The Need oi Gooh Konh..

Good roads are business necessity,
not only to the farmer, but to every
municipality, industry and enterprise,
and all would be equally benefited by
improved highways. This proposi
tion is not without supporting evi
dence, which eau be accumulated in
abundance. The farmer who must
haul to n distant market the products
of his acres finds that such transporta
tion is excessively expensive in time
and labor involved and in the main
tenance of vehicles aud beasts OF
burden. All this increases the selling
cost of the product, without comforting
any compensating benefit upon any
body. Consumers everywhere are
thus compelled to pay heavy iinc
for neglect of road Improvement. On
the contrary, if the public road
should be made solid, smooth and OF
easy grade hauls from the farm to tho
preferred market would be rendered
of shorter duration and physically
less difficult and the stock aud vehicle
account would be shortened.
These facts are so obvious that they
ought to appeal forcefulIy to every
progressive citizen. - PHILADELPHIA

NirEinla's Apple Trees.

Near Stuart, in Patrick County, al
the foot OF spur OF the Blue Ridge
Mountains, there is an apple treo
which measures nine feet five inches
around. Five feet from the ground
are four branches, the largest being
six feet around, the next five feet, the
smallest four feet five inches. The
tree is fifty-two feet high and seventy
one feet broad Although it Is about
seventy years old, it bore last year 4
very large crop. 1t has been known
TO produce 10 bushels in season,
and, as might be supposed, the soil
in which it grows is exceedingly rich
On neighboring farm there is an
apple tree which is eight feet tiva
inches around In 1880 eighty fvd
bushels of choice picked apples werd
gathered from it aud sold at the appl
house for sixty dollars. The tree is
seventy 1.-Two years old and is still
bearing.
Two miles from Stuart, on the farm
of j. w. Robertson, stands the famous
Robertson tree, the parent of all the

which keeps well, and it has pro-

The DEADLY Troe.

clared that one Of their wires had

"rhe tree" said he, "has been

ments in appliances for producing oil.

life. As rule, workers in the oil
field enjoyed large wages. l found
men working in Toledo for the frac-
tion of II dollar day. | began to
wonder how it was possible for men
to live on such small sum of money
in n way becoming citizens of free
republic. / studied social conditions,
and the inequality and injustice around
me led me to feel that some protest
should be made against the degrade
tion OF my fellow men. at once de-
clnred that the so called going wages
rule should not govern the Acme Sue
cor Rod Company. l said, rather,
that the rule that every man is en-
titled to such shareof the product OF

be the rule governing the wages of

The last remaining relic of the first
railway in London has just disap-
peared from public view, having fallen
wearily into the waters of the Wandle.
1t was in 1901, or nearly century
ago, that an act was passed authoriz-
ing the construction of a railway from
Wandsworth to Croydon, the sleepers
being of stone and horses the motive
power. The scheme included dock
at Wandsworth, and it is the ancient

and he can haul two-yes. three
times greater load in less time TO
market. and that he is richer and bet .
ter because OF the good road which con
meets his property with the neighbor-
ing town. In Europe the highway
was built before the railway. 1t was
their only means Of communication
until within the last sixty years. Al
terward the railway came, and their
system of highways was found so use
ful that they have been kept up, and.
indeed, improved.
II has been claimed that we do not
need better highways because of our
excellent system of railways. This is
absurd. Every pound of freight which
is carried by the railways, except such
as is loaded at factories, quarries,
mines, etc, at side tracks, must first
be carried over our highways. Every
passenger who travels on the railway
must, to reach the railway, first pass
over some portion OF the highways. 1t
can safely be said that the highways
of this country carry more passengers
and more freight than the railways,
but of course for a shorter distance.
General Roy Stone when he was En-.
gineer-in Chief of the Department OF
Agriculture, said that the annual cost
of hauling in this country over the
highways was 1916, All, 665. General
Stone estimated that nearly two thirds
OF this vast expenditure is chargeable
to the bad condition of the roads.
Let us see what our neighborine
States have done to improve their high
ways. Several Of them in the past few
years have passed good roads laws.
The following data of the amounts,
spent by the States and counties nm.
der their good roads law, and the
miles of road improved is made mp
from returns of the authorities in the
different States named:

How does the great Empire State
OF New Yorl. compare with her sister
States in this matter? Something
over two years ago the Higbec Arm
strong bill for improving the high.
ways OF this State became law.
Under it the Legislature has made
two appropriations OF $50, 1000 each.
The State Engineers Office hus ad-
vised me that up to October ] 1899,
the State and counties had expended
SSS, 032 under this law, and they had
completed seven and half miles of
road and had seventeen miles in pro.
cess OF construction. He reports
since the Higbeo- Armstrong bill went
into effect he has received 12l peti.
tions for the improvement of high
ways, aggregating about 625 miles; in
other words, the counties and local
people stand ready to pay their half
of the cost Of 62I miles of road, and
all that remains ic for the State to
appropriate their half under the pro
visions of the Higbee- Armstrong bill.
1t has been estimated thnt there is
something moro than $1,000, 900 II
year spent IN the State of New York
in repairing the highways. The usual
method of repairing roads is to pow
up ditch and scr0pe the silt, grass
and roots which are there up on the
road. The first time there is hard
rain much of this goes back into the
ditch and very large part of this an.
nual expenditure of over $3, 600, 600 is
simply money thrown away.
What does the State propose to do
for good roads? They are little arteries
which bring the blood of trade to the
railways and the canals. If these
arteries are poor aud il the circula-
tion of trade is sluggish the useful.
ness of great railways and great canal
systems Of the State are greatly i'm.
