ROADS MUST BE ROADS.
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.

the runner proper being 7 inches high.

from 4x10 stuff. Fig. 4. Sled tongue fitted

'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. The illustrations make the
construction plain. American. Agri
