( ftnam la lb* IM Via4 TWl \ lMhil Uiprdtablti A highly important feature of Um highways question is the effect good Of i bad roads have upon the local market* i and their sources of supply, says the 1 New York Tribune. In all the cities aod 1 large towns of the state there is a de- 1 mand for farm products and for the t bulkier and heavier products, such as hay , and straw and grain. z In many cases the surrounding coon- i try is quite eapable of supplying that c demand; in all oases it should do so as a far as possible; in most cases it does not c Instead, supplies are brought in by rail c or canal from far away, perhaps from 1 other states; while at the same time, within a few miles of the market thus J supplied, an farms that hare been 1 abandoned as not worth working and t others whose owner* are in chronio die- c content and despair at the apparent im- t ? aaMini* nwoAfnhU mnftM t |PUWUilll/ V& B?>fcU?5 IMVMM.W.V !?. far their crops. The big farms of the < west, they say, monopolize the markets, and so farming here no longer pays. < Now, one prime secret of the trouble t liea in the bad roads, which keep the 1 producer and the consumer apart by i making it difficult, if not impossible, I Car the farmer* to get their produce to i market The farmer 1,000 miles away 1 on get bis oops to market by rail or 1 oanal more easily and more cheaply thsn i the fanner only ten miles away can haul c his in over roads that are so hilly and f tough and miry that half a ton is a a heary load for a horse to draw at a slow i footpace. c It is not that farms in the east are no < laager productive, nor that the eastern i market no longer offers fair prices. It 1 la that the roads between the farms and c the markets are so bad as to make ship- i ment unprofitable.

Several week* ago the department of igricnltnx* began its first experiment i n road building at New Brunswick, i J., under the direction of E. B. larriaon, special agent of the office of Dad inquiry. The model read being considered is he first of several which the govern* nent is to build at the various ezperioeyt stations throughout the country. c Che government furnishes a rock crush- ' ir, screen, engine to drive steam roller, ' preading wagon and road grading mathine and two skilled operators.

I in inferior grade of traprock ia found n abundance near New Brunawiok and hie is being used in the substructure if the road. The superstructure is obained from tbe traprock deposits in he neighborhood of Plainfleld and the Granges. The model mrement will have a lepth of about nine incbee and the form-1 lation be made of am all, wedge shaped, i iroken stones of aa nearly the same di- [ nensiona as possible. The roadbed willj M prepared by thoroughly rolling with ; t steam roller weighing about ten tons. Srery hole will be carefully filled with j the same material that oompoeea the ' est of the roadbed, and the finished 1 toss section .will bo formed by two trades of one foot in 30 feet from the rides, uniting st the oenter, with the I ipez slightly rounded. Four inches of irnshed stone will be spread on the sarefully prepared roadbed to form the Foundation of the substructure. The argest of these stones will be crushed o fine as to. be able to easily paas brough a two inch ring, and the smallst will be about half an inch in diamIter. This foundation will then be sprinkled, making .he stone as wet as potsi)le without softening the roadbed, and ibe roller passed over it a zew times mtil the stone is only slightly disturbed ' yj tbe teams returning with the empty tarts. The first foundation is not msde leeper than four inches, because it has wen found that a greater thickness sauses the stones to "elbow" together, rearing off their sharp corners, making ibe "bonding;" which is tbe great delid^ratum. a very slow process, if not in impossibility. When tbe first foundation has been thoroughly sprinkled, a second coat of rtmilar atone three inches in thickness irill be applied. After the stone baa Men well" bonded" to this extent it will igain be sprinkled, and while very wet I this coating td traprcck screenings irill be most carefully spread over the inrface, just thick enough to fill the mall aruu>M hi>tvMn the stones.
