What You Should Take
During The New Year.
Take The News
Take comfort If you can.
Take things easy within rea
son. Take the girl you love to be
your wife.
Take care of your health. It
is the most valuable thing you
have.
Tka a hint when it is intended
for you. Don't wait to be Knock
ed do ?n. Take flattery as an in
suit, and an honest compliment
as something to be grateful for.
Take pains to be faithful and
conscientious in business. It
will bring you success.
Take offense only at things
worth being offended at It is a
sure evidence of a small mind to
notice trifles.
Take hold of any work that
comes to your band rather than
be idle. Luck always waits upon
tho busy man.
Take time to be polite and kind
tlways. Rudeness never pays,
the poor may think so, but he is
wrong.
Take trouble like a man. Don't
go whining about when it comes,
butshutyour mouth and stand
up under it resolutely.
Take a t rip now and then, and
try to see something outside of
tne town you live in. Travel 19
one of the greatest educators.
Take fains to do your work
well. The conscientious worker
is the one who gets to the front
and the one that never needs be
idle.
Take care that you make this
day a model for all the days to
come and then copy after it
Live this day so that it will bring
you no regrets.
Take time, young man, to go
out with your sister! If she is a
good girl she is much more de
sirable company for you than
that other girl who flirts with
you so desperately. "" ' ;
Take the sunshine into your
life as something to be grateful
for; don't darken it with shadows
of your own making. Trouble
will come soon enough without
yt u' coining it
Take your wife and children

DRAGGING ROADS IN SPRING
Operation! Should Begin Just 8oen
as the Frost Start to Coma
Out of the Ground.
Nothing odds more Immediate value
to our farm land than accessibility to
markets, ouch connecting link between
the farm and market being a good
road. The early dragging of oar dirt
roads Is certululy to be commended.
Just as soon as the frost begins to
come out of the ground, the farmer
should commence dragging.
This Is not a laborious job, a good
team can put the road between him
and the first crossing toward town,
even If half a mile away, In good con
dltlon In a half day, and he will save
many times the cost of such labor or
expense during the year. Besides the
additional value It adds to the farm,
there Is that personal pride that we all
owe to every community, and especial
ly to ourselves.
GRADING AND ROLLING ROADS
Steel Device Invented to Correct Cer
tain Degree Fault of Drags on
Dry Highways.
Split logs and drags and commer
cially manufactured drags Involving
the basic principle of Mr. D. Ward
King's simple Fpllt-log drag, have
done much for the dirt roads of the
nation, and these make up the bulk
of the mileage of the country ronds of
this nation. The originator of this
type of drag advocated their use while
the road wns still muddy, to "puddle"
the dirt of the road's surface and so
make It more waterproof as well as to
smooth the surface of the road. This
Is the best time to use them, for then
they accomplish these two tasks so
Important to the making of a good
dirt road. But for some reason or oth
er the bulk of users of road drags per

face of the road has become dry and
rough after a rain, simply to smooth
It up.
When used In this way, all the drags
of this type have one bpslc :tiit ; they

ter of the rood. If the weather con
tinues dry And hot, this soon dries
and pulverizes Into dust, to be blown
about with the shifting winds. If It
rains, this loose dirt quickly absorbs
a large amount of water and turns
Into mud much quicker than It would
have been if It had been packed Ann
and hard. Instead of being loose and
porous. Ilerewlth Is shown a drawing
of a steel drag of this same kind
which Is designed t6 correct to a cer
tain degree at least this fault of drags
when used on dry ground. It Is de
signed to pack more or less firmly

Just back of the "delivery" end of

roller for the purpose of further pul

dirt One lever controls the cutting or

at whatever angle Is desired, to regu

done by thorn. Another lever regu
lates the height at which the rollers
may be set, and so the amount of

AUT0IST LEARNED TO GROAN
Sight of Road Grader In Offing Fills
. His Heart With Dismay Drag
la Cause of Smiles.
Speaking of grading operations, the
autotst has learned to groan when he
sees a road grader, manned by a half
dozen willing men, show up In the
oiling. He knows that the presence of
the grader forecasts bad roads for
weeks to come sod, loose dirt, ruts
and bumps, and when the rain comes,
with little prospect of quick drying of
the sodden mass. But he smiles when
he sees a road drag, for he knows that
means Immediate Improvement of the
road and permanent benefit.
Good Roads,
The value of farming land depends
very largely on the distance from a
market A good road has the effect
of shortening the time required for
carrying a load of produce to market,
which is practically the same thing as
shortening the distance.

Some of the domestic animals are

GREATEST WASTE OF MONEYS
Proper Maintenance of Publlo Roads
Is More Important Than Building
-Lax Methods Used.
(By B. R. HOUSE, Colorado Agricultural
College, Fort Collins, Colo.)
The greatest waste of public
moneys thut Is being committed today
is In surfacing our country roads and
then appnrently abandoning the same.
No county that engages in real road
building can afford to dismiss Its
workmen when the road has been con
structed. It rarely ever happens that the Ini
tial work on the roud Is done wisely,
Road In National Estea Park.
but there are a multitude of little
things thut Inter must be added or
repaired In order that the roud tuny
be in good condition. Huts and chuck
holes are sure to form and these must
be filled or tho road soon goes to
pieces. These things should be
plmiuod fur mid done qulcl.ly If the
Improved road is tt do tho fullest
f-ervlco, anil this Is the one thing thut
it seems to me some of our county
commissioners are neglecting. They
become so Imbued with the idea of
building good roads that they fall to
prepare for the maintenance of road
already constructed.
NEGLECT SEEN ALONG ROADS
Many Farmers Fail to Clean Up Strip
of Land by Side- of Road Keep
It Seeded to Grass. '
It Is surprising how many folk hove
not gotten around to slicking up the
strip of land by the side of the road
that belougs to them.
That Is a part of their domain
clear to the center of the highway,
and it Is their right, as well as their
duty, to put It in the finest shape pos
sible. It makes the farm look so much bet
ter to clear out the old hedgerow and
seed It down to grass.
IMPROVED ROAD ADDS VALUE
Good Highways Art Wise Investment,
As They Bring Farmer Into Closer
Touch With World.
The department of agriculture Is au
thority for the statement that road im
provement in Dallas county, Alabama,
has added $3 an acre to the value of
lands within hulf a mile of the im
proved road. - ...
Good roads are a wise Investment
They bring the farmer Into closer
touch with the world, increasing his
access to markets and his opportunity
for joy of living,. as well as adding
value to his farm.

More Than 250 Per Cent In
