Value of Good Roads.

The value of farming land depends
very largely on the distance from a
market. A good road has the effect
of shortening the time required for
carrying load of produce to market,
which is practically the same thing as
shortening the distance.
Howard H. Gross, in the Two Har-
bors (Minn) News, relates the story
of hard-headed German farmer at
Sheboygan, who in very graphic and
comprehensive way, told of the value
of good roads as it appeared to him.
He said: MY farm is ten miles from
market. If it was only five miles from
market 1t would be worth SIS an acre
more. / cannot move my farm in. but
If we can build good road to my farm
can come in the ten miles with nv
produce easier than could come In
five miles to town"

Strong Cholera Serum.


Farmers are now storing their prod
uct for future use. This Is easily pos
sible, and until the scourge, so disas-
trous last year, is stamped out, no
chances should be taken. If last year
a large supply Of hog cholera serum
had been available. 1t Is reasonable
to suppose that comparatively little
damage would have been done. Gov
ernment as well as private plants
were wholly inadequate to meet the
demand Of 1911, and as consequence
hog cholera losses were unprecedent-
ed. Scientists are convinced that
properly stored hog cholera serum
will keep for three or four years. This
being true, there ought to be little
complaint hereafter should cholera
break out.
