We bars wawtlaws thought that tempi

JOLTING OVER BAD ROADS.
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.
