GUS channels OF trade, would find its
way back to the pockets of those from
whom IL had been taken for a good pur-
pose.
There should be permanently EN-
ployed a few men with pick and shovel.
TO make necessary repairs, drain the
roads after heavy rains. etc. This
would save considerable money 20 every
town, and our roads would by rational
work always be In good condition. Now,
as mentioned before, great deal could
be done TO improve our roads; but such
statements as we often hear-that the
roads are In worse condition than they
were so years ago." is surely over
drawn. This is comparatively a new
country and cannot compare with Euro
pean countries. During the past AZ
years, in our own town, we have cleared
the land from heavy timber, stones and
stumps, drained mud holes and swamps,
built substantial barns and houses
raised blooded stock OF all kinds. and
kept the roads in as good condition az
we know how. But laws that were al
right in colonial times should be abol
ished, that re may keep up with the
progress of the times.-A. Selle, In

The Mankato (ALinn.) Free Press says
that the establishment OF creameries

roads. The daily trip 10 them with the
milk must be made regardless Of mud

for milk is a perishable product. Then,
even when the road is dry, the milk, Of
course, Is injured by the churning re-
ceived on the journey over the rough
roads. The farmer Is, therefore, begin
ming to perceive the direct money value
of road Improvement. The Free Press
adds that the creamery is becoming the
focus al which better roads center.

Flax Il an Exhaustive Crop.

Some western farm journals are won
dering why fax is not more grown
than il Is. The reason is thatit is a very
exhaustive crop and can only be grown
profitafbly where fertility is little re-
garded or where there Is good market
TOR both fiber and seed. 1t is a good
sign for western farmers that fax
growing as II was practiced few years
ago is going out of their farm rota-
ton. The stalk and fibre were always
thrown away. Only the seed was mar
keted, and this sold so low that the
raw seed, or. better still, fiaxseed meal,
was one of the cheapest fertilizers that
can be used. Not until we have mills
for making linen cloth and con
veniences for separating the fiber from
the stalk will flax growing be profitable
in this country. When both seed and
fiber can be sold the crop will pay for
the heavy manuring il requires TO keep
the land fertile.-American Cultiyator.
