 There are in the. United States 2.1oo,oo0 miles of public roads, Government fig ures show that only 150.o0o miles, or per cent of them are improved. All the rest are bad roads. Some of them are very bad
 Some of the roads that are improved cannot be called good roads It is impos- sihle to estimate the total waste that is brought about by the bad conditions that exist in most of the states of he Union.
 Here is what an authority says about the expense of bad roads,
 ''It costs the French peasant an aver age of 12 cents a mile per ton to haul his produce to market. It costs the Amer ican farmer an average of 25 cents mile per ton, or 100 per cent more than tho Frenchman During the year 1so5-19o6 haulings of farm produce to shipping points amounted to between 100000 and 45, GOO 900 tons weight. The average haul was 94 miles. If the farmers could have done their hauling over French roads, fn- stead of their own inferior ones, they would have netted S5S, 300, 900 more on their crops"

DOZEN GRos9EAKs SEEN
 AT TAFTvILLE SCHOOL
Unusual Birds for This Section, as They Seldom Come East of the Mis- sissippi.

On Monday at the Wequonnoe school there was a visit from a dozen evening grosbeaks, birds which are rarely seen east of the Mississippi, thus being 1000 miles out of their hahitual zone. It was fully twenty years ago that the last record of any being seen here was made, though of course others may have heen in this vicinity.
 The birds belong in western Canada but during the winter they come into the northwestern part of the United States, but seldom come east. They, however, seemed perfectly at home and were probably taking g. tour of the New England states and took 9 liking to this particular section. These birds are eight inches long. being an inch longer than a bluebird and two inches shorter than a robin. These were quite tame, it being possible to get within 25 feet of them. They may have been portion of q flock which had wan dered away from their accustomed haunts, but the treat was an unusual one for those who saw them.
