OUR G « n « r « l S to n e S a « g e jit a m G r e a t N a t i o n a l H i g h w a y Acroffiffi t k c C o n t i n e n t — H o w t b e C a s t W e n l d B e D is t r ib u t e d . At the recent semiannual meeting of the Good Roads association In Brook lyn General Boy Stone, who was the prlncli»al speaker, said In part: •‘During the last decade o f the clos ing century the best effort of u great body of earnest men has been devoted to awakening the American public to the fact, already patent to tbe rest of the world, that the condition o f our public hlgliwuys ts a reproach to our civilization, a bar to our progress and a stain upon our system of govern ment. “ Tw o plans have occurred to me as hopeful In the course of many years’ study of the subject. The first plan, which I will ouly Indicate, is to use the postal savings. Every civilized nation but ours and some of the half civilized give their people the benefit of govern ment savings banks. We refuse It to ours ostensibly because we cannot find a proper Investment for their mouey, but really because the private banking Interests of the c<fiintry stand In watchful opposltlou to the measure. When this opposition can be overcome, postal savings banks can be establish ed to tbe great advantage of the rural districts and the general welfare, and the money can be Invested In country road bonds, guaranteed by the state, these bonds bearing a rate of interest so low that it can be generally paid out of existing road taxation and run ning so far luto the future that their final payment will not be a matter of 1 serious concern. “ The second plan is based on tbe experience of our country in building railroads. We have built half of the railway mileage of the w’orld without taxation, except In rare Instances, and have spent In doing so three times ns much money ns is needed now to make good wagon roads for the whole coun try. How have we raised this vast amount? Mainly by uuticipatihg the benefits of the railroads, borrowing the money to build them and letting them pay for themselves out o f their earnings or pay such a rate of Interest on the money borrowed as will con tent its owners to let it remain on long loans or In perpetuity. The benefits of improved highways do not show in earnings, since their use is free, but they appear quite as plainly In the en hanced value of adjacent and neigh boring lauds, and if this class of bene fits can bo anticipated and made avail able to procure the means of road building, we shall be able to build rends ns easily us we have built rail roads. But this requires the Interven tion of the government, state or na tional. and the use of the public credit in some form to carry the work through until Its local benefits are re alized and the beneficiaries are enabled to assume Its cost. Meanwhile, how ever. the government can secure itself by n Hen 011 the property benefited and ultimately will be repaid for Its risks through n notable Increase of taxable values and the development of general prosperity. “ What can the national government do as a worthy lesson In this line? Lot It bo o national highway, a continental boulevard, the greatest and t»est road In the world!

These lines would traverse or touch two-thirds of all the states in the Union. “Tbe road should be worthy of Its builders and of the age—broad steel tracks for carriages, bicycle, bridle and foot paths, plenty of shude and foun tains. pleuty of room on the borders for ornamentation, trees aud plants, not sot iu stiff rows, but artistically grouped or scattered aud forming for all passersby continuous and practical lessons In forestry, floriculture and landscape art. “ All things considered, It would not be wise to estimate its coat at less than $20,000 a mile. “ The equitable distribution of the cost would not be so difficult as It might seem. The general government would naturally build through the pub lic lands and reservations and the Dis trict of Columbia and the territories In their portion. Through the state a fair distribution according to the benefits would perhaps be one-fourth to the federal government a ml the same to the state and one-half to the lands In the zone of local benefit. This zone would not be less than five miles in width aud on each side of the road, making 0.400 acres to the mile of road. Ten tTiousand dollars for this area would be about $1.50 an acre on the average, but the assessment should be adjusted according to proximity and value, ranging, say. from $5 on the best abutting lands down to 50 cents on the poorest or most distant. To lighten even this burden to Impecuni ous laud owners the government could safely advance tbe money at a low rate of interest, taking Hens on the property and lot tho owners pay It off at their convenience by paying the iu- •terest and a little more annually. On the highest assessment the Interest at 2Va per cent would be 12V4 cents an acre annually aud ou the lowest 1^4 cents. “The general advance In value of the property along the line would enhance the national wealth by hundreds of millions, while so grand a lesson In l!ic benefits of good roads would stim ulate road building everywhere.” They A re W o n d e r fu lly G ood L a y e r s o f E x trii o f F a i r S ls e . There is conclusive evidence that tho “ Chinese goose," as described by many of the European writers upon poultry, Included within its ranks 50 years ago the types of three breeds, In all proba bility approximating the breeds we In America now call African, Brown Chi na and White China. The Brown and White Chinas are tarly and prolific «layers of fair sized eggs. I f well fed, they not Infrequent ly lay In the autumn mouths, but gen erally those which »lo so lay later aud fewer eggs the following spring. At the experiment station in 1800 and 1897 the White Chinns laid In every month from January to June, Inclusive, while the Brown Chluas did not begin laying until February, but continued W H IT * C H IN A GKK8B. laying freely Into June. The African and Embden breeds laid about half as many eggs, In proportion to females, kept In February, as the Chinas ami nearly finished laying by June L In 1897 one African egg was laid In Janu ary. The Toulouse breed la hi about all their eggs in throe months. March to May Inclusive, ns In the two years ouly ' one egg was Iah! In February and two in June by the eight females kept. China geese are not favorites with those who raise goslings for sale to poultrymen who fatten them and put them on the market as green geese. They are too small to lie profitable for such a market. When a small boned, moderate sized goose Is required for the fall or Christmas trade, those breeds prove valuable, ns they lay well, and, with proper care In selecting breeding stock, large flocks should bo raised. The Brown Chinas especially seem very vigorous, hardy and active, but pick hard and require care In dressing to look well. The White Chi na has with us been the poorer breed er, but Is usually not so difficult to pick and handsomer In appearance when dressed.—Report of Rhode Isiaud Ex periment Station. l l o r f I c n U v r n i X o te a .
