Cost of Bad Roads.

According to statistics collected by
The office of road inquiry of the De-
Dartment of Agriculture, the amount
If loss each year by bad roads Of the
country is almost beyond belief.
Some 10000 letters of inquiry were
tent to intelligent and reliable farmers
throughout the country, and returns
we're obtained from about 1900 coun-
lies, giving the average length of
haul in miles from farms to markets
md shipping points, the average
weight of load hauled and the average
length per ton for the whole length Of
The haul.
Summarized, it appears that the
general average length of haul is
Twelve miles, the weight of load for
Two horses 5000 pounds, and the aver
.ge cost per ton per mile twenty five
cents, or So for the entire load.
Allowing conservative estimates for
tonnage of all kinds carried over pub
lie roads, the aggregate expense Of
his transportation is figured at $685..
ia, 900 per annum. Those in posi-
ton to Judge, calculate that two thirds,
Or nearly 1851 900, 900, could be saved
Il the roads we're in reasonably good
condition. At $4,000 per mile very
rood road can be constructed, and if
IN amount equaling the savings of one
fear were applied to improving high
ways, $4,000 miles of road in this
country could be put in condition.
The: effect Of this would be a per-
manent improvement, and an exchange

A Southern Use For Tramps.

Visitors to the South have probably
noticed that there are several Southern
States in which tramps are rarely seen.
The reason why these States have such
immunity from tramps, while Massa-
,husetts is overrun with vagabonds Of
The criminal class, is simply to be found
N the different methods of treatment
# such criminals. In these Southern
States, where tramps are so seldom
seen, it is the uniform practice to put
III suspicious characters at work upon
he construction of public roads
throughout the States.
When State has more roads that
aeed improvement than money with
which to effect those improvements,
he employment of tramps as road
makers has been found to work to the
satisfaction Of the general public. A
criminal class is kept out Of mischief,
while at the same time the value of
he taxable property of the State is in
reased. Farmers are benefited by
,eing able to get their produce to mar
zet with far less trouble and delay
han were formerly expected as a mat
ler of course. The State secures good
loads at little expense.
Of course, the tramps do not care to
work day after day, toiling away upon
State highways; but whenever they
ire caught within such State they
cannot help themselves. The conse-
luence is that after few years of this
'ystem the great majority of tramps
give the State q wide. berth. Boston

In the course of q recent speech at

ernor Woodruff said: CHOW that I
have, through my participation dur
ing one session Of the Legislature, &C.
quired experience concerning the
management of State affairs, it is my
purpose next winter to devote large
share Of my time and energy to the Sc
curing Of good roads. Legislation in
that direction failed during the legis-
lative session Of 1897 because of the
opposition of the farm owners of the
State, who naturally prefer to work
the roads running through their farms
themselves, rather than pay the tax
required for some department of the
State to do it. We all know that the
making Of good roads requires care.

Thrilling Adventure of q Boy.

An Iowa boy recently passed through
an experience which he will not forget
if he lives to be 100 years old. He is
only FIVE years old, and one day when
his father went to the wheat field to
drive the harvester he took him along
and perched him on the high seat at
his side. For time the little fellow
watched the yellow wheat lop over as
twas cut in a wide swath, and the tall
arms sweep it back and bind it, and
finally the fat bundles being tossed
aside one byaone. For time all this
was very interesting, but presently the
little fellow grew tired and began to
squirm and complain. And then, just
as his father was leaning over to look
more closely at some of the machinery,
off tumbled the little fellow on the
conveyor. He shrieked just once, and
his father tried vainly to stop the
horses. But before he could even
slack the speed the boy had been driv-
en- up through the elevator canvas
with half bundle Of wheat, the bind
ing Irvine had twisted swiftly around
his neck and legs, and he was rolled
out on the wide carrier, securely bound
in wheat bundle. He was almost
choked and there wasa tiny bit Of skin
torn from his shoulder, but otherwise
he was unhurt when his father cut
the string and helped him up again.
But worse frightened boy would have
been hard to find.

A Lucky Escape.

In our camp on the Guanuco river,
on tho coast Of Venezuela, says q re.
turned traveller, q little freshman
named McCarty had q thrilling expert
ence. He was reckless fellow, and,
rising one morning before the rest Of
us were awake, he thought he would
take swim. Running to the edge OF
the high bank, he dived without first
looking about him, far out into the
water. AS he came to the surface in
the middle Of the narrow river, and
shook the water from his eyes, the first
sight that met his gaze was two jaguara
on the opposite bank, looking at him
and snufing inquisitive]y. He turned,
only to see on either side-and alto.
gether too near-an alligator regard.
ing him with marked attention; while
under the bank from which he had
leaped, lying with its tail in the water,
was coiled big boa, that he must
have passed directly over in diving.
The situation was too much for Nc.
Carly. and he yelled for help. At his
outcry oil of us in camp jumped to our
feet, grabbed shotguns and rifles, and
ran to the bank. There we saw Nc
Carly "treading water" out in the river
with HALL his unwelcome company about
gazing at him with growing interest.
They clearly had been taken aback by
the suddenness with which he had ap-
peared among them, but as their sur
prise wore off they seemed disposed
toward closer acquaintance.
We shot one Of the jaguars md the
boa; the other jaguar ran away. Then
we peppered the alligators with bull
lets and shot so holly as to keep them
away from McCarty while he swan to
the shore. It was fine sight to see
him clawing his way up the steep bank,
slipping back in the wet clay almost
as fast as he climbed, untilhe got near
enough for us to give him a hand. He
had a lucky escape and o practical
