The clfice of ro;id inquiry of the department of agriculture lms com pleted an interesting investigation relating to the use ol the common roads of tho United States, lie turns have been received from about 1,200 counties, showing the average length of haul from farms to markets of shipping points to be 12 miles; the average weight of a load for two horses, 2,000 pounds; and the average coBt per ton per mile 25 cents, or $2 for the enliie haul. Estimating the fa'ui pro ducts at 219,824,227 tons in weight and making estimates on other ar ticles carried over the roads, it is calculated that tho aggregate ex pense of this transportation in the United States is $95b4 4, C.G5 per annum. Reports have been linked from the United Sutes consuls abroad of the expense of hauling where the roads are (iood, so us to render if possible a calculation which will show how much of this arge outlay is due to bud roads. The estimate is ventured, however, upon information in tlm office of road inquiry, counting the loss of time in reaching markets, the en forced idleness and the wear and tear to live toek and hauling ma chinery caused by poor ronds, that two-thirls of the cost might lie saved by an improvement of the roads.
