A Good Article, by n Marti. a Comity Sii'i- Kor. ,hlITOK E.VrKKi'KISK: i wish lo Live a few practical hit as on road uu.it.ding to the superviors of th stale. Ciood roads are tiie most important things in any state, and t!i first thing lo be considered i"r it is the basis is the grading. Never plow ui the center of the r.md. leave eight or twelve feet in lit renter. This is firmer than you can make it, and is a benefit jor unuer-il'ainage. Where it is possible hav the grade slope to the center of the ditch; have no juare banks next to the road where it can be avoided; build your grade one foot higher than enough. A grade wide enough for two tracks, eighteen leet, make a better road than one forty feet wide. The eighteen foot grade should have one gravel track and one dirt. You can grade two miles of the two track road and keep it in better condition than" you can one mile of the forty foot grade at the fame expense. The grading of a road should be done as early as possible, say in March, and not later than April it will pack much quicker while the earth is damp, and there will be less dust. No eravei eh uld go on a road until it is thoroughly drained and graded, for in time it will be lost by making a grade. Course THE SIGN OF ! 600D TAIlORINfl 1 County Court New.

It's really a lesson in good clothes buying to see this great collection of tailoring novelties. Prloam tew and tlafo- ntoed. Coll rt. P. M. Kirklnnd gravel should be used first on new grade, and this should be packed well with a roller and then given a coat of fine gravel. Then you will have a road bed for ages. To get the most benefit of your l i . ......, gravel, wnere it costs $l.oU per yara, alter your grade is finished, use an average tread wagon, drive cerreotly where you want the track to be, then take a good sized plow and run two furrows eight inches aeep, plowing out the wagon track and throwina the dirt to the center rill the furrows with gravel. One yard will go as far as three spread in the old way. Gravel never should be spread any wider than the tread of the wagon, where you only want one track. The travel will soon scatter it wide enough. Road builders ought to bear in mind not to gravel permanently hills or hollows, tor sooner o: later the bills will be graded down and the hollows tilled up. and the work will be lost. In regard to culverts and small bridges, they should be put on a level with the surface of the road. It it would cost $3 to build a wooden culvert and $15 to build a stone one. the stone would be th6 cheapest in. the end. About dirt roads, where gravel or crushed rock is not to be bad 'grading and drainage is the main thing, and while the grading is being done a six or eisrhi-ton roller should be taken over th center of the grai as often as the grader goes. The road should have as much attention in the fall as in the spring. It should be gone over after the first rains and be rounded up with the grader, and the holes filled up and the gravel put back in the center. Clean out your ditches and cul verts, then you will get some bene fit of your spring work. Two loads of gravel put on in the fall is worth more than three put on m the spring. I imagine some one will say "any fool ought to know this much," but show me the man who his backbone and brains enough to put these" few thoughts into practice. B. F. If Ar.t. Card of Thanks.
