Road MANAGEMENT.

The greatest expense connected
with good roads is in letting that
which has been made good go back
TO bad for want of a little attention at
the right time says the Missouri Vat
ley Farmer. To build a dirt grade,
then leave it entirely alone until ii
requires entire rebuilding to make Of
1t good road, is the costly part of
road expense. No man would think
OF letting his own business go to ruin
by such default, but it is common in
road management.
There is one tool which can be used
frequently at small cost, that will not
only repair every damage done by
heavy rains but wilr make the grade a
little more perfect by every use, 1t is
the road drag. BY plowing at the side
oil the grade when dirt gets washed
down, 1t may all be put back on the
grade, Just where it is needed to keep
travel out of the mfre With all the
sod out of the way, very good job
or grading may be done by pioW and
road drag. A wellconstructed drag
VIII move wonderful lot of dirt from
side to center.
