Gravel Road.

States department of agriculture, it ID
now possible to prove not only that
good roads are profitable Investments,
but to determine exactly what divt
dends they pay. An investigator az
signed to this problem in any given
locality first ascertains the extent Of
the territory that is tributary to any
main road, much as one might ascerL
tain the territory tributary to some
river. The next step is an accurate
estimate Of the total products of this
territory-sO much grain, 80 much to-
bacco, SO much garden truck, etc. OF
this quantity certain portion is con-
sumed on the farm; the rest is shipped
over the road in question.
The whole calculation can then ba
checked by investigators at the ship
ping point to which the road leads. In
general 1t has been found that the
two methods yield much the same in
formation-the total amount of prod
uce hauled over the road. Next the
length of the average haul is calcu-
lated, the size Of the load permitted By
the character of the road ascertained,
and the cost Of teams and drivers fix
ured. With these facts before him
the investigator is now able to state
positively the cost of hauling ton
Of produce on that road. to express
In terms Of these "ton-miles" the
freight traffic on the road, and finally
the total cost to the community served
by the road of hauling its goods to
market. Armed with these data It IN
easy to decide how much money can
be profitably spent in improving tho
road and what are the returns that the
investment yields to the community.

ADVANTAGES OF GOOD ROADS
Energy Of Farmers Teams conservad
by Pulling Heavy Loads Over Com
paratively Smooth Surface.

There is no doubt that good roads
tend to prosperity to the farmers who
live on them. Their teams are not
worn out with the effort to pull q
light load over bad road, for they
easily take large one to market and
save not only the strength of the
team and wear of the wagon, but
what Is of more importance still, the
time of the owner.
He gets his product to market more
cheaply and that item alone tends to
more prosperity. Then, too, the value
Of his land is increased by the fact
that it is on a well-made and well.
