When we get on them it keeps us guessing what the outcome will be. Brother farmers let us talk pike again. It is an evident fact that farmers who are forced out to the city on important business will without exagerating the fact at all pull more flesh off their horses in traveling over such roads and back home in on xlay than they would by hauling gravel on the roads for a week. Let us consider these* things in such.a way th it we can apply our expa'ience and see if we can't determine away to better our public highways, our teams and ourselves. It is time that we sacrifice some of our fall work for one year and do enough good to our roads that will double our pay for neglecting our farm work. We trust that our well to do farmers will manage to do a great deal towards improving our roads this coming fall.
