Good Roads.

A very striking illustration of the I'M
portance of goods roads was offered a
few years ago at meeting of farmers
held at Des Moines, Iowa. A. G. Tup-
per, state dairy commissioner for Iowa,
addressed the meeting upon the max
ing and selling of butter, and reported
that the shipments of butter for the
current year in Iowa had fallen short OF
those of the year before by some TO-
2I1, 548 pounds. This amount OF but
ter, he said, at 20 cents per pound, rep
resenting value of $2,043,329, an
amount of money sufficient to pay for
many hundred miles of the very best
kind of macadam roads. Mr.. Topper
explained that this entire loss was due
to bad roads, owing to the fact that the
rains of spring and early summer dur
ing that year had been heavier than
usual, and that the reduction in the
amount of butter shipped was traceable
only to the impossible condition OF the
country roads. Farmers had been dis
couraged from making butter because
they had seen no way of marketing it.
This shows the loss from adroads in
single state, ina single year, on a
single farm product, and yet the
amount is considerably above two mil
lion dollars. If there is any way of OBJ
tanning better roads without increasing
the amount of road taxes required to be
levied, farmers certainly should be suf-
ficiently interested in the good roads
movement to give it their best thought
and attention. Farmers in Wisconsin
are becoming deeply interested in the
good roads movement, and those who
are agitating for better highways are
increasing in number day by day.
