ROADS ARE THE PRINCIPAL MEANS OF
TRANSPORTATION FOB AGRICULTURAL
PRODUCTS.
ther to be shipped to him or TO the
mills where it is prepared for shipment.
A large part Of the furniture I'm his
home and at his office has been made
from hardwood hauled over the roads.
These and other things which anybody
can list for himself must all vary in
price to the townsman with the cost OF
hauling them from the farms and for
ests to the mills or railroad stations.
Just what this fact means has been
stated by j. E. Pennypacker. the high
way economist of the United States Of
fee of public roads, as follows:
"The public roads throughout the
country, which constitute the primary
means of transportation for all agri-
cultural products. for many millions OF
tons of forest, mine and manufactured
products. and which for a large per
centage Of farmers are the only ave
nues Of transportation leading from the
point of production to the point Of con-
sumption or rail shipment, have been
improved to only a slight extent. By
reason Of this fact the prevailing cost
of hauling over these roads is about .
cents per ton mile. More than 100000
GOO tons are hauled over these roads
each year, aud the average haul Is
about eight miles. from which it can
readily be seen that our annual bill for
hauling over the public roads is nearly
S65O,OOO 600. The cost per ton mile for
hauling on hard surfaced roads should
not exceed 13 cents. 1t is therefore evil
dent that if our roads were adequately
improved a large annual saving in the
cost of hauling would result"
The difference between % and Il
cents is 10 cents, which is the ton mile
tax Of poor roads which the city peO-
ple pay, for most Of the hauling is to-
ward markets or shipping points, and
the cost Of this hauling is part Of the
total expense Of products Of the land
to the consumer. The total is about
S2SOOO0,OOO.
Poor roads put n much more serious
drain on the townsman's pOcketbook,
however. His food is costing him more
every year. and he therefore has very
close personal interest in having the
agricultural lands farmed in such
way that they yield their largest re-
turns at the lowest working cost. This
means more than producing milk and
vegetables at a low cost: II also in
cludes raising at a low expense the
wheat and corn from which his -four
and meal are made, producing fowls
and hogs economically and reducing
the cost Of growing cotton. How many
intelligent young men able to earn a
good living in a city will live in the
country If they have to travel through
miles of mud or dust at decided phys
ical discomfort in order to market their
products, meet their friends or buy
their supplies7 How many young wo-
men will be willing to live in the ccun-
Try, where had reads isolate them.
with only the sparrOws for compan-
ions. with the doctor almost inacces-
sible. the schools hard for the children
10 reach and churchgoing a real labor?
Yet If the townsman is TO have the
things he eats grown for him efficiently
and economically he must take his part |
in making country life agreeable and
profitable to these intelligent young |
people. It means a saving Of dollars
and cents to him.

JUST THE THING FOR DARRHoEA

About two years ago had severe
attack of diarrhoea which lasted over a
week. +" writes w. C. Jones, Buford, N.
D. Il became so weak that could not
stand upright. A druggist recommended
Chamberlain Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy. The first dose relieved
me and within two days l was as well
as ever" Many druggists recommend
this remedy because they know that 1t
is reliable. Obtainable everywhere.

THE BEST LAXATIVE.

To keep the bowels regular the best
laxative is outdoor exercise. Drink
full glass of water half an hour before
breakfast and eat an abundance of fruit
and vegetables also establish a regular
habit and be sure that your bowels move
once each day. When a medicine is
needed take Chamberlain Tablets.
They are pleasant to take and mild and
gentle in effect Obtainable everywhere.
