It would not be amiss for us to plve some hints at this time on the care of those roads. The cardinal essential In pprinu maintenance of earth roads, especial ly tluM on heyy soils. Is pood drain age. So Ion i; as the water can he kept from penetrating deeply into these roads they will remain at least fairly pissalile. To accomplish tliis on avt'iace earth roads, however, is far from eacy. Purine, the early pari of this season of the year rains are often of leu ii duration and tend to saturate 1 1 1 soil. Water from melt- inu snows is perhaps even mote pen- etrathu: than lone-continued rains. while alternate freezing and thawing of the wit surface tends to increase the porosity of the soil and permit en more readv access of water into the foundation. The chief attention of th road man ntut therefore lie directed to ward petting and kecpini: water away from the road. So ,onu as the foun dation can h" kept dry, even a heavy fri, followed hy a rapid thaw will do litMe or no real damage to the road surface. A dry soil does not heave. The foundation will there fore still Ii'1 solid, ami the road will be able to sustain the trallic without serious ruttinir. On the other hand. a saturated soil expands i; really on freezing, and when it thaws out has not only lost practically all power of sustaining the weight of tratlie. but also is in an ideal condition for tak ing up or absorbing still more water, and thus forming still more mud. The sprint: maintenance of earth roads requires, therefore, first, pre ventive measures, which must lie tak en the previous fall or summer, so that the road will go into winter properly graded, well comparted, and with good provisions for drainage; anil, second, timely, continuous, sys tematic and intelligent attention throughout the winter and spring. It is true that the only sensible and realty economical thing to do with earth roads on which the traffic has reached a certain volume is to hard surface them. But the larger part of our earth roads must remain such for a long time to come. These roads, however, need not become im passable mud lanes every winter or spring. A certain amount of timely and intelligent attention during the late winter and early spring will yield result 8 commensurate with the cost. We must also learn that it requires us great, if not greater, skill and ex perience to maintain an earth road properly as to maintain any of the high-class pavements. The funda mental principles rf earth road main tenance are few and not difficult, but to carry out these principles under the almost infinite variations of con ditions with which the road man finds himself confronted requires a high degree of Intelligence, skill, and experience. Not -until we realize these facts and put them Into prac tical application will we have the earth roads which it is possible for us to have. During the early ptirt of the sea son, as long as the weather Is very rainy or there is melting snow on the ground, it will pay to have the road man go over the road dally to se that the drains and side ditches do not become clogged and to note tin need of any necessary repairs. A few minutes work with a shovel may pre vent a Berious washout or damage which, if not promptly checked, might make the road practically im passable. The road drag or so e other sim ilar device finds its greatest useful ness during this season. It may be used to good advantage to clear the roadway of slush and melting snow and so prevent this water from soak ing into and softening the subgrade. To fill ruts, smooth the surface, and maintain the crown of the road, the drag Is unexcelled when in the hands of a skilled operator. An unskilled man may do more harm than good. Furthermore, the actual condition of the road during this period will de pend very largely on the knowledge of the road man as to just when to drag, as well as his skill In the oper ation of the implement. In addition to the maintenance, provision should be made for doinu all necessary grading or earth work as early in the spring as nossibl" it. order that It may become thoroughly eon.-olidated before the dry -weather of sum er. If the work is done too lute, the road will not only probably Income very dusty In dry weather but will need additional attention in the fall. Where the soil is a heavy clay or gumbo the condition of tin road may be very materially improv ed by adding rand from time to time as 'hut already on the road Is worked in by the passing traffic and the drag On!y rarely do our earth roads, ev when neglected, become equally bad over their entire length. Most frequently the really bad places are confined to comparatively short sec tions, while the remainder of the road ir fairly passable. An examin ation f the -worst will usually show that the drainage, either surface or undergrcurd, is seriously at fault. The trouble raa be remedied by pro viding the necessary drainage, and in nearly every case could have been nt evented by a comparatively small tmo'int of timely and i.'.P"rly dir ected attention. The lesson is ob vious. Systematically organized and properly directed maintenance thru cut all seasons Is our only guaranty of ftirly passable earth roads. KprlnK Spring is looked upon by many as the most delightful season of the year, but this cannot be said of the rheumatic. The cold and da" p weather brines on rheumatic pains which are anything but pleasant. They can be relieved, however, by ap plying Chamberlain's Liniment. Ob tainable everywhere. Ad' April The Town of NcMJood Kind friends, have you heard of the town of No-l!ood, on the hanks of ihe river Slow, where the Sotne-Tlmc-or-Other scents the air and the soft tlo-Easles grow? It lies In the valley of Whnt's-the-Use, In the prov ince of Let-Her-Slide; It's the home of the reckless l-Don't-Care, where the Clve-It-l'ps abide. The town Is as old as the human race, and It liiiws with the (light of years; it is wrapped In the fog of the idler's dreams; Its streets are paved with discarded scheir.es, ami are sprinkled with useless tears.- Selected.

Adv Apt II Mogul 8-1 6 Saves Its Own Price In Fuel Bill Reduction THAT'S true. A Mogul 8-16 kerosene tractor saves its own price in fuel bill saving, as com pared with a gasoline tractor. Until April 1st the price remains at $675 cash f. o. b. Chicago. Fortunate early purchases of ma terial still allow you this low figure. After April 1st the price will be $725, same terms. At t itln r price the Mogul 8-16 is by far the most eco nomical tractor because it operates on cheap, common kero sene or coal oil. Gasoline to run the uasoline tractor costs over 100 per cent more than the kerosene a Mogul 8-16 will use. Which is best for you? You know what gasoline costs you, and. you know what you pay for kerosene. Figure it out yourself, or sec ycur dealer. This is a saving you can't afford to miss.
