MANY farmers have strong prejudice
against "peddling" their produce, as
they call the house-to-house sale OF IT.
This IS an unfortunate prejudice, for
selling directly TO the consumer is one
OF the most profitable methods OF dls-
posing of farm crops. Nor need II be at
all disngreeable, II rightly managed.
Have nothing but the best upon your
cart; have regular routes and regular
customers, and they will watch for
your coming and make your trading
agreeable. Selling at first hand means
a steady cash income, and prices much
higher than would be received from
dealers. Then, too, IL often means the
sale of produce when the dealers are
oyerstocked, and not willing to pur-
chase at any price.

The strongest argument which can Do
made for good roads is TO show the TO-
suits which have come with their con-
struction. Meclxlenburg county. In
North Carolina, offers an illustration,
which contains an eloquent plea for
good roads. That county has built ma
cadamizel roads during the past few
years. Before they were built, two
bales of cotton were considered
a good load on the old dirt road,
for team OF mules TO draw.
That was during fairly good wealth
err. When the weather was bad,
no one undertook to haul cotton. Since
the construction of macadamized roads,
the ordinary load has been regularly In
creased from two bales of cotton TO ten.
and the same single pair OF mules con-
tinue 10 draw IL. The weather, too. In
left entirely out of consideration. The
roads are just as good after a rain as at
any other time. Whenever the load can
be properly protected, farmers rather
prefer 10 do their hauling in rainy
weather. because they are then unable
TO work in their fields. Col. j. {. Upton,
| of North Carolina. is authority for these
statements, as made before the National
! Road conference.
Good roads will always raise the value
OF real estate. Ready access to market
| is considered most valuable feature of
farm property. This Is why farm near
to a market town brings a much higher
price than one situated several miles
away. Where farm is connected with
good market by a first-class road, tts
distance becomes of little Importance
This has been strilkingly shown in New
Jersey. Farmers in that state have en-
loved the benefits of good roads to
greater degree, perhaps, than any
others.
Real estate has risen in value wher
ever macadamized roads havebeen built
