the drug oat oa the country road after
a rain and start In to haul the drag
over the road' ut an angle of forty:flve
degrees, moving the dirt from the side
gutters to the center of the road.
If you do this work yourself you
will learn more about how to make
country eartti roads better In two
hours than anybody could tell you In
print in fourteen weeks.
The second thing Is: Study the needs
of the little stretch of road upon
which you actually do your work.
Muke that stretch of road a model of
a good roadway In every particular.
See to It that every Individual who
drives over your road becomes a talking
advertisement for highwuy improvement.
If you must bl&st out
rock to afford good drainage for the
side gutters along your road why blast
them out. Don't wait to talk about It.
Earth and water-spell mud. and a
muddy road is not a good road, and j
you cannot get rid of water until the ;
water has the right slope of a drain- j
age channel to carry It off.
Third.?If-yon will let no obstacle!

sublimely on. plugging ahead as the i
old tortoise did In its race with the
hare, which slept by the wayside think- J
lng because of Its fleet ness it could
overcome the slow going tortoise; if
you make the improvement of country ;

OILING ROADS KILLS FLIES.
Massachusetts Man Says Tarvia Do- |
stroys the Egg? and Larvae.
A Lenox (Mass.) entomologist asserts
that the absence of flies along oiled
highways is doe to the destruction of
the eggs and larvae by the application
of tarvia aDd the by products of oils
which are being used to prevent dust. I
After conducting a series of expert
mcnts the Lenox mau has found that
there is almost a total absence of the
stable or biting fly.
The' Lenox experimenter says that
tarvia has practically killed the breeding
places of the stable fly and that
there are fewer bouseflles.
Since It has been established That
typhoid germs are carried by flies,
also Asiatic cholera, and that there is
strong evidence that the fly Is also the
carrier of tuberculosis and other diseases,
the discovery tbat oiling highways
lessens the common fly and almost
entirely exterminates the stable
fly appears to be of the hlghoaf Isv
portsDce.
