says the Ohio Good Roads federation.
For instance:
If you are a farmer your farm will
increase in value, you can raise more
profitable crops, your cost of hauling

products when prices are best, your
children can get to school, your family
can attend church, your physician will
be in closer touch with you, your boys
and girls will stay on the farm, and
you will have better mail service, more
social life and happier conditions all
around.
If you are a merchant good roads
will enlarge your trading radius and

reach you every day In the year and
thereby increase your sales.

Gus i'm Wisconsin.

Milk condenseries have been estab
lished in Wisconsin during the past
five years in the territories tributary to
the large cities, Sixteen new plants
were built from 1905 to 1910 and several
others have been considered. These
condenseries have furnished home
markets and thus decreased the num-
Der of individual milk and cream ship
pers. There are six condenseries in
Walworth county; three in Jefferson;
Green, Kenosha, Waupaca and Racine

handled by these condenseries, The
average price paid for 100 pounds,
