and himself to the neighboring town
with less expenditure of time. wear
and tear and trouble. In sections of
the country where the farmer has good
roads he would not lose them for more
than their cost and go back to the old
system Of having to haul through the
mud and over the stones He finds
that the value of his property is in
creased. and lie can haul two-yes
three--times greater load in less time
to market and that he is richer and
better because of the good road which
connects his property with the neigh
boring town.
This cost of hauling is heavy tax
on the farmers. much of which could
be saved. The amount paid out which
could be avoided by good roads is alb
solutely lost. The farmers are unable
to recover it in any way. 1t is part
of their expense which they must de-
duct from the gross returns on the sale
OF their products, and the only way
that it can be avoided is by the con-
struction of roads that would enable
farmers to haul heavier loads in less
time

0ILING OF ROADS.
Why II Is Benefit to Country High
ways.

Why 1t Is Benefit to Country High
ways.
Those who have observed the oiling
OF country roads in Missouri and
watched the effect Oh the pavement
are pronounced in favor of the system.
says the Motor News. They state that
the road is improved so per cent and
believe that the damage by washouts
after the freshets will be reduced to a
minimum.
The wagons grind the macadam to a
powder. and when the wind attans the
proper velocity macadam dust is blown
into the fields. 1t is claimed that with
oil the process of grinding the lime
stone rock to dust is reduced to min
imum and the pulyerization only tends
to make it pack harder and the life of
the road will be prolonged many years
after oiling and subsequent treatments.
Farmers advocate the oiling of roads.
realizing, however. that it will entail
more careful driving, especially Oh the
hills.
The farming community generally
shoe their horses in the fore feet and
allow the hind feet of the animal to re-
main unshod except in sleety weather.
the idea being that the fore feet, If
shod, will keep the horse from slipping
when pulling load Oiling has tend
ency to make the road slippery.

Roads For Automobiles.

1t appears to have occurred to many
that separate roads for automobiles to
travel over is the solution of the great
problem caused by reckless motorists
The question is one which is now re-
ceiving a good deal of attention, and
numerous projects for the establish
ment of motor speedways have been
projected or talked about. says Good
Roads Magazine. The emperor of Ger
many. who is an enthusiastic automo-
bilist, has taken up the question and
as an experiment is having two roads
built through his estates. These road
ways are twenty-three miles long and
thirty-six feet broad and are construct
ed with cement. They are used exclu-
sively by automobiles and are intended
as an experiment. The success or fail
ure of this experiment will be noted
with much interest in the United
States

COUNTRY HIGHWAYS,
Value of Good Roads and Cost
of Poor Ones.
WHAT THE FARMER LOSES.

No Tax So Great as Unimproved
Highways. Which Drive People to
the City, Wear Out the Horses and
Decrease Value Of Property.
In an address on the Improvement
of country highways at good roads
convention a speaker said:
The improvement Of country roads is
chiefly an economical question. relat-
ing principally to the waste of effort
in hauling over bad roads. the saving
in money, time and energy in hauling
over good ones. the initial cost of inn
proving roads and the difference in the
cost of maintaining good and bad
ones. ,
A good road economies time AMI
force in transportation between the
farms and the market. reduces wear
on horses, harness and vehicles. in
creases the value Of real estate con-
tiguous to the roads and brings prices
for farm products, because they can
be marketed ut less expense. Rural
homes are sought after along good
roads. Wagon highways are the great
est arteries of commerce. Civilization
is judged by the condition of the roads.
No tax is as great on the taxpayer as
bad roads A bad road is heavy tax
on those who use it. and the worse the
road the heavier the tax Bad roads
cause a decay of agriculture They
impose the greatest of all burdens on
the farmer. The roads cause people
to gather in the cities. Bad roads
wear out the horses very rapidly. thus
detracting very largely from the prof
its of the farm.
The man with the hoe-the farmer
wants good roads so that he may bring
his produce to market and his family

Bad Roads Come Hioh.

1t costs the farmers of the United
States $30,OO0,OO0 to haul their corn
crop to market and $22,OOO,OOO to get
the wheat crop to the elevators For
hauling twelve of the principal prod
ucts of the farm to the market places
it costs farmers Observation-Disclosures,
please understand. These figures are
made up by government experts. Troll
ley lines will in few years reduce
this cost materially, and good roads
will lessen the cost still more, says the
Atlanta Constitution. When the roads
are in such condition that two tons can
be hauled in one load instead of 800
pounds the saving will be enormous.
Is there any reason, then, why farmers
should not do everything they can to
get good roads?

In the course of speech recently
delivered at the town fair at Dryden.
N. Y, Governor Hughes had the fol-
lowing to say with reference to road
Improvement:
'You may be thankful for the efforts
of the state grange; you may be thank
full for what your representatives in
the legislature have done for the agri-
cultural interests. 1t was due to the
state grange that we have made such
progress in the settlement of our high
way problem, but much remains to be
done. We do not want good roads un-
TIL we have roads that will be kept
good and the money appropriated for
them economically laid out We should
not waste a dollar of the peoples
money"
