The Road Drag.

No instrument so Insignificant in ap.
I,earancc, 50 inexpensive and so easily
managed has worked greater wonders
than the road drag, says the Kirksville
Express. This implement that costs
about two dollars can keep the roads for
wothiris of the year almost like a race
track. If the country people would
organize to do things for their own benc-
fit as the people in the city do. they
w.uld devise plans that would keep this
%instrumen, at work upon the roads at the
proper time and as much Of the time as
is necessary to keep the roads in almost
perfect condition The trouble with the
country people is that they are waiting
for the state. the county or ON other
power to come along and do for them
what they could well afford and can d.
for tt'emfclyes. By proper organization
they could have the road, dragged syste-
matically and probably paid for ont of a
general tax and thus iAsure the perform
ance OF the work N The proper time.

peaches a tree can ripen perfectly. 1t
appears that a number of counties have
from one tenth to one.half of a crop in
sight but it should 'e remembered that
trees bearing light loads will mature the
fruit usually we'll and hence would bring
as much money as a larger per cent Of q
full crop.
The Elberta is the leading commercial
peach in this state and this variety is
taken ,as a basis for estimates. Some
