Il OLTING OVER BAD ROADS w Majority of Ftrmcn Show No Intel Mt In Rond Improvement. With the 6ame patience that the earl; ttler waited for tbe railroad to b lilt mast tbs advocates of good road ait for any decided action to be take! r the betterment of onr public high ays, says tbe Whitewater (Win.) Jotu ll. For the last five years oor roads hav *n the topic of the prcra, bat we fai see tbe good effect that this shoal ive had 011 the minds of an intelligeo ople, and, strange as it may aeem, tb rmers are tbe very last ones wit hich this matter finds any favci bile onr city cousins have long sine otested against tbe slow, uncomfort tie horse car and compelled the com mies to baild expensive electric line ith palace cars, we are contented t It along in cumbersome vehicles ove larly as bad roads as those our grand then traveled in early pioneer dayi id farmers wbo read from time t me of the large sums of money spes r the government in making publi inrovements would vote against a [ami amount being expended on ou ghwaya. For a proof of tbia fact juat see wit bat reluctance most farmers work o e road, even wben weJl paid for tbei bor; better paid tban they often at r the work which they do on th nn, and yet a greater proof ii th ct that in many of the town* in tbi mnty they still cling to the old wa working out road tsxes by ailowin man so much for his team, plow c ovel and giving him ten hours' star lling. At a rough estimate there is be twee 0,000 and $lfi, 000 expended annual! i the roads in this county, if part c is large Rum of money was investe machinery used in making roads, an en have the work done by a body a en working under a county oversee bo had proved his ability as a roa liJder and civil engineer by passin satisfactory civil service examination b could get more and better wor ine. Such a man could be obtaine r a moderate salary, and the wor roe would be more uniform and satii ctory than that done by pet overseei bo are appointed regardless of ability it because of some political poll a wn meetings. Of course there are exceptions to tfa neral class of farmers who are worli g and talking to the best of the! ility for good road*. It is to be hope at sncce? will in the end crown tbei 'orta. WIDE TIRE BENEFITS. a? Hot Omljr Improve Umi Road, bat tli Load Ia Mora Eullj Drawn. The beneficial effect of the wide tir i dirt roads is strikingly shown i me recent tests at the Missouri agri Itural experiment station at Colon a. A clay road badly cut into rut ' the narrow tires was selected tc e test as presenting conditions leai vorable to the broad tire. A numbe tests of the draft of the narrow tir ere made in these open ruts and im ediately followed by the broad tire uning in the name rat*. The first rn the broad tire over the narrow til ti was accompanied bj an increase aft, tbe second by a draft material] m than the original narrow tire, tb ird by a still greater decline, and i e fourth trip the rat was practical! iliterated and filledt The narrow tin ere then ran over the some road, wit * results that the draft was lightc an before the broad tires had bee ted. Alternating the broad and namn res on this road for a number of time suited in a gradually decreased draff i other words, the broad tires wei iproving tbe road surface to such a ctent when ran but half the time as t ake the draft considerably less for a ibicles. This clearly demonstrates thi even half the wagons used on dii ada had broad tires the results woul i beneficial in draft and enormous! sneficial in bettering the condition < ie roads. In another trial, when a clay roe as so badly cut into rats as to be a oat impaaaablc for Hght vehicles an ieasure carriages, after running the ich tires over this road 18 times tb its were completley filled and a fin ass bicycle path made. A careful rw d of the drafts shows that the dral as materially less than with the nai iw tires immediately before. Thus tf tad would hate been gradually in roved by the use of the broad tires i le same time tbat the farmer woul ive been able to transport bis produc ?er the road with greatly red doc raft SU?1 Botdvaj.

The ExrcriBfBt Likely to Be Tried la Hew York State. y 7 Commenting on the enforced Idleness e of convicts In the state penal lnstitu i tlons. tbe New York Tribune says edi- 4 a torlally: i- 1 Tbe suggestion which was some time ago made in these columns tbat able- ? bodied inmates of prisons and peniten- J 0 tiarles be set at work building improved * , roads seems at last to be acted upon to d : a considerable extent and with gratify* ! lng results. Tbe convicts in tbe state t, e prisons are as a rule otherwise employb ed, but those In charge of the penitcn- \ ' tiarles have not been able to provide ? work In prison shops for tbe prisoners a '* under their control and so have sought '* | It outside. In eight or more counties * of this state tbe penitentiary prisoners n 0 j are employed either at roadbulldlng v * I or at crushing stone for roadbulldlng. o '* i It Is not known that any bad effects T ' have been experienced from tbe under- ? ? taking, while tbe good effects are nu- * merous and obvious. Among tbe latter h 0 these are conspicuous: The prisoners b 0 have the physical and moral benefit of <j r healthful labor In the open air; the pris- h . oners are made to pay their way In- ti stead of being a heavy charge upon the ^ D community; the construction of good 1 roads is promoted, and the cost of them * a la decreased* and the number of prison- * ?rs la dlmlnlahed, for tramps and other * I? "sons of rest" a*'' * counties where committal to th , Jtentlary means ^ * atone breaking and rotMbullding. It j? may be added that one of tbe chief ob- ? jectlons to the system?the offensive parading of convtcta In the public view *J B ?has been found groundless, for no _ one would take tbe penitentiary prison- * era working on the roads to be other ? than ordinary laborers. There la reason to believe that thia Q ? aystem might profitably and properly ? ir be extended throughout the atate and " ,j be applied to the Inmates of atate pria- p g ona aa well aa of penitentiaries, when u other work falls. The prisoners might ti k also be employed at repairing and f( d maintaining tbe roads after tbey are n t bnllt Most of tbe prisoners at Sing * h Sing are now at work, but It la not o is long since moat of them were idle and n r were aerlously suffering, morally and i physically, from enforced Idleness, and within a few hours' drive from] e Oaalning are hundreds of miles of * roads that are in their badness a re- % Ir proacb to tbe community and a cause d of vexation and of actual pecuniary if losa to all who are compelled to use 8 them. We do not mean, of course, that J counties and towns are to wait until e prisoners can be secured to build fc.wd J roads. But whenever and wherever ei " ablebodled prisoners are Idle tbe re- b proacb of bad roads is aggravated two- ? 0 fold. All roads should be made and 0 kept good, and all prisoners who are able to work should be Kepi ai neaun- ? ful and profitable work. Those are two * * rules which should be constantly ob- * erred and between which an Intimate ? r relationship Is to be found. I ,!

H d In the forthcoming report of Super- * lntendent Macbln of the free delivery e service there will be an extended dlsq eussion of the necessity of good roads c in the extension and maintenance of o g the service. Heretofore It has been re- ? h Quired that in the establishment of tbe b p service first consideration should be * D given to the condition of the roads.

While p U the roads In tbe southwestern states, as a it a rule, are In food condition there are * rt sections where repairs are regarded as p d essential In order tbat an unlnterrupt- p j ad service may prevail during all the > sf year. Several months ago announce- ? ment was made that there were routes b d In Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota, the ? 1- Dakotas and Iowa where tbe service d would be discontinued unless repairs 6 and Improvements reported to tbe de- ? io partmeut as necessary were made. In ? it most of these cases the warning of the j| y department has been heeded. It Is evl- c ft dent, however, in several instances that ? r- no serious consideration has been given n ie to the announcement of the postmaster J >. general In this connection. h it Io such cases the department la ad- 11 id rising road supervisors and other Int* terested officials thst the lack of care id given to the roads covered by rural j, routes will, if continued, endanger the ? permanency of the service.
