Good Roads.
Editor Agriculturist:

Lu1lOl
am not writer on any subject,
though [ will give you my method for
improving the roads in this State.
Good roads are of great Importance
in all lands, but the way to build
and keep them in repair vary greatly.
There is no one thing that has more
to do with preserving the roads than
the width of the tires used on vehic-
les. A wagon provided with wide tires
is both good road maker and pre-
server on Florida's sandy land l
have used a one-horse wagon with a
inch tires for twenty years. can
start a road over rough plowed land,
and after a few trips will have a good
road that will improve with every
trip. Put wagon with I I-2 inch tires
on the same ground and you will
have very different road
A road built Of any kind of material
will last five times as long when wide
instead Of narrow tires are used 1t
is a WaStetul business, to say the
least, to spend a thousand dollars Or
more on mile of road and then let
it be cut up with narrow tires.
Tires should have width according
to the weight they carry-a half ton
load 3-inch; one ton 4-inch; one and
half ton load 5-inch; two ton load
o-inch tires, and those wagons that
carry heavier loads should be provided
with 8-inch tires
Fifty years ago | saw 8-inch tires on
heavy wagons, and on asking the rea-
son for it the answer to save the
pavements. which shows that we are
fifty years behind the old world in
preserving roads,
N. L. PiersOn.

he should read carefully all that is
said about the real business of farm
ing, and of making farming the most
profitable.
The manufacturer who does not dali
ly study the worlds needs as to the
article he manufactures, or The mer-
chant who neglects to study the wants
Of the trade in his selling limits, will
always be a failure The same is true
of the farmer. He may always dig
a living from his farm, and, perhaps,
be able to lay by little, but that is
not farming. 1t is his duty as a
citizen to make the most he possibly
can from his farm, and thus add to
the wealth of the world In other
words he ought to be both farmer and
business man.

price in the West will soon be at an
end. System and more efficient man
culture if reasonable profits are to
be extracted from the soil and its fer
tility be conserved for the use of flu
ture generations"
There is great deal of sound sense
in what | have just quoted Let us
look a little further In another place
the Department says: "The parts of
the farm have been studied, but the
farm as a whole has received but little
attention. While methods have been
devised for investigating the soil, the
plant, and the animal, little effort has
been given to devising ways of study
ing the general farm plan and the re-
lation of the farm to farm business.
The relation of one part Of the farm
to the markets, and other industries
have not been brought under scienti
hc investigation. The facts derived
from detailed Investigations concern
ing the soils, plants and animals are
Of great Importance, but they are use
full only as the farmers training ena-
bles him to make proper use Of these
facts A literature must be created
based on facts which are largely yet
to be worked out and illustrated by
many successful plans of recog-
nized farms, and the pedagogics
of farm management must be
so developed and simplifed that
this subject may be taught in all
farmers schools. The study of the
physical and chemical conditions of
soils subjected to various systems of
crop rotation is of secondary impor
lance to the main index of value, met
profit but is useful in that it aids in
explaining the reason for the profits
which have been secured by the vari-
Gus schemes Of cropping. The final
test of rotation values is net profit,
because lIdL dl dlIS CIllCllI VI SuSCNS-
sion of crops which yields the largest
net profit in cash through a long term
of years is the rotation which has
kept the soil in the best chemical
and physical condition and is best ad-
apted to it's environment of soil, eli
mate and markets"
This is all very good, but the one
great need of farmers education, and
the one that has been most neglected
is the business education or training
Not that he should cease to study
crops, climate, soil, ETC., but that he
should give more attention to markets,

The Business End of Farming.

The Business End of Farming.
The cultivation of the soil and the
best methods of producing crops has
been studied and improved, until
farming has become a science. But
after the crop is made the farmer is
at the mercy Of the buyer, the art
OF selling his produce has not been
taught and most farmers are veritable
children in the hands Of the buyers
who control the markets. C. cor
respondent Of the Modern Farmer,
writing from Washington says:
The Department of Agriculture has
been trying to figure out the cost of
producing farm products. 1t will be
readily admitted that generally speak
ing farming in America has not been
conducted as business enterprise. II
is true there has been a great adj
vance in what may be called scien-
tific farming, but the "business' end
of the work has always been more or
less neglected. It will also be admit
ted that farmers, as rule, are not
good business men, in the strict sense
of that term. They try very hard to
produce, but study very little how to
make their producing the most prof.
table. In this connection your cor
respondent would call attention to
what the Agricultural Department
says:
Although agriculture is the largest
industry in the United States and is
pursued by thirty-fve per cent. of
our workers, it must be admitted by
anyone who has closely observed the
progress of agriculture that system
and good business management are
not as highly developed in agriculture
as in our other great industries
The success and prosperity of
Our American farmer are due
to the unbounded fertility of the
soils, and the cheapness of the
farm lands, and the privilege of utiliz-
ing modern inventions in machinery
rather than to systematic organization
and efficient farm management. APP
probation in land values has not been
met in most instances by a CORES
bonding increase in the efficiency of
farm managers Land which bears a
high rent is often titled by men whose
managing ability is more in accord
with cheap land than high priced land
and as a result the actual productive
ness of the land does not correspond
with the theoretical prodIctivenc>s as
shown by land values. In some in
stances realization of this discrep-
ancy between land values and actual
productiveness leads men to sell high
priced land and move to cheaper lands,
where profits may be secured with less
managing ability The day of cheap
productive land is coming to close
in the United States. The possibility
