of the legislature, but they are going back to Lawrence as soon as the first robin appears.
 There are several reasons why the Stubbs family prefers the home on Windmill farm at Lawrence to the ex- ecutive mansion at Topeka. The prin- cipal one is that the Lawrence homo, re- gently built, is, in many respects, a finer residence than the governor E mansion. It stands out in the open in forest of old oak and elm trees, with plenty of ground around it; and with plenty of pure, fresh air, too.
 That appeals to the Stubbs family. It especially appeals to the boys, who like to have plenty of room to romp and hunt rabbits in and around the Stubbs homestead at Lawrence, which, with gun and dog, the boys have great fun in chasing.
 Mrs. Stubbs has joined the boys in a protest against the Topeka idea that they must live in the mansion. She is willing to stay there during the ses- sion of the legislature, but she intends to go back to Lawrence in time to put out some flowers and superintend the planting of garden seeds. From time to time Mrs. Stubbs and the boys will run down to Lawrence, which is only twenty,six miles away, and look after the stock and homo pets, which left in the care of the servants when the fam iy came to Topeka.

GOVERNORS HOUSE DOESN'T SUIT
 STUbBS
STATES $sO,ooo EDIFICE IS NOT ATTRACTIVE TO THE NEW
 EXECUTIVE.

TOPEKA. Kansas, March 2.-Ten years have wrought many changes in Kansas. Until 1900 the crying shame of the state was that its governors were compelled to live at hotels or boarding houses and scrimp on their salary of 5000 a year to keep both ends on speaking terms.
 For twenty years preceding that time there was talk of appropriating suifi- cient money to buy or build gov ernor's mansion, but when the lcgis- lature would assemble and some patri- otie member or senator would intro duce bill carrying such an appropria- tion, oratorical fireworks from the rural lawmakers, who were trying to save enough from their per diem of $3 a day 10 pay interest on the mortgages on their farm at home, always sent the measure to the scrap heap.
 About ten years ago the farmers of Kansas had paid off the mortgages and were ready to help put the state in the list of eommonwealths that believe in treating their governors decently" "
 The legislature not only provided for the purchase of an $s0,000 mansion for the governor, with sufficient main tenance fund, but the people, by vote, amended the constitution, raising his salary to 5000 year. This seems like dream to former Governors St. John, Click, Humphrey, Crawford and Leedy, who are still living and pros porous, and who will remember always the scanty food and the inadequate ia elites of Topeka hotels and loading houses in the early days.
 And now, with mansion richly ap- pointed, and with every modern con- venience, where a governor and his family may enjoy life to its full ex- tent, Kansas has elected chief execu- tive who hesitates about using it. Governor and Mrs. Stubbs and the chil- dren balk at the idea of having to live there for two or four years, as the case may be. They are occupying the man sion now, on the threshold of the new administration, and during the session

Keep at Il.

Too many farmers, in fact almost
every one of them, stop dragging the
roads as soon as the weather grows
cold and the ground begins to freeze.
Some become careless about the mat
ter, but the greater majority, perhaps,
think it does no good. These are
wrong ideas, although there is but one
time during the day when 1t is bene-
ficial to drag the roads in winter, and
that is usually in the afternoon. Just
at the time the clods and little bumps
of earth, which thaw during the warm
er part OF the day, begin to freeze
again. 1t is at this period that the
dirt is brittle, and yet not sloppy; and
light dragging each day 1t thaws suf-
ficiently win work wonders. II kept up
all winter.

While we are busily talking about

horses, and no better for the men on
the footpaths. We moved here April

to the barns until after the middle of
May AS soon as the crops were in,
those roads received my individual at
tention, until in a serviceable condi-
ton.
/ did not draw in more dirt to soak
up, but began at the bottom by plow-
ing out and removing over foot of
the soil. | then opened gravel bank
and drew in enough to fill that taken

some cinders, and put them over the
gravel about a foot thick This an
swered very well that season, but in
the fall before the mud began to deep
en-, covered the road again, and dur
ing the winter all the coal ashes were
spread wherever there seemed to be a
low spot. BY following this scheme
for four years succeeded in making a
road that never has any mud. If
find low spot, where water stands
after rain, 1t is taken care of at once.
On the south side of the house. three
years ago, built a road that has not
required any repairing as yet beyond
drawing three loads of gravel last
spring. For this road / pursued lit
tie different method. It was old sod,

sod upside down three deep on either
side of the road, then drew out all the
dirt beneath that was loose and easy
to handle.
This left me trench about 1S
inches or two feet to fill, which / did
from my gravel bank, and no cinders
were put on this road, as | could not
get them. This roadway is about nine
inches above the lawn on either side,
