LOSSES FROM DISEASE AND Elk.
POSTURE.

No sane person can doubt the wis
dom Of the most painstaking study
into the diseases of animals when he
reads the reports Of the U. S. Depart.
ment Of Agriculture with reference to
this subject. Last year swine to the
value OF approximately $66,50O. 900
died from disease. Ninety per cent
Of this loss was probably due to hog
cholera. Disease and exposure were
responsible during that period for loss
among cattle amounting to nearly
$65,o0O.0O0, and among sheep to over
$l8,988,989, while the loss among
horses reached nearly $4,000, 900.
Here is part Of the explanation OF the
high cost OF living. Outside OF all
considerations Of economic loss. how

diseases that annually deserve the in.
terest Of all fumanitarians. Few
things are more pitiful than a sick
and dying animal. The animal hospi-
tai was never SO imperatively de-
manded as today.

i. HOW GOOD ROADS PAY.

The department OF agriculture has
been getting together some telling
data on the good road subject. Where
communities build good roads in place
of bad ones, the increased value and
,productiveness of the lands immedi-
;ately more than pay for the invest
,ment, Here are some cases:
y In Lee county, Virginia. a farmer
owned 100 acres between Ben Hur anu
,Jonesville, which he offered to sell for
$500. In 1908 this road was improv-
ed, and, although the farmer fought
the Improvement, he has since refused
$1,000 for.h his farm. Although this same
road tract Of IS acres was supposed
to have been sold for $4,000. The
purchaser refused the contract, how
ever, and the owner threatened to sue
him. After the road Improvement,

In Jackson county. Alabama, the

lands in Jackson county at $500 per
acre. The selling value at that time
was from Sc to SIS per acre The
census of 1910 places the value OF all
farm lands in Jackson county at 1913

from SIS to $25 per acre. Actual fig.

er cases. the department assumes
that roads add to land values in pro.
portion as they make farms more pro-
ductive by reason OF easier access.
In this regard of course, the depart
ment Is in error. Good roads make 1t
easier TO live in the country; easier
t6 farm: easier to have neighbors;
easier TO use church and school. In
short, good roads contribute to land
values very much more on the social
than on the merely industrial side.
That side of the country life takes
care OF itself very well nowadays; If
It's social side would keep pace, there
would be little occasion to worry about
the rural life problem. Roads are
worth vastly more for their contribu-
ton on the social than on the indus.
