RAIL ROADS.

1t will be recollected that we some time since
published an interesting article, purpqrting to
be a dialogue between Worcester County
Farmer and the Rail Road The article was
copied into other papers, and we believe extern
sively read. A friend of ours has handed US
the following article, which was prepared on
reading that dialogue, though not then offered
for publication. 1t is from the pen of well
known practical and scientific man, who, prob
ably, has devoted as much time and attention to
the subject of railroads as any person in the
State. Our friend, in offering it for publica-
ton, says" the character of the writer, the
importance of the subject, and the unexpected
opposition which has been shown by few citi-
zens of this county to the project of railroad,
induces us to recommend to the farmers of
plain, matter of fact arguments, in favor of an
enterprise of such vital importance to their
prosperity and success"
FOR THE MASSACHUSETTS SPY.
Mr. Editor,-I was much pleased with the
Dialogue between Worcester County Farmer
and the Rail Road, which lately appeared in
your paper. 1t has induced me to wish to ad-
dress a few brief remarks to the farmers of that
| county. If you think them worthy place in
your paper, should hope you might spare
corner of your paper to communicate them
1t is asked in the dialogue, how farmers in
the County of Worcester are to be benefited
by railroad? This is very proper question
to ask, and ought to be satisfactorily answered,
before they called upon to aid or counte-
nance such work.
In the first place, farmer is as much bene-
flied by the necessary facilities for carrying on
his farm, as manufacturer, merchant, or me-
chanic is in carrying on his business. His farm
must be fenced, it must be stocked, he must
have suitable implements of husbandry, suita-
BILE help to perform the necessary labor, and
market, or he can make little Roadway in farm.
ing. If he is deficient in any of these, he will
fall short in his crops, or in his income, in pro-
portion to such deficiency. The result of all
his exertions and labor depend upon the net
proceeds of his products in the market. II de-
ponds little less upon the value of his products,
than upon the cost of getting them to market,
in relation to the net proceeds of his labor. This
is the principal cause why lands near market
are worth more than those farther off 1t is
not because they can get greater price, but
because they can get their products to market
AT less cost. If il costs the distant farmer 90
or on per cent. more to get his products to mar
ket than the farmer near by il is the same thing
to MN az If it cost him 20 or so per cent more
to raise ms produce. Now, it is to be presumed
that the cost OF growing the various products of
a farm IS nearly equal in the various sections of
country, except some shades of difference on
different qualities of soil, and this difference
may exist on different parts of the same farm.
Thence it follows that if all sections of country
had equal facilities to carry their produce to
