DIVIDING THE BURDEN.
The Good Roads Subject Involves the
Problem of just and Equitable
Taxation

Although the rapid growth of rail-
ways in the United States has rendered
unnecessary, to some extent, the con-
struction of hard roads, advocates of
good roads hold that we have reached
stage in our history when better
country highways are necessary to our
commercial and agricultural progress.
Farmers, as a class, are not enthusi-
asts over the good roads movement.
They feel that the expense to them
would be greater than the gains. In
the prairie states of the west, where
there is little or no gravel, the cost of
the improvement is greater than in the
east, and it has not been safe there for
any rural legislator to proclaim him
self an advocate of good roads. If the
cost of the improvement, however,
were distributed according to the ben
eft received, as is supposed to be the
theory upon which city pavements are
laid, the farmer might see the question
in different light. It is claimed that
the largest benefit from good country
roads would inure to the owners of city
property. The change would mean
more visits of the farmer to town and
more business to the merchant.
In order to win :he farmers coopera-
tion in the movement, therefore, it is
held that he should be made to under
stand that he will be asked to pay for
good roads only in the measure that
they benefit him, and that city owners.
including thesholders Of railroad and
other franchises, will be required to
bear theirafun share OF. the expenses.
The good roads subject involves, as
most Others do, the one of equitable
taxation-Buffalo Courier. =. y, .,.s

FEEDING AND BREEDING.
The Two Go Hand in Hand in Inn
proving the Value and Indi-
viduality of Cows.

To what extent does feed affect the
individuality of COW? This is
question that has yet to be answered,
so far as conclusive experiments are
concerned. It is doubtless true that
feed is constantly changing the char
acteristics of animals, but we do not
know how rapidly the changes take
place, nor do we know just the effect
each food has. To certain extent we
are feeding in the dark. The Maryland
experiment. station has been feeding
herd of common COWS for several years
and noting the effect of proper feed
ing on individuality. C. F. Doane, who
reports on the results, says: "No very
material results could be noticed the
first year from the extra feed and care
the herd received, but through SUBJ
sequent years there seems to be
steady improvement. Judging from
the records of these COWS, it is ques-
tion if the quality of a dairy cow does
not depend almost as much Oh the
feeding as on the breeding. It is also
question if COWS that have more or
less pronounced beer tendency, or, at
least, would not be called good mate
rial from which to build up a dairy
herd, cannot, with proper manage
ment, be developed into profitable
dairy cows" This is view of the mat
ter that will not strike some of our
investigators very favorably. It has
against it the generally accepted truth
that we have now so many good dairy
COWS that it will hardly pay to spend
time, feed and effort in an attempt to
reverse a tendency already strongly
developed in direction opposite to
that of milk oduction.-Farmers' Re-

PERSONS conscience" was the gloomy
response. "a man rode uptown in our
car the other night that deserves a
niche in history. It was on his ac-

and my best pair of shoes. He got
on the car at Thirty-seventh street
and sat down on the frontvseat, fac

conductor did not come around right
away to take up his fare.
"The man wanted to change to a
cross-tpwn car at Forty-second

conductor TO come up and get his
nickel, but that public servant was
huddled up comfortably on the rear
platform and never budged. When
we reached Forty-second street he
had still failed to materialize and the
man with a conscience was beside

"He couldn't make up his mind

he liked still less to leave the car

FOREST FIRE LANES.
Their Construction Very Materially
Reduces the Danger of Great and
General COnfiaRrations.

It is generally recognized through
out Europe that the construction of
suitable fire lanes throughout the for
est conduces more to the prevention of
great confagratio than any other
institution. These serve as vantage
points in the fighting of fire and often
in themselves are sufficient to prevent
it's spread. By means Of fire lanes the
country is cut into parcels and the
danger of great confagrations very
materially reduced. These fire lanes,
in order to be efficient, must be wide,
clean and we'll cared for; otherwise
they are of little use.
Fire lanes may be constructed at
slight expense. After the wood is cut
it is necessary to plow three or four
burrows along the edges and then to
burn over the lane at times when there
is no danger of setting fire to the
neighboring woods. A lane so feet in
width would be quite efficient.
The scheme which have to suggest
is that these fire lanes be constructed
and kept in order in way similar to
the construction of state roads, which
have been so popular of late. In this
way no terrible burden of expense
rests upon anybody. The individual

Denented thereby pays part, the cOun-
ty another part and the state pays the
remainder.
New Jersey was the first state to
take any radical step toward the i'm
provement of her public highways.
The state aid law provides that, on Pc
tition of the owners of two-thirds of
the lands bordering any public road,
not less than mile in n>length, asking
that the road be improved and agree
ing to pay ten per cent. of the cost, the
county officials shall improve the road,
one-third of the expenses to be borne
the standard fixed by the state COM
missioner of public roads, and the bal
ance-66 2-3 per cent.-by the county.
The states expenditures for such i'm
provements in any one year are linn
tied to $150,00O, while the county is linn
tied to one-fourth of one per cent. of
it's assessed valuations Since 1895 the
applications for new roads have been
far in excess of the limit prescribed by
law.
It seems to me that it would be a
simple process to extend this system
to the construction of fire lanes. It is
foolish to talk of forest culture until
fires are reduced in number. For this
purpose fire lanes are essential, and
this is the only scheme know of
which seems practical and possible
Once institute perfect system of fire
lanes under combined state and local
control, and the number and severity
of fires will be reduced to such an ex-
tent that the evil will, I am certain,
gradually fade away, and modern sys-
TENS of silviculture will gradually
creep in as the value of wood and land
increases, said DR.. John Clifford before

The Cow Which PAYS Rest

During the five years of careful in

production of butter between COWS

carrying considerable superluous tis-
sue, our records show that in every
instance the COW that carried the
least flesh charged the least for but

was little smoother and plumper
than the other would her butter
product cost more than the other. 1t
should be borne in mind that the re-
suits are from accumulated testi-
mony, showing not only that every
day, every week, every month, but
during her entire lifetime, the spare
cow is better. That she should be so
much better is almost incredible,
