To Improve the Roads. Farmers and roadmen generally are respectfully solicited to assist in keep- ing ]he roads in the best possible con- dition during the winter season by taking, whenever practicable on all main roads, the right half of the cen- tre track immediately after it is opened, thus preserving throughtout the season a uniformly solid roadbed of practically three tracks' width and making possible greater security and more rapid travel. It is also urged that where such roads are held to be too badly drifted bees be or- ganized to place them in such a con- dition as will admit of this suggestion's being thoroughly tested during the pres- ent season with a general adoption with the succeeding winter.
