great Improvement made In your road
and other roads by its use? Are you
using It now, or Is your road drag
lying In the fence corner? II so, why
10? Are you one Of those fellows who
tolerate q bad road simply because
they are not willing to use their ef-
forts to make 1t good one In the
ways that have been so clearly pointed
out? Or are you living in township
where you have narrowminded trus'
tee, who is not willing to pay you to
use 1t; or in a township (of which
there are a NUMBER, where the roads
we're made reasonably good by use
Of the drag, but the supervisor has
ordered out the grader and spoiled all
your good work? How about It?
Where the road drag has been used
according to directions. declares Wal
1ace's Farmer, and where there have
been intelligent road supervisors, the
roads are to-day better than anybody
imagined they possibly could be when
this campaign was inaugurated. We
can point out sections in the state OF
Iowa, where the roads have been so
we'll dragged that only Immediately
after the very heaviest rains Is there
any rutting. even when passed over by
heavy loads.
We demonstrated three years ago
that II the poll tain states where
a poll tax is levied-were spent In in
telligent dragging Of the country
roads, and the ordinary taxes used for
putting in permanent culverts and
small bridges, the road problem would
be practically solved so far as coun'
try roads are concerned, always ex-
cepting roads near the cities over
which very heavy traffic Is constantly
passing. There some kind Of hard
surfacing would be required. We are
satisfied that for the ordinary country
road In the corn belt there Is nothing
a. yet discovered for road maintaining
purposes that is equal to. the simple
road drag, where the roads have been
properly drained and graded by the
use Of the road grader.

Convenient Straw Shed.

The following method for the con-
struction OF a convenient straw shed
has been submitted: Posts Of the de-
sired height and at the proper dis
tances apart should be set In the
ground. On top Of these may be
nailed cross pieces or brush may be
laid there. At threshing time the sep
arator can be set 30 the straw will
run on top of 1t and fall around 1t,
forming a windbreak to the north,
east and west. This makes good shell
ter for cows. horses, hogs or sheep.
Il will pay the farmer to build such
a shed II he needs more barn room,
even though It be necessary to con-
struct It by hand. There Is generally
enough old straw or hay on the aver
age farm TO do very well for this
purpose. Some farmers use such
sheds a. milking places and others
fnd them convenient for housing thar
ewes at Landing time.

Three years ago we induced the

In going from county seat to county
seat in the muddiest part OF their
muddy territory persuading farmers
to make road drags and use them Tor
the purpose of having better roads 10

road drag was used as directed there
was q wonderful Improvement In the

zeal OF the farmer has slackened ana

are yet far from being what they
should and could be.

EARLY FLOWING.
Il 10 q Most Effective Method Of Do
stroying Weeds.

eeSg'"0
II has been demonstrated again and
again that early blowing Is a most
effective means of destroying weeds,
especially the perennials which are
propagated from roots that winter In
the soil rather than from seeds. The
wild artichoke has taken possession
OF many fields during the summer
where small grains were sowed last
spring. This is due to the fact that
water has covered these low lands Tor
days, or even weeks, In some locali'
ties. which drowned or rather smoth'
cred, the grain and the artichokes
prospered under the conditions that
prevailed. The. wild morning glory
and binder weed are on the Increase
in many localities. These are serious
pests on rich soils that are subject 10
overflow or standing water during the
growing season. A cultivated crop VIII
control these weed pests. but on nc.
count of wet weather II has been al
most impossible to grow corn on low.
poorly drained lands during the past
few years.
The progressive farmer will make
q special effort to pillow his helds
where weeds, such as We have men,
toned. are at home, just as soon as
the crop is taken from the land. says
the Northwestern Agricultural. II
necessary NOW and burn the weeds,
however, a chain or wire attached TO
the plow beam and allowed to drag In
the furrow will hold the growth down
until II is all covered with earth from
the plow. Many of the plows are now
provided with attachments for this
purpose.
Don't allow the tops Of the weeds
TO remain uncovered, because they
will continue to grow and ripen their
roots for winter. The special advan'
tage gained from early blowing is that
of destroying the growth Of the top
before the roots, or tubers, are ma
tured sufficiently to carry them
through the winter. The wild arti-
choke is quite effectually destroyed
where the land is plowed in August or
early in September. The tubers do
not mature until after the blossoms
fall. The stockman who is so fortu'
nate as to have his fields fenced with
wire that will confine his pigs on the
land after It is plowed, will find them
industrious helpers In roofing out the
succulent tubers and dubious growths
for food. They will 60 for them like
hungry pigs for corn. In the event OF
dry weather quack grass is seriously
injured and may be killed by early
fall blowing. The furrow should be
thin and 30 turned that 1t will lie
roughly in which position the air will
soon destroy the growth Of both root
and branch. An occasional use Of the
spring tooth harrow, when the soil Ia
very dry will aid in killing quack grass
roots.
We are Of the opinion that II will
pay to SOW q pound or two Of dwarf
Essex rape seed per acre on the
early plowed fields for soil protection.
The live roots Of the growing plants
will appreciate available plant food
as It is liberated and the shade Of the
leaves will also keep the soil from
washing and blowing. Plow the
weedy grain fields just as early as
possible this fall. and note the advan'
tage thus gained next year. Do II
now.
