called for the expenditure of money to
meet the bills that it lightened their

there was more social life in the
community, the children were better
satisfied to stay upon the farm, and
they could go to market any day in the
year they liked, and thus take advan-

ket taking advantage of them.
1t is within the experience of mil
lions Of farmers that they had grain or
live stock on hanl ready to sell; the
price was right, but the roads were SO
bad they could not reach the market
A few weeks later when the roads i'm

tending over 20 years, was the building
OF hard roads begun without the strong
est opposition from those who were
really to receive the largest benefit.
Dire predictions were made that the
property would be confscated by the

A progressive farmer will expend
money on building good fences, tile his
land, erect wind mills, barns, sheds,
covers for his machinery, plant trees,
and do many things to make his farm
more attractive, more useful and more
valuable. When man has spent sew

worth more than the amount expended
over what 1t was before. He is will

BY HOWARD H. GROSS.

There is one very important factor
that people are apt to overlook, and
that is, the influence of good roads on
the value of farm property. There is
no fact that is better established or
of which there is more abundant proof
than that a good hard road leading
from the farm to the market will in
icrease the selling value of the farm far
more than the amount of taxes re
tquired to be paid by the farmer to
build the road Hence when the mat
ter is analysed, it will be found that
the building Of good roads is not a
matter of expense, but an investment
that pays larger and surer return

He said: "AIy farm is ten miles
