How Good Roads Benefit a Community.
The splendid road conditions exist
ing on the continent cf Euro po can be
duplicated here. The question is one
for tho people themselves to solve,
and it is actually being solved in the
United States to day by the voluntary
action of communities in various sec
tions of the country. For example, ?
beard that there wcro soma especially
good stone road? boin/: constructed in
thc State of Keir York, so I went there
myself, and to make sure that I should
make s thorough test I went in the
midst of a January thaw. \ I gota pair
of horses and i light buggy t?test
other roads around the country, and I
found that with a great- deal of diffi
culty I could cjrtve over them. But
in the seotion where the farmers had
been building the stone road I found
that two tons of hay were being hauled
with two horses on a common narrow
tired wagon.
I said to tho farmers: "How did
you get started in this business of
building roads?" They said: "We
.started it ourselves, we thought we
could do something, as our fields aro
full of Btone, with stone fences along
thc road, so wc scraped together
enough money to bay a rook crusher,
hired an engine to run it and arranged
to bring in the stones and haul baek
tbe crushed stones." They have ac
tually gone so far as to petition the
Legislature for the pri^Isgso? increas
ing their taxation boyend what the
law allowed, and the result is that all
tbe farmers in that Township are anx
iously waiting for the ro-ds to be ex
tended in their particular neighbor
hoods.
I said to them: "Doeai't this pile
up your taxes?" ''Why," one farmer
said, "in this ono week, by the advan
tage of having the?e stono roads and
getting to market with my hay, when
it sells at a good price, n?y teams have
camed $5 every day, while my neigh
bors' teams on the other roads are
eating their heads off. We could not
afford to have their roads; we do not
care anything about the taxation."
A bright statistician, taking the
railroad returns of freight and the
amount of it that is hauled over the
publio roads, makes the needless oost
of removing the farm products of the
United States to be $600,000,000 a
year. Prof. Latta, of Pardue Univer
sity, investigated it from the point of
view of the farmers of Indiana. In
that State they have some good roads,
not the highest class of roads, but
about 10,000 miles of very good gravel
roads. He found from tho ?reports of
tbe farmers themselves that the differ
ence between good and bad roads was
78 cents an acre annually on their
farms.
I took a broader view of it and sent
out letters to the 10,000 farmers in the
United States who had been selected
aa the best representative men to gath
er statistics for the department of ag
riculture. Taking the proper cost to be
tbe present cost to the farmers in the
good roads district of New Jersey, where
there are actually as good roads as are
found in any part of Europe, I found
the cost of hauling over the ordinary
roads of the country ?B just about three
times as muoh as tbs oost of hauling
over stone roads. Where a load is
three tons on good roads it is one ton
ou thc average farm roads. The aver
age cost of hauling a ton a mile
throughout the 'United State is 25
.cents. In the New England States it
. is 32 cents, they .being more hilly and
having generally worse roads. The
cost in New Jersey was from seven to
ten cents.
The actual cost of " moving products
.is not the only loss from bad roads by
any means. Farmers lose by not be
ing able to get to market when the
market is good, by the waste of pro
ducts that eannot bo marketed at all
on account of bad roads, by not being
encouraged tooultivate things that re
quire a speedy .market, and itv a great
many other ways. The fiotual money
loss to tho farmers of tho United
States by the bad roads of the country
is not less than one quarter of the
total home value of all their products.
The total home value of the annual
products of'the farms of the United
States is about $2,500,000,000 and tho
loss by bad toads is about $600,000,
<100, so that thc.'farmers loso, or they
would lose if they could stand all that
loss themselves-one-quarter of the
^alue of all their produots by tho Wira
cost of getting them to market.
One reason why tho boards of t ade
and the commercial bodies in the
United States are getting interested
m good roads is the fact that the
whole business of the country is suf
fering for the want of them. Tako
the State Of New York, where agricul
ture ought to be more prosper JUS than
??n any other State in the Union. The
S*reat oitioa and towns of tbe State
would mala'? home market for more
toan its farmers can produce, bat for
the want of good roads, reliable all tho
5e?r rnrtml *V- v.- Yl-,?? i.,..,,,,.
, --? ?o? .iura, lensers
have no command of their own mar
kets, and the produce dealers, -oven in
ino interior citios and towns, bave no
certainty of ft regular supply from the
. surrounding farms and are therefore
-?h.* ii *v un vc ?ovu?rse to otner
otates and Canada for their supplies.
*he farmer, when he is able to get to
market, generally finds it forestalled
and himself obliged to ship tc some
distant point, while the fanners along
the railroads of the far West or the
Rood wagon roads of Ohio, Indiana,
New Jersey aud Canada are supplying
the home market.-Ger,. Roy Stone in

