UNTIDY HIGHWAYS.
Wisconsin Farmer Thinks Roadsides
Should be Kept Well Mown.

During the time Ut year when tue
corn belt should look lis pest 1t gen
orally looks the worst We. refer TO
the fall months. because at that time
a considerable part OF our highways Is
disfigured with y tremendous growth
of annual and perennial weeds.
We do not intend make a broadside
charge against all farmers concern
ing the attention which they give the
roadside weeds, because we realIZe
that an increasing number of them
make practice of moving the road
side two or three times every season.
There are still enough, however, IA
the careless classes TO dis6gure what
would otherwise be possibly the most
beautiful part of the landscape
Yet individual farmers are not
always to blame, because the contour
of the land is such in many cases that
the building of the roads have made it
impossible to use mower on the
roadside, and in such instances it is
not reasonable to expect that the
farmer whose property such roadside
adjoins should spend the time to trim
them up with a scythe. Ia such in
stances we believe it is the duty Of the
road superior to see that those in
charge of the highway shall consider
it part OF their duty to trim up, by
hand, those parts of the roads that
are inaccessible to a mower. Indeed.
we believe that the time has come
when all the space outside of the high
way fence should be looked after by
those who are authorized to spend the
county or township money for high
way Improvement.
Where the side bitches are not deep,
thus admitting of the use of the
mower right up to the fence, it is
surprising how much good hay may
be secured from the roadside along
the average quarter section farm. We
have in mind instances where men
have seeded timothy and clover and by
keeping the annual weeds cut the USE
full grasses have entirely taken their
place. Under such circumstances it
is not at all unusual to obtain a ton
or ton and a half of good hay cut
from a stretch of eighty rods OF
roadside. This is putting the matter
on the dollar and cent basis, which is
very common way of looking at
things but here is another side to the
question, and that is identifying the
farm front. Even if the hay we're
of no value it pays the man who
WIS the farm or even the renter TO
take the small amount of time that
is required to do the necessary
trimming. This is work that can
actually be done when everything
else is at a standstill on the farm
on account of rain or other causes.

all farmers take a pride in keeping
