NEW JERSEYS ROADS.
THE BEST IN The COUNTRY.
Experiments Already Made Demonstrat
the Immense saving to the Farmer.

More practical work is being done i'll
New Jersey in the direction of good
roads than In any other state in the
Union and for that reason ii has been
selected by the postotiice department
for the experiment authorized by Con-
gress for u free delivery system in the
rural districts. The movement was
begun In 1893 by the organization of
a highway Improvement association
and the passage of law imposing up
on the state onc-third of the cost of
good roads constructed under the di-
rection of a state road commissioner.
Under this statute 23S miles of ma
cadamized roadway has been con-
structed at an expense of S466.595 to
the state and upwards of n million dol
lars to the counties and the property
owners. People can now travel upon
a hard, mudlesS highway in all kinds
Of weather. II is solid and smooth as
Il boulevard from Jersey City to At
lantic City and from Paterson to Cam
den. The work of construction was
continued for series of years-in 1883
and 1894, seyenty-fOur miles: 1895,
sixty-six and one-half miles; 1896, fifty
one miles, etc. The cost has been di-
minished by experience from an aver
age of $1,000 per mile in 1898 to $4,000
a mile in 1897.
The opposition to the new sys-
TEN has already died out and the ap-
plications for state assistance are so
numerous that the appropriation will
be increased from 100000 to $500, 200
this year. The farmers have found
that they actually save more than the
amount of their taxes in repairing
their wagons, harness and in horse
shoes, without considering the wear of
the animals and the economy of time.
The road commissioner of the state,
whose tact and ability have done much
to promote the movement puts prac-
tical lesson in mathematics before the
farmers. "It costs o.. cents bushel,'
he says, "to ship wheat from Chicago
to New York. distance of 800 miles
1t costs 3 cents a bushcl to haul wheat
on level road distance of five miles
and on sandy road at least 0 cents
per mile to haul 1t. The saving on n
bushel of wheat with good roads for
distance of five miles would be about
equivalent 10 that of $40 miles by
railroad. One mile of good roads
would make n saving equal to seventy
five miles of railroad transportation.
Thus every mile of good roads places
the producer seventy-tive miles by rail
near TO the market. Ii is estimated
that the cost of hauling 7O0,000,O 900
tons of farm produce to market is 50
per ton. or just S1i00.0O0,000. 1t is
also estimated that about GO per cent.
of this last amount. or SSiO.0O0. 900,
would be saved each year If the farm
ers were able to do this hauling over
good roads The real cost of tranSpor-
tatiOn that burdens our agricultural
classes" he says. "is part of it between
the farm and the town or railway
station and the market. The loss due
TO bad roads is one of the greatest
wastes of energy connected with farm
ing as it is carried on in this country"
