WHAr RA1LRoAps DO For FARMERs

WHAT RAILROADS DO FOR FARMERS.
TO haul 40 bushels of corn so miles on
a wagon would cost least S12 for team,
driver and expenses. A Railroad would
transport it for 81 at most Allowing an
average of 40 bushels per acre, the crop
would be worth So more per acre, or per
cent, on the 500. As the relative ad.
vantage is about the same for other crops,
it is clear that q Railroad passing through
town would add 500 an acre to the
value of the farms. A town ten miles
square contains $4,000 acres. An in
crease of 800 per acre is equal to $6,-
400, 900, or enough to build 200 miles of
Railroad, even if it cost $32 900 per mile.
But 200 miles of railroad would extend
through twenty towns ten miles square,
and cost but SIS per acre if taxed upon
the land. These figures are given merely
as an illustration. IF the farmers had
taxed themselves to build all the railroads
in the country, and given them away to
any companies that would stock and run
them, the present increased value of their
lands would have well repaid the outlay.
