world.
The distinguished pair have had un-
usual opportunities for making valu-
able collection of this kind.
1t should not he forgotten that Fair
view Is the home of Mrs Bryan as well
as that of the man who is so prominent
In the politics of the nation. Indeed,
perhaps Mrs. Bryan should have more
credit for making Fairview what it is
than her distinguished husband. He
certainly would wish that credit to be
awarded her. She superintendent the
construction of the house. the erection
of which was begun in 1901, Mr.. Bryan
being away from home much of the
