THE COST. OF BAD ROADS.

4 some Fl figures III on the cost cost Of f' bad
roads. Department of Commerce sta
tistics show that it costs eight times as
much to deliver pound of coffee from q
country grocery store to home mile
away as it costs to carry that same pound
of coffee from Rio de Janeiro to New York.
1t costs the farmer who lives ten miles
from the railroad over which he ships his
products one and one-sixth cents more to
haul bushel Of wheat to the freight sta
tion than it costs the buyer to ship that
wheat from New York to Liverpool The
annual bill for carting Americas crops

resents, in large part, unnecessary loss
Poor roads, making necessary the slow
going half-loaded wagon, account for most
Of this waste. If farmers could be made to
realize the tremendous tax bad roads i'm
pose upon them, not to mention the tax
upon the consumer, public opinion would
demand the making and maintaining Of
good roads everywhere.
Two sets Of figures have been compiled
by the good roads bureau Of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture. If the cost of hauling
in this country could be reduced to one
half Of the present cost, or III cents per
ton a mile, the saving to the people would
amount to $250,0O000O year.
If equitable and efficient road laws and
good business management could be subst-
tuted for the present antiquated and waste
full system Of handling our roads, there
would be an additional saving of $40 000,-
900 annually.
The United States cannot continue in
definitely matching its vast resources
against unnecessary waste. Every dollar
squsndered because of poor roads is ire
coverably gone, the same as though thief
had taken it in the night.

show, distillate from stumps can be refined
into wood alcohol, ethyl alcohol, turpentine,
tar and oils, clearing Of logged-off land
should not only go on apace, but should
give birth to new industries in refining and
selling these products 1t remains to apply
the methods of the experimenters on a
large scale in the field and to convince
capital that there is money in it.
A large part of the work of the present
day consists in finding use for that
which is apparently useless says the Port
land Journal 1t has become a trite saying
that meat-packers use all of the hog ex-
cept the squeal, and that their profit is
made not from meat, but from by-products.
The carbon dust held in suspension by
petroleum was formerly nuisance to re-
finers, and its disposal was source of ex-
pense, but it is now used in making elec-
trio carbons and has created flourishing
industry Gasoline was also worthless to
the refiners, but its use as fuel has made
it more valuable than kerosene, much of
which is now thrown away. Some cities
have made profit out Of garbage disposal,
which costs Portland pretty sum every
year. The refuse Of the farm is to be made
into denatured alcohol, now that the
shackles have been taken off its manufac-
turc.

ARTIFICIAL. AND REAL LIVING.
THE FARMER s DAYS are full of t,

Vie FARMER'S 5 DAYS are full of toll
and he is often disposed to think his
life is a hard one, says the Fruit
Grower. There have been farmers who held
to this view until they tried to do the
things city dweller does Then there was
a reversal of opinion, and likewise form.
The farmer sometimes overlooks the fact
that he is an outdoors man and the city
dweller is an indoors man. And there is
all the difference in the world The city
dweller lives at higher tension; the nerve
racking noise, the problems that require in
slant decision, the fierce concentration, the
ever-increasing value of time, the dangers
to life and limb, the fictitious pleasures, the
late hours the dissipation that adds to the
physical strain and nerve sickness, the
temptations, the lure Of extravagant living
in word, general consumption Of
life's candle at both ends.
And when the city man does 60 on
vacation, when he is burned out over the
steady daily grind, and mind and body
both crave relaxation, where does he go
where indeed-except to the farmers out
o'-doors-the heart of the woods, the banks
of some river or lake, there to let the
pduu VI NdtuIc, VIC peace OIL WOoueu tem-
Piles and the clean winds of heaven remove
the burden of his trouble and make his
heart and body pure as in that past but
still vivid time of boyhood
There is no tonic like the tonic of out
doors. There is healing in the winds; there
is strength in the cool streams, sermons in
the very stones over which the waters purl
so musically, and good in everything.
The farmer is unacquainted with the
narrow confines of a city lot, and an i'm
mature flat or apartment For him broad
acres and the waving wheat, the thrifty
orchard, the lush growing corn and mea-
dows Worki Of course, it took work, but
it represents no taint; there is no misrepre-
sentation, no chicane, no mearned incre-
ment of the parasite is in it. 1t is a
tribute to the farmers creative spirit. 1t
adds to the wealth of the world and the
sustenance Of human kind 1t is part and
kindred with Natures outdoor alchemy.
Is there any comparison between the two
the city and countryi Is there any choice
between the man-made town and the God
made countryi

