WHAT RAILROADS DO FOR FARMERS
To haul forty bushels Of corn Fifty miles on a
wagon costs, says the AgricNlturist at least
sl2 for team, drive and expenses. A rail
road would transport it for So at most. AL.
lowing an average Of forty bushels per acre,
the crop would BE- worth SS more per acre,
at s per cent on SlO0. AS the relative ad-
vantage is about the same for other crops, it
is clear that railroad p, ssing through a
town would add 10 per cent. to the farms.
A town Ten miles square con aims 6,000
acres. An increase Of 500 per are is equal
to 400 900, or enough to build two hun
dred miles OF railroad, even if it costs Sl2,-
0O0 per mile. But two hundred miles Of
roid would extend through twenty towns,
ten miles SOU ,re, and cost but Sl0 per acre,
