EARTH ROADS

We may recognize the value OF hard
and durable roads in all parts of the
country, but still the fact remains
that for a long time to come the ma
jority of the roads will be composed
of earth. Furthermore, III about nine
months out Of the year, the earth road.
if properly cared for. it is the only
road at present available. Hence,
these communities should set them
selves seriously to work to learn the
best methods of maintaining earth
roads and of getting the maximum
service from them. Prosperity comes
To tho country TO a great eXtont
through the prosperity of the farm
ere. This fact strongly suggests the
Importance OF giving the earth road
every possible care and attention in
its location, drainage, construction
and maintenance.
An earth road composed OF water
holding soil should be exposed To the
sun and air as freely as possible. as

sunny portions of such a road viii

complished bv clearing. a sufficient
amount of trees and undergrOWth
away from the road. It must be re.
membered. however. that sandy and
~grayelly roads require moisture, and
in these cases some shade should be
retained. Furthermore, trees are ben.
eficial along river banks and on steep
! grades subject TO washing.
Drainage is IN of the most i'm.
portant points to consider in connec.
ton with ar earth road. The major
ity Of earth roads in all mountainous
and billy districts have too much
| drainage. Occasionally a road will be
found with five bitches, three in the
middle made by the horses hoofs and
by wheels of the vehicles, and two
on the sides. All well-constructed
earth roads are supposed to have nc
more than two bitches, one on each
side of the travelled roadway. Keep
the water out OF the middle of the
road by giving it a crown or elevation
in the center of ~ inches above the
top of the inner slope of the ditch for
a 20-foot road. and where the hills are
a little steep make the crown 10 inch,

WHAT A CURRY COMB IS FOR

Taa Horse World" is of the opin-
ion mat one Of the most abused arti-
rl,s about a stable is a currycomb,
particularly the old-fashjoned kind
with sharp teeth. At no time are the
result, worse than mt this season. The
cug. comb. when used an a horse at
ain should be employed with Judgment.
Otherwise it does more harm than
GOOD. We have an zen horses with
staring coats and grabbed tempers,
whose owners arr over scratching
av.. at them with the combs.
III grooming horses, main reliance
should be placed upon the brush. The
comb should be used to clean the
brush, and is sometimes seryiceable
for direct application, though it ought
to be- rubbed in the direction the hair
lies. Some men will ruffie the whole
coat with the comb in order to loosen
up the dirt and remove traces OF scurf
among the hair. The hard teeth OF
the comb injure the skin, and thus
produce more scurf than they remove.
The secret of keeping a horses coat
in good condition is to use the comb
but seldom, and the brush moderately,
taking pains not to rub the hair the
wrong way. A little regular brushing
is better for the coat than a great deal
Of reckless currying, and very much
better for the horses disposition.

LAUGH AND GROW FAT

Good fun and plenty of it is found in
the parlor comic section of The Sun
day Record Herald. The constant aim
is to keep these amusing Illustrations
free from vulgarity and mischievous
suggestions which characterize so
many comic sections. 1t is certainly
a cure for the blues.
There is an entertaining variety OF
special features in The Sunday Rec.
ord-Herald and in addition a Sunday
Magazine which has all the distinctive
qualities of the famous independent
periodicals. Celebrated authors and
artists contribute the text and illustra
tons. The picture on the first cover
is in rich colors. 1t sets a new stan
dard in Sunday Journalism.

sides, the bitches which are often
built across the road on steep grades
to defect the water will not be need.
ed Instead of carrying water across
the road III open bitches, tile or con-
crete drains should, if possible, be
provided. They should have sufficient
capacity and fall to carry the maxi
mum amount OF water that is expected
TO flow through them at any one time.
The capacity is increased in proper
ton to the fall or grade; for instance,
Finch pipe laid on a one per cent
grade will carry 1900 gallons per min
ute. while the same pipe laid OH a
. per cen grade will carry $500 gal.
Ions per minute. Furthermore, a cul-
vert laid fiat will soon fill up. while
n having a good incline will keep
itself clear.
In the maintenance of the earth
road, avoid the mistake of changing
the natural order of things. Natur-
ally the soil is found on top and the
clay on the bottom. 1t this order is
reversed in constructing a road. the
result will be less satisfactory than
if the soil be left at the ton of the
road, for soil makes a better surface
to a road thaon clay. II the road bed
is largely clay to start with, it will be
well to place sandy soil or clean sand
on top. A covering of 6 to 10 inches
of sand upon clay that persists III
breaking up into deep mudholes will
usually be satisfactory, and ii sand
enough be added, this clay will cease
to make mud. If the roadbed is COM
posed of sand it can be improved by
an application of clay.
The rule for a ~servicable earth road,
then, is as follows: make bitches on
each side and keep them open; haul
sand and gravel upon sections need
ing this treatment; use a road machine
and a split log drag judiciously "a full
description of which will be contained
in a later article); follow the stitch
in time" rule and give an earth road
the same careful persistent attention
you would give your prize acre, fac.
tory or store, and it will pay as large
a profit in proportion to your individ-
| ual outlay.

MATCH THE FARM TEAM

This does not imply that those of
the same markings IL same color are
to be worked together. Matching
farm teams is more difficult than
matching driving teams. A slow walk
ing horse should never be put with
a fast walking one, for you will have
to constantly urge the slow one, and
this soon irritates the other one.
Match gaits; match temperaments
and match horsepower. These are the
three essentials to keep in mind when
matching up the team for heavy
work. Never put a young horse to
very heavy, steady work such as plow-
ing alongside of an old staid horse.
The youngster is apt to do more than
his share, in spite of all you can do
to equalize the work. When breaking
a colt | have always found 1t best to
put it alongside an even tempered
horse that is not easily ratified. Such
a mate will soon give confidence to
the colt and he readily falls into work
without much trouble. A %correspon-
dent says give the colt some light
farm work at first such as blowing or
narrowing. That's risky. would
never nltcn a cOlt 10 Il lldTToW. lou
never know what they are going to DO
and 4 harrow is a mean thing to get
a horse mixed up in. | would rather
give the colts the light driving and as
they become seasoned give them some
heavier work. Match up the colt as
soon as possible and when the teams
are matched UP don't change them all
around unless for some very good rea-
son. Horses have to learn how to pull
and work to9ethor.-farmer and

VIM. Bolgar died at the Central
House Wednesday evening, after an
illness of ABOUT ten days with pneu-

years of age and had been a resident of
Wausau for about fifteen years. When
the Spanish American war broke out
he accompanied Co. g to Porto Rico as

years in Cody, Wyo., and returned here
last May, later purchasing a bowling
alley on Scott street, which he operated
