The value of good roads may
be sum merized as follows:
First-A reduction in the cost
of hauling.
Second-An increase in the val
ne of lands within it's zone of in
fiuence.
Third-Increase in productive
area through the making of un-
cultivated lands accessible.
Fourth The substitution of
the more profitable crops for the
less profitable ones.
Fifth-The ability of the pro-
Queer to market his products at
a time when prices are most fav-
orable, instead of marketing the
produce when the roads permit.
Wagon transportion is now the
least economical efficient form of
transportation that we have. Fig
ures compiled by the Office of
public roads show that the cost
of carrying one ton a mile on
country roads, good and bad, av-
erage from 20 to n cents, while
for bad roads alone the average
is something over 80 cents per
ton per mile. 1t is said that it
costs about thirty times as much
to haul products over the wagon
roads as it does to haul the same
tonnage on railroads.
The farmer who does his own
hauling does not always realize
what it costs him, but the expens
is there, nevertheless. 1t is made
up OF the additional time of him
self and his team, the wear and
tear on his wagon and harness.
A good road increases the value
of farm lands within the zone of
its influence, not only by reduc-
ing the cost of hauling all prod
ucts 10 market, but also enables
the farmer to increase the varie-
ty of his crops. The farmer
who has good road to market
can devote his attention to those
products which his soil and eli
matte conditions enable him to
produce most profitably.

II every man and woman OF fair
understanding and open mind
would read every Sunday morn
ing the 5th chapter of Matthew,
which is the sermon on the mount
andIwhich contains the beatitudes
this world would be happier than
it is. One need not stop to dis
cuss the doctrine of it, but just
let the sweet spirit of it get into
his life, as he let's the view of a
fine landscape, or a glorious sun
set, or the heavens filed with
stars, get into his soul, and 1t will
put him in harmony with the all
pervading truth that ruleth all
things, and will spread a vision
before him that he never saw be-
fore.
There is the best truth in the
universe, better than one will
find in the sciences. the arts, the
PHILOSOPHERS, the histories and a
truth that one does not have to
struggle to get, but which comes
TO HON as freely as the light goes
into his eyes. All he has to do is
to open his eyes, and there it is.
II that fair gospel would get
into the hearts of men, this world
would be transformed in it's cult

ence.

From a Sheep
To a TilliOn Dollars

The above is the title of an in
tensely interesting story that will
appear soon. in Farmer and Breed
er. 1t is the story of how a poor
boy started out with a sheep as
his total assets, and becoming a
farmer, built UP fortune OF
over a million dollars, following
his chosen vocation. This man
lives about eighteen miles from
Sioux City, and incidentally he is
a regular subscriber to Farmer
and Breeder for eighteen copies
of the paper for himself and his
employees.
This is the first of series of
inspirational articles that will ap-
pear in Farmer and Breeder DUR
ing the coming year. Such ar
ticles as this will be effective in
inspiring farmers and breeders to
do better work.
Inspiration is of inestimable
value to the business man. 1t is
to him what steam is to the en-
gine-it spurs him on. Insplra.
ton, or in other words, enthu-
siasm, is as necessary to the
farmer as it is to the business
man. The purpose of the above
mentioned articles, which deal
with the trials and triumphs of
living farmers, is to furnish some
notable examples which will in
spire others to do still greater
and better work. These articles
will be invaluable to those who
are willing to profit by the ex-
periences Of others. The young
men and women on the farm will
do well to follow the examples
that these articles supply.
