luton in all farming meth
ods Now a man can with
ease do the work in a day that used
to take him three or four days to per-
form. By means of the improved ma
chinery and scientific methods the
progressive farmer has cheapened the
cost of his produce by half; the per-
fection of railway service takes his
surplus to the market in half the
time, with a freight charge Of one
fourth the tariff of thirty years ago.
There is more money now in fifty
cent wheat than there was in dollar
wheat then.
In every field of human activity in
this country, save one, there have
been and are being made giant
strides to multiply productivity,
lessen cost and add convenience. Shall
we not expect ere long that the top
wire of main fences will connect with
telephones and join farm to farm, and
these, in turn, to the town at the rail-
way, the county seat and the city?
But what shall we say of the roads
In these there has been practically
no advancement In fifty years. Wagon
transportation shows little, if any,
progress for century. Periodically
in every community the farmers go
out, and under the direction, or, more
properly, misdirection, of the path
master, plow up and destroy more or
less of the roads in working out their
annual poll tax. May we live to see
the end of this idiotic practice. Many
of our main Travelled roads have had
| more time and money thrown away
upon them in these annual fits of ''im-
proving than it would cost to build
and maintain a first class macadam
road. The necessity for good roads
is immediate and Imperative; expand
ing trade and the perfection of ocean
transportation have put American
grain into competition with the food
products of Crimea, India, Australia
and Argentina. In all of these coun-
tries American machinery and meth
DDS are no strangers, and all of the
economics known and practised here
are understood and employed there.
, IT, then, the American farmer is in
the future to hold the first position as
| the feeder of the world, he must still
further cheaper the cost of his pro-
duce In the worlds market. There
may be various ways to do this, but
there is one way so potent, SO pro-
nounced and self-evident that it out
ranks all the others, and that is to
build good roads, and thus reduce the
cost of transportation from the farm
to the railway by two-thirds No less
an authority than the United States
Bureau of Agriculture finds that it
often requires one-fourth of the farm
produce to pay for carrying the whole
from the farm to the railway. The
Secretary of Agriculture says: mo
permanent prosperity will or can
come to agriculture without good
roads," The cost of hauling from the
farm to the market is three or four
times more than the cost of similar
service in Europe, and is, at least.
| three times what the cost would be
here with good hard roads.-New York

Senator McComas has succeeded IN
having the physical disqualification of
Herman s. Turner for admission to
the Naval Academy waived, and the
young man has entered the school. He
is considerably more than six feet tall,
but was said to weigh less than 100
pounds. He was threatened with re.
ator came to his rescue and found
that Turner's father, a robust man,
was Of similar physique in his youth,
and that there was every reason to
believe that the new cadet would de-
velop into q strong man with the
physical training given at Annapolis

Met Half Way.

Under direction from Washing
ton, special agent of the Department
of Agriculture took up the question
of transporting road material with the
presidents of ten of the leading rail-
ways in Illinois. In every case they
expressed their willingness to haul
road material for this purpose at ac-
tual cost. One president said: 1--WE
will haul it on any terms required.
and If cost isn't low enough the far
mers may fix the tariff"

Bnd Eonds a Double Injury.

Bad roads work a double injury;
when the natural dirt roads are good,
the teams are usually wanted in the
fields. When the rain comes so that
the work is stopped in the fields, the
roads are often impossible. The fact
that prices are usually the best when
the roads are the worst Is one SO gen.
eral and SO often repeated as to be
well known to every one. In fact, the
scant supply is due to the embargo of
mud, which creates shortage in the
market, and this increases the price.
When the roads are good again. the
immense quantity of produce thrown
upon the market depresses the prices.
Bad roads are, in fact, the most eX-
pensive burden the farmer has to bear.
They require twice the horsepower.
twice the time and only one-half the
load as compared with good roads.
Transportation is really the great
est economic question of the age. In
no department of human activity has
there been q greater or perhaps so
great an advancement as in the rail-
way transpt "tation in this country.
The American railways have solved
the question of the most perfect SER
vice at the least possible cost. A
modern locomotive over modern
track will carry from 10000 to 100000
bushels of grain in a single train. We
can boast of the best railways-and
the worst public highways-of any
country on earth. ......-.

HOW 70 LIVE.

To the one past middle life, memory
unfold her pages One sees his youth az
If it was not his, but that Of another, and
is touched with sadness and pity as he
notes the ambitions, the plans, the high
hopes throbbing N that youthful breast
and knows that through that dear, but
thorough teacher, experience. how much
of this has failed, how one hope after
another has been laid aside. Life seems
but giving ap from day TO day. An
ticipations are seldom fully realized.
And is it best that they should be? Do
we know what is for our best good? We
know what we think wouid make sls
perfectly happy, but in how many cases
would it prove to do so, could we attain
our WISH Life is discipline. We must
be trained to higher and truer develop
ment. Happiness is not the chief aim
of life We must strive for the highest
good, and in that way will the most of
happiness come to us. Each, of us has
his little share in the great plan Of crea-
ton Each bears mis- share of response
bility in the universal progress. Are we
hindrances, blots on the beauty of erea-
ton? Or do we fit ourselves in our
places and add TO the harmony and per-
lection of life?
We are yet feeble in Judgment and
cannot always know just how TO trim
ourselves; we may not see exactly what
form we should take The vicissitudes
of life give us clipping here and there,
often in unexpected places, where we
think it little needed. We should not
grieve too deeply over these sha. ipgs
from the hands Of the Master. but work
ON with higher hopes, more steadfast
purpose. knowing that if rightly used
those experiences are molding us into
the more perfect life. milwaukee, Jour

Brain FOOD Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competent authori.
ties. They have dispelled the silly no.
ton that one kind of food is needed for
brain, another for muscles AMI still
another for bones. A correct diet will
not only nourish particular part of the
body, but it will sustain every other
part. Yet however good your food may
be, its nutriment is destroyed by indi-
gestion or dyspepsia. You must prepare
for their appearance or prevent their
coming by taking regular doses of
Green's August Flower, the favorite
medicine of the healthy millions. A
few doses aids digestion, mulates the
liver to healthy action, purifies tn
blood, and makes you feel buoyapt and
vigorous. You can get DR.. G. G.. Green's
