WHAT GOOD ROADS SAVE.

Economies Amounting to Millions ArS
as'ss''' in Reach OF the Farmers.
If our common boast that we are a
progressive, wide awake and ingenious
nation is well founded what can pe
urged to excuse as for adhering to the
antiquated and inefficient methods OF
making and keeping our common roaas
when we have before rs the great econ-3
o1ny and splendid results produced ny
the adoption of more intelligent methods
in, other countries? In many respects we
have greater need of hard surfaced
roads than has either France or Eng
land. Our rainfall is considerably
heavier than theirs and our dirt ROADS
for weeks at time are half as deep as
they are wide. Farm traffic is suspended
and horses are kept in idleness.
Official statistics show that there are
something over 100000 horses and
mules on the farms of the United States,
and at moderate estimate of twenty
five cents per day as the cost OF feed for
each animal, we see that it costs the
farmers of this country about 81, 0O0,0OO
per day for this item alone. Less than
SO per cent. of these animals would be
sufficient to do all the hauling OF farm
produce carried on in this country IT
even the main roads were put in first
class condition, but, not to hope too
strongly for the attainment of distant
things, let us suppose that such an i'm
provement be projected as would render
unnecessary only one-eighth of the total
number of the draft animals now en-
ployed. This would reduce the entire
number by a little over 2,000,0Oo and
would effect saving each day of about
$4,000 tons of hay and 10000 bushels OF
oats, which, reduced to money value,
equals $500, 900 per day, or about S114,-
000,0 900 per year.
Add to this the value of the animals,
$40, 900, 900, and we have total of 1884,
100000 saved for the first year. OF
course these figures do not represent the
real loss entailed to our farmers by the
use of dirt roads. That loss is beyond
computation; but in whatever way the
computation is directed, and wherever
the loss is susceptible Of calculation, the
same startling exhibit is bound to ap-
pear. A recent careful count shows
over 800 abandoned farms in the fertile
and populous state Of New Jersey
