THE SECTION LINES.
Serenity ol Placing Country Bondi Under
the Management of Experienced Men—
DiAlcnltlee lonetlmn Encountered In
Securing the Right Kind of Mntortnl
for Good Ronds.
By lli nry Wallace, Editor Iona Homestead.
The problem of securing permanently
good roads in Iowa is hedged round
with many difficulties.
First, the land being laid off in sec
tions, each one mile square, and' the
roads being located almost universally
on section lines for the convenience of
the farmers, no attention whatever has
been paid to securing easy gradients
with a view of decreasing the cost of
transportation. No matter what the
nature of the ground, unless by reaoon
of streams, lakes or high bluffs where
a road is altogether impracticable, it is
placed on the section lines Roads of
this character are purely local, afford
ing an outlet for the farms adjoining,
and the utmost that is attempted is to
mahe them passable when roads better
located are ordinarily good. It follows
from this that in the newer sections the
road system of the state is constantly
becoming worse, and for two reasons;
the roads themselves are r. <i difficult
to travel, and the distance com point
to point, by reason of the necessity of
turning square corners, increases with
the settlement of the country. The
best roads Iowa ever had were made
before the public roads were located.
In those primitive days travelers took
either the valleys or the ridges, gen
erally the latter, and enjoyed roads
reasonably level and undisturbed by
injudicious improvement by supervis
ors who lack the conception of either
what a good road ought to be or how
to make one. As an instance of the
lengthening of the roads we might give
the following: A county seat is lo- ]
rated, as many county seats are, in the
centre of the county. A thriving town
springs up in the corner of the county,
made up of sixteen townships, each six
miles square. The distance from the
county seat to this town on an air line
is nearly seventeen miles. Counting
the meanderings necessary to secure
the best line, it would be in the neigh
borhood of twenty, whereas when the
country is fully improved and the roads
located on . section lines, it is twenty
four.
It is quite true that but few of these
roads on section lines are anything
more than outlets to the farms adjoin
ing; farmers in going to town selecting
those roads that have the best bridges,
the best gradients and fewest mud
holes. Any system therefore that will
give good roads to the state must pro
vide first, either for making direct
roads that save distance between the
leading towns, or for improving in
some permanent way the roads which
custom and travel have made the lead
ing ones. To obviate the difficulties
that have grown out of this custom of
placing roads on section lines will in
volve great expense, as no farmer with
without remuneration will allow his
farm to be crossed diagonally by a pub
lic highway, no matter what the ad
vantages may be to the public.
The second difficulty in securing
good roads, such as are common in old
settled countries and in the older
states, lies in the absence of suitable
material for covering the road bed.
There are comparatively few gravel
deposits in the state; and while a large
section of the state is abundantly sup
plied with rock, and particularly the
rocks peculiar to the carboniferous
formation, these lie at from ten to fifty
feet under the surface of the prairie
and are exposed only along the streams.
It is only in certain localities, there
fore, that material can be found for
making macadam roads.'
The third difficulty in securing good
roads is the independence of the Iowa
farmer, the tenacity with which he
clings to that which is, and the suspic
ion with which he regards any scheme
that involves a large expenditure of
money, of which he is expected to con
tribute the greater portion. He has
figured the cost of macadam, of gravel
and paving and has concluded that the
lowest cost at which the roads gener
ally advocated could be furnished
would involve him hopelessly in debt,
if not bankrupt him entirely. The
more the citizen, or the man of the city,
talks to him about the necessity of
macadamized roads, of which he is to
bear the expense, the more resolutely
lie sets himself against any proposition
to macadamize the road on the line of
bis farm, and concludes with Hamlet,
" Tis better to endure the Ills we have
than tly toothers that we know not f."
As an illustration of this we need
only to point to the fact that on two
successive .Saturdays in March of the
present year, road meetings were held
in the ciiy of Des Moines, each attend
ed by a large number of farmers, the
second adjourning sine die after pass
ings resolution that no improvement
of tlie roads was necessary. Had a
proposition been offered to unite the
eity and the adjoining townships in one
district for road purposes, and to tax
the city as well, as the country for the
®ain lines of roads leading out of the
oity, it no doubt would have carried,
would such a proposition have been
More than just?
, ” nat then can be done for good roads
ln Iowa? While macadamized and
Sravel roads are yet far in the distance
except in limited localities near the
utrge cities, there is very much that can
'lone, and that, too, without any ex
^nBe beyond that already incurred,
?nd that aliould be done at once There
*» no better road in the world than an
bwa dirt road when it is good. It is
*inooth, it is easy on .the horse, even if
I'offletimes dusty, and its continuance
14 this state ot grace varies with the
years, sometimes six months, some
tunes ten. All that depraves a country
r°*d in iowaaod renders it horrible to
Contemplate and a source of profanity,
noth internal and external, is uncon
“olled water. Speaking not now of
country roads leading to cities, where
mere is a great deal of heavy hauling.
Ul of the roads for country use, all
nut is needed to make a road that will
* excellent from six to ten months in
tt?ear' ave,'nging about nine, is to keep
he water from rising up under it, and
Fovide a way for the rain to run off ns
Va|ls. The under waters are found
•|.*ere roa,(ls cross or follow sloughs.
