FARM AND GARDEN,
HARD ROAD IN SAND.

New Jerseys Road Commissioner Teile
+ 81 How to BUILD One.
H6wcan q hard road be made from one that
Is all sand, when there Is but very little loan
to be had?
No mention is made of any kind Of
material whatever, as being available.
1t is, therefore, inferred that a perma-
nent roadbed is desired, for which
purpose 1 would recommend a mac.
adam roadbed, ten or twelve feet wide
and six, eight or ten inches thick, ac-
cording to the probable traffic over the
road. A sandy bottom makes the best
foundation for Il telford or macadam
road Wet sand becomes hard, an H.
Illustration of which is to be seen upon
the seashore. Wet clay becomes a
sticky mass, and will ooze up between
stone or brick. Hence, for a sandy
road, grade and prepare the roadbed.
After the proper excavation is made
for the stone construction, should the
bed be a mass of loose sand for several
inches, a plank should be set on edge
on each side of the space e~xcavated.
If water be handy, sprinkle the bottom

stone for the bottom course all the way,
across the roadbed from plank to
plank. Thoroughly roll, then put
on the finishing courses and con-
tinue the rolling until the road
is compact and solid. A little
clay Or loan or a slight coating of
stone dust as a binder on the bottom
course, might be used to advantage be-
fore applying the second course. Hav-
ing thoroughly rolled the completed
stone work, remove the plank and fill
in the space with three or four-inch
stone and ram or roll them solid. Bank
up the sides with earth, using loan or
clay. If this is not available, after
sloping the sides to conform to the
arch of the stone work, clean out the
bitches on each side, spread the turf,
grass and mud on top of the sand bank.
ing the stone, and roll it firm. If there
is no sufficient of this material to
make the basis for a sward, sow rye
or crimson clover, and such grass seed
as may be best suited to the locality and
encourage a growth that will prevent
washing, and also make a foundation
for the support of vehicles when pass
ing each other, as well as make a firm
shoulder to hold the stone roadbed in
position. A road of this character, if
not over ninety miles from the quar-
ries, should be built six inches deep

GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT.
Gen. Stone Talks of the Interest Shown
in the Various States.

Gen. Stone Talks OF the Interest Shown
in the Various States.
Official reports to the bureau Of roads
inquiry at Washington show that in
creased interest is taken i'll the good
roads movement, and that a large pro-
portion of the railroad companies have
agreed to further the idea by offering
very low rates whenever any general
movement is started. Gen. Roy Stone,
in charge of the bureau, who has
been spending some weeks attending
road conventions in the west as the
representative of the agricultural de-
partment, has returned to Washington.
In reviewing the progress of the move
ment Gen. Stone said:
'In Indiana and Missouri great in
terest is being taken in the movement.
In Nebraska there is not much need
for general road improvements, except
in the river counties. Owing to the
naturally good roads, helped lately by
the very dry weather, Kansas is inter-
ested in the question and anxious to
make the improvements, and the legis-
lature will undoubtedly take up the
matter and make decided changes in
legislation. Nearly all of the southern
states L taking some steps in road
building, either by increased use of
convict labor or by county building.
Michigan will take some impor-
tant steps this winter to make it's
trY-roads law more successful. A very
energetic movement is in progress in
Wisconsin. In New Jersey state aid
will probably be doubled in amount
this year. The Massachusetts state
commission has asked for 81, 200, 900 to
expend in the construction of state
There is some opposition to
this, but the appropriation will be
granted. General opinion favors con-
Wet and tramp labor for road improve
ment. The main idea is to use state
prison convicts in preparing road ma
t~erials, working in quarries where they
can be guarded, and to use tramps,
county prisoners and .short-term con.
victs in macadamizing the roads,"

Pennsylvania.
we ave before us the report of the
eoih"lt1ee appointed by the tax con-
ference of Pennsylvania interests -
eaaihlne the tax laws of the American
states. e"n
0AiioS TAXATION AND EXEMPTION
IN PENNSYLVANIA.
PENNSYLVANIA continues to make ef-
'orts to better her condition. These
reports are the result of a failure If the
legislature OF the state to act upon the
recommendations of a recent tax COM
mission. mo legislature ever acts
on the advice of a tax commission -
I'D When it was found that s7cb
a oil, as was desired, could not he
passed, the different interests of the
state voluntarily went into a 1pnfer-
ehce TO ascertain the actual facts re
garding taxation, and to report such
legislation as they thought would favor
all classes. The reports of the CONFER
ence show what immense trouble was
axe to secure adequate data or
winch to proceed. And the fact that
the different Interests of the state
would furnish the means and labo, tn
make this exhaustive research, proves
now important they felt it to be to
their interest to secure a Just system
of taxation.
The conference first attempted to
ascertain the actual value of all the
property OF the state. As to value of
lands, and improvements the results
are startling. In the large cities the
land values are only thirty-six per cent.
OF h entire real estate values. while
IN the agricultural districts they are
sometimes as high as eighty per cent.
fro1. sellgman commenting on this
says: This is a very bad showing for
the single tax advocates, as such a pro-
portion has always been vehemently
denied by them"
cThis, of course, is nonsense. We
doubt if Prof. Seligman said
anything OF the kind. The
land values Of the farms reported
include fences, fertilizing work, drains
and SO forth. These are not land value
but labor product. No one ever
claimed that houses and barns were
worth more than the cultivated farm.
Farm land should be valued as swild
land" to find the true proportion Of it's
value to Improvements" That is the
way it would be valued under the sin
gle tax.-ED.)
The committee also made some valu-
able Investigations as to the true and
assessed value of property in different
counties of the state. To do this they
procured reports of all actual sales of
property in the last year, and COM
pared these with the tax assessors
books. 1t was found that the per cent. |
Of assessment to true value of property
in the different counties be-
tween 20 per cent. and 81 per cent.
Large cities were found to be assessed
nearest their cash value while the
districts escaped lightest. As
Pennsylvania has no state fax on real
estate this is not a hardship to the
over assessed counties.
(These valuable Investigations" are
rendered worthless by the above noted
,rror.-ED.)

ing unless backed up by the organized
power. Close up the ranks and move
forward; we can win this fight if we
will. The single tax advocates are
quite active and enthusiastic in their
efforts to .coniscate land values" by
putting the entire burden of taxation
thereon. Farmers should not put

You tax whisky to make it harder to

the sense of taxing houses and goods

Why should the man who uses land

Is not the value of the land of a

population and should that value
