WHAT BAD ROADS COST.

we are now passing through one OF
the two periods Of the year when tho

prominently to the front and becomes
q living issue with everyone who has
not paved streets and improved side.
walks to pass over. There is no state
in the union in which the question can
be ignored, for there is no state in
which the country roads in the open
ing of spring and the beginning of win-
ter are in reasonably passable condi-
ton. Agricultural interests every
where are the heaviest sufferers from
the wretched conditions of the coun-
try. roads. just how much they have
suffered from this cause they have
never been able to estimate. Had they
had any conception of the extent Of
their losses, it is probable they would
have exerted themselves long ago to
bring about radical change and
would have supplied themselves with
good roads irrespective of the first
cost of the work, which is decidedly
the heaviest portion of it.
What they have failed to do for
themselves in the matter of estimates
the agricultural department has ac-
complished for them. 1t set corps
of experts to ascertain the actual con-
ditions and to estimate the direct
losses suffered by the farming COM
munities through the lack of perma-
nent country highways easily passable
at all seasons of the year and in all
conditions of the weather. These ex-
perts have estimated that it costs
$946, 900 900 a year to haul the farm
products of the United States from
the farms to points of rail or water
shipment. This is far in excess of the
freight charges levied by the trans
portation companies, and the experts
say the amount might be reduced two
thirds if every section of country were
furnished with good roads. The exc
perts further estimate that the value
of the country's farms and farm prop
erty would be enhanced by $4,000, 000,-
900 by the construction of permanent
highways through every county and
township in the United States.
According to the estimates of these
experts the average wagon haul from
farm to point of shipment is from SO
to 60 miles, and the cost per wagon
load is $1.s9 in the northern and east
ern states. In the prairie and the
southern states the average haul is s.s
miles and the cost per wagon load is
$2.72. The average cost of hauling
farm products from the farms to the
point of shipment over the entire
United States is 25 cents per ton per
mile. The railroads charge less than
half a cent per mile per ton for haul
ing these products to market, or about
one-fftieth the amount it costs the
farmers themselves to deliver the
goods to the railways. These figures
show how extremely shortsighted the
agricultural communities are in per-
hitting their highways to remain as
they are at present. The difference in
the cost of improving the country
roads and of hauling over them as they
are, if saved, as it might very well be,
would make them rich in a very few
years.-Chicago Evening Post.

THE EFFECT OF MUSIC.
GA Experiments witch Have Ne
sslted IN seas lateressine
OeA9etloao.' 81

A series of tests have been made
with the ergograph, which is an instru-
ment to be applied to the muscles Of
the hands and arms, to induce and
measure fatigue. Until taken up by
neurologists the ergograph has been
used in the Psychological study Of
school children, says the Catholic
World. 1t consists of two clamps de-
signed to hold the wrist and forearm
firm, and q tubular contriyance to hold
all but one finger straight. The free
finger is then hooked into small
strap. having weight at the other
end. In the experiment the subject
is instructed to crook the finger as
long as he can. The vitality is shown
by the length of time the subject can
continue the exercise, and the capacity
for being taught is supposed to be in
dicaetd by the pupil. And here comes
in the influence of music, for it has
been found by experimenting that mu-
sic played during the tests had pro-
duced variations in the results which
can be accounted for in no other way.
For example, lively airs played on the
harp seemed to inyigorate the patient
and enable him to keep up the exer-
else for much longer time. but dreary
melodies decreased the vitality and
rendered the patients arm almost
powerless. The deductions reached by
the physicians interested in the ex-
periments were that musical rhythm
increased the physical well-being Of
the patients and might be rendered q
powerful means Of curing them.

Forestry work in the East.

During the past year the state Of
Pennsylvania has purchased more
than 100000 acres of land to be used
as forestry reservation. The policy
of using land that is not adapted to
agriculture for the purpose of timber
culture has been adopted by both
Pennsylvania and New York, the OBJ
jects being to insure a necessary
measure of rainfall to preserve the
purity of mountain streams, to pro-
vide for the even flow of streams, the
power of which is utilized by manu-
features and the like.

HAS A SOCIAL SIDE.
The Good Roads question Il. Not .
Mere Financial Proposition, as
Many Suppose.

On the ''social side'' of the road
question w. II. Moore, of St. Louis,
Mo-, president of the National Good
Roads association, writes:
The common roads of country are
not only necessary to its develop
ment, but their condition is a meas
ure of it's civilization. The highest
type of mental and moral culture
and development cannot be attained
without the means of easy and rapid
communication between all parts and
sections of the country. The rail-
way and telegraph lines are the great
modern civilizers of the world; but
they are limited in their sphere of
usefulness, because they do not reach
the farm, the home, the country
schoolhouse and church. The COM
mon road is the connecting link be-
tween these, and without it the prog
ress of widespread civilization must
of necessity be greatly retarded.
They are the foundation stones upon
which the superstructure of society
is erected and upon which it's SYM
metry, beauty and stability must
rest.
1t has been stated by eminent
writer's that railway and telegraph
lines, with the wonderful commercial
enterprises they make possible, are
in the end detrimental to country
that has no proportionately adequate
system of common highways, because
of their tendency to congest the pop
ulation by drawing the intelligent
and ambitious portion of the country
youths to the cities and centers of
commercial enterprise, until the av-
enues of that class of labor are over
crowded, the wages of labor de-
creased by undue and unnatural COM
petition, Sand the surplus set adrift
without the means of livelihood. to
become beggars and criminals, in.
stead Of delving in the soil from
which the primary wealth of the
world is secured, and in which avoca-
ton there has never yet been sur
plus of labor.
Then, too, it is the youthful, In
telligent, rugged and ambitious who
are thus being. coaxed from the farm,
whose society is needed to; stimulate
the sluggish, who are always content
to see the worlds great cavalcade go
by while they remain in slothful iso-
lation. If these conditions continue,
there il danger of barrier being
built up that will destroy that SYM
pathy, intelligence and cooperation
that are SO necessary in our mutual
II dependent condition.
Neighborhoods, counties and states,
separated from each other by bar
riers Of practically impossible roads,
in their loneliness degenerate into
. condition of moral stagnation from
which it is difficult to arouse them to
. common and mutual interest and
understanding. gs4 ~ 4
