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.

means everything to you in your search
into automobile values is this: A
record covering the twelve monthsgfrom
January, 1913, to January, 19M, and
embracing every car in operation (not a
chosen few) shows that The Tfioitsands

Xotw il list anding . all thai the
prophets ami iOomolers of good
I'oads may say, nine-tenths of
Ihe roads in the prairie counlry
must be dirt loads at least dur
ing Ihe lifetime of the pie.-eill
generation. 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.
Of course, in and near the

Mammoth Jacks & Big Stallions
COLUMBUS, NEBR., JUNE 4th
This nation has been forced to take a step in connection
with Mexico which it cannot retrace. As there is no reasonable
head to the Mexican nation it makes the situation sodiflicult that
it would be impossible to withdraw until the whole of Mexico has
been subdued. This will undoubtedly require from 10 to 20 years.
Our Government with its :irmy invading a foreign country will he
obliged to purchase thousands of mules for military equipment. Good
mules were never so .scare ami never have commanded such high prices
as at the present time, and if there are not more, mules growi? bv our
people our Government will be obliged to go to foreign countries for a
portion of iU equipment. We should not make this necussarv. Let us
raise more mules. Iam offering jacks strongly bred in tin-'cUSTt'K
i;OUllBON FALCON, STAKLIG UT and IUAGO. families. These
jacks are bred to produce the most desirable mules that can lie grown.

Spanish jacks, sired by jacks imported from Spain. These jacks are.
making the best cross for heavy draft mares that can be had. Come

a farmer or stock man can follow for the next lo or bo years. 1 will sell
a car load of these jacks and a car load of big slallions at
