Judge Irn 11. Jones's progressive
oid intelligent farm maiiag-ra, en*
^aged in a work which if patterned :
ifter by others would result in first
I'lam roads throughout the country
Mr, Caskey had tenuiH hauling
rocks out of .Judge .Jones's fields
ind putting them in holes in the 1
public highway. Hands with picks
crushed*!he larger rocks Irefore
they were placed in the road. While
Ihe hands were crushing and unloading
rocks Mr. Caskey himself
was engaged in cleaning out the
ditches on each side of the road.
If every farmer and landowner in
Ihe county would follow Mr. Caskey's
example the troublesome
road problem would be solved.?

veterinary suryeou. w ho declared
tin* stock had inlanders. Several |
of Mr. Mnssey's other mules had
the disease shortly afterward and
recovered. This caused doubts as
to whether the animals kided real
ly had glanders, mh it is said that

attack of t e disease, Mr. Mnssey
carried the matter before the legislature,
and after much discussion