> ' wet spots, where the most hideous
uiiholeg occur, are on the edges or
‘les of these sloughs, and are caused
so**,.,nir d°wn through (ho
, upper fertile soil, and striking a vein
*“ h*T”P*“ or impervious clay, and
must therefore come ont laterally. The
remedy for this is under drainage, eitli
er with tile or with rock, laid cither
under the road-bed or alongside of it
so as to catch the water before it roach
es the bed. We have seen many of the
very worst and most impassable mud
holes rendered dry and placed in exccl
| lent condition in all seasons of the
?e*p* Wll“ an expenditure of not over
Jive dollars in labor material. After
these wet spots and seepy places have
been removed in the manner above sug
gested, the road-bed should be thor
oughly ploughed, harrowed and rolled
**18 reduced to the finest possible
tilth, then graded so as to allow the
vvater to run off as it falls, and. ns
often as ruts are formed by passing
teams in wet weather gone over with
a road-grader when it becomes dry
and kept in a smooth, well-rouDded,
oval shape. To secure this treat
ment of roads, two things must
«>e done: provision must be made in
the laws of the state that will allow
the supervisor, or whoever is in author
ity, to find drainage through adjoining
lands, wherever necessary, under the
law of eminent domain. Unless this is
done, narrow minded land owners will
effectually prevent by unwise opposi
tion any effective road drainage and
hence any permanent road improve
ment _ Again, it is essential that the
road districts be greatly enlarged to at
least half a township, and better still,
a whole township, and the manage
ment of the rdads placed in the hands
of a competent, practical civil engineer;
either a man who has spent years in
acquiring scientific knowledge or some
practical farmer who has good horse
sense, an eye that is about as accurate
as a full set of instruments under ordi
nary handling and an honest pride in
seeing good roads in his township. It
is needlera to soy that this supervision
will require all taxes, whether land tax
or poll taxes to be paid in cash, and
the men who work the roads, whothcr
they be farmers or not, required to do
a day’s work for a day's pay in cash.
This system will involve no greater
outlay than is now expended, will pro
vide superb roads thq greater part of
the ye;r and passable roads all the
year except, as before stated, near
large cities and mines, where, in addi
tion to the above, some covering is nec
essary, and will prepare the way for
the good roads of the future.

Decorating eggs is an Easter amuse
ment, and it is a good plan to save the
empty egg-shells for this purpose some
time beforehand. One way to prepare
them for children is to break a small
opening at eacli end and blow the con
tents; then fill with very small candies
and paste a gilt or a silver star over the
openings, lie suro to allow the inside'
of the egg to dry thoroughly before
Ailing.
Other eggs may have laughing or
frowning faces sketched on them. The
eggs are pretty when placed in a little
inexpensive basket before being pre
sented on Easter morning. Mothers
will take pleasure in preparing some
edible eggs. Have the empty shells
ready with but a small bit Woken front
the ends, and set them on end in oats
or something that will keep them up
right Next make a quart of simple
corn-starch blanc-mange and All two
or more shells.
Now take a part of the mixture and
color it with saffron and Aavor it with
lemon extract; All more shells with
thiB mixture and in the same way color
a part witjh chocolate to make brown
eggs, and with pink coloring and rose-*
water Aavoring for pretty pink eggs.
Every cook knows how to increase the
colors and Aavors, and when the mock
eggs have cooled, break off the shells
and arrange them on a low dish. Shelia'
.Ailed with maple sugar in the same way
make a pretty gift to a child.
Deafness Cannot Do Cared
By local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the. ear. There is only
one way to cure deafness, and that Is by con
stitutional remedies. Deafness Is esused by
an Inflamed condition of the mneous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When ibis tube la
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or Im
perfect, bearing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness Is the result, and unless the inflam
mation can be taken out anq. this tube re
stored to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine eases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an Inflamed condition of the mucous sur

ttim women call on their family
physicians, Buffering, ae they imagine, one
from dyspepsia, another from heart disease,
another from liver or kidney disease, another
froin nervous exhaustion, or prostration,
another with pain here and there, and in
this way they aU present, alike to themselves
and their easy-going and indifferent, or over
busy doctor, separate and distinct diseases,
for which he prescribes his pills and potions,
assuming them to be such, when, in reality,
then are all only symptoms caused by some
womb disorder, lisa physician, ignorant of
the cause of suffering, encourages bis practice
until large bills are made. The suffering
patient gets no better, But probably worse
by reason of the delay, wrong treatment and
consequent complications. A proper medi
cine, like Dr.'Pierce’s Favorite Prescription,
directed to the cause would have entirely
removed the disease, thereby dispelling all
those distressing symptoms and instituting
comfort instead of prolonged misery.
The lady whose portrait heads this article
is Mrs. Ida Coventry, of Huntsville, boon
County, Ohio. She biul an experience which
we wul permit her to relate in her own
language. It illustrates the foregoing. She
writes: “I bad ‘female weakness’ very
bad—in bed most of the time, dragging
down pains through my back and hips; no
appetite; no energy. The family physician
was treating me for * liver complaint I
did not get any better under that treatment
so I thought I would try Or. Pierce’s Favorite
Proscription and his ‘Golden Medical Dis
covery. I felt better before I used one
bottle of each. I continued their use until I
took six bottles of each. In three months’
time I felt so well I did not think it necessary
to take any more. In childbirth it does
what Dr. Pierce recommends it to do—
lessens the pain and perils to both mother
and child ana shortens‘labor*. I would like
to recommend Dr. Pierce’s Extract of Hmart
Weed to those who have never tried it; it
surely is the best thing for cholera morbus,
or pun in the stomach I ever used ; it works
like acharm. I try never to be without it."
The following is from Mrs. Harriet Hards,
of Montpelier, Idaho: “ I have enjoyed bet
ter health since I began treatment with Dr.
Plarcs's Favorite Prescription, for Imoor
rhea and uterine debility then I have for
sixteen years. I am cured of my trouble,
