The pioneer good roads builders of the West were the sturdy farmers or tho southeastern Dart of Pike county, .Mo., who-in the early fifties began the agitation tor uigujvuy iuiuuvcuiuh which crystallized In May, 1857, In the organization of a company to construct a gravel road from the city of Clarks vlllo to the village of Paynesvllle, a dlstnnce of ten miles. The. road, .probably' the first gravel road ever built west of the Mississippi river, was completed iin 18C0 and is a fine piece of good roads engineering. It Is doubtful if its qunl can be found in the entire couutry, says a writer in The Good Roads Magazine. It was the nucleus of a general system of high wny Improvement in Pike county, whidvnow owns and maintains more than fifty miles of splendid gravel and macadamroads. Calumet townshlpi alone has mora than, thirty miles of gravel road, whose fame" Ib country wide. Tho belt road, ;wtiich, has its beginning and end in OlnrkBvllle, is 'twenty-one miles long and .forms :a loapJUrfto the rich agricul tural region in tho rear of the town, making communication between city and country easy and delightful. That good ronds building pnys is at tested by the fuct that Calumet town ship boasts of being the richest agriculr tural township In the world, its wealth being, greater than the'Bum that Thom as Jefferson paid for tho entire Louisi ana purchase $15,000,000. Million aires, seeklntr an ideal retreat for a country home, have erected magnifi cent mansions along this highway, and Wcnlthyfarmers Hvein easy comfort within a stone's throw' of the famous road, their chief recreation being dally drives In handsome rubber tired car riages over its smooth grovel surface. The Clarksvllle and Paynesvllle road was orlcinally built uy a corporation known as the Clnrksville. Pralrievillo and Paynesvllle Ilond company. The projectors of the road -operated upon tho broad principle that the public should be tho beneficiary of highway Improvement, nnd It is a matter of pride to the people of the county thnt not one alollar of dividends was ever prtl'd by any Pike county-road company to its stockholders. The roads were not t A ltOAI) IN MISSOURI. built to grind out dividends. ;They wero built forUhe people, for .tho communi ty's good. They have always been op erated ns toll roads, those who use them willingly paying the small fee ex acted for the privilege. The county encouraged the early good ronds builders by offering to become an equal shareholder with tho people. The municipality of Clarksvillo subscribed ..USE PURE..

The uniform width of 'the roads tiilrtv feet. In their construction grade twenty feet wide was thrown up on the route of tue survey. Home pur innH of tho ronds cross many hills and valleys, making considerable grading necessary in places. Upon tho graded bed a stratum of gravel twelve Inches deep was originally laid. The road was then ready for use, and a few months of traffic packed the gravel so souaiy thnt it hecame as smooth as a floor. Among the later benefits derived by the community from the splenuiu ronu system is tho establishment of a rural free delivery mall route by tho (govern ment Tho carriers leave Clnrksville at 8 o'clock each morning nnd by noon have completed the circuit of the town ship, delivering the day's mall to near W nverv farmhouse. No tnx Is levied UDon the people for tho maintenance of 'the roads. They are sustained wholly by tho revenue derived from the tolls. While the old turnpike road, dotted here and therfc with its tollhouses, is regarded in some parts of the country as a relic of years ncmno. vet the svstem is so entirely sat isfactory and the results are so potent that there seems to be no inclination on tho nart of those most interested to discontinue the toll system. It is argued and very logically that tne county could not legally levy a tax upon all the neonle of tho county for tho main tenance of a road system peculiar to any particular .community. The ex pense of keeping tho roads In repair is not nearly equal, mile for mile, to that required to keep dirt roada in even passable condition. Bloney Well Spent. People generally are beginning to realize that roadbuilding is a public matter and thnt the best interests of American ngriculture nnd the Ameri can people as a Whole demand the con struction of good roads. WJiAT GOOD ROADS SAVE. Money the Farmer Would Pocket "tVllh Better Illtfliwayn. Former Governor of Vermont Edwin C. Smith, says the Roniq (Ga.) Tribune, has shown the saving in dollars and cents coming to the farmer by good roads by tho following effective and telling comparison of the cost of haul ing freight over railroads and prininry roadsln Vermont: "I have taken pains to have statis tics prepared to show the cost of trans portation of the products of Vermont from various towns which He away from the line of the railroads to the railroads as compared with the cost of transporting the same nrtlcles from the railroad to market. From these statis tics it appears that on butter, lumber, granite, lime, brick nnd hay tho rate