nature of the soil. The all.important
question. therefore, Is, to SO construct
and care for these roads that they
may be kept In a reasonably good con-
dition, and at the least outlay that
will effect this end.
1t goes without saying that when
constructing a country road 1t ought
to be put in condition that will read
fly take away the water that falls.
Without this no road can be kept in
a proper state. 1t should be wide
enough to admit of the easy passing
of two loads of hay on racks, and 1t
should not be of unnecessary width or
height in the center When laying
out this road it is usually plowed to
the desired width. What that width
may be should vary somewhat. In
the Judgment of the writer it does not
need to have a width of more than
40 feet. In most instances the road
bed is made all too wide. Oftentimes
1t Is made 60 to 70 feet. Where is
the necessity for a road being so
wide? When this wide. it Is much
more liable to rut, since the water is
much more liable to lodge in any de-
pressions that may occur as the result
of traffic.
The road is rounded up nowadays
by the use of the road grader. The
saving of labor in this method of road
building as compared with the scra-
per is very great. The roadbed should
be so shaped that the highest point
should be along the line Of the CEN
ter, and the slope should be gradual,
till the sides of the bitches may be
approached, when it may then be
much more abrupt. The bitches
should be deep enough to carry away
the water readily. 1t is not necessary
that they shall be any deeper.
When laying out country road, at
tention should be given to the
straightness of the lines made by the
solutely straight on outer sides G.
the roadbed it will remain straight
for all time. The roadbed will in it.
self have an attractiveness that is
pleasing if for no other reason than
that it is absolutely straight. The
necessity for very deep bitches on the
sides is not apparent, and there is no
necessity for having the crown Of the
road unduly high.
When the soil roadbed is thus made,
the next important matter is to so
manage it that 1t will give the great

Horses.
The section devoted to the horse
exhibit was probably the most inter-.
esting exhibition to the greater por-
ton of the visitors. The Dinnie ex-
hibit, containing the major portion
of his fine string of trotters, was alone
worth visit to the fair.
Minot certainly has reason to feel
proud of the Dinnie horses. Mr.. Din
ME exhibited the following horses:
Don Densmore, 2:02A. This horse
has pulled down over $4,000 in purses
the past season. He will remain in
service here in Minot until June 25th.
Don Conomore, 3-year-old with
record of 2:1SA. This horse is en-
tered in the 2:06 class for a purse of
$4,000 at the Panama Exposition.
D. A. Densmore, a yearling trotter
that will try for the 2:10 mark for
two-year-olds this coming season.

Split-Loq Draq Is Useful.

A split-log drag or some similar de-
vice is very useful in maintaining
the surface after suitable bitches and
cross section have once been secured.
This drag can also be used to advan-

an earth road. The principle involved
In dragging is that clays and most
heavy soils will puddle when wet and

In its bearing on rural life the good

the building of these cannot become

centuries to build them and they were
built in a country where labor is or
was proverbially cheap.
