Just three times us great as It would be

ed Htatm. TI10 average life of the farm
horse Is shortened several years by the
bad roads; livo stock in general la less

ronds. When the f armor of today drives
his fattened hogs to market over a
country rood be expects them to lose n
great many pounds of flesh In making
tho trip. If the roads were smooth and
hardened by macadam tho loss would
be curtailed and bla net profit that

The averago speed along a country
road today Is fivo to six miles 1111 hour
. with a farm wagon. With a good
i team of horses It is possible to drive
liftoeu and even twenty miles an hour.
There are comtnuiiltiea in Illinois
where the roads aro so winding and
cut up by ruts that a lightly loaded
buggy drawn by two good farm horses
cannot reach over nn eight mile gait

know, Is hard on the animal. It re
duces the flesh very quickly. The
roads of tho rouutry should be In such
Condition as to do away with all steep

bo extended by several years and tho
cost of his feed would also be lessened

wheat from tlio farm to the station

As a rule tlie trees In a town have a
hard time of It receiving little or no
attention. Unless they are treated with
an Intelligent understanding of their
requirements they will not thrive. The
aspect of the streets cannot Improve as
long ns property owners plant a troe
or not In front of their property, as It
suits them, and retain full control of
It, chopping off llml) and otherwise
mutilating It, as they see fit Entire
control of the planting and pruning of
ahndn trees should be taken by the
town, and under the direction of some
nerson who has knowlcdgo of their t-
oiilrements In tlmo long rows of ver
dure would border the thoroughfares.
In a paper read before a horticul
tural society recently some useful sug
gestions ns to planting trees In towns
were irivon as follows:
"It makes little difference whether

that It lie not In direct contact, who me

to do some pruning. Just bow much
Is determined by examining tne roots,

Probably not one of the towns nnu
cities that did not tako kindly to the

some of the towns that the parks have
earned money for the taxpayers, and
from a financial point of view are goon
Investments, writes M. O. Stone III the
Iletiew of Kovlcws.
Attractive parks now occupy large
areas that for years were obstructions

that real estato near their park terri
tory has Increased In valuation greatly
beyond the average Increase ill other
parts of their cities.
Ten years ago the bonnl of purK
commissioners of Huston reported that
the Increase In the value of lands near
the Hack Hay system had been over
WS) per cent. Muring the same time
the value of lands In the rest of the
city had Increased In value but 1H per