Is $2.50 to $4 per ton to team .from the point of production to tho railroad, whilo the rate to haul tho same ar ticles from tho railroad station to the point of consumption is from $3.40 per ton down to $1.00 per ton. "In none of the instances does tho hail) 'by team exceed twelve miles; in none of the instances is the haul by rail less than 140 miles. The rates by railroad will never, In my judgment bo higher, so that whatever can be saved by Improved roads .out of the cost of teaming these products ought to go into the pockets of the producers of the hay or butter or the lumber or granite or whatever Is teamed. "The standard authorities give the saving in cost of teaming over good ronds ns compared to ordinary dirt roads to bo from 50 to 75 per cent. So that there is from $1.25 to $3 for every ton of freight teamed to go into tho pocket of the producer in Vermont if only good roads aro made where bad ones now exist." Snfceunrdtner nimaelf, "Are you a detective?" asked Mr. Meekton. "I nm," nnswered tho mnn with the turndown collar nnd tho white necktie. "Well, I want to employ you.

" PRICES OF STALLIONS. mhr D,,ne i Oood n For IIore Dreeder. Some people affect to see in the pricS paid at the Faslg-Tlpton sale for the Daly and Spier stallions evi dence that the breeding of trotters nnd pacers for racing purposes is not 1 ke ly to become a much more lucrative business than it Is now. They say thnt with times as good as they arc now, commercially speaking, Bow Bells, Prodigal, Ponce de Leon, Adbell and Directum ought severally to have brought twice as much ns they actual ly did. We cannot agree with these people, says The Breeder's Gazette. It is true that the stallions named did not bring very large prlces-thnt is, com pared with prices that have been paid for stallions of the highest class in years now long gone by-but the very fact thnt they did not bring any more money proves, to us at least that the business is in a very healthy and healthful condition. The men who paid nil sortB of sums from $50,000 for trot ting bred stallions in the days of the boom never realized any profit on their investments, nnd some stallions after the bubble was pricked were sold for fewer hundreds than thousnnds hnd been paid for them. The business has been placed on n commercial basis. That Is why these stallions named did not bring more money. It has been said by more than ono well posted breeder with plenty of ex perience to amply wnrrnnt his being listened to that a mare owner cannot afford to pay more than $100 for the services of a horse. Some go so far as to place $50 as the extreme limit of the stallion fee a breeder can afford to pay. Every one knows thnt it takes around six years' time to get a roadster or bug gy horse, on the mnrket in shape to sell at his full value. It costs a good deal to feed htm, to brenk nnd manner him nnd to sell him. When to nil this is add ed the service fee, the keep of his dnm for at least a couple of years and the otheV Incidental expenpes, It will be seen that quite a good price must be obtained for him to make ends meet, let alone a profit. How mnny fonls nre actually paid for to the owners of these great stallions ench season? Sir. T. W. Lnwson pnld $0,300 for Ponce.de Leon. Figuring in, the insurance on the horse's life or a sinking fund to become lnrge enough to replnce him in a given num ber of years according to the views of the owner, the keep nnd all the other expenses, whnt is the net profit de rived at the end of a service season from such a horse? There is no means of telling unless the owner actually places the figures before the public, but It will be some years before the horse has won his purchnse price bnck nnd pnld all his current expenses besides. How ninny foals does a horse of this caliber beget annually? N'ot many. The owner Is paid In tho majority of in stances for only those foals the horse actually begqts, for If lie charges by tho season ho has ns a rule to give a re turn privilege, nnd tho returns become greater and greater yenr by year, nat urally putting down the ability of the stallion to serve fresh mares. So, then, so far from being an Indica tion of impending trouble, we think that the prices pnld for the stallions mentioned betoken that breeders nre now operating with their eyes open and their ears atuned to the teachings of tho times. If breeders cannot afford to pay more than $100 at the most for tho services of a stallion, they will not pay more, aud at that sort of a fee it take's a long timo to get $10,000 bnck, even though tho horse bought Is one of the most promising of sires, young and sound. When It comes to buying a horse for advertising purposes, thnt Is quite another story, for then the desire Is not to make money directly from the services of the horse, but from the added fame and notoriety lie may bring to tho concern or Individual thnt purchases him. An nrtlcle In American Agriculturist on canker sore in young pigs says: mis uiseaso invariably annenrs in young pigs from the time of birth to n rew weeKs old.

