TIip following very liniely ar ticle on Ihe good roads question appears in tin issue of Wallace's Farmer of Ibis week and the a vice thai it gives on this subject, so vital to the welfare of an community, should be kept in mind and Ihe lessons Inught by il put. into practice in improving Ihe roads throughout the coun try: We were over in Illinois Ihe oilier dav, and the papers were full of 1 roads talk, for if was (iood Roads Iay, and ioernor Dunne turned the lirst shovelful of dirt for some good roads movement. l was road dragging day. The paper had pictures of the Illinois woman who won the prize for road dragging. In fact, the daily papers in Chicago seem to have just discovered that there is such a:rr 'implement, as the road drag, and f ah I nine-lent lis of the roads for the next lifleen or twenty years musl be kept in re pair by its use, and thai il can be done at an expense of from sj to S") a mile per annum. This leads us to repeal. Some things I hat we have been saying for about thirty years mi the sub ject of good roads; The only thing that makes roads bad is water uncontrolled. Wider is the mos( accommodating thing in the world. It will run off. if you -;ive it a chance. There are I wo kinds of water that affect loads tlie under water, that is. water under the roadbed or alongside of it. and the upper water, or Ihe wale i' that falls from above. Therefore, if you will first tile so that the under waler can run o(T when it appears, grade the road, and keep it rounded up so lhal Ihe upper waler will have a chance lo run off. you cannot help bill, have a good dirt road most of Ihe year. ISefore 'making a road of this kind, there should be a survey. Where lo follow the sectional lines you would have lo go up a sleep hill. Von should Hot do s(1. ini! go around it. buying- the right -oT-way around it. instead of going up and down the hill, ff I here are si reams o be cross, ed. I here must be culver t s and bridges, and these should be of cement and permanent. II is utter folly lo build a bridge with any other material than cement and steel. If a road is once surveyed aid graded, il can be kepf in condi tion by the road drag, provide farmers know how to use it What is the use of the road drag anyway? Simply to till up ruts and holes, and gradually drag a little more dirl lo the renter, so I hat the water can run off inb the ditch or either' side. Tn a lime like Ihe present, when then has been no rain to make nils Ihe roads are good. There is m belter road in a drv time than the dirt road properly roumlet up. If is smooth ; il is oval; il is solid: it is elastic more so than any brick or stone road can be and a better road most 'of tin year than you can possibly inaki out of anv of these materials. If is more easily constructed am maintained. 1 here are times ui Hie year when it is not possible lo make a good road out of dirt; but (his time will be shortened up at both em s 11 everv lime me roau drying otf after a wet spell, it b dragged, so that the water may run off, Ihe sun shine on it. and Ihe winds blow over it. To drag a road when it is dry or dusty, as sonic farmers do, is a profana tion of both the road and lh I rag. Xine-lenlhs of the roads in Ihe prairie country innsi ne tiui roads.

Therefore, it is most important. that. farmers learn how to use Ihe drag, and iheri use it. This is Ihe sum and sub si mice of what we have been teaching on this subject for o" years.