USE FOR THE USELESS.

IF MR.. DONK, of the Agricultural De-
! partment, can show cheap, practicable
4 means of saving the by-products Of
stumps and of making them salable he will
have found a way of making hundreds Of
thousands, perhaps millions, of acres Of
Western land productive. The great OBJ
staces to clearing logged-off land are the
high cost per acre, if men are hired for the
purpose, the laborious, back-breaking work
if the owner does it himself, and the ap-
parent uselessness Of the stumps after they
are uprooted.
If, as Senator Brady believes, the pro-
ducts Of stumps will sell for enough to pay
for clearing land, and il, aa experiments

OPPOSITION TO COOPERATION.

WHY SHOULD there be opposition to
w cooperation associations Of farmersi
Surely no one will object to the for.
nation of cow or seed testing associations
because everybody knows that their only
object is to get better results. Then why
not go step further and provide means
for closer connection between the city men
and country folks' Mutual fire insurance
companies among farmers were the natural
result of conditions which compelled agents
to charge higher premiums in the country
than in the city. Extra expense had to be
incurred to collect the premiums and time
was lost in getting and continuing the busi-
ness with the farmers When the farmers
established their own insurance companies
the premiums were cut in two, not because
they were better business men, but because
they could cut out the extra expense Un-
doubtedly the regular insurance companies
and probably the livery men who furnished
the rigs for the insurance agents lost, but
the loss of class often goes with the ad-
vance of the great mass Of the people.
The practice Of sleeping outdoors is
constantly growing in popularity 1t is
found to be beneficial to the sick and
well alike. Those who fancy that an
open window thoroughly ventilates room
deceive themselves in many cases, accord
ing to recent medical lights. It has been
found that the air sometimes remains foul
near a window open both at top and bot
tom.
Henry Ford, the famous automobile
maker, is said to have learned the So

be divided into great landed estates,
or worked into small farms? That makes
difference where you are-the nature of
! the land and the people. By small farms
we do not mean especially the twenty or
forty acre tracts, yet the average 100 acre
farm might be classed in this sense as a
small farm In semi-arid, or arid, section
where it takes many acres to Craze a steer,
it is folly to speak of small farms at all,
for none could live on such farm But in
sections where the land is very fertile
l6O acre farm will readily support family
and a much smaller tract properly farmed
will do so.
In pioneer days when land was plenti-
ful the great estates of the tobacco and cot
ton planter of Virginia and the great sugar
plantations of Louisiana and the great corn
farms of southern Illinois and wheat fields
Of the Missouri Valley states were bless
ing to the country. They gave employment
and furnished products to those of less
means, but now that land is getting more
ditions have changed. A landed aristocracy
mas Deeu curse W EuSIdHu anu lIhcWlSt
will be a curse to this country.
The people of Louisiana are awake to
the situation and desire to see the great
cane plantations broken up into smaller
farms. The adverse tariff legislation seems
to be the climax that will bring about this
much needed change. In way it will be
too bad if the adjustment of conditions
in that proud state should cause a loss Of
that splendid southern hospitality. Let us
hope, says Successful Farming, it will not
happen But one thing is certain, the great
cane and cotton and rice plantations will
be divided into smaller tracts and this will
make homes for greater number Of thrifty
farmers from the north who desire milder
climate.
In due course of time we will awake to
the necessity of subdividing our great corn
and wheat farms, for one-crop farming,
no matter where it is, creates intolerable
conditions that have no place in this coun-
try. Let us take lesson from Louisiana,
which is now going through the throes Of
an agricultural transformation. We must
discourage one-crop farming on large
scale, and encourage the ownership Of small
farms where livestock and diversified farm
ing may prevail. The Texans are seeking
relief through system Of taxation that
will break up landlordsm on such stupen-
dous scale as prevails there. Far better is
small farm ownership.

