Next (o fencing and building, no thing adds no much to tho real value of farms as good wagon roads Xow Hint (he country is being ojicncd up by railroads, It becomes important to tho furinor to liuvo a passable road on wlili-Ii lio can transport his stir plus produce to market. Heretofore luring tho winter months Micro lias lioon hut lltllo work dono on tho funiw, utiil as u natural oiiscepionoe' tlio productive Industry of thu agri cultural population has hecu at a Maiid-Mtill in the winter, and In fact :i large' portion of the producers have hocoine consumers during such pe riod. This has been the rea.-on why wheat and other farm produce have not heen raised as cheaply In tliN country as In others When the far mer can only carry on operations du ring one hair of the year, he mii-t receive a compensation Tor the six iiiouths he lahors thai will enahle him to live through tlio -I.v mouths of suspension ; and ll' the price of grain will not presold a margin of profit Milllcleut (o porinil this, he, as i mailer of ucccslly, must itilt grain-growing. I'lidcr (he pro- existing ciiiiillllou oi mo wagon roads and menus of Iran-poilntlon In this Stale, and lo -nine extent yel existing, II Is not only liicumlieiit on the fanner lo grow his crop eluiing the dry months, hul he inii-t with draw all his tenuis and hands from the farm and place (hem on the road In order lo got his crop w Ithiu reach of a market hefore the lunil-coa.-o to iMtof any pr.icllcahle u-e on account of (he mild. In view of the short distance thai any of (he farms In (his valley are situated from tho ihernr railroad'', the matter of mud-making does not prc-onl a ery formidable' harrier. Thai good roads can he made In Hits country, there Is no douht. .Suppose that a good road he laid out, constructed, and Improved, on Mich a route from each neighbor hood that It will pa-s Iiy the railroad station directly toward the ware house on the river. Then, In haul ing to market, If the price of grain at the railroad did not Milt the farm er, he could Just crack his whip at the railroad monopoly, and indepen dently drive down to the river ware house and .ship on the people's line, If they are m lucky as to have one. In this view of the ease, you mt'Iiow Important II is to have your wagon roads Judlelouly located. The far mer can control these wagon roads and they ought lo .study routes and lines, ni as to .secure the host I oca lion, and thou none of the lulx.r in opening and Improving them would wo lost. With good roads, the teams and hands can he employed on the farm until the rainy season sis u, and then the .same teams that were uod In raising the crops would ho amply "iitlkieut to got It to market in good time. The teams and hands must live during: the winter, hut they do not live at a prollt if there is no grain to market, or other lahor to he engaged in. Wo do not pretend that good road would enahle the farmer to employ the whole rainy season protltahly, hut they would certainly add two or throe months to the prof itable operations of the year, and give the farmer time to plant ami sow many more acres of gndn than he can at present. Not only the farmers, hut also the merchants ami mechanics of the vil lages, an. Interested In this matter, As regularly as our winter rains come, there comes an Increase in the price of living. This can only 1k met hy Increasing wages and protlts on merchandise and goods It is not alone the farmers and their teams who toll and sweat along our heavy winter mails that Miller, hut the hlacksmlth must either strike more Mows, or charge more for those he does strike, because the wood or coal hauled through tho mud and mire has cost him more cash than if de- TJl0 (.olt N ))orn wMx twelve grind- i.;iiToii Fah.mimi : Relying upon t certainly approve the Idea of clcct llvered over good roads; and so CM . wjlc,n Tmr frot teeth have vmlr well-known liberality to letallig tho purest and best men to tho wumHm!i-inuoi.m..cs hoi.... ...... ..-, therefore, unite to get rid of this mud tax, by building good roads IIIIUAIUV'S IMIMIIHTOItS.
