Roads.

In no country save and except Turkey
and Russia are the roads in a more barbar
ons state than in ours. In this country that
is rich in having fine lands, magnificent
climate, and all that makes county de.
sirable, we are or seem to ba utterly disre.
gardful of this one thing that is 80 very i'm
portant, and Is go much neglected. In the
hill country of Germany it is said that a
yoke of mich COWS can with ease draw a
heavier load than span OF our bsst horses
can in Virginia, and why is it? Simply be-
cause the roads are attended to there and
neglected here. Our farmers can not afford
to waste their substance in hauling their
crops at the tremendous cost that is now
necessary. With good roads our teams
could with ease pull twice what they can
with bad ones, and the wear and tear, both
on team and wagon, would not compare
with the present loss.
One great source of this trouble is that
our roads are badly located to begin with.
1t is done with no reference to grades or
the character of the land through which
they are to pass. We should do this work
upon scientific principles, and if necessary
let this work be done by competent en-
gineer and We will find that it will be money
we'll spent. The theory that seems to pre-
vail that every man is competent road
builder is fallacious iu the extreme, and the
sooner this false theory Is exploded and
relegated to the shades of the past the bet
ter it will be for US.
No, we must have improvement in this
line, aud must have it at once. Our farmers
cannot afford to 60 on killing their teams
and breaking up their wagons, the profits
on their produce will not justify such losses,
and we call upon our coming legislators to
think seriously on this important subject
and to devise some plan or system Of laws
that will accomplish tho desired end.-

THE GREENBRIER CREAMERY. - This
Company has established an enviable repu-
tation for its products. We understand
that its butter is in great demand, and that
it has no trouble In placing its output-al-
ways having orders in excess Of the supply.
The prices obts ined are invariably few
cents in advance of the highest market
quotstions. La view of these facts it has
determined to give the farmers better
prices for milk. At recent meeting of
the Board of Directors the following was
agreed to -
"On consideration of the matter of the
price to be paid for milk during the month
of October it is ordered that we pay s.
cents per 100 pounds, at the test of 81 as
the standard, and as an inducement to the
patrons of the Creamery we guarantee that
the price for the following year shall not
fall below 65 cents per hundred for any
month, and we will do as much better as
we can" This Company has labored long
and diligently to place their enterprise
upon firm foundation, and through their
efforts Greenbrier county bids fair TO be
come as renowned for flue, firm. yellow
butter as for tender beef, juicy mutton and
pretty girls.-Greenbrier wv. Vs.) Inde.

Country Roads,


Horset1esh, vehicles, time, temper aud
profanity will soon be wasted to an ext ent
impossible to estimate over the bottomless
quagmires yclept country roads, which seem
to have been devised for the express pur-
pose of prohibiting inter communication bs.
tween communities and neighbors.
The gulf which interposed between Lag
arus and Dives was scarce more impossible
than the yawning chsams which require four
horses and day to do the work of one horse
and an hour, but there seems to be no ef-
fort to span the abyss save by words, and
they are too airy, too easily broken to bear
the strain.
Farmers complain of taxes which they
can scarcely pay, of prohibtory tariffs
which burden the consumer, without be ing
allowed to benefit the real producer, but all
these taxes heaped up tenfold are lighter
burden by far than the self-imposed taxa
tion of untraversable roads which impede
transportation, kill horses, ruin vehicles and
keep out capital and immigration.
On this subject Mr.. Isaac Potter CHAIR
man of the committee on highway improve
ments appointed by the League of American
W heelmen to prepare a pamphlet on the
subject) says in his Gospel of Good Roads. !"
The greatest remedy for the curse Of un-
profitable farming lies in the farmers hands.
The common road, he points out, is part of
the machinery of agriculture, as much so as
the farm wagon; and any improvements in
the roads reduce the cost Of getting farm
products to market, and TINS save to the
farmer large part of the value of these
products.
"a bad road is an expensive thug. To
maintain the 16, 900, 900 horses of this coun-
try-the figures are those of the census of
1S90-costs s., 900. 900 day; 50 that every
day horse stands idle when he might work
is waste to be checked. Furthermore,
every unnecessary horse is waste of ma
terial; and Mr.. Potter estimates that 2, 000,-
900 horses not absolutely necessary are used
on American farms; a needless expenditure
of $500, 900 day, exclusive of the original
cost of the horses Ga the smooth surface
of a macadam road one horse will haul
twice the load that the same horse could
haul on the best dirt road, and from five to
ten times az much as can be hauled by
single horse when the dirt road is covered
with soft mud and ruts."
These few figures will afford some of our
readers food for thought and trusting that
they will chew the cud of reflection, we
will soon furnish them with some more data
from the same source.
