what is being done by the wheclmcn
at the present timc and it must be said
to their credit that they have enlisted
the sympathy and support of all the
prominent farmers organizations in
the movement. With the two classes
working together it is only n question
of time until the movement will be
made political issue, and then will
come the desired improvements
The argument offered in favor of the
improved roads is that they lessen the
cost Of repairs, make it possible TO haul
the largest amount of goods with the
smallest animal power, save time and
increase property valuations. No rail
road company would expect to do busi-
ness if its tracks and roadbed were in
such condition as to make it either i'm
possible to use the tracks at long sea-
sons of til" year or in using them have
to lose a great deal of time and have
immense repairs TO make, and yet that
is what the farmers and others using
the common roads are doing in COM
parative way every day in the year.
They make the most impracticable
attempts at road building and repair
ing and thcn wonder why there is no
profit in their products, which have
been hauled over bad roads at the
greatest expense. 1t has been estimat-
ed that III the states where the stone
roads have been built the cost of trans
p0rtatiOn has been decreased to 20 per
cent of the former figures and that the
roads pay for themselves within Il few
years. 1t has been further shown that
the amount lost in the different ways
mentioned will more than pay for the
building and repairs of these roads on
the annual assessments made for them
or that it costs no more each year to
have good roads than it does to have
bad ones.

y certain grocer on the hill has for

How Enrd RcrS Work.

Darwin after close observation found
that Il bee would often visit rs many
as 81 flowers in the course of Il minute,
though With other plants in which the
honey WAS difficult 20 extract the aver
age would he rs low as seven Strik-
ing n mean between these two figures,
one may say that an ordinary working
bee visits - flowers a minute or 900
an hour. Considering the late hours to
which bee works, it is probably no
eXaggcration to say that it is busy for
eight hours day, allowing for inter-
walls of rest. This would make it visit
1900 flowers a day, or GiS.GO0 in a pc
ripd of six months.
Mr.. A s. Wilson in q recent paper
showed the enormous amount of labor
gone through by bees in making even
a small quantity of honey. He found
that approximately 125 heads of red
clover yield - grains of sugar, or 125.-
600 heads about two pounds. AS each
head contains some 60 fiOrctS, ii fol-
lows that 100000 distinct flower

While the population of India cannot
be reckoned as loyal in the sense in
which the Canadians and Australians
are loyal. their native soldiers fight
faithfully for the empire when called
upon to do so.
1t is natural that Lord Roberts should
turn to the fighting Sikhs of India to
strengthen the cavalry arm of his
South African army. He has served
at their side and commanded them in
the years that brought him honors and
fame-and they won their Share-along
the northwest frontier of India, in At
ghaniStan and even across the seas in
Abyssinia.
The SikhS. DograS, .JatS and RajputS
are among the best fighting men in the
world, yet for good reasons the "domi-
nant race" has never countenanced the
thought of pitting them against white
men. The memory of the mutiny is
one.
Queen Victoria has 10000 British
troops in her Indian army. but 5000 of
these are in South Africa shut up with
Sir George White in LaGysmith. The
native army numbers about 10000
men. In Bengal are 10 native cavalry
regiments, of which nine are IanccrS.
Bombay has seven native cavalry rcg-
mentS, of which three are lancerS. The
Puniab has four native cavalry regi-
mentS. Madras has three native regi-
mentS of lancers, and there are per-
haps 5000 or 1000 other troops irregu-
larly organized in various commands.
There are. therefore, in the regular es-
tabishment 33 well trained native cav
airy regiments, of which - are lancers.
The native cavalry regiment usually
consists of four squadrons. 1t has
eight British officers, one medical otfi-
Ger, II native officers and COS nOncom-
missioncd officers and men.
If Indian troops are taken to South
Africa, the Beers will find themselves

COST OF BAD ROADS.

EApcnsc of NTuloEe Is Only II POr-
ti0n of the Actual Loss.
AS the road is Il type of civilized So
cicty it becomes the duty of every en-
lightpnch nation to solve the great
questions Of road construction and
maintenance to its own satisfaction
and good. ROmr'S greatness marked
an era in road construction which was
never before surpassed and which has
been cQua!pd only in the present cen
tury and in the most civilized coun-
tries. The condition of the public
roads in the United States is probably
worse than in any other civilized coun-
try in the world. This condition is due
largely not only to the undevcloped
condition of the country and to the al
lowing of local circumstances to deter
mine location, etc, but to the lack Of
knowledge on the part of many road
officials as 10 the primary principles of
road construction, resulting in the in
judiciouS use of millions of dollars Of
the public money annually.
Quoting an eminent authority, the in
creased cost of haulage actually done
is by no means the only loss resulting
from bad roads. The loss of perish
nble products for want of access to
market, the failure to reach markets
when prices are good and the failure
to cultivate products which would be
marketable if markets were always
accessible add many millions to the
tax of bad rO1lS not to SnpoE Of tho
