Old plank toll roads of the pioneer Midwest remembered
The piece recalls plank toll roads once common across Indiana, Wisconsin, and Michigan. A Wisconsin example spanned forty miles from LaCrosse to Sheboygan, built of three inch white oak planks laid on stringers. Roads deteriorated quickly, yet tolls funded their builders. Corduroy roads of round logs were also used, supposedly curing rheumatism and dyspepsia.

Path to Agricultural Education for a Society Youth
A Michigan youth with a physical infirmity should begin with bulletins from the Washington and state agricultural departments, enroll in a correspondence course such as the New York Agricultural College, and read top agricultural journals. He should seek a year of practical work with a successful farmer to blend science and practice, then focus studies on a chosen special line like poultry fruit or dairying for best results.
