How to Get the Largest Re-
turns from Your Land.
Ii. President on Good Roads.

e. o.
In his address before the National
Good Roads convention, PRESIDENT
Roosevelt spoke in part as foiiows:
'The railway is something purely
modern. Now, great many excellent
people have proceeded upon the as
sumption that, somehow or other, hav-
ing good railways are a substitute Tor
having good highways-good ordinary
roads. A more untenable position can
not be imagined. What the railroad
does is to develop the country, and, OF
course, it's development implies that the
country will need more and better
roads.
"A few years ago 1T was a matter,
am tempted to say, of national humilia-
ton that there should be so little atten-
ton paid to our rOads-that there
should be a willingness not merely TO
refrain from making good roads, but to
let the roads that were in existence be-
come worse; and I cannot too heartily
congratulate our people upon the ex-
istence Of a body such as this. ramlfy-
ing into every section Of the country,
having its communications in every
sthte Of the country, and bent upon
this eminently practical work of maxi
inn the conditions of life easier and
better for the people who, of all others,
we can least afford to see grow discon-
tented with their lot in life-the people
who live in the country districts.
"'The excessive, the wholly unheard Of
rate Of our Industrial development dur
ing the last seventy-five years, together
with the good sides has had some evil
sides. It is fine thing to see our cities
built up, but not at the expense Of the
country districts. The healthy thing is
to see the building up Of both the city
and the country. But we cannot ex-
pect the best, the most eager, the most
ambitious young men to stay in the
country to stay on the farm, unless
they have certain advantages. If farm
life is a life in which it is a matter of
great difficulty for one man to COM
municate with his neighbor, you can
rest assured that there will be a ten
dency to leave it on the part of those
people whom we should most wish to
see stay on the farm.
ut Is a good thing to encourage in
every way any tendency to check an
unhealthy flow from the country to the
city. There are several tendencies in
evidence. The growth of electricity as
applied to means of transportation
tends to certain degree to offset the
centrfpetal force of steam. Exactly as
the uses Of steam have tended to gather
men into masses, so now electricity, as
applied to transportation, has tended to
scatter them out again. Trolley lines
running out into the country are doing
a great deal to render it possible to live
in the country, and yet not lose the adj
vantages of the town. The telephone
Is not to be minimized as an instru-
ment with a tendency in the same di-
rection. Rural free delivery is playing
its part along the same lines"

Inflammation durable? OF course, if

People often become afflicted with
piles and ask some old Chronic" who
has always persisted in the wrong
treatment, and naturally he dfscour-
ages them by telling them that their
case is hopeless.
They in turn discourage others, and
thus disease that can in every case be
cured by careful and skillful handling

aggravated case of hemorrhoids in an

Thousands who had resorted to ex-
pensive surgical treatment have been

number of instances persons who had
spent months in a hospital under a pile

finished, there is every reason to be sure
that the same class of trade can be
developed in American cities. This line
of work has been neglected by most Of
the experiment stations. Great poultry
raising sections like eastern New Eng
land, New York, and New jersey or
some of the prairie states, need special
instruction in this partly undeveloped
branch of the industry. There will be
good profits for poultrymen who

Special Poultry Fatteninq.

Comparatively little has been done in
this country toward development Of
trade in artiflcially fattened poultry.
In Europe the business is long estab-
lished and important, having become
the main agricultural industry of whole
sections.
Our Canadian neighbors have made a
good start, with every prospect of build
ing up a great export demand and a
good home market. In 1896 the value OF
the chickens that were shipped to Great
Britain was 1882; last year the value
of the chickens exported had increased
to $38,047. The price that chickens
bring in Great Britain is from IA to Is
cents a pound. The cost of sending
them there is 1 cent a pound from
Montreal. The Canadian home trade in
fattened chickens has also made SUBJ
stantial growth, and profitable prices
were paid for first class stock. 1t was
said that last August Montreal prod
uce merchant gave the dominion
department of agriculture a guarantee
that he would buy 100000 pounds of
fattened chickens, and agree to pay not
less than 10 cents q pound for each lot.
This guarantee had been carried out,
and the fattened chickens had made
such favorable impression in Montreal
that the produce merchant had in
creased his price to II cents a pound,
and has stated to the department that
he would buy any quantity OF first class
fattened chickens for II cents a pound.
He also offered the department II cents
a pound for three tons of fattened
chickens held in cold storage In
Montreal. Still later the price paid at
Montreal rose to IA cents. This price is
for large lots and for chickens plucked
but not drawn, which means the same
as ~ cents il drawn and headed, as
some markets demanded.
The increase in price shows no"
rapidly the public taste developed to
appreciate the improved quality OF
specially fed poultry. The meat Is
much winter, more juicy and tender
than common poultry. The new bust
ness was developed by the dominion
experiment stations but is now partly
in private hands. Common farm
chickens are bought at going prices,
which are lower in the United States

the GOODS for twenty-four days on a
thin mash of finely ground meal and
sour milk, and during the last ten days
q pound of tallow to seventy fowls
Grit and water are supplied. The feed
ing machine is not now used, as 1t was
found that the birds would fatten
nearly as fast without.
Something has been done in the line
OF artificial poultry fattening IN
Chicago and Kansas City, where the
great meat packing firms have con-
Quoted such operations on a large scale

markets at a great advance in price
