ROADS AS CROP PRODUCERS
Government Studies Show How ASrt
cuitura! Outlook Of Country De-
pends Upon It's Highways.

That an improved road will increase
vastly the productiVeness OF the area
through which it runs has now been
satisfactorily demonstrated by STUDIES
conducted by the United States depart
ment Of agriculture in Virginia. Con-
ditions In Spotsylvania county were IL
vestigated with particular care, ano
the results have proved surprising. II
1909 the county voted 100000 to I'M
prove 40 miles of roads. Two years
after the completion Of this work the
railroad took away IN II months from
Fredericksburg, the county seat, IL
600 tons Of agricultural and forest
products hauled over the highways to
that town. Before the Improvement
Of the roads this total was only 49,oOo
tons annually; in other words the
quantity Of the county's produce hac
risen more than IS per cent St1n
more interesting, however, is the In
crease shown in the quantity Of the
dairy products. In 1909 these amount
ed to 114,815 pounds, in 1911 to 27S,'
OPS pounds, an increase Of practically
140 per cent in two years. In the
same time shipments Of wheat had IN
creased So per cent tobacco 81 per
cent and lumber and other forest prod
ucts 4S per cent.
In addition to this increase in GUAM:
tity the cost OF hauling each ton OF
produce was materially reduced. In
other words the farmers not only pro
duce more but produce more cheapT,
for the cost Of transportation to mar
ket is, Of course, an important factor
In the cost of production. From this
point Of view it is estimated that the
100000 spent In improving the roads
, in Spotsylvania county saved the farm
ers of that county 41,000 q year.
In the past two years the traffic
studies Of the federal experts show
that approximately an average OF 6o'
900 tons Of outgoing products were
hauled over the improved roads in the
county, an average distance Of eight
miles, or q total of 100000 ton
miles" Before the roads were i'm
proved it was estimated that the aver
age cost of hauling was 20 cents e

Cossack Loyalty.

The Cossack at home is good-tem-
pered, fond OF his children, devoted to
his horse, his intimate knowledge Of
that animal seeming to make him the
best horseman in Europe. The novel
list Gogol speaks Of him in high terms
for his faithfulness to a comrede-ia-
arms: The Cossack's first duty and
first glory" says Gogol, "is to fulfill
the duty of comradeship. Long as I
have lived in the world, gentlemen
brothers, never happened to hear
that a Cossack ever left his comTade,
or betrayed him in any emergency"
