WHAT GOOD ROADS MEAN.

Some time ago wrote you in regard
to opening in the reports of the depart
ment space devoted to our roads as a
special adjunct to the farm. This you
did, but as no one has had anything to
say on the subject, will you give some
of the advantages of good roads to the
farmers of the state, that we may all be-
come more interested in this important
subject. A. L. l., Gainesville.
The advantage of good roads to the
farmer has thus been tersely and clearly
presented under the title of "What Good
Roads Mean:
They would make it possible for the
farmers to take advantage promptly of
the highest market, no matter at what
season of the year.
They would save him days and weeks
of time which he wastes every year
wallowing through the disgusting nire
Of dirt roads.
They would reduce to minimum the
wear and tear on wagons and carriages
They would lesson the expense in keep
ing horses in working order, and fewer
horses would be required in the country
to perform the farmers work.
They would require less to keep them
in repair than do the dirt roads.
They would make it easier for a team
to pull several tons over their smooth
surface than to draw wagon through
the mud
They would afford ready communica.
ton with the outside world at all sea.
sons of the year.
They would save the farmer many
vexatious and nervous strains.
They would practically shorten the
! distance to the local market.
They would increase the demand for
country and suburban property.

What has been previously said of corn;
applies with equal force, if the land is
poor. heavy applications of commercial
fertilizers, either brodcast or drilled are
too risky, and on such lands 100 or 200
pounds to the acre will not pay, at pres
ent price of cotton, for the cost of pro-
ductiou. 1t is best to throw out of Gull
tivation. on cotton at least, every such
improbable acre. What is the use of
straining every nerve. exacting tribute
from every resource of the farm, and
then selling the product below its cost:
1t is gratifying to note that we are grad
ually emancipating ourselves ffom the
ALL COTTON BONDAGE.
Farmers are beginning to realize their
mistake, and to see that our true policy
is to make an abundance of home sup
plies, aid then as much cotton as posi-
bic, and at the lowest possible cost.

DEATH OF THE LAST MAN.
Scientists Tell of the Many Ways In
Which Human Life May Expire.

The st. Louis Republic" has COLLECTED
the opinions of a number of scientists
concerning the probable fate of the last
man. They say
l. The surface of the earth is slowly
but surely diminishing; all the landed
portion will be submerged and the last
man will be drowned.
2. The ice is gradually accommodating
at the North Pole and slowly melting
away at the South; eventually the
earth's centre of gravity will suddenly
change and the last man will be crushed
by the rush of movadles that will quickly
glide owe its surface.
8. There is a retarding medium in
her revolutions finally cease. will be
space, causing a gradual loss of velocity
il ali of the planets. The earth when
drawn nearer and nearer to the sun I'M
til the last man will be literally roasted
off the face of the earth.
4. The amount of water on the earth's
surface is slowly drying up; the last man
will die begging for a drop OF moisture
with to wet his parched tongue.
5. A gigantic planet or comet is likely
to tumble into the great sea of gas
which surrounds the sum-. In that event
our great luminary would blaze up and
burn the earth and all the other planets
to cinders.
6. Beginning with the year 5000 A. d.
humanity will begin to retrograde, and
by the end of the year 100000 man will
be no larger and have no more intelli-
gence han a plant louise. In that event
there will be no last man.
I. The suns fires will gradually burn
out and the temperature cool; In con-
sequence the earth's glacial zones will
enlarge, driving shivering humanity to-
wards the equator. AT last the habita-
BILE space will lessen to nothing and over
crowded humanity will be frozen in a
heap.

SOME NEWSPAPER STATISTICS.
How the People Value the Daily
journal Above Books.

1AOR ~ OORAS
journal Above Books.
Some one has calculated that we spend %
times as much money for newspapers as for
books. Daily papers cost our people $780,
600, 900, weeklies the same, monthlies about
So, 900, 900 and books $1,000, 900. The deduc-
ton from these figures as to the popularity
of these various kinds of literature is too
obvious to need statements The old distinc-
ton between newspapers and books was
thought to be one of substance. But the in
fuence of circulation is telling nowadays,
and the distinction Is rapidly becoming one
of form alone. The best writers of every
school are attracted by the financial induce
ment which journalism offers, and men with
practical propagandas particularly are apt
to choose the medium which is absolutely
certain of reaching hundreds of thousands Of
reader.
What saves the bound volume is its per-
manence. 1t remains on the shelf, when the
newspaper is wrapped about a bundle or cast
into the fire. Too much memorable matter
is thus lost simply because OF the perishable
shape in which it is cast. 1t has often seemed
to us that the good old fashion Of keeping
scrap books ought not to fall into disuse.
When we think of the yalue that would at
tach to a collection of dispatches during the
Civil War many of US, old enough to recall
those exciting days, cannot but regret that
we made so little use of the scissors and the
mucllage bottle. Our own time is no less
eventful. History is made and written daily.
The figures and facts cited above prove that
it is being written well; and they constitute
