PROGRESS AND GOOD ROADS.
Two Things Needd tn Make This
Country what "a Ought to Re-
Value of Good Roads.

Good country roads.and good, prac-
teal agricultural education are the
two things needed to make this coun-
try, and especially the southwestern
portion of it, what it ought to be.
With good country roads, says Farm
and Ranch, there would be free rural
mail delivery, and needed facilities
for reaching markets, shipping points,
and for social intercourse. making
business worth pursuing and III
worth living. With good roads
come personal enterprise and nearby
neighbors, until the land would all be
occupied with farms and rural homes.
Then would follow suburban rapid
transit. and city business men would
cease to swelter among superheated
brick. and breathe coal gas during the
hours of rest. and every one, as soon
as financially able. would establish
his feeding place and dormitory I'M
der the pure air of the country. The
poverty-strieken, the jewellers, and
the necessary police force, would
alone occupy the city during the
night. A country home without an
orchard or garden or farm would be
but little improvement over city ma
cadam. gravel or asphalt Therefore,
when intelligent and progressive bust
ness men come 70 the help of the
farmers there will be emulation and
progress, and agriculture will take on
additional charms. Then there would
be none left to oppose the teaching
of agriculture in all the public
schools. Then the banker. the mer-
chant. the manufacturer, the lawyer,
the physician and the teacher would
unite their voices with that of the
farmer in 4 general demand that the
art and science of living successfully
in the country districts be taught to
their children. The farmers of this
day need just such n stimulus as this
condition would supply.

prices they receive ~ wen - the
prices they pay. 1t might be better
for all parties II universal eompetf-
ton prevailed. but it does not. and
farmers should make the best Of the
conditions which they can not pre-
vent. This they are doing, but only
small per cent. of them partici-
pate. Cotton growers, fruit growers,
truck growers, nurserymen, florists.
cattle raisers, cattle breeders, swine
breeders, sheep breeders, wool grow
ers, and poultry breeders, have their
local and state associations, but
many individuals remain out of doors
as regards organization, and by 50
doing weaken the organizations in
tended for their benefit. and place
themselves at disadvantage in SELL
ing, buying. and shipping. Not the
least important benefit to be derived
from organization is the educational
advantages to be derived therefrom.
A farmer may learn much from his
own experience, but Of any two indi-
viduals the knowledge possessed by
both is greater than that possessed
by either. Therefore, II two farmers
meet and commune with each other
on farm topics, either both are bene-
flied or both are fools. When a num-
Der Of farmers meet to discuss SUBJ
jects in which all are interested. each
can learn on any subject all that is
known by all who discuss the sub
iect. Then, If those who meet and
discuss are. as usual. the most sue
cessful, each in his particular line.

themselves all the benefits to be de-
rived from organized effort. are the

old circular dining table was placed
in the center of the structure upon
three stakes driven into the groond.
Three wooden pegs Il inches high
formed an equatorial triangle in the

gallons was placed and nearly filed
with water. The milk vessels were
cans IL inches high and Folding about
two and one-half gaIlors each. For
each can a bag was made of coarse
cotton cloth, which loosely fitted the
cans, and the cans inserted in the
bags and placed in a circle on the
table, and the loose ends of the bags
twisted and tossed over the edge of
the tub and into the water. The
bags, before putting the cans of milk
into them. were dipped into water.
and wrung. These bags would take
up the water from the tub and re-

August. and the evaporation would
keep the milk perfectly sweet for

lSpeclal 10 The AQVertlSer.I
 NEW ORLEANS. Jan. 24.-Liverpool re- sponded moderately to the steadiness of Ameri- can markets. Deliveries quoted 2la-64 higher with spots market up ll6 and the tone called hardening. The ability of the Eng fish market to advance in the face of an &C., cumulated stock of about 300. 900 bales in ex- cess of last year. rather indicates more sub stantial support to values than the mere ca price of speculation. and in view of this con- dition. the impression Is becoming firm ly rooted that actual trade requirements this season greatly exceed present calculations.
 On this side, the undertone remained de cidedly steady. Fluctuations were Occasioned in accordance with the different nterpreta- tons of the weekly statistics, but in the net result better feeling prevailed and prices well sustained.
 Closing quotations are 2a3 points higher than yesterday.
 The amount in sight this week of American cotton is 57, 900 bales larger than last year, notwithstanding which the visible supply shows a relative decrease of 97. 900 bales compared with last year. Thus bears are gaining confidence in their ideas about the size of the crop. while the belief is becom- ing more pronounced amongst bulls that con- sumption is about equal to if not overtakins the supply.
 Under these circumstances, it is likely that the dispute between both sides about the level of price will continue quite vigorous.
