The saving in cost of hauling loads
to market over good roads compared
with the same haul over bad roads has
been strikingly illustrated again and
again and with fair degree of accu-
racy But the saving of time in driving
over good roads as compared with poor
ones has not been given the considera-
ton it merits This saving of good
roads applies with equal force whether
they be used by the farmer in going
to town in his light carriage, the auto
mobilist or the bicyclist. 1t has been
estimated that half hours time can
be saved in passing over every five
miles of good road as compared with
the same length of bad road. AS time
has never been more valuable than it is
in these days of the twentieth century,
here is another argument for the good
roads movement that is often over
look ed.-Good Roads Magazine.

States Unique system For Aiding In
Highway Improvement.

States unique system For AIDING In
Highway Improvement.
The Vermont system of state aid for
highway Improvement is unique and
specially adapted to rural towns. says
a writer in Good Roads Magazine. No
debt is incurred. A money state tax is
annually assessed and apportionment
made to the towns on basis OF road
mileage. Towns receive money on GER
tificate of the state highway commits
sion that such town has expended the
amount in permanent road work ac-
cording to specifications and regula-
tions made by the state commissioner
and to his satisfaction. Thus every
town is benefited by section of i'm
proved road each year. The type of
road is telford base with gravel sur
face.
The amount expended in 1903 was
S9O,SO6.50 There were built 92.S miles.
2S3 of which has telford foundation:
also LOGS culverts of stone and tile.
The amount of state road fund for 1904
will be about S125.000.
We are not building macadam roads,
but ii type of road costing very much
less. seldom more than $1,000 per mile.
These roads are entirely satisfactory.
as more comfortable for horses to trav
eli upon, comparatively free from the
disagreeable impalpabe dust of Il mae
adam road and the expense of main
tanning reduced to the minimum usu-
ally from $40 to So per mile per year.
AS will be seen. state aid is extended
to every town. We are gradually and
surely improving the main roads in
every part of the state, with the result
of good country roads generally.

The terrible after effects of LaGrippe are

eventually die of heart disease, the dread of
millions. DR.. Miles Heart Cure strengthens
and regulates the hearts action, enriches the

ed by sprinkling the track with oil.
The principal reason why the oiling of
roads has proved more successful in
the west than in the east is that the
California oil has less odor, is much
less volatile, and contains a larger
amount of asphalt than the Pennsyl-