INDUSTRY WILL
BE LITTLE AFFECTED

There doesn't seem to be much rea-
son to believe that the British gov
eminent will reconsider it's action in
making naval stores contraband of
war. At the same time, it would ap-
pear from the following from the
Naval Stores Review and Journal of
Trade of Savannah that naval stores
operators need not expect any further
detriment to their business on ac-
count of the order:
Washington that Great Britain had
formally declared resins and turpen-
tine contraband of war, on the
ground that from turpentine synthetic
camphor can be made, which is used
in high explosives, and that from res
nous substances extracts are made
that are used as binders for shrapnel
as well as for other purposes. The
news did not come as a surprise to
the trade, which has known for years
that synthetic camphor had been made
from turpentine in Germany and
from recent reports as to the uses of
rosins indicated. AS the allies can
secure camphor from Japan there is
not apt to be any demand from that
source for turpentine as basis for
camphor. 1t is not believed by the
trade here that there will be any prac-
teal effect from the new decree as
since the war started it has been i'm
possible to ship naval stores into Ger
many or Austria and turpentine is
now worth over 81 a gallon in those
countries. There is accordingly no
reason for apprehension of any de-
pressing effect on the market as a re-
suit of the British governments ac-
ton, as the effect of such an order
has long ago been discounted"

A NOTABLE DOCUMENT

The American note to Great Brit
engaged in war, is quite notable
document. 1t in effect says that the
war is none of our making, that the
powers at war have no business to in
terfere with our commerce with other
neutral nations, and in fact none to
interfere with our trade wit hthe ma
tons at war any further than is nee
essary to protect themselves.
In statement Tuesday, President
Wilson declared that large damages
would have to be paid by England for
unlawful detention of American car
goes.
The president pointed out that
many protests had been sent in spe-
cific cases and that if the contention
of the American government was cor
rect, as he was firmly convinced it
was, plans for naturalization ulti-
mately would have to be met by
Great Britain.
Supplementary to present protests
the new note, President Wilson ex-
planned, represented fully the Amer
lean position. He said that so far as
theory was concerned there was no
debate on the point raised, because
England herself in previous wars had
taken exactly the American position.
Coming from nation the size OF
this, the protest is one that the war
ring nations can't afford to disregard
If our government maintains the
stand taken in it's note, our shippers
and the industries connected with
! them are sure to have relief.

SOME INFORMATION FOR
PHOSPHATE SHIPPERS

The Star has just received the fol-
lowing letter from Congressman
Clark, representative of this district:
Gainesville, Dec. goth, 1914.
Editor Star: For the information
of shippers Of phosphate to foreign
ports, permit me to say that just be-
fore leaving Washington | had an in
terview with Sir Cecil Spring Rice,
the British ambassador to this coun-
try, and he informed me that the Brit
ish government did not object to the
shipment Of phosphate to Germany or
any other country, but that they were
forced to hold up and search cargoes
in order to see that no copper or
other articles of the like were secret
ed in the cargo. He further stated
that if our people desired to ship and
would give the British vice-consul at
the point nearest the place of ship
ment notice of when they intended to
ship, that the vice-consul would place
man on the dock to see the loading,
and thus know that no copper or other
such article was loaded therein, and
that he would then furnish paper to
! the master of the vessel which would
prevent her from being held up and
searched, and which would permit her
to go to her destination without let OF
hindrance by the vessels of the Brit
ish navy. make this public state,
ment in order that those interested
may take advantage of it. If any
shippers of phosphate will communi
cate with me / will be glad to give
them any other information.
