information for Farmers on Plank

| Information for Farmers on Plank
| Roads
| fScientifc experiments have proved that
the same power required TO move one ton,
10 conman lumber wagon on level
earth road, will move the same Wagon
| with load of4 and 1-3 ton, on a level
| wood surface.
One ton is the average practical load
for two horse team over tolersbly lev.
| ell common road, il follows then that the
same team can with equal ease draw a
load of A and la tons on a properly graded
plank road. Practical results have prov
stitute tho usual load for two horse
teau on all plank roads, where the inc.
qualities of the lands surface have been
Ieveled TO practical grades. Wagons.
however, TO bear such increased weight,
should be made somewhat stronger than
the, are commonly made for ord mary use
but yet common wac on wI,l bear mt CHI
greater weight on plank road than on a
common road, for the reason that the press
sure is direct and uniform on plank
road by means of this steady action and
diminished friction will last longer than
on ordinaay public roads.
Suppose farmer livtng some ten miles
out OF Detroit has l40 bushels. Of whea.
to take to market, in his wagon over
common roads in the condition in which
they generally are. He would not ordi
nsrily carry more than 35 bushels at a
load the weig.t OF which at 60 lbs the
bnshel is 2 100 lbs--on load would occupy
SO mtlch time that he con only make one
trip day and then he would have to max e
four trips and consume four days in con
We, ing his l40 bnshals to market, bnt~if
lie should travel on plank road he could
carry the whole l4e bushels at one load--
the weight of the whole al 30 lbs per
hn.hel is tons and 400 lbs. How then
does the account stand! A trips over a
common road viii cos, as follows:
DAYS for himself and team at S 50 a
day, Sc 90.
One trip over plank road. in ore day
is. $3.50.
Toll both ways at 2 Gets per mile, is 40
Sl 90
Difference in favor Of plank road, IS
S4 10.
The first impression is very strong
against being taxed for travelling to mar
ket and great hostility is naturally fell
against the conversion OF free into a toll
road, but this arises from not understand,
ing he advantages of Plank Road,
The above calculation shows that the
paymen, Of tie 40 cents for toll is no' in
fact tax oui of p cket but the cost of
privilege ny which 81 10 are saved. Mon.
ey saved. is money made--and in the case
above stated. the farmer takes 40 cents
uut Of his pocket. and puts 81 10 in the
place Of it.
In the above calculation no notice is
taken of The cost of Strengthening the
wagon because such cost is more than
made up by the saving in blacksmi|h's and
uther me chanic's bills for repairing dana.
ges which continually accrue on cummou
roads and in the greatest duration OF wag
on and harness.

Take your Famiir with you to the Gold
Regions.


The irooY OF the following extract from
the New York Sunday Times is forcible
1t is urged by unrefectlug persons that
no emgrant to California ought to take
his family with him, especially il he goes
by the way of the Plains aud the Rock,
Mountains. We differ in toto from these
persons. Captain Morrison in his .Cau
tion to Emigrants.'s says that he has know u
two sons TO quarrel for slice of their ia
ther on / be route. This lanentaole scar
city of provisions shows the advantage oi
travelling with a family in those regions
Mountaineering their difficulty over the
parental outlet, they reached the selile
ment in an emaciated condition. Now
il 10 evideat that il Two sons could sub
sIst on the body of parent during the
iourpey. n husbsud aud a father, with a
wife and half a dozen responsibilities
would be amply provisionea for the tramp
Beginning with the baby ~ arms, as lac
naturally would, that being the tender
es, of the lot, he would probably not es,
up his whole wife between the Arkansas
and the Sacramento. Certainly the pro.
priety of taking your family with you il
you 60 BY that route, cannot be too strong
ly enforced.

DEAR EDlToRs:-The greatest excitement
here, that see is about the California gold
digglns. To-day went down to the wharf to
see what could see: and nearly every boat
there was loaded or at least partially SO, with
emlgrants tor California. Wagons, Mules.
Oxen and men were aboard, bound for that
country. You cannot form an idea oil the vast
crowds that are rushing for the golden country
to enrich themselves; and how many will find
themselves disappointed is yet TO be told.
Taking the crowd generally that is moving
onward to that region, and believe a more
enterprIslng and Intelligent, people never emf
grated. THIS no doubt will make the trip
peasant one; and although many difficulties
may cross the path of this enterprise, yet with
such spirits as are gong, every barrier how.
sver great will be easily removed and appear
but small.
CHOLERA.-lt is reported about that this
most dlreful disease prevails on the river, to
some extent, and that some cases exist in this
place. How true the story is cannot say, as
seen or heard nothing of it since got in
10 the City. Ii there are any cases of it here
it is kept very quiet.
We intend taking boat tomorrow or next
day Tor ST. Louis, st. Joseph, Independence
or some other point. All in tolerable good
health at present, and hope for perfect health
Your friend, g. T. w.
P. s. will write to you every convenient
opportunity, and inform you of our progress.
