LOOK AFTER ROADS
lload of liox lltitte Comity Need
Ijooktng After During Spring
and Stiniiner Month
Box Butte county, becutiHe of the
many roads which travrrpe the difTor-
ent portions, is purtlrularly Inlerost-
ed in the proposition of pood roads.
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.

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.

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.
