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

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
