Why the Reign of King Mad Should Bo Cut Short Everywhere. There appears to bo a growing im pression to the effect that a road is a place of passage from one point to an other, and that if it is anything short of that, the ones accountable for, its condition may be held responsible for the trouble that may be occasioned by its faultiness. Passengers injured in a railroad ac cident, occasioned by a defective road bed or an imperfect rail, are very sure to sue for damages and to recover lib erally. Anyone injured by a defective side walk can usually make a town or an in dividual pay smartly for it. The spirit of the law seems to be that a railroad must be a railroad and in a condition to properly carry on its work ' in a business-like manner. A sidewalk must be kept in a safe condition for people to walk over it. , Now, what about a road over which persons in vehicles must travel ? Must it be a real road? Oh no! Most any old thing will answer. It differs from a side walk and a railroad. They have to be what they pretend to-be, but a wagon road may be simply a streak of mud or stones or anything else. No one ap- I pears to be responsible for the condi- ' tion of the public road. It is supposed ' to just run wild and look out for itself. ( If "ar.y one is injured or his vehicle , broken, it is the result of his own folly , in presuming to use a road for traveling purposes. But the times change and we are , changed with them. Folks are begin- j ning to apply the same rules to county , "governments they do to city govern- . ments and private corporations. Acci- j dents on public roads and bridges caused by defective conditions of the same have to be paid for by the county. It is just. Good roads are cheapest in the lorg run. The reign of King Mud should be cut short. Good Roods. COST OF MARKETING. Bind Has Added Enough to It to Keep Many Fcfrmers Poor. The fight for reduced freight rates which the farmers, through their repre sentatives, used to wage- so earnest ly and incessantly against the railroad companies, has now been brought near er home. Increased competition among rail road companies, dull times, and much legislation friendly to the farmers, have, diverted the attention of the pub lic from the railroads, many of which are in the hands of receivers, to the farmers, themselves, and the roads they maintain. The cost of the long railroad ship ment to the metropolis has been re duced nearly to the minimum. Atten tion is now being directed to the wagon toad leading to the local market. Here in has lain a hidden enemy to the pros perity of the agricultural classes. The monster, Mud, has added so much to the cost of marketing, and thus, indi rectly, to the cost of production, that thousands of farmers have failed, where, with good roads, they would have been 'happily prosperous. Not that the farmers have found the wrong they wish corrected is very close at hand, and has a vital influence pa their welfare, they should not be slow to correct the evil. Every poor road robs them of profit and the pleasure of living, for amid their surroundings mud-clogged highways mean enforced isolation. The transportation problem has be come simplified. Every man is his own road-maker. Every neighborhood, town and city has its work to do. The proper amcjmt of labor and legislation will correct the wrongs. Good Roads. 7 'sleds for everybody. Homemade Ones Are Just as Good M Those You Buy. Many farmers do not have sleds, thinking the first cost too great for their pocketbook. Ready-made sleds can be bought of implement dealers, but they cost considerable, and are no better than those made at home. Get from the sawmill or lumberyard two 10-foot 2xl4-inch oak boards for run ners, two 2x6-inch boards ten feet long to go on top of the bolsters, one 12-foot 4x10 for bolsters, a 4x4 scantling for a CHEAPLY MADE SLED. Fig. 1. Side view of completed sled. Fig. 3. Sled runner cut from board 2x14 Inches, the runner proper being 7 inches high. Fig 3. General shape of bolster, made from 4x10 stuff. Fig. 4. Sled tongue fitted to th 4x4 crosspiece. 'tongue, and a short 4x4 for the cross piece into which the tongue is fastened ; from the bock lot get two tires from the rear wheel of an old wagon; from. :the hardware store 12 half-inch bolts, and you will -have about all material TLPcessarv. The whole sled can be made at home, with the assistance of the blacksmith in fitting the tires to the runners, and if you are so fortunate as to have a forge you can do this yourself . Fashion, the boards for runners so that the de- ' sired shape is secured. Place them so they will rest about tne miatue oi me horse-path, slightly spread apart at the bottom. It is better to have the sled a little narrow rather than a little wide, for a wide sled is forever getting into ruts and making trouble generally. Paint thoroughly every part, and if the material is good and the sled is care fully protected when, not in use, it will last many years and be a source of great satisfaction.
