STATE AID IN ILLINOIS.
Principal Features of Bill Now Bea
fore the State Legislature at
Springfield Are COmmendabIe.

The necessity for good, hard roads
in Illinois is universally recognized.
h difficulty of securing good roads
under our present road laws is admit
ted. The experience of Illinois farm
ers in the last 80 years and the good
roads agitation of the last ten years
have formed in this state a decided
public sentiment in favor of a reason
able expenditure for macadamized
highways.
The recent heavy snow has added
strength to this sentiment. In the
regions where there was a heavy fall
there was at once great activity in
the transportation of all sorts Of sup
plies from neighborhoods which had
previously been under a mud block.
ade- But unfortunately the snow did
not afford relief to the districts in
the central and southern parts of the

STATE AID ROAD IN N7W YORK.
state, which most needed relief. This
has been the experience of hundreds
of productive neighborhoods foI
years, and it will continue to be the
experience until there is a general
system of good roads connecting the
country districts with points on rail
ROADS.
1t may be assumed that the people
of Illinois are ready to begin the
work of road building. They have
begun it, but the results lave not
been satisfactory because they did
not begin at the beginning. The
first steps must be taken in the leg
islature. The old laws of so years
standing must give place to laws
framed to meet present conditions
and the popular demand.
Two bills have been introduced in
the Legislature to meet this demand.
These hard-road bills have been pre-
pared under the direction of agents
OF the United States department of
agriculture. They provide for a state
engineer of roads to give advice and
suggestions on road drainage and
construction. The several townships
are to determine by a vote the gener-
al character, extent and location of
hard roads to be built. Then the
state engineer of roads is to furnish
plans and see that the roads are
built-not loosely, as under the pres
ent methods, but on approved sci
entific plans. After the roads are
built the state is to contribute ten
dollars per mile a year toward the
cost of maintenance. The state, by
general taxation, is to pay, moreover,
one-half the cost of building the
roads.
The principle of the bills is that
the people of any township shall
have the power to decide for or
against road improvements. If they
decide in favor of hard roads, then
h county and the state are to bear
each its proportion of the expense of
construction, and the state a fair
tanning the roads. This is on the
plan followed in other states, the
contention being that is the roads
are used by all, and are for the bene-
fit of all, it is unfair to ask the peo-
pie of a single township to bear the
full burden of road taxation. The
best point in the new bills is the pro-
vision as to competent direction in
road building and as to the respon-
sibility for deciding upon the neces-
sity for good roads in any particu.
lar township.
With these new bills enacted into
law, it is estimated, from one-half to
two-thirds of the present road tax
can be dispensed with. It is con-
tended that the question of material
in districts where there is no gravel or
stone is not so difficult of settlement
as supposed. The north and south
railroads, which carry coal to mar
kets and send back empty trains, are
said to be willing to make a6van.
tageous terms for the transportation
of stone and gravel southwark.
This would put the counties having
no road materials nearly OF a level
with those that have. Among all the
measures introduced in the legisla-
ture, few are more important than
the Curtis hard-road bill.-Chicago

Wherein Dairy Cows Differ.

Experiments have shown that COW.
differ in two important matters; in the
amount of food required and in
the application of the surplus OF
food consumed above the required
food of support. The most profit
able COW uses all the surplus in
milk production. Other cows are
profitable in proportion as they use lit
tie or much of this surplus in adding
useless (from the dairyman's stand
point weight to their own ~carcasses.
All the food used to build up weight
not needed comes out of what would be
net profit in the case of the best type
of dairy cow.
