GOOD ROADS.

Most of our roads will be dirt for
a long time, but they need not be
muddy nor dusty. How can these
things be true?
1. BY dragging the road.
2. Opening the drains and ditch
es.
8. Drag the road again.
4. Run water off the road instead
Of on to 1t.
8. Use the split-log or some 9TH
er drag.
6. Keep out of ruts and use wide
tires.
Z. Drag some more and every
time it rains from your farm to the
next home towards your town.
s. Begin now, as many others
are doing, and you will get the larg-
