see 1t, the building of state roads by
state funds does not best solve the
problem of good roads for the farmer,
but by the farmers cooperating with
the state.
The local interest and effort are need
ed. Then they will get better roads at
less cost. In many sections farmers
are complaining about poor state
roads In one road district in New
York two miles of macadamized road
We're built at n cost of $1,000 per mile.
One half of this amount was subscrib-
ed by the people living in the road dis
trict, and the state paid the other half.
This road was built under the super
vision of the town road commissioner,
and the steam road crusher and other
machinery owned by the town were
used. No large profit was paid to
contractor. Nothing was paid for ma
terial. The only cost Of the road was
the cost of labor. 1 would call atten-
tlon to the fact that the process Of
scientific road building as it was done
in this instance is the reverse of that
so long practiced by farmers The soil
they try to keep in the road is first
all removed down to the bedrock or
gravel, and when the grading is done
the understratum of the roadbed is
made Of the common field stones one
or two feet thick. Next quarry stone
or refuse from the quarry is broken
to make a layer several inches thick,
then finished with a layer of hard
crushed stone from the stone crusher
and rolled with the steam roller.
/ drove over this two years from the
time 1t was built and can say it was in
better condition than some state roads
I have seen built at the same time. I
have taken pains to talk with people
living on this road and find them en-
tirely satisfied with their investment
and planning to build more Of this road.
/ think on one mile of this road four
farmers live on the average. The road
cost them $3.50 per mile, or about $163
each. The interest on the investment
is less than $40, and / think all can
see that no farmer can make a better
investment Here they have road
bed that will last for many years, and
the yearly road tax will keep 1t in
repair Farms have been cleaned of
stone in providing material work was
provided for home labor, a road has
been made in the right way, according
to the principles Of good road build
ing, and the benefits that follow are
beyond estimation.

HIDDEN DANGERS.
Nature Gives Timely Warnings
That No ClOYerpOrt Citizen
Can Afford To Ignore.

DANGER SIGNAL NO. 1 comes
from the kidney secretions. They will
warn you when the kidneys are sick.
Well kidneys excrete a clear, amber
fluid. Sick kidneys send out a thin,
pale and foamy, or a thick, red, ILL
smelling urine, full of sediment and ir-
regular of passage.
DANGER SIGNAL NO. 2 comes
from the back. Back pains, dull and
heavy, or sharp and acute, tell you
of sick kidneys and warn you of the ap-
proach of dropsy, diabetes and Bright's
disease. Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick
kidneys and cure them permanently.
Here's Cloverport proof
William Johnson, Cloverport. KY,
says: "Doan's Kidney Pills in my case
proved to be very reliable remedy and
| have no hesitency in recommending
them. For six years my kidneys trou-
bled me. The secretions were much too
frequent in action and when allowed
to stand contained sediment. was
forced to rise several times during the
night and as a result, my rest was
greatly disturbed. My back ached
severely, particularly at night and in
the morning would be so lame and
sore that l could scarcely get around.
Whenever l contracted the slightest
cold, it settled in my kidneys and made
my suffering more intense. Doan's
Kidney Pills procured at Fishers drug
store have given me great relief from
these troubles and can give them my
endorsement, knowing them to be a very
reliable remedy"

Nothing Paid For MateriaI-No Large
Profit For cvntraetor-only Cost

One fact people are slow to learn is
that the soil natdre made for growing
plants in does not make good road
bed. Soil is decomposed or pulverized
rock with some humus or vegetable
matter When this is wet 1t is mud
when very dry it is dust.
When soil Is used for a road the
most of the time it is in either one of
these two conditions, but there are
short periods wien there is just the
amount of moisture in the soil that
makes 1t so compact as to be a firm
road For many years rural roadmak-
ing has been some process Of getting
more soil into the road and the stones
out. l can remainder how under the
supervision of the path master" we
used TO work out the road tax by
drawing soil in the road with team
and scraper and afterward throwing
the stones from the roadbed into the
ditch. The next year, after the soil
had been flattened out by travel, the
same soil was scraped into the center
of the road again and the same stones
thrown out. The last few years this
work has been more cheaply or easily
done with the road worker. This plan

country road, where heavy loads are
seldom drawn, for two or three months
in summer, but for the greater part OF
the year there is no firm, smooth road
bed, but mud, ruts and dust, says W.
II. Jenkins of Sidney Center, n. Y.
in Hoards Dairyman. For the same
reason that we need better school
houses and rural schools we need
better country roads. Instituting stone
or macadamiZed roads I'm agricultural
localities is n most wise and farseeing
policy, for it hastens the time of bet
ter agriculture and civilization and
adds to the value Of real estate.
Man always finds nature has antici-
pated his needs and is only waiting
for him to work up to a point where
he can use what she provides. He
must learn to make his roads from the
rock before the glacier has ground
them into soil, not afterward. For
many years in many sections the agri-
culturists have not known how to get
rid of the stones on their fields or what
use to make Of outcropping lodges OF
rock that could be quarried. Now the
modern machinery for making macad-
amized roads and the need of them
and learning the uses of concrete will
make these among their most valuable
assets on the farm. AS / am able to

Sin the writer's opinion, the re-

safely and advantageously be made
a radical one upon the lines sug-

the present duties upon some
