Are you Saving Money, or are you Losing
it by being without One?
You believe that money spent for moving machine or
binder is we'll invested. Still you use these machines
only few days in the year.
You use the hay rake, because it time and
labor.
These are valuable machines. They are now counted
indispensable by most farmers. even though they stand
unused eleven months in the year.
But manure spreader is still more valuable machine
It's purpose keep the fertility of the soil is the
machine you all and the on which the real
usefulness of all your other farm machines depends
If you have not already done you should consider
the ACCESSIBILITY of having H. c. manure spreader
on your farm.
You will have choice of three different spreaders in the
l. H. c. line-the Cloverleaf, endless apron spreader

ers handles the in all conditions perfectly and

ment of the present state highway
board composed of the State Auditor,
State Treasurer and Highway Commits
sioner. 1t is pointed out that 1t Is
impossible for the Auditor and Treas
urer to make a personal inspection of
the work being carried on in the field
and that If highway board is to be
maintained it should be composed of
engineers who can devote their whole
time to the duties of the department.
Therefore he recommends that the
board be abolished and that all mat
ters connected with the department be
placed in the hands of the Highway
Commissioner. He also recommends
that the salary of the office be made
$4,000 per year and that an increase
be allowed in the office force
Mr.. Snow says there are two road
destroyers: the narrow-tired wagon
and the automobile when driven at high
speed. He urges a. law requiring wide
tires and the regulation of automobile
speed and the payment of an annual
license by the latter to assist in the
maintenance of the expensive roads,
which they use for speeding purposes
AS experience has shown that the
present provision of the law requiring
that state roads be maintained by the
counties through which they pass is
Impossible of enforcement, he recon-
mends an amendment providing that
the maintenance of state roads shall
devolve upon the state, and be paid for
from the public highway fund, and
that road fines be paid into the public
highway fund.
At present the state has 1,OS1 miles
of state road established and surveyed.
The estimated cost of building these
roads is $4,500, 900. With the present
revenues of $374,0OO per annum, one
half of which goes to state roads and
the other half to state aid roads, 1T Will
take approximately twenty-four years
to complete these established roads.
Mr.. Snow therefore recommends that
the levy for the highway fund be in
creased to 1 mill.
The report shows that under the
state aid road law passed in 1907
there have been established thirty six
aid roads in twenty-five counties. The
total mileage is 1882 and the esti-
mated total cost will be $232,536.45.
State aid roads are also projected in
five other counties. Grading, draining
and ditching has been done on 21.O8
miles of state aid roads; macadam and
gravel macadam on 1859 miles; gravel
ing on 1.41 miles; clearing and grub
bling on 3.53 miles. The estimated cost
of those under construction is $1O1,-
312.75 and the cost of completed roads
has been s131, 22S.7O.
There has been established and sur
yeyed 1,081.62 miles of state ROADS.
OF this total mileage 124.5O miles have
been improved at total cost of $685.
O4477. This includes the construction
of seven large bridges of from 12O to
ESQ feet span. The average cost of
construction per mile, including bridges
is $2,7t5.22. The road system for flu
ture state roads outlined by the Good
Roads Association is commended, and
1t is stated that while the time may not
be ripe for carrying out all these pro-
jects, the general scheme seems highly
desirable.
The proposed state rock quarries
for the employment of convicts are also
discussed. An investment of 100000

The labor of spreading is greatly lessened by
using of these H. G. spreaders. Not only is the
labor lessened but is changed into agreeable work.
But the strongest for using H c. spreader
