OF the several cases decided TODAY

case is considered the most far reach

whereas the Delima case dealt with
the TRANSITIONAL phase of our insular
relations
Inc court was very evenly divided
on both cases, but political lines
were not at all controlling.

Some Startling Figures.

Charles T. Harrison, United States

Gently:
AS a result of 10000 inquiries sent
out by our office in 1895, figures have
been compiled that are startling in
their conclusions. The most conserva-
tive estimates based upon these figures
show that the total of the farm and for
est products hauled over the country
roads amounts to over 300, 100000 tons
and that the average cost of transport
ing IT Is SO ton, or total annual cost
for transportation Of nearly $950,000,-
600. This enormous charge is paid
principally by the farmers of the coun-
try annually, and of this amount the
figures obtained from other coun-
tries where good roads are the rule In
stead Of the exception show that fully
two-thirds Of this amount, or about
5000, 100000, is due to the poor roads.
In other words. the farmers are paying
about $6O0.0OO,0 900 mud tax each year.

RAILWAYS AND HIGHWAYS.
How the Former Are BENEFITED by
Improved Roads.

The Illinois Central railroad has
started very practical movement in
this section in the interest of good
roads, says the New Orleans Times
Democrat. 1t is one that will have,
We feel confident, the support of all
and will be followed by the other COM
panies as well. 1t is needless to point
out that a railroad is benefited by good
roads in the country it runs through.
Whatever brings prosperity to the
tributary region of course brings bust
ness and prosperity to it,
Good roads allow produce for ship
ment by the railroad to be brought
much longer distance and in better
condition than otherwise possible. If
the roads are bad. it will scarcely pay
to haul goods more than IL or Is miles
they will not bear longer transporta-
tion-but if the highways are well
maintained these same goods can be
hauled % and 80 miles at no greater
cost But while it is undoubtedly to
the interest of the companies to look
after the highways and make sure that
they are maintained in good order, the
railroads have generally so much other
work to attend to that they can scarce
ly give time and attention TO this mat
ter which cannot be regarded as a
part of their legitimate duties.
The good roads movement shows
great strength in the north, where
practical test has proved that road
way will pay for itself in two years
that is, the profit of the farmers from
the cheaper hauling will in two years
exceed the original cost of the high
little in this matter as yet, for which
reason the work of the Illinois Central
will be all the more appreciated.

the ears thoroughly and as quickly as
possible and keeping them dry all win
ter.
The storage room is especially impor-
tant, the prime requisite being absolute
dryness. A room over the kitchen, a
Slated bin in the granary or barn, will
answer nicely. The matter Of next i'm

that the air can circulate freely. Hang

for small lots, but where large quaint

satisfactory. The shelves should be
