CHANGE BADLY NEEDED.
Our Road System, rs Now In yogno
in MO.t States, IL the Worst
Kind of Failure.

With the ground full of water when,
it froze up and with fairly open win

sis placed upon the good roads problem.

lished free delivery mail routes. When
the patrons are shut in for three or
four days at time without their MALL.
the roseate hue of the new system
begins to fade away. The establish
ment Of centralized school systems
will present still another argument
for road improvement. In many sec
tions of the prairie the pavement of
roads with stone or even gravel is very
expensive owing to lack of such ma
terials in those localities. Very great
improvement may, however, be made
with the materials at hand. Dirt roads
can be made that will be passable un-
der practically all kinds of weather and
that, during the greater part of the
year, will be very good roads. One OF
the most universal failings of our roads
is lack of proper undertakings. This
is the first essential of good road, re-
gardless of the kind of material used
for the surface. Stone or any other
kind of paving will not keep in shape

water taken up thereby can persolate.
the old mudhole without bottom will
be thing of the past. Perhaps the
next most important step in the Sc
curing of better roads is provision
whereby they will have constant at
tentlon and repairs will be made
promptly before the disorder becomes
extensive. This will involve the abol-
ishment of the old-fashioned system
whereby the road work is done by the
farmers when they have nothing else
to do, and will involve also the payment
of the road taxes in cash and the en-
ployment of competent man by the
year, who will devote his whole time to
the work, and, with 6 crew of mencon-
stantly at work, will repair defects
whenever and wherever they occur.
and such improvements as are made
will be made at the time when the
work can be done the most economical
ly and the best results be obtained.
rather than when it suits the convent
ence of those performing the work.
This change of system has been tried
in number of places in different states
and is found entirely satisfactory and
to give much better results than the
old method. One of the,chief stumbling
blocks in the way of inaugurating this
new system is the objection on the
part of the farmers to paying their
road taxes in cash. but when they
once try it they prefer it to the old
way. 1t is the universal experience
that the same expenditure of money
gives far better road service under
this system. Those who have the time
and would prefer to work out their,
taxes can offset the cash payment by
hiring out to the road engineer for
such time as they may choose. Few
realize how much more effective road
work is when done at the right time.

DEMOCRATIC POLITICS.
dlities by II Leading Member
of the Party.

Senator Teller has been interviewed
In New York on the political situation,
and he tells some new things which may
Or may not be welcome to his demo-
cratic friends. Parker, he says, is
stronger in the west than he is in his
own state or III the east in general.
Cleveland, he declares, is an impossible
lty, which will be bad news for the
Clique which is trying to start a boom
for him. Bryan, so Teller says is not
an aspirant for denomination, but, "he
Will continue as national democratic
leader and will be big, factor in the
convention" This is something which
will not please the section of the democ-
racy to which he impaired this Informal
ton, says the st. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat.
Perhaps the senator is out of touch
with politics. This will possibly be the
explanation which the Clevelandites
will give to his poor opinion of the ex-
presidents chances. There is no doubt
at all. however, that he is right in say
ing that Bryan will be big factor in
the convention of 1904. Whether he
goes there as a delegate or not, his
influence will be potent in that gather
ing. The man who rolled up 100000
more votes than did his immediate
predecessor on the ticket. and that
predecessor Cleveland, is too great
figure to be cast aside because he was
beaten twice in succession in his can
yaSS for president. Any other man
whom the democrats would have nom
mated would have been beaten in those
years. Bryan got more votes in 1896
and 1900 than could have been obtained
by any other democratsin the country.
Bryan will be the ghost at every
feast of the democratic reorganizers
between now and the day of the cleo
ton in 1904. The Cleveland. Hill. Cor
man, Parker and Olney factions of the
democracy know that Bryan is against
all of them. They are aware that he
would rather see Roosevelt orany other
republican elected than see the aspir-
ant OF any one of those factions win.
Bryan himself makes this pretty plain
in all his interviews, and in all his lead
ers in the Commoner. The democracy
for which he stands is entirely differ
ent from tina: represented by any of
those elements. Senator Teller knows
this, and so does every other sensible
democrat in the country. There will
be halcyon and vociferous times in the
democratic convention and canvass of
1904.

NO TINKERING OF THE TARIFF.
Sccretary Root Protests Against Re-
vision at Any Time, Unless Alb
sOluteIy Needed.

