IN her travels and missionary work to promote the sentiment for good roud* in Illiuois, Miss Harbor I (, claims to have been very snocoss ful in enlisting tho co-operation of I comiuo?cial bodies ill difl'oreut towns. I Aiming farmers, howevor, alio bad j ?hiiu iftlculty in explaining tlml tlio j association she represented wah working not for hard loads hut for good road*. The average farmer, alio ? found, easily boeauio frightened at tho proposal for hard road*, for that mokes t hum think of maeadum, which wouht mean i ncroascd taxation. In a recent undress Mlsa Harbor said: "Out soIo aim at present is to make good soft roads, whh'h in years to come will fill ik IhIi foundations lor good hard roads. As an association wo regard our work as ox perinientiil ami educa tional. W'j aim to have at each of our conventions manufacturers and ma chines for constructing sample pieces of road, that farmers may see i i a praetic.il demonstration how a roa I should ho Imilt to Ins of value to tho community. The objoot Ioi.hoiih show how a road Should he built ho that water will drain <>11 ; how culvert i should lio constructed and uivVangc I in order properly to in I til' their mis sion, and how really inexpensive it is to mike good roads when the work ii <1 me iutelligoatly an1 systematically. ' Wo do not intend toinereaso tax i lion olio penny, for we know that til > 1, 000, 000 annually expended by Illi nois is uullicicnt to build good roads throughout the State. Hut wo do ad; that the farmers will let the Slate do i Hie work, according to an approved ' system, and not work out their poll t .1 v by pretending to build good roads. Not thai they do not mean to do their best sj far as they know or have the ability, but they have not the facili ties and oaunot do the work as it Hlioul I be done. VVe know that under the proper system a good rural road can In made for less money than it now costs. We want, if possible, to see the poll tax reduced to Si, but "want the farmers to pay that ^dollar into the Stale treasury, instead of working it ? out. as is now the ease, and WO OXj ect to convinap him that it will be to his advantage to <io it.

The (loveruor, in reply, said he was [da 1 to meet ><?. many earnest chain pi !?; i oi the good roads movement. He thought i' unnecessary to assure them of his hearty sympathy with their cause. Thin State must have good roads and we must improve our methods of communication, especially m the rural districts. The (loveruor toiid that ho thought thai, as u rule, tin' members of the Legislature would respect the wishes of those whom they reoreaentcd when the people got those wishes properly formulated, lie, there fore, urged them to organize and make the strenglh and sincerity of their purposes apparent. ^ hen this is done, the (loveruor said, the difficulty , of getting appropriations would end. The (Jovernor said he thought the delegates were getting the movement in good shape bv such meetings as the one they were now holding here, and lie hoped the convention would bear iruitMn practical resiwta. The (tood Ilo.i ls Convention fidopt cd a resolution that it was tlii sense ? of the convention that there should t>?? no amendment of the II igbie- Arm strong bill this year. The delegates decided to a dv the Legislature for an appropriation of SI ,000,000. which is considered the amount necessary to be paid l?v the SUite for a proper iuaut, ur.ition of the work. A proposition in favor of the omplovmcjnt of convicts ?>n the roads was appro veil. A lloioe iCxnmplc. < ?t to Dnrnor, l.'hairman of the L. A. VV.

The eeleuce of refrigeration and the con utructlon of refrigerator ships and re frigerator earn has reached gudi ft high Mato that It Is now possible to ralso fruit, It might ho bald, In almost any part of tho world, and carry it to any other part. The fact has been for years demonstrated by tho shipment of carcasses from Australia to England by tho shipload, w hero an enormous trade has boon built tip. The same principle can be applied to the transportation of ; fruits. A very large proportion of tho ! product of California Is now shlppe<|M eastward In refrigerator cars, and some I of tho 11 nest fruits on display In tho East come from that State in this way. The agriculturist* In the South have re cently had their attention directed to tho advisability of diversifying crops by the high price paid for garden pro ducts. Tho mnrkot garden has or lato years become a very important fuctor in southern agricultural economy. Enterprising capitalists, since the de velopment of Mexico by railroads have been looking at tho possibilities of cll puite there, and have taken steps In j some cases to establish plantations for | tho growth of fruits on a large scale, which It is their Intention to ship by re frigerator processes to United States ports and then to Inland points. The well based. There appears to bo no ] reason why garden truck could not bo ! raised in Mexico and delivered safely J and profitably to a great many cities i and towns throughout the Fulled j Slates. A great many products there j are four to eight weeks ahead of the I South. Dairy farming has become very profitable. Milk in largo cities sells ii t 25 cents in Mexico; butter at .'50 j to -18 cents a pound. 1 .;d>or costs only from 1'J to 25 cents a day. Sugar cane turned into brown Rtigar yields from $70 to $U5 an acre gross. (Jreen barley and corn are raised in largo quantities for fodder. Cattle ralslnjr since the Spanish vrnr has been greatly stimulated, and tho t.'estern cattlemen are now* there lay ing the foundations for big ranches. Wheat is cultivated on the high table lands of Contra I .Mexico, but l^.jy^not as good as that grown in tho States.
