Good Roads Day.
'l'uesday was good roach day
and although the disag-reeablc
weather kept l many away there
was a'cry fair attendance at
both mccting-s.
'rh first meeting was held at
ten o'clock in thc morning in thc
district court room and the attendance -
tendance was not as good as it
would of been had conditions
beep ( diffcrcn Supervisor Hinton -
ton presided as chairman and itl- i
troduced Prof. Snyder of the state
university , who spoke of the university -
versity school of agriculture and
the work it is doing in thc way
. of practically educating' the
young farmers.
Prof. Snyder was followed by
1\11' D. 'Vanl King of : Maitland ,
1\10. , who gave his ideas as to thc
breaking and handlin of wild
horses. His theory is based on
actual experience gained on his
. own stock farm. Hc divides all
horses into two classes , the timid
and courageous. He maintains
that most people arc wrong when
they attempt to put a halter or
bridle on the unbroken colt. His
. . a
,
system is based upon thc systematic -
matic education of thc animal.
His system is based upon the
systematic education of thc ani-
mal. Hc showed how , with a
rope attached tQ the fore-lcg' of
the animal at the rct-lock joint
he can ! educate and subdue the
most fractious colt. 1 f the foreleg -
leg is held from the ground until
the animal has done thc masters
will , thc horse will soon learn
that the only way to rid himself
of the discomfiture so caused , is
tu du the will of his trainer and
by this means the horses' educa-
tion may be advanced step by
step until he is thoroughly brok-
en. 1\'ir. King's talk was thor-
oughly practical and was of great
value to the horscmen who were
prcsen 1.
The good ( ( roads meeting proper
was held in thc afternoon , Samuel -
uel Lichty acting as chairman.
Prof. Snyder outlined' the plan
whereby the state is affording the
farmers of Nebraska assistance
in the matter of organizin ' and 1
maintaining farmers' institutes.
As the result of his remarks and
explanations the farmers present
.
.
formed an organization fur the
purpmc of holding an institute in
this city ( luring thc coning sca-
son. John Hutchings was elect-
ed pfl'sident and H. J. Prichard
secretary and treasurer.
1\11' : . King then dcl'ered his
acldress on the subject 91' good
roads. Hc said that the roads
could be put in good shape and
kcpt that way only by : intelligent .
and systematic .n.dng.Vhen
thc roads have been badly cut up
by wheels if they are thoroughly
dragged , world.lg- thc time to-
ward thc center , a perfect drainage -
age will be secured and after a
fcw years there Will he a baked
and packed surface that i" prac-
tica11y water proof. The speak-
cr gave his personal experience
with a dirt road adjoining his own
farm. It was the opinion of
those present who were familiar
with Hicharctson county soil and
conditions , that , Mr. Kinf.r's plan
was feasible Hc asked how
many of his audicnce ( would promise -
ise i to give his systPt11 a trial llnd
sc\'cntccn signified their \\'illing'-
ncss to do so.
't ' here is no doubt hut that 111'
Kings address ( aroused much interest -
tercst in the good roach question
and steps will bc taken to improve
existing conditions along that
