Loss TO Tobacco Growers.

A practical man from Greensboro,
KY, in discussing direct and indirect ex-
cess cost annually to farmers and others
due to bad roads, writes as follows:
The tobacco crop marketed in Owens
boro from Nov. to May was 10000
600 pounds, all brought in wagons.
Loads will average 1900 pounds, but
many loads are handled by four horse
teams. A good deal Of this crop comes
from farmers on gravel roads at points
beyond, where gravel is used. Although
500 pounds would be good load for a
good team, believe q system of pixies
or gravel roads (free) would result in a
saving Of not less than $3.50 per load on
tobacco alone, indicating possible saw
ing of $50, 900 on this crop. If include
corn, potatoes, wheat, hay and general
traffic, the loss to this county every year
on account of unfathomable roads can
not be much less than 100000.

Things to Consider.

Material should be carefully selected,
durability and cheapness when prepared
being first considered; then by using To-
cal stone local labor may be employed,
and SO by outlay for stone and labor each
locality will to an extent be benefited di-
rectly by the distribution of the money
cost of the road in such locality.
Every county should own and operate
at least one steam road roller.
Road sweepings, except manure, and
common sand and clay make suitable
binding material over broken stone.
In making a new road wet1ing down
OR sprinkling has been proven injurious.
Such practice is wise in repair, as then
the binding material is solidifed while
the water does not penetrate the surface
coating to soften q wo..Aen it.

Facts to Remember.

Increase of railroad mileage seems to
lessen interest in highways, but it should
not be forgotten that nearly all railroad
freight has been previously carted over
highways.
The use Of springs on freight wagons
greatly diminishes the jot or falling force
in road depressions, prevents ruts and
preserves roads.
The effects of wheels Of large diameter
and width of tire is to greatly diminish
spot pressure, and the breaking of the
road surface is thus obviated.
The reduction of cost of transit of per-
sons and freight by lower prices for H7-
cries and for hauling would be benef-
cial, and as transportation is large ele-
ment of cost to every one not a producer
good roads woald much cheaper living
The cost OF transporting products Or
of hauling To market is by tenfold the
highest tax now paid By our farmers and
huckSferS
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1893-12-01
Good Roads Double the Farmers Incom,

The cost of highway transportation
over the properly built roads of France
does not exceed one-third the like ex-
pense in the United States, it being com
mon in the rural districts Of France to
haul three tons and in the cities from
three to five tons net freight with one
horse. In this way the good road saves
the farmer each year much more than
its cost, and we may ignore the increased
pleasure in its use. If two horses haul
the load Of four, one wagon of two, one
set Of harness Of two, one driver serve
for two, and if six miles instead of three
be passed per hour, the aggregate saving
would double the net income of the av-
erage huckster or farmer-Exc hange.

1t is curious fact that the Swiss road
ways Of today are really a revival of
Roman engineering, both in method Of
construction and in selection of routes,
return being made to it after years of
mistaken experiments. Consul Adams
declares that the most important lesson
for US from European experience is that
the worst surface with d good foundation
affords a better road than the costliest
surface without q foundation. No mat
ter how much money is laid out on the
surface, the result will be swift ruin I'M
less it is prorc-ly supported from be-
meath. But with a good foundation the
surface may De Of gravel, or even Of
common soil if nothing better is avail

Good Country Roads Tor Texas.

Good Country ioads For Texas.
The agitation begun some time ago for
the construction of country roads that
will be passable at all seasons of the year
is not to be allowed to die out without
having produced any practical results.
1t is now bearing fruit in some sections
of the country where the need of good
roads has been most severely felt. The
legislature of Texas, which has recently
adjourned, passed an act for the begin
ming of the work OF road construction in
the state which, if it should prove effec-
tual i'll its working, will doubtless be
given wider scope at subsequent sessions
of the lawmaking assembly until it's pro-
visions are wide enough to embrace ey-
cry portion of the state and furnish good
roads in all directions
AS yet the law applies only to counties
that contain cities or towns of consider
able Importance, probably because the
Imposition of a tax sufficient to meet the
expense of the construction would be
more than the sparse population in other
counties could stand. By the act passed
the county commissioners of certain
counties are authorized to issue bonds
for road construction. The amount of
these bonds is to be governed by the as
sessed valuation Of the property in the
county issuing the paper. No larger
amount may be issued than tax of Is
mills on the assessed valuation. The
bonds may not be redeenable in less than
10 or run more than 40 years, and they
may not be sold at less than their par
value.
Care is taken in the law to provide
safeguards for the proper expenditure of
the money. Money thus raised may not
be expended for any other purpose than
the construction Of roads and bridges.
These must be built under the supervi-
sion Of a competent engineer and after
proper survey has been made for them.
They are to be built in a substantial and
permanent way SO that they will be pass
able at all seasons of the year and in such
a way that they will be easily kent in
proper repair. Should the act be ad-
ministered in the spirit il which it has
been passed, it is probable that Texas
will soon be ahead of most of the other
western states in regard to good country
roads.-Chicago Record.

An Experiment With Steel Rails.

One of its interesting experiments,
noted by Mr.. Mertens in Valencia, Spain,
is that Of a cart track of steel fat top
rails, which gave such excellent results
that double track was to be laid the
whole way to the port for heavily laden
carts. The distance between the two
iron tracks is about II yards, and steel
crossbar holds them at the right dis
lance, the roadway between being paved.
One side is used as an up route and the
other ior going down. The cost, though
the steel rails are imported, is only about
$40 per running yard, put down and
ready for use.-New York Sun.

A Belief That Proves Troublesome.

Arecently returned eastern missionary
says that a small, but persistent, vexa-
ton in household affairs is the firm be-
lief in the transmigration of souls among
ones Buddhist servants and its often
ludicrous consequences. For instance,
once on shipboard the sailors were di-
reCted to kill the COckroaches with which
the vessel was infested. This they dared
not do, fearing that some ancestors spirit
might be imprisoned in that most I'M
likely form. They approached the YER
min gently, lifted them up on sheets of
paper and dropped them overheard in a
manner almost tender and quite defer
entail.
One young convert chung to her newly
made friend during her last illness with
the constant cry that she feared, when
the end should come, that the old belief
would be too strong for her, it pressed
so hard upon her that the soul was des-
tined for further earthly life. It'was a
cause for great rejoicing at the mission
station that dissolution came in sleep
and unattended by this horror. New

NO BLANKS IN THIS COMPETITION.

This is a competition of rather an unusual
nature. II is common to offer prizes for tie
best story, or picture, or architectural plan,
all the con petitOrs risking the loss of their
labor and the sucl essful one merely selling
his for the amount of the prize. But the
Press Claims CompaDy's offer is somer hing
entirely different, Each person is asked
merely to help himself, and the one who
helps himself 10 the best advantage is to be
rewarded for doing it. The prize is only a
stimulus to do something that would be
well worth doing without it. The architect
whose competitive plan for club house on q
certain corner is not accepted has not spent
his labor on something of very little use 10
him. But the person who patent simple ana
useful device in the Press Claims Company
competition, need not worry If he fail to Sc
cure the prize. He has su bstantial result TO
show for his work-one that will command lts
value in the N arket at any time.
The plain man who uses any article in his
daily work ought to know better how to I'M
prove it than, the mechanical expert who
studies 1t only from the theoretical point OF
view. Get rid of the idea that an improve
ment can be too simple to be worth pstenung.
The simpler the better. The person who best
succeeds in combining simplicity and popu'
larity, will get the Press Claims Company
twenty-five hundred dollars.
