TO keep good roads in good repair,
moisture is often the one thing de-
sired. Tho four months of continuous
drought last summer was trying to all
kinds of roads. Sand roads became al
most impossible, gravel and dirt roads
dissolved into dust, and stone roads
ranifested strong tendency to dis
integrate on the surface for want of
moisture to cement the binding ma
terial with the stones. But where the
surface Of stone roads is a part OF
shaded avenues, there was none or lit
tie disintegrating, reports Road Com
missioner Budd, of New Jersey, thus
emphasizing the experience and prac-
tice Of European road builders that ma
cndamized roads should be set with
shade or fruit trees, so that the silent
forces of nature may steadily provide
the moisture that is needed without ex-
pense, besides adding beauty to the

FRUITS AND VEGETABLES.
Small Packages to BE transported at Very
Low Rates,


Low Rates.
The suggestion that the British gov
ernment should establish an agricul-
tural parcels post throughout the
United Kingdom so as TO enable the
farmers and the market gardeners to
deal directly with the consumer has
not yet been acted upon. But the sug-
gestion has borne fruit in another way.
IT has led to one of the English rail-
ways introducing scheme which
promises to highly benefit the agricul-
tural communities. The railway pro-
poses to transport in small packages
perishable products at greatly reduced
charges. The goods are to be shipped
on passenger trains. A package weigh
ing 20 pounds may be sent to London
from any station within 100 miles for
eight cents. For every additional five
pounds up to go pounds an additional
charge of two cents will be made. No
box of greater weight than go pounds
win be received at this rate. The prod
uce must be shipped in certain kinds
Of boxes, which may be bought of the
railway company if desired. Prices
vary from three to ten cents, according
to size. For prepaying charges parcel
stamps which can be affixed to the
package are on sale at the stations.
1t is thought that this arrangement
will stimulate the shipment of perish
able goods direct to London and will
bring producer and consumer in direct
contact. Not merely will the commits
sion charges be saved in many cases,
but the freshness of the produce and
the ease with which it is obtained
should largely stimulate consumption.
We should like to see some such scheme
introduced on American railways. AS
matters now stand many city families
purchase fruit and vegetables from the
corner grocery which would be ordered
direct from the farmer were not the
railroad charges practically prohibi-
tive.--N. Y. World.

vehicle, whether propelled by steam or
naphtha, by hitched-up quadruped or
Lestriding biped.
Our consul further suggests plan
for road improvement; or, rather, for
raising the money for road improve
ment. It is the French plan, to wit, a
wheel tax. In France all carriages are
taxed. Those with seats for one or two
persons, $40 year lin round numbers);
those with seats for three, SIS, and for
four, 500; while bicycles and tricycles
are taxed So each. These taxes are pay
able monthly, in advance, and must be
paid before the vehicle is allowed to go
upon the road, A fine revenue is thus
obtained. No doubt q similar system in
this country would also fill up the state,
county or township treasury. But we
don't want it. Such tax would be par
ticularly vexatious and annoying.
We don't need it, either. Our ordl-
nary system Of taxation is sufficient.
We spend enough money--or it's equiv
alent-on our roads now to make them
"a good as those OF France. The trouble
II we don't spend it in the right way.
Our labor Is misdirected. At some sea.
sons of the year, when farm work is less
pressing than usual, the farmer works
out" his road tax. Generally it is about
the worst time of the year for the roads;
hut that doesn't matter. He takes his
horses aud plow and scraper, plows up
some furrows in the gutter between the
wagontraek and the sidewalks, and
scrapes the earth up into the middle
of the road. That makes the road rough
md mmpy. You must drive over it at
walk, as over newly plowed field. IL
the weather remains dry it gets dusty;
II rain comes on it is a mass of mud.
In course of time it gets worn down
fairly smooth and hard; and then it is
time TO work out" some more taxes,
and scrape up some more sods and
loose dirt again.
That is what road-making has meant
IA most country places, and what Il still
means on thousands Of miles of high
way In the most highly improved states
Of this union. If instead of that the
same amount of work had been given
for the last 25 years to laying drains
and making telford, or macadam, or
esen good gravel roadways, we should
to-day have network of roads all over
these states on which any kind Of We
hiele could run with ease at any time of
year. We need no carriage tax, nor
