INFORMATION TeR FARMERS ABOUT FLANK ROADS.
Scientific experiments have proved, that the same
power required to move one ton, in common lumber
wagon, on a level earth road, will move the same
wagon with load of four and one-third tons, on a
level wood surface. 4a as
One ton is the average practical load for a two
horse team, over tolerably level common road it
follows, then, that the Same team can, with equal
ease, draw load of four and one-thrd tons on a
properly graded plank road. Practical results have
proved this to be true, because four tons const
tute the usual load for two horse team on all plank
roads, where the inequalities of the lands surface
have been levelled to practical grades. Wagons,
however, to bear such increased weight, should be
made somewhat stronger than they are commonly
made tor ordinary use-but yet common wagon
will bear much greater weight plank, than
common road, for the that the pressure is de
rect and uniform on plank road, whereas on COM
mon road, by reason of ruts and inequalities Of
face, the wagon is subjected to trials by OBJ
lique and lateral strains. Both wagon and harness.
in constant a plank road, by means Of this
steady action and diminished friction, will last long
er than on ordinary public roads. I'll ass
Suppose farmer. some ten miles out of Detroit,
has l40 bushels of wheat to take to market, in his
wagon, over common roads in the condition in which
they generally are. He would not ordinarily carry
more than IS bushels at load-the weight of which,
at so lbs the bushel, is Q, lbs; would occu-
py so much time, that he could only make one trip a
day, and when he would have to make four trips, and
cOtiSue louI ddyS III conveying HIS l4U UuSneiS 10
market-but, if he could travel on plank road, he
could carry the whole 140 bushels on load the
weight of the whole, at 60 lbs the bushel, is four
tons and 400 lbs. How, then, does the account
stand Four trips over common road will cost as
follows: four days for himself and team, at &l so
a day, Sc 90. ssgsssss b. ,isss
One trip over plank road, in one day, 81 so.
Toll both ways at two cents per mile, 10 40 ccnts
Difference in favor of plank road, 10 - 10. Us
The first impression is very strong against being
taxed for travelling to market, and great hostility is
naturally felt against the conversion of free, into
toll road but this arises from not understanding the
advantage of plank road.
The above calculation shows that the payment of
the forty cents for toll is not, in fact, out Of pocket
but the cost Of privilege, by which 81 10 saved
Money saved is money made-and in the case above
stated the forty cents is taken out of his pockets and
% so put in the place Of it.
In the above calculation no notice is taken of the
cost Of Strengthening tho wagon, because such cost
is more than made up by saving in hlacksmth's and
other mechanics bills, for repairing damages which
continually accrue common roads and in the great
duration~of wagon and harness. Com. Bauetin.

Cortes, and Mexico TO make war But, 10 be Sc
thousand the task is not easy in looking over Mr.
Corwn's fantastic report During the first year OF the
war the expenses OF the navy amounted to o,450se2.
In 1885, the last year OF the warthe year in which the
navy had most active employmentthe navel establish
ment cost 9,4oo7a7. Now Mr. Corwin tells the country
he intends TO spend about seUen millions OF dollars on
the navy and charge the extravaganza OF the item to the
Mexican war!
So much for the two principal items in Mr. Corwn's
grand OF hundrsd and tsOemty -four millions We
have the time to 60 through the whole list The in
tegent reader will do that for himself remembering
that Mr.. Corwins argument is worth nothing until he
proves that the present expenditures OF the government
are made with due regard TO economy. Until he does
that he cannot hide himself behind the heaped-up
psndlres OF the Mexican war. When he does that,
then everything viii show for ITSELF" The Galphin
claim will show for itself, and not be included in the
general item OF excess peace expenditure" or EN-
braced by cunning argument in the Expenses chargeabe
TO the Mexican war"
Mr. Corwn does not venture make any specific charge
against the Mexican for the year ending June 80,
1851 He could notdo SO, inasmuch as all the items
thus chargeable were included in Mr.. Meedth's est
mates, and Congress had a, the last session made ap-
proprations 10 cover them. Mr. Corwin exceeds Mr.,
Meredith's estimates by nearly nine millions OF dol.
lars; yet he cannot directly charge any Of that sum TO
the war. He evades the matter by making specific
charges agans, the for the rt fiscal year. and By
devotng large portion of his report to an Investigation
Of the liabilities entailed by the war for ssven years,
hoping that the investigation may induce the public 10
attribute the results OF wing extravaganza to the conn
uing effects of democratic war.
We close our remarks on the treasury report for the
present We shall embrace early opportunity to
anime its reasoning with regard to trade and revenue
