1S5 barrels the previous week, is, $50 bar
rels for the corresponding time in 1891. and
1885 barrels in $780, Since last week
three mills, representing $500 barrels daily
capacity. have dropped out of the active

week more will be stopped. It is the pres

they prefer to reduce their production
temporarily and repair their mills for the
new crop. Eighteen mills were running
to-day, grinding at the rate of about 3d.
600 barrels per twenty four hours
and for week past the mills have not sold
an amount equal to their. output. Some
millers have not made up their minds just

This would not alone help the rural dis
trlcts, but the whole country, for that which
lessons the cost of transporting an article
must lessen the price to the consumer. If
one could haul his produce for less money
and with smaller number of horses, he
would feel more encouraged to try to COM
pete with foreign agriculture.
III has been clearly proved that while it
takes forty-six pounds of force to draw
twenty.one hundred-weight on Telford
road, it takes one hundred forty-seven
pounds, or more than three times as much
power, to haul the same load on a good
gravel road Think of it-three times as
much power as is necessary! Then think
how many dollars are thrown away every
year in attempting to repair our roads
You cannot have a good road unless Won
start with good one.
People might complain of high taxes, but
1t IS perfectly right for the next generation
to help pay them If we only make roads
that will be of any benefit to them, and in
reality they would not be higher to any per-
ceptible degree. The improvement. would
more than repay the small increase, for
there would be an increase in the rapidity
OF transportation and decrease in expense
The farmers would save every year more
than the cost of the road. In New JERSEY
the value of lands bordering the new roads
has been greatly increased and under the
same conditions the result would be the
same throughout the country. There would
be no three months delay and blockade and
the consequent losses owing to the mud in
springtime. The people would be more
social, would have better chance for edu.
cation and for all those things which tend
to make ones life better worth living.
Let either the state or national govern
ment take the matter in hand and let it EN-.
ploy capable engineers instead of tyros in
the work, make favorable laws and see
that they are executed. All this can be ac-
pn nj ilh cd th. far all 81.
terested will ask for it, If this shall be done.
the day is not for distant when we shall see
system of road-making and repairing in
operation in the United States that will not
only compare favorably but even excel
that of our neighbors across the water.