Borne rolnt. on FeedlnK nn.1 Slttln nnd the Cnre of Go.llnp. In answer to queries received by the American Poultry Journal and referred to Mrs. B. F. Hlslop that lady writes: We have never raised geese by con fining the flock to a certain amount of ground nnd can hardly say how many birds could be accommodated on two mid a half to four acres the entire sea son through, but if the land Is kept producing all tho grass or other green forage It will there could be quite a tlock kept in this space, but there Is one thing sure-to get the best returns from geese they should at all times have an abundnnce of green food dur ing the warm season or while the stock Is breeding and tho young stock grow ing. Old geese can rough It nnd can ttand very short rations In the winter, nnd we really believe that they are bet ter breeders on nccount of It, although we give our birds quite good care since we became Interested In the fancy. Were wo to start, as your correspond ent proposes, we should start with about two pens, not more than three. I say "pens" because one has better success all around by mating ono male with from two to four females before the mating season commences. After all tho eggs are set the first two clutches are nil a big breeder cun afford to set, as late ones require too much care. The old birds can tlien ue nm in nno flnok. saviuc room and trou ble. The number of goslings raised from one goose is affected so much by conditions that we can hnrdly give any certain number ns a rule. If there Is au average-of twelve, we should con sider it excellent. Tho most wo have ovor raised was seventeen. We had five others that wo let die by not knowing how to cnre for tho late hatched ones, but we only had one fe- nmlo mated to the male. This was not because we think single mating is tho best, but because there Is nlwnys bet ter success with n small flock. This is true of all domestic fowls. We would row clover, as It Is hardy and produces abundantly, but mixed with other crosses we find that blue grass ns n body makes the best pasture. Wnter grass and wild rice will no doubt ue fine for the nool. The goslings, unless the wenther Is warm, should be permitted to swim in the pool. They may be kept within bounds bv a fence of wire netting ono and a hnlf to two feet high, or a twelve Inch board will pen them till they nre bltr. We do not nnnrove of keep ing them in close quarters after they nre ten days or two weeks old. Exer cise Is good for them as well as other fowls, although they can be reared with very little. In such cases, how ever, the vlL'or is not all that it should be. The goslings mny be driven or coax ed anywhere and are so easily handled that In ease of n rainstorm they can bo driven to shelter nnd will most likely seek it themselves if taught to do so. Lntenthered goslings cannot stand much rain. Do not feed grain till the vounc aro throe davs old. but see that they aro well supplied with green food, drinking water nnd grit. During this period wo feed them corn bread or mash. Wo have never set goose eggs In an Incubator, but would give a chicken lion six or seven irnnso oeis ihnt wmilil ordinarily cover fifteen hen eggs. In stnrtlng, a breeder Is supposed to start with good, vigorous birds. Females should be two years old If he wishes io raise quite a number of goslings from each goose. The birds should l ie elven care, ranee, wntnr m-it mwi n iihio r ---- ...... (,UV grain during the breeding season. The lemaies snouiu not bo permitted to sit ou the first clutch of eggs.