"Speaking of the doctrine of the

city, "I don't doubt that the' risk of
every vocation oan be Slured oat with
almost mathematical accuracy. In do
ing so, however, a mah :a liable to lose
bis peaoe of mind. You remember,
perhaps, that poor Gen. Lawton was a
St m believer io the theory, and had
calculated to a nicety exaotly what
ohance a soldier ran of being killed in
aotion. Eaoh time he came oat of
battle unscathed h? held that the odds
against him increased; and shortly be
fore he was killed the general told s
friend that he was then taking risks
equivalent to nearly three to one. 1
used to know an old railroad conduc

since '68, and strange to say, had nev

I Of course, he had innumerable nar
Lrow escapes, some of them so romarka

As he had lona since passed the maxi
mum, eaoh trip that he made in safe

his theory, that ho would be eithe
killed or maimed the next time h
went out. 'The. odds in favor of m
being injured between now and ne?

'are 17 to 5, and the odds that I wi

him alive and unhurt the peroentag
multiplied so enormously that he r<
garded eaoh safe ran as something c
less than a miracle. 'I oan't unde:

went to farming. I saw him at a st
tion not long ago, and he told i
ho never expected to leave his pis

wagon. He said he wouldn't take
railroad ride for $10,000. 'As the oe

book of .the wife of the south side d

physician in question had permit
himself to fall into the habit of indi

any and all occasions when things
not go just to suit him. Il er, plead
to have him stop had no effect, so
decided that whenever he swore in

October.
A Journal reader scads tho f illow
* *g trifles clipped from the Journal of
October 15, 1891, with the request
that it be republished:
''Wc need not consult the calendar
to discover that the fulness of October
is upon us. There is better proof of
the faot in the crisp morning air, the
deepened azure of the unflecked sky, j
the splendid but soft sunshine, the j
chili evening shadows and the crystal
line sparkle of tho stars which seem
now to marshal a host of recruits in
their inaccessible fields.*
"These evidences we have even in
the city, and they give to busy life a
new and sharper zest.
"The thrill of October penetrates
everywhere, quiokeos the fancies of
every mind that is not dogged too
thick with sordid care, and gladens
every heart that is not-hopelessly
hard.
"But we never see Oetober in her
full glory until wo find in her own
royal realm away ftum the haunts of
men. There shs works her miracle*
of beauty and enriches tho common
sir with the full fragrance of her sweet
breath. Human hands have wrought
no tapestries so lovely as those with
whioh she carpets the sward and deck s
the landscape. She transforms every
tree into a marvel of rich, warm color
and clothes the humblest bush in a
glory of raidiant raiment. The im
press of her pure, cool touch is seen
on the swaying sweetgnm, whioh has
tens to hang out its crimson banners
of &!!cgianoe on the darkened green,
and the russet of tue valiant oak, on
the brighter tints of emerald and gold
that flash through the forests from
the crests of a thousand other loyal
subjeots.
"Amid auch scenes we ean but feel
that we are in the presence and under
the spell of one of the queenliest of
all the months and that it is a privi
lege to join in the tribute whioh Na
ture lays lovingly at her feet.
"And there may ooue tho better
thought that, rightly viewed, this sea
son is one of joy-not of Badness.
That mind has hut a poor, dull vision
whioh can see nothing but an emblem
Cf death in the sere leaf and draw
nothing but sorrowful suggestions
from the autumn air. These aro but
phases of the eternal spirit of life
whioh changes its outward and acci
dental forms with the varying fea
tures of the yeer.
"The falling leaves of autumn and
the bursting lilies of spring have har
monious voices, and the one as clearly
as the other whispers to the listening
ear of faith the sweet assurance of the
resurrection .and the life."-Atlanta
Journal.
The Errors of Society.
The dark blots that divoroe makes
in society are too vasily seen and too
sad to write much ab, ut, so I will give
only a few incidents of the absurd
sud ? humiliating positions in whict
people may be placed: I once occu
pied o seat on the grand stand at thc
Newport Casino during a tonnie
match. After ? had been in my seal
for a shqrt time, a man I knew, once
divorced, bat remarried, came in witl
his wife and oconpied the two seati
on my left, and a few moments late:
thc woman from whom he had beet
divoroed, and who had also remarried
came in with her ne ff husband and sal
direotly on my right. Whether thc
ticket agent arranged iL'.3 for a joke ]
am net prepared to say, but all weni
well until I grew .ired of the game
and got up, leaving the four in t
straight row, whioh made an interest
iog picture for a few moments. Tb?
four soon realized, however, what pec;
plo ffcrc staring and smiling at, and
looking daggers at ono another, imme
diately rose and disappeared in thc
crowd. Tho incident amused thc lad:
and misses very much.
