A* Majority of Farmers Show If? Eatar* Mt la Road Improvement. With the same patieiice that the early acttler waited (or the railroad to be built most the advocates of good roads wait for any decided action to be taken for the bettenneut of oar pablio highways, sajs the Whitewater (Wia.) Journal rat cue lass nvo jean oar raaa uto been the topic of the press, bat we fail to sec the good effect that this should have had on the minds of an intelligent people, and, strange as it may seem, the farmers are the very last ones with which this matter finds any favor. While oar city cousins have long since protested against the slow, nncom fortable horse car and compelled the companies to boild expensive electric lines with palace cars, we are oontented to jolt along in cumbersome vehicles over nearly as bad roads as those our grandfathers traveled in early pioneer days, and farmers who read from time to time of the large sums of money spent by the government in making pohlio improvements would vote sgainst an' equal amount being expended oa out highways. For a proof of this fact just see with what reluctance most farmers wars ao the road, even when well paid for their labor; better paid than they often an for the work which they do on the farm, and yet a greater proof ie the fact that in many of the towna in thia county they still oling to the old way of working out road taxes by allowing a man so much for his team, plow or ahorel end giving him ten hours' stay frrilipg. At a rough estimate there is between 910,000 and 916,000 expended annually on the roada in thia county. If part of this large mm of mooey was invested * in machinery used in making roads, and then hare the work done bj a body of men working under a ooonty overseer who had proved his ability as a road builder and civil engineer by passing a aatiafactory civil service examinetkia, we oould get more and better work done. Such a "i*n oonld be obtained for a moderate salary, and the work done would be more uniform and sati* factory than that done by pet oretseeis who are appointed regardless of ability, hot because of aome politiosl poll aft town meetinga. Of oourae there are exceptions to tha general ciaas ox zanner* woo mwm mw ing and talking to the best of their ability for good roada. It ia to be hoped that success will in the cad arown their effort*. _____ WIDE TIRE BENEFIT8. riMr let Only laprm t?e Bead, tat ?he Loud Is Mm? XmOj ft?a The beneficial effect of the wide tire oa dirt roada ia atri kingly shown in some reoent teata at the Miasonri sgrienltnral experiment station at Colombia. A clay road badly eat into rati by the narrow tine waa (elected for the test es prftfnting ooaditfcma Inert favorable to the broed tire. A munb v of tests of the draft of the narrow tire were made in these open rats and immediately followed by the broad tiree running in the same rata. The first ran of the broad tire orer the narrow tire rats waa aooonpanied by an tawni ^ draft, the seoond by a draft materially less tban the original narrow tire, the third by a still greater decline, and ia the fmirth trio the rat wae nractloallT obliterated ud filled. The narrow tires were then ran over tbe lame sued, with the result! that the draft wac lighter than before the broad tires had been ' used. Alternating the broad and narrow tires on this road tor a somber of tinea resulted in a gradually decre?i draft In other words, the broad tires were improving the road surface to such an extent when run but half the time as to mske the draft considerably less for all vehicles. This clearly demonstratss that if even half the wagons used on dirt roads had broad tires the results would be beneficial in draft and enormously beneficial in bettering the condition at tbe roads. In another trial, when a clay road was so badly out into rate as to be almost impassable for light vehicles and pleasure carriages, after running the 0 inch tiree over this road IS thnss the ruts were completley filled and a first clan bicycle path made. A, careful no* ord of the drafts shows that tbe draft was materially less than with tbe nar? row tires immediately before. Thus tbe road would have been gradually improved bythenseof the broad tires at the same time that the fanner would have been able to transport his products over uw nu wiu poawj mwwu draft KmI Reatfiray. Secretary Wilson baa given direction* to General Roy Stone, AM of the bureau of good road* at the department of agriculture, to contract a sample ?el roadway at the most ooovenient location be oan And at tbe N sab villa exposition, where it may be seen and studied by tbe riritors who will attend tbe ax- 1 position during tbe summer. Secretary Wilson think* tbe steel trackway lor wagon* is tbe easiest solution of tbe j good roads problem, particularly in tbe west, where stone and gravel are aoan* and tbe soil is deep and sticky. Inprortd BmmU For MleMpyL Mississippi now baa a road law, which, if properly carried into effect, and if kept in effect for a material length of time, will probably give tbe state a system of public roada superior to any that it bas ever bad and perhaps so peri or to that of a majority of tbe southern states.?Mobile Register. niwn took sm id?
