Gradually the farmers in practical- t ly every community are beginning to 1 take personal interest in the matter i of making the roads they are forced I to ubo better and more fit for general c travel all the year round. t In those states where the road c work Is done by farmers and their c teams It la hard to get the labor done t when the weather conditions are best, s says a writer in Farm Progress. They i will not leave thoir fields to put in i four or five days grading and level- a Lng the public highways unless they L are practically forced to do It. i But there are signs of better times f In the matter of country road build- < ing. I drove 20 miles and back a c few weeks ago over roads that used 1 to be Impassable at that time of year s for anything except a good strong d team and a good wagon. Soft clay, soft soil and mud holes of Infinite f variety were Its old-time characterls- x tics. \ I made the trip in a very ordinary, x four-year-used motor car and drove c the round trip In about three hours, c Under the old arrangement it would i have taken all of one day and possibly part of the night r The road drags. Just the ordinary t old road dragB made from spilt logs, li made the difference. Something, and a I believe It was the necessity of mak- t iQg the rood passable for the rural t free delivery wagons, has made a big p llffercnce along the old road. We c saw several road drags along the way. d two or three of them In use. and the a roads where they were passing were r is "smooth as a turnpike. li Ctlmmor la tha tlma ? rfn aaallv I. constructive road words.

Earlier In the year the mud will prevent any real work being completed, l^ater in the full the rains will turn the fresh- * ly graded roads Into loblollies of clayey water, Erom now on until the first bqows end frcetes dirt road can be ! shaped gpd graded. I am of the opln- 11 Ion that the plan of appointing some &r.e farmer as overseer or "road boss" *nd having tho rest of the neighborhood work under this Inexperienced man Is a mistake. The time will come when all road work will be* done under tho supervision of a man who does no^fcig but plan and build and posslbl^Hmalntain roads. He will know roads under all weather conditions and can look after their creation, drainage and repair intelligently. It Is mostly a hit or miss proposition now. ' iT. Wisdom.

ROAD* BUILDING IEAVY, SHORT ROAD ROLLER Jseful Improvement May Be Constructed by Using Worn-Out Mowing Machine and Concrete. Perhaps you have a grader of some iort and road drags' but you need a leavy short rollen. They cost too nuch to buy. so mako one tbls way. ?rocure an old worn-out mowing ma:hlne, any mako, writes W. A. Dillon n Farmers' Mail and Breeze. Take iff or break off all the parts that stick ?ut past the w'heels. Smooth off a lit of hard ground; now dig a small ole just large enough for the hub. Jet the machine up on one end, put i jacket of galvanized sheet iron irouDa mo wneeis, secure u at snort Dtcrvals with small stove bolts aud nake It fit neat and straight. Now 111 the jacket with the best fine con:rCte. Tamp It well and allow It to itand until the concrete la well set. temove the jacket; keep the roller ihaded and spray It for eight or ten lays. Have the blacksmith put an Iron rame on this roller. Heavy tire Iron *111 do, using the hubs for spindles. Yhen a strong tongue Is added you fill have as good a roller as anybody; ne that will last a life time and will est but little. Save the jacket to aake more rollers with. When your road Is graded run the oiler down the center, instead of on he sides, as now. Take two disk larrows the same number of disks nd If possible the same kind. Turn ho disk on the harrows so they will hrow the dirt toward each other when ilaccd Bide by side. Now set them lose together side by side in the mldII* of the road to be worked. Take , light log chain and fasten the harow? together. Put a team on each larrow and drive down the road to ie worked. Turn around; let out the :hain a couple of feet; go hack. Reicat the operation a number of times, "ou would be surprised how much llrt tho disk harrow will cut up. nd how much It will move toward ho center. Finish with drag or grader. 'hen roll the center and yon will have 1 good road at small cost. We have organized a country club 1 iere and given each member a piece f road to drag, near his home. We lected a drag boss so when It Is just 1 Ight to drag the boss calls all the J nembers and In about two hours we ' lave all the roads In the district ragged. We have had very bad i-eathar ever since organizing, but the ilan appears to work well I0AD SCRAPER EASILY MADE , 'wo-lnch Planking, 8eourely Bolted c Together, Will Furnish Most Use- t ful Farm Implsment. t There are many John upon the high- 1 rays and farms that require a few ^ ours' use of a scraper, yet are not 1m- 1 ortant enough to require the purhase of one.