Elihu Root. secretary of war, spoke
before the Home Market club, of Bos-
ton, against the proposition that re-
vision of the tariff be undertaken at
this time, OF al any time unless the
need of it was clearly shown, says the
Albany Journal.
He began with the statement that
revision is favored by that class which
is always opposed to whatever is, by
some who sincerely believe that re-
vised tariff would produce even better
results than that which is now in force,
and by the democrats who desire a
change in the administration, and see
no better way to attempt to bring it
about than to clamor for change in
the tariff system.
Mr.. Root then proceeded 10 direct at
tention to the certainty that this coun-
try has become phenomenally prosper
Gus under the protective system, and
assumed that the people of the United
States wanted prosperity to continue.
The question whether under another
tariff law than that which is in force
the country might not have prospered
or the question whether in the future
the country might not prosper under
another law. is not one that presses for
consideration.
The fact to be considered is that at
its very inception any step toward re-
vision of the tariff would bring doubt
and dread to every citizen having ma
terial interests at stake. Through
CROPPING after vague possibilities of i'm
provement the good that we have
would be ieopardized.
Moreover. if the tariff were revised,
it would not be uniformly satisfactory.
No tariff law ever can be that. The
interests of the different sections of
this country are too various.
The question is" said the speaker.
whether there are really existing
evils to be cured as great as the evils
to be endured from the long and diff
cult process of revision"
Whenever it may appear clearly that
changes in the tariff are advisable.
then changes will be made, but a the
proper time and in the proper manner.
Revision. if undertaken al ALL should

trusted only to the friends of protec
ton. so thatthe essential principle may
not be disturbed. In conclusion, Mr.
Root said:
"If the American people are ready to
abandon the principle of protection
and face the crash and downfall of
our present prosperity, which would
Immediately result, then they should
hand the revision over to the demo-
cratic party. and that is the meaning of
the men who are crying: Revise the

What they really mean is. abandon the
principle of protection, in order 10 de-
stroy the trusts. and make all Amer
lean producers take their stand on an
equal footing with foreign compete
ton"
Secretary Roots utterances are of
special Importance, since it is generally
understood that they express the
views of the administration and fore
shadow firm resistance to any and all
attempts to bring about resumption of
.aritf-tinkering during the sessions of
the next congress.

The Good Roads Movement.

In Athens county, o., the farmers
prior tc election day were red-hot
against piling. On election day it
rained. Water and red clay carried
the day for good roads. Now the farm
ers could not be induced to go back
to the old mud-road system. If we
only realized how much better our
roads might be made by careful, in
telligent expenditure of the road
money now available, there would be
more iudicious selection of super
v:cors. We annually throw millions of
dollars into our roads, Il large per cent
of which is wasted. Yet we begrudpa
the small additional tax that would
make transportation the year round
possible and profitable. BY our
wretched roads we annually lose
enough to build good ones, and vet
do not complain of the tax. Count the
cost and good roads will win-Farm

TESTING MILK COWS.
1t Is One of the Most Important Prob
lens Connected with Scientific
DairyinE.

The problem of COW testing con-
tinues to be one of the most impor-
tant of the problems connected with
dalrylng. 1t is a problem also in
which is bound up much of the fu-
ture success of dairy operations in
this country. The first work has
been and is to get the farmers to
wake up on this matter and to realize
that they have some cows that are
being kept at a loss. But after the
cow owners are stirred up to the i'm
Portance of this matter, we still have
to consider the best ways of testing
cows and tn methods that are to
give certain results. In the begin
ming of the agitation. even the scien-
lists themselves knew comparatively
little of the fat contents of milk and
the variation of the proportion of fat
contests in the daily yield of milk.
AT first man that wanted to pur-
chase cow would go out to the farm
where she was kept, weigh one milk
ing, test the milk and buy or not on
the strength of that test. Now we
have learned that one milking shows
but little and that one test is littlet
be relied on. Cows vary enormously
IN short period as to their milk Civ
ing. A. j. Glover, who has been test
ing hundreds of cows in Illinois, saws
that some of the variations are re-,
markable in this respect. One COW
gave only two per cent. milk at one
milking, but at the next her milk
tested As per cent. Over short pe-
RODS therefore the test is unreliable
but over long periods it is exceeding
ly accurate. This is one of the i'm
portant pieces of information one
must possess in testing cows. How
long the periods of testing must be
to give reliable results has NOT been
determined, but it is considered that
a test covering a month is fairly ac-
curate, but to find out what a cow
is really worth the tests should con
tinue off and on for year. This
may seem to mean Il great deal of
work, but ii does not 1t merely
means the saving of sample of milk
every day fer perhaps weeks, keep
ing it by the help of some preserva-
tive, and testing it at one time. This
is composite samplins and testing
and Is an easy way of solving hard
problem. The science of COW testing
is one in which all cow owners are in
terested. and its elaboration means
the improvement of all our dairy
herds.-Fariner5' Review.
