IMPORTANT FOR FARMERS ABOUT
PLANK ROADS

Scientific experiments have proved, that the
: same power required to move one ton, III a
common lumber wagon, on a level earth road.
will move the same wagon with a load OF four
aud one-third tons, an level wood surface.
One ton is the average practical load tor
two horse team, over tolcrby level common
road; it follows, then, that the same team can,
with equal ease, draw load of four and one
tl,i.d tons on properly graded plank road
Practical results have proved this to be true,
because foar tons now constitute the usual load
for a two horse team on all plank roads. where
the inequalities of the lands surface have been
leveled to practical grades. Wagons, however,
to bear such increased weight, should be made
somewhat stronger than they are commonly
made for ordinary use-but yet common wag-
OH will bear 8 much greater weight on plank,
than on common road, for the reaaon that
the pressure is direct and uniform on plank
road, whereas on a common road, by reason OF
ruts and inequalities of surface, the wagon is
subjected to severe trials by oblique and lateral
strains. Both wagon and harness, in constant
con plank road, by means of this steady
action and diminished friction, will last longer
than on ordinary public roads.
Suppose farmer, living some ten miles out
Of Detroit, has 40 bushels of wheat to take
to market, in. his wagon, over common roads in
the condition in which they generally are. tie
would not ordinarily carry more than 35 bush.
els at load tile weight of which, at 90 lbs.
the bushel, is 2,l00 lbs; one would occaPy so
much time, that he could only make one trip a
day, and then he would have to make four trips,
and consume four DAYS in conveying his l4O
bushels to market but, if he could travel on
plank road, he could carry the whole l4O bush.
J: els at one load; the weight of the whole, at To
lbs the bushels, is four tons and 500 lbs How
then, does the account stand! Four trips over
a common road will cost as follows: four days
for himself and team, at 81 so day, Sc 90.
s One trip over plank road, in one day is
el SO; toll both ways at two cents per mile,
IS 81 90; Difference in favor of plank road is
$4 10. The first impression is very strong
asainst being taxed for travelling to market, and
great hostility is naturally felt against the con.
version OF d free, in to toroad; but this arises
from not understanding the advantages OF a
plank road.
!. q The above calculation shows that the pay.
ent of the forty cents for toll is not, in fact,
tax, out of pocse but the cost .ofa privilege by
which 81 10 ARC saved, Money ssyedis money
made and in the case above stated, the Farmer
takes forty cents out Of his pocket, and puts
! $4 so in theplace oft.
In the above calcnlatian, no notice is taken
Of the cost Of strengthening the wagon, because
such COSTS more than made up by saving in
blachsniths, and, other mechanics bills. for re-
pairing damages which continually accrue OIL
coannon roses, and in the greater duration OF
wagon and harness. Com. Bulletin.
