The Maintenance Problem.

The Maintenance Problem.
At this particular time the editor
of this paper wishes to pay his re-
spects to the highways OF Vermont
1t is true that in some sections they
are not all that is desired, either in
width or in material used for con
structon, but as a whole they win be
found to be easier to ride over and
capable of making faster time over
than any roads that we have ridden
over either in New York state or in
Massachusetts.
In the former state within the last
two weeks we have travelled on every
conceivable sort of road, from those
paved with brick, wood blocks, con
crete, asphalt, macadam, stone, sand,
dirt mud and water and even on cor
duroy, While in Massachusetts, we
rode over some of the famous roads
in Berkshire county. and were right
glad when at last we were well over
into Remington county where we
struck the regular Vermont state
roads.
This much we noticed and that was
that which made for the easiest
riding was the whole matter of main
tenance. No matter of what material
the road was made Of, if it was not
properly maintained it was hard to
travel over
During the past season it has been
our pleasure to travel around this
state not little and barring few
localities we have invariably found
good roads, some we will admit were
poorer than others, but they were
good roads nevertheless.
What is wanted more than any.
thing else is the maintaining of that

RAISE THINGS.

A reader who approves of these
little articles says that we should go
a step farther and urge farmers to
raise everything they use, so they will
not have to buy so many things. We
do not feel that this is sound advice.
Farmers should raise the things to
which their farms, their markets and
themselves are adapted. They would
better study how to raise the most
and best of these things than to scat
ter their energies over great variety
of products merely to keep from buy
ing them. The men who follow the
right policy usually have cash enough
to get what they need from other far
mers who can produce it cheapest.
There was a time when farmers were
compelled to grow or make about
everything they needed, but that day
has long gone by. 1t is good business
to raise things-but the right things.
The scatteration plan involves neglect
of some of these things without cor
responding gain in raising others
