BUILDING GOOD ROADS.
How II Is Being Worked Out in Ohio
Especially In Muskingum County.

There has been considerable agta-
tion throughout Ohio over the good
roads question for a number of years,
writes ID. Y Geddes to Country Gentle
man. The result was that few years
ago the state legislature authorized the
organization of a state highway depart
ment principally for educational pur-
poses, but the work soon became SO
great and the demands so insistent
that the educational view has largely
been lost sight of in the practical side
of the question. This department Is
still in its infancy and is composed of
a state highway commissioner and two
assistants, together with resident en-.
gineers in various sections OF the
state. The state legislature, at its
last session, authorized an appropria-
tion of $4,000 per county, or a total of
$4,000 for the SS counties of the
state. This amount is distributed pro
rata to the countless the state paying
for so per cent. of the work done, the
county for 25 per cent, the township
for 10 per cent, and the property own
ers along the line of the improved high
way for ten per cent. of the cost of
the work in the given township.
These conditions have been taken
advantage of in Muskingum county for
the past two years toward obtaining a
mile of brick road each year, the
writer having had charge of all such
work as resident engineer. One OF
the primary conditions in the applica
ton for a brick road Is that the road
must at one end join on a brick pave

Rheumatism

Do you want to get rid
of it? If so, take DR.. Miles
Nervine modified as di-
rected in pamphlet around

direct curative properties
it has a soothing effect up

which the rheumatic
pains are controlled, and
rest and sleep assured.

of this painful disease,
some of them after years
of suffering. If it will
cure others why not you.
If your case is compli-
Gated, write us for advice,
it costs you nothing and
may save you prolonged
suffering.

YIELDS ON SMALL FARMS.
They Average Better Than Upon the
Large Section.

The man who spoke was an old
time thresher. II was at Columbus,
in Ward county, n. d., that he gave
his opinion. The size for the farms
was being discussed at the time. He
said: 81 have noticed this, that when
| am threshing on a quarter section
farm I get more bushels to thresh per
acre than when | thresh on a half
section farm. In fact" he said, "the
larger the farm the less the bushels
per acre" Doubtless this man was
right. The more acres the average
grain grower has the more he wants.
He skins over his work, he has so
many acres to cover. He does that
work so poorly that low yields result.
The season is blamed, when the
fault lies with the farmer, declares
the Orange Judd Farmer. He says
the seasons are changing, when the
change is with himself. II is a change
from reasonably good to inferior farm
ing. Such is the story of farming in
several of the states beyond the Mis-
sissipi. Man In his reaching out for
acres lets slip from his grasp the idea
OF good farming. The country suffers
in consequence.
