GOOD ROADS AND FARM PRICES.

Congressman lSulzer In his plea for
national aid in public road building
quoted figures that are worth arten-
zion OF the farmers who object to
larger expenditures on the highways
The congressman argues also that rhe
price OF farm lands is in a plain ratio
from the improvement of the roads
However, the direct connection be-
tween the highways and the land val
ues is too we'll established to be denied.
The good farm on a good road sells
away beyond as good a farm on a poor
road and in q. com nllnity that refuses
to improve its highways. No one ad-
,junct to a good farm adds more to its
salable value than good. smooth roads
adjoining it and offering the means of
trans portation of Its products at all
times of the year. Sulzer says that a
comparison of the percentage of the
improved roads of the various states
shows that the average percentage of
the Improved roads in all states where
farm ladn is worth less than $40 per
acre is only Is per cent; whereas in
the states where the acreage value is
more than $40, improved roads eonsti-
tute an average Of per cent of the to-
tai mileage.
While there may be minor causes of
variations in the value of farm lands.
it is an undoubted fact that as a gem
eral rule the higher values of certain
states are largely due to their super
Tor roads. Records on file in the office
of public roads show that farm lands
have been known to advance in value
from so to 500 per cent on account of
the improvement of the roads connect
ing them with market towns.

Wisconsir's Tuberculosis Campaign,

Some ten years ago, DR.. H. l.. Rus
sell, bacteriologist of the state expert
ment station, took notice of the grow
ing seriousness of bovine tuberculosis
among the dairy herds. This was the
more aggravating in view of THE am
bition the experiment station cherished

breeding center of the west for dairy
animals; in such a scheme there was

output. At that time the state occu-
pied a conspicuously tail-end position

troll: and in the west, Illinois and other
neighbor commemorative had at least
Guaranteed themselves against its inn

when tuberculosis was scientific cur

realization of what the disease amount
ed to, and no sentiment at all for any
thing drastic in the way of an attack
ON it.
The experiment station had two
choices. They could firstly. have APP
piled to the legislature for an act Civ
ing them compulsory power to clean
up. The station, however, took the sec
ond alternative, of applying for action
to the people direct. The proper order
of events as they saw it was education

DR.. Russell and his assistants opened
with a diffusion of bulletins, concen-
trated and readable, setting forth brief

proved methods of its check, and the
certainty of its spread if unchecked.

with a little detailed dissection, gives
his audience an insight into the nature
of tuberculous LESSONS. He finishes with
a brief lecture on tuberculosis, its
cause, and what to do about it.
When farmer sees the tuberculin
test applied to the condemnation of an
apparently salable animal, and later is
shown that the animal is, in scripturaf
language, a whited sepulchre, he is UNI
resistingly convinced of the utility of
the test When he has seen with his
own eyes the effects of the disease, he
can can hardly remain Indifferent to its
cause. About the close of the demon
stration he is likely to have an illumi-
mating vision of the possible state Of
his own herd; and if he is a conscienh-
Gus and clear-headed man, he applies
for test inside the week.
Results? Within the year the station
was called on to make 5000 odd tests,
more than the total for the five years
previous. In 1907 the number mounted
to 1000, in 1908 to nearly 10000, and
last winter was estimated at $4,000.

SPEED MANIA.

Man invented the steam engine. and
applied the principle to transportation
for one reason. because other methods
were too slow.

the race horse because of his love for
speed.
When the bicycle was invented, that
useful machine was turned over for a
while to the speed maniacs. Man went
as fast as he could and tried to go
faster.
Then he invented the automobile,
and the faster he can make his joy
wagon go the better he likes it. When

ought to arrive at his destination day

GOOD LISTENERS.
Newton Journal.1

1t has often been said that next to
being a good talker is being a good
listener. but it sometimes seems that to
be a good listener is rarer and finer
accomplishment than being a good
talker. There are very few people who
possess the ability to listen so we'll that
they can remember what they have
heard and tell it exactly to someone
else without adding little to or taking
9. little from the story.
You have all known cases where Il
story grew as it passed from one to
another until when it came back to the
one from whom it started there was
scarcely a semblanca of the original.
The reason is that these people Who
passed the story along We're not good
listeners and as a consequence it was
told differently every time If each
one had listened we'll to what was be-
ing told to him. he would not have got
ten muddled up and could have told the
tale correctly.
Because people are not good listeners
the story is often started that such and
such one is dead or married or has
been a victim of some other horrible

of similar caliber. The man who will
furnish liquor to one whose only hold
on life is abstinence is to be classed
with reptiles and prisoners. With q
sheepish, half-idiotic smile he ministers
to the insane appetite of a man crav-
ing for poison, in the name of friend
ship.
This breed of fool is always among
US. The only way to protect the liquor
slave from him is to prosecute him.
The penalty provided by law, however,
is not heavy enough for the seriousness
of the offense. A season on the rock
pile is almost too good for the man
who in the name of friendship peddles
poison to the slaves of crazy desire.
