Good Country Roads.

There is nothing outside of his
own farm which lies so near the
farmers interest as good roads.
Good roads means more than mere
comfort and speed in travelling.
They mean better horses and a long
er life of usefulness to valuable
animals. They mean vast saving
in wagons and carriages, and great
err profits on the farm from cheap
ening of the transportation to mar
kets.
Good roads should be above all
politics. They should be non-par-
isan issue in every election, until
laws are passed and selected to ad-
minister them, which and who will
insure for every township in the
United States the best highways
that skill and labor can make.
Nothing will do more to improve
the country and better the condition
ofevery farmer.-American Farmer.

bare and bleeding.
We kindled dead tree near by into

him plentifully.
In a short while he was able to speak,
and asked us what were going to do
with him.
At the end of the first sentence we
looked at each other with slight air
of surprise. He did not speak like a
convict
His voice was clear and well pitched,
his rhetoric perfect, and everything
