to So, $50. 600, still large sum, but it
would DO a saving Of IS, 500, 600 of what
it now costs. The farmer who markets
100 tons of grain would save $500 III
time, labor and wear and tear of his
horses and wagons. Besides it would not
be necessary for him to keep and feed
so many horses to do his work.
Now that we may realize how the
constant adding up of a great many
small sums produces very large
amount we will take the statistics of
the dairy products Of this same state Of
Wisconsin as given in tho last dairy
bulletin Of the United States ngricul-
tural department.. The value Of all these
products is given for Wisconsin at $780,
900, 900, very large amount of money.
No one knows better than the indus
trious and economical dairymen Of Wis
oonsin how many little bits of work
and care enter into the making up of
this large amount of money. Let us now
compare tho loss to the farmer which
results from bad roads and which hap
pens little by little. We will omit for
the. time the loss to the dairyman. The
farmers loss for Wisconsin has been es-
timated at IS, 100000. This is more
than Is per cent Of the value Of the
dairy products of the state. If we now
add to this the dairyman's loss and the
loss of other marketing for want Of good
roads, it will easily reach $4,000, 900.
This is 20 per cent Of the dairy product
Of this rich and prosperous state each
year and must still continue and in
crease if there is no improvement in the
roads.
The farmer and dairyman of Wiscon-
sin must be content to see 30 per cent of
the whole amount of the dairyman's
products literally sacrificed to the
"greedy god Of the mud, " and that by
the barbaroua process Of sticking their
wagons and horses and sometimes them.
selves almost up to the boot tops into
the black swamp mud and the yellow,
sticky clay Of the roads. Surely when
this condition is properly considered all
who are, involved should be ''somewhat
agitated." Nor is the condition Of the
other states Of the Union on an average
any better, but rather worse.
II now there were no way ont Of this
difficulty, we would be in the end great
yearly losers, as we'll as being always
in a sorry plight. The only way out i.
to agitate and agitate until the motive
power among us takes some definite di.
reotion. Let each man talk to his neigh.
Dor and to every man that he sees plod'
ding through the mud, and soon there
will be sentiment that something must
be done. The conclusion will generally
be reached that some outside help must
be called in. The help must come through
some organized body. 1t may be the
state or the county or both, but certainly
something must be done to stop this
great waste.

Money Thrown Away.

At a good roads meeting of the prop
erty owners of Montgomery township,
Pa, it was stated that the township had
expended $28,311 in the maintenance
Of dirt roads since 1879, and instead Of
improving them they were getting
worse every year.
Chestnut Compete.
The chestnut compete is now in order.
An exchange tells how to make it: Shell
as chestnuts and simmer them gently in
q pint Of milk and water until they are
cooked and floury. Then drain them Oh
q sieve and boil ounces Of sugar with
half pint of water until it makes
pearly bubbles on the surface. When the
strip is ready, put in the chestnuts and
bruise them in it. Flavor with vanilla
and mix all well together. Rub the
mixture through a coarse wire sieve on
to dish into the form Of a pyramid and
serve surrounded with whipped cream
favored with sherry.
Tho Very Best Road.
General Roy Stone says that the best
road in this country is the Jacksonville
ella. boulevard, which extends six
miles in circle around the city. It is
made Of white flint rock and is 30 feet
wide. The macadam is 16 feet wide and
9 inches deep. The road was built by
convicts at a cost Of Sc, 900 per mile.

THE "WlND" FIGHTERS.
A Conference Called to Find Out What
They Want.


Carson, New. March 12-For time
yesterday IL looked as IL there would
be regular row between the camps of.
the fighters regarding the interpreta-,
tion of the rules of the ring made by,
Mr.. Sller. Dan Stuart, however, took
matters in hand, and in a short time
he had managed to patch up peace
and avoid a threatened storm. The
main obstacle in the way of pulling off
the fight without a squabble was Fitz-
simmons, who declared that he did not
like the reading Of the rules made by
Siler, and that he did not propose to
agree upon anything until he and Cor
bett were in the ring.
Stuart Immediately ordered a car
riage and drove out to Fitzsimmons'
ranch, and had a talk with the lanky
fighter. The result was an agreement
for conference this afternoon be-
tween representatives Of the two fight
ers.
II am not making any objection to
the rules as whole,s said Fitzsim-
mons, "all want Is to keep the other
fellows from getting any advantage
over me. 1 want an even show, and
nothing more than that. And more
than that, l can lick Corbett, and 1
will do 1t il they do not work any fine
schemes on me-"
When Corbett was called on he
agreed to the conference. and added
II understand that Fitzsimmons is
kicking on the rules, just as l said he
would. All l care about is to keep
Fitzsimmons from getting any undue
advantage. l want nothing myself
that Il am not willing to concede to
him, and there Is no use of my telling
Siler that 1 agree to a thing or object
to that thing until l know what Fitz-
simmons Is making kick about. AS
long as he has a chance to object to
anything he Is going to do it."

Chnrpad with AbattinS Araon.

New York, March 12.-George W.
Holt, a fire insurance adjuster of
Brooklyn, was indicted yesterday by
the grand jury in this city as an ac-
cessory after the fact to the crime of
arson. The specific charge against
Holt is that he aided and abetted
Samuel Mich. a fire insurance adjus-
ter In this city, when he was in hiding
from the police two years ago. Mich
was afterward found and turned In
former. Holt, who is wealthy and re-
spected, lives in fine house In Brook
lyn. He was indicted in Brooklyn
some time ago for arson, and also in
dicted for arson here. He is out on
$40 900 bail. The case grows out Of the
operations of the old firebug gang, sew
eral of whose members are in state
prison.