Grapefruit and Cocoanuta Offer Blf Opportunities for Investment, Although Sugar and Tobao?o Still Lead aa Exports. Washington. D.%C.?The coffee raised n our Island possession, Porto Rico, a In great demand abroad ami the forilgn market places It at Uie top or the wice list of coffees from all over the rarltf, according to experts at the Jnlted States department of agrlculore's Porto Rican experiment station, ffowerer, the people of the United States have developed a taste for a llfferent kind of coffee, and the proftrence of a great many jaeople will lava to be changed In ordor to obtain i larger market for Porto Rican cof'ee in this country. The cost of ihanglng the acquired taste of the American seems too great to Justify he attempt so long as such excellent >ricee are obtained elsewhere for the >roduct During the past year, aays the newy-lssued anhual report of the departnent's station In Porto Rico, the ralue of tbo exports of coffee amountid to a great deal more than they ?V6T have since the American occulatlon. Better cWtlvntlon and higher | trices have enabled the coffee lndusry to show great progress, and plantirs are now following better precises In the selection of their seed for landing. The department's station Is ntroduclng the. so-called "Jnva" and tther coffees which are yielding beter than native coffee and giving a ilgher percentage of large and unlofm grains. The coffee Is grown for llstrlbutlon to planters on the Island ind has been resulting In greater ields as well as In better prices for he planters. Of the coffee exported during the tast year, $8,378,346 worth went to orcign countries, while only $132,970 korth went to the United States. Alhough today there exists a benefit of arlff, the coffee is still following the >ld lines of trade established by tariff aws during the Spanish regime. It s a marked indication of the truth u?i irnue eouiunpneu upon preierence if t&sta for a certain product is a noet difficult one to change. Howver, associations and Individuals are till spiring to extend the market and o gain, even a higher reputation for he coffee of Porto Rico. The grapefruit Industry which started from nothing ten years ago is now hrlvlng In Porto Rico and promises ;ood returns ,t? the man with perseerance, Industry, and personal super' dslon. Porto Rico Is safe from frost* hat threaten the Industry on the nainland and at the open door of the >est market In the world?New York ind the eastern seaboard. The graperult Industry presents the highest ype of tntenslve^farmlng. and Is sure o Increase* to a much greater extent n Porto Rico as the trees which are already planted come Into bearing. The value of the exports of graperutt last year ($726,687) was egcceded >y the exports of two othet- fresh-fruit ndustrles which have been estabished for a much greater period In he island. Oranges were exported to he value of $740,010, and pineapples o the value of $1,142,007; $151,681 forth of canned pineapples was also xported. There Is considerable planting of !ecoanuta In Porto Rico and there ire extensive areas yet where these rees may be profitably set out. A ocoanut grove, properly cared for, del da a sure aDd steady Income. Betcr cultivation, the growing of vegetailcs among the trees, thfe utilization if seaweed and other manures, yield ixcellent returns over cost. The value cf exports of cocoanuts or the past year amounted to $352,190. Besides being Interested In co:oanuts, the department's agricultural tatlon has a number of other nuttearing trees on trial, both edible and ill-bearing, and It Is hoped that some i-fll nrnc* nrofltfthln fnp cnltlnMnn hero. Although the other agricultural iroducta show such great promise, ing&r and tobacco still continue to ead all others by a big margin. The ixporte of sugar during the last year tad a total value of 127,226,905, while ho value of the tobacco exports were, nanufactured, t5.821.030; unmanufacured. 13.188.227. Planters are now Introducing ln> iroved varieties of cane, whllo the :ultlvatton and fertilization of the :rop has been vastly Improved. On he other hand, lands not well suited o the crop have been planted and there have been continuously planted o cane, so that yields have been relured to a minimum. Many of these ands will now go out of cultivation. Porto Rlcan tobacoo, aa well as su;ar, Is being Improved In quality, rhls Improvement Is resulting In Its Indlng a larger market and increaa* ng prices.

When the time cornea to grade the foad. put a plow team at work the day before, and go down aa deep as you can, turning over the breaking of the previous year. Some folks think that the grader was made to plow with, but 1 never could figure It that way, writes S. R. Crawley In Farm Stock and Farm. Then start moving the earth over the center of the grade. Set the grader blade at a reasonably sharp slant, and begin on the Inside of the plowing. Carry your first load well up the center of tho new grade from either side before you bite ln(o ? 1 " I ft r Good Road Pressor. any more. Then take another load and * move It In after the same fashion. ; and so on until yon have come to the outside of the new ditch. In the f meantime have one man along with a crowbar to dig atone and & plow team . to turn loose on the ditches as soon aa the first plowing has been carried , out. In other words, don't try to plow with the grader. Not until you have raised the grado to what you ( want it, ana are clearing out ma ditches. Then scrape them down to ( & smooth surface, and carry the scrapings In. Meanwhile a harrow and a packer can be used to good ad- ( vantage on the grade oompactlng the , soli. { And after the whole Job is completed. and you have a well-rounded road- ' way built, drive back and forth with 4 a wagon until you have made a path that others will follow. TREES ALONG COUNTRY ROADS ' Not Only Useful cs Shade to Stock In Fields, but Add Greatly to Beauty of Thoroughfares. At a recent farmers' Institute meeting the planting of trees along the country roads was advocated. It Is 1 a plan worthy of consideration everywhere. Trees beside country highways are not of less value and Importance than along the Btreets of a . city. They are not only useful as ? shade to the stock In the fields and [ to thoee who travel along the roads, _ but they add greatly to the beauty of " the thoroughfares and are a distinct asset to tho dinners by Increasing the attractiveness of their land, says I an Illinois writer In Farmer's Re- ^ view. Tho theory of the speaker was that Z the trees should be planted Inside of the road boundaries and not on the farm land, and that the planting should bo done as a part of the road Improvement at public expense or by local organizations out of a common fund. g The work would hsvn to Ka Anna with system, of course, and provlhJon made f for the care of the trees once they were planted, but this system could ] easily bo worked out Ob;ectlon might be raised In some quartern that shaded roads would not dry oyt easily after rains and would, therefore, be muddy at Inconvenient times, but the proper training and trimming of the trees would remedy this difficulty. Every one, even the fanner with- out a shade tree on his premises, ad- J mite the attraction of a shaded road on a hot summer day. Every traveler on such a day greets a bit of woods or an overhanging orchard as an oasis In a desert land and wishes that It stretches on for miles. The occasional land owner who has lined his side of the road with ahade trees?or even with fruit trees?is regarded by the 1 traveler as a good Samaritan and blessings go out to him. The time will como, perhaps, when trees along 1 the country roads are desirable and 4 essential and their absence will show J lack of proper enterprise In the com- j munlty. < Old-Fashioned Ideas. ? Of course, there were, and still are J In Isolated localities, persons who c cling to the bad roads of their grand- 4 fathers, and resist any attempt to * make improvements. These are those ^ who also regret the passing of the a spinning wheel, and the domestic j weaving loom, with which the women used to make the cloth for clothing the family.
