under such favorable conditions, trans
portation by wagon costa 10 to Is cents per

Is in such condition that not more than 1000

quently the wagon itSelf is all that the team
can drag through the mud. Allowance
being made for small loads when the con-
dition OF the dirt highway does not admit
OF full loads being hauled. and is it not plain
that 20 cents per ton per mile is not too high
an estimate OF the average cost of wagon
transportation! But it will certainly be safe
70 say that the average cost is only Is cents
per t n per mile, compared to about cent
by rail and one-tenth of a cent hv water.
very large part of our agricultural
produces, grains as well as msats-perhsps
more than one-half OF our perishable vege-
tables, small fruits, poultry. and dairy pro-
ducts-is brought TO the consumer solely by
wagon. The larger part Of the food CON
sumption of man and beast ir our villages,
towns and smaller cities is brought by
wagon. without the Intervention of the rail-
way, from the farm to the consumer. IL
would appear that of the farm products
transported by horse power, scarcely one
half is transported by rail or water; while
practically elllfarm products transported by
horse also. Thes being true, is it not true
that wagon transportation of our farm pro-
ducts costs twice as much as the remand or
of their transportation to the consumeri
The great magnitude and Importance of
wagon transportation is not generally com
pretended. Farmers have not realized that
TO get farm products to railway or vessel
costs more than all their after transported
ton, and hence are often indifferent to the
means OF wagon transportation, being con-
tent with miserable highways Every effort
has been made to promote railroads at the
expense of wagon roads. And though econ
omies will still further reduce freight rate
by rail OF water, how much greater is the
margin for savings in wagon transporta-
ton by means Of better roads. So long as
wagon transportation costs twenty times as
much as rail transportation, and seventy
times as much as water transportation, the
first named offers the most promising field
for economy. Farmers have only TO closely
consider these and other points involved to
find an affirmative answer to the question.

THE TREE ON THE TOWER.
A Mountain Ash Becomes Through
Necessity a Verltable Air Plant.

IL GsAOAhOoAh ANU oGCOnloS
Necessity a Verltable Air Plant.
From the Country Gentleman.
The front wall OF the First Universalist
church In Utica is constructed OF sandstone
and Trenton limestone. and was built about
forty years ago. At the two angles of the
facade there are two Norman turrets As
feet high, surmounted with the usual
notched battlements. Just below these are
plain, fiat cornices projecting from the
main walls about 20 inches, and not over
Is inches in thickness. On the flat top OF
one of these lodges, and from joint in the
masonry not more than three-fourths OF an
inch wide. there has been growing for
nearly thirty years, a mountain, ash or
Scotch rowan tree" which is now IL feet
high and about or feet across the ex-
pansion of the branches, OF which there are
SO many and 30 dense that they make the
tree appear bush-like. The ash is perfectly
healthy, and for several years past has
borne crops Of scarlet berries. AS already
stated. the joint on the ledge from which the
tree grows is not more than three-quarters
Of an inch wide. The bole OF the main
stem, Just Immediately above the service,
is inches In diameter. There is no accu-
mutation OF matter on the ledge 20 form a
coil or TO retain any moisture.
OF course, the tree 10 not as large as one
of the same age would be growing the same
length or Time IN good soil on the ground
but the wonder is how does the plant, grow
ing out OF that dry-mortared chink, ever
sustain life, especially during the summer
fervors, up there as 1t is on q ledge forty
feet above the street. and not on "a crumb-
ling ruin, but on dry, solid stone cornics,
attached 60 a CLOSE ointed dimension stone,
well-built tower walls Then, too, the ques-
| ton may be asked of the scientific: How
do the radicles of that plant find the solu-
BILE potash and phosphoric acid so indispen-
| sable to its very existence9 And from
whence does it get the mineral elements
which enter into the composition Of all
| arboreal growthp
Ia there not here also evidence that our
| plant takes in its absolutely necessary nitro
| gen in the same manner as it does its carr
| bon, L. E., through its foliage and from the
| air only! For there can lie but little, IL
| any, decomposed mortar in the chinks be-
low tho plant on that projecting cornice OF
| not more than eighteen inches in thickness,
into the small interstices between the stones
| of which the superficial roots Of our plant
! can penetrate. Weare taught chat In such a
dry pabuum devoid of vegetable matter
there can be no bacterial nitrificetlou. At
any rate, on a mere ledge OF masonry at that
altitude is growing healthy exotic tree,
rich in foliage and fruit, defying zero
weather in winter, tropical heats in sum-
mer aud never dropping during the most dis
treEsing droughts.

where it was thought that death would
soon come to relieve me of my sufferings.
Last September, while in this helpless
and suffering condition, friend of mine
in Hamilton, Ont, cal ed my attention to
the statement Of one John Marshall,
whose case had been similar to my own,
and who bad been cured by the use OF
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
"In this case, Mr.. Marshall, who II a
prominent member of the Royal Tenn
plals of Temperance, had after four years
of constant treatment by the most emf
nent Canadian physicians been pro-
nounced incnrabIe, aud was paid the
81 900 total disability claim allowed by
the order in such Gases. Some months
after Mr.. Marshall began course of
treatment with DR.. Williams Pink Pills,
and after taking some Is boxes was fully
res ored to hsalth.
81 thought l would try them, and nv
wife sent for two b 'xes of the pills, aud
L took them according to the directions
on the wrapper on each box. For the
first few day s the cold baths were pretty
severe, as was so very weak, but l con
tinued TO follow instructions ~ to taking
the pills and the treatment, and even be-
tore had used up the two boxes of pills
began to feel beneficial results from
them. My pains were not so bad; felt
warmer my head felt better; my food
began to relish and agree with me;
could straighten up; the feeling began to
come back into my limbs; l began to be
able to get about on crutches; my eye
came hack as good as ever, and now, after
the use of eight boxes of the pills-at n
cost OF only $500 see!-I can with the
help of a cane Only, walk all about the
house aud ard, eau saw wood, and on
pleasant days walk down town. NV
stomach trouble is gone; L have gained 10
pounds; feel like a new man. and when
the spring opens l expect to be able to
renew my organ and piano agency. l
cannot speak in too high terms of DR.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People, as
! know they saved my life after all the
doctors had given me upas incurable."
Such is the wonderful story which the
Express reporter has succeeded in secur-
ing verification of in all its details, from
the hospital records where Mr.. QUAINT
was treated and from The doctors who
had the case in hand and who pronounce
ed him lncurable. Let it be remember
ed that all this hospital treatment was
two and three yeas ago, while his cure,
by the use of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People, has been effected since
last September 1891. So it is beyond a
doubt evident that his recovery is Who'll
ly due to the use of these famous pills,
which have been found to have made
such remarkable cures in this and other
cases.
Mr.. QUAINT placed in the hands Of the
reporter his card OF admission to Roose-
welt hospital, which is here produced in
further confirmation of his statements
