TO THE FARMERS:
Since the date of am last advertisement to
all the land held by ou we have sold n n behalf of thenvard ious
Loan Companies we represent. except the
Shaw farm of 200 acres in Kinloss, and which
we are offering very cheap and on very easy'
terms of payment.
Several farmers have, however, placed
their farms in our hands for sale, so that we
hope to be able to apply the bulk of the
demand for farms as heretofore. But a, on: -
sales exceeded 1000 acres last spring we would
request those in want of a cheap farm to apply
early, as the spring time will now soon be
here. We can ,,,,rant very reasonable terms of
payment for all our sales and. a low rate of
interest,
. If you wish to renew or change you mort-
gage, or put a new mortgage on your farm, or
send money away in payment of the interest
or principal of your mortgage, we can guaran-
tee yon satisfaction and at a very trifling
expense, •
We lend money on' farmers' notes for `long
or short time, and can supply all demands on
reasonable terms, Sale notes a specialty.

ROAD IIHPRO1EMENT.
To the Editor of the Sentinel.
The press of the IT. S. and Canada
have for some time been agitating for
a reform in our .system of road
improvement, while the SENTINEL, pan_
certainly be credited with contributing
its share towards the press literature
on the Subject. That a reform is
necessary wuat beeverywhereadmitted,
at least to all who have given the
question a careful study. The ques-
tion whicL naturally' suggests itself to
a student of the subject is, "are we
having our roads.. improved in a
manner consistent -with the amount of
money and labor they are cr<�dited
with. This is the key to the ntject,
and consequently follows a reflection
on the 'practices which obtain, or of the
system or rather want of system now
in operation in 'regard to rad improve-
ment. •
Our roads are maintained and'' kept
in repair by cash grants fr,run tI e
municipality and by• statute labor, ,of
-the--latter I` will -t`reat—firs t: '5tifute
labor is a statutory enactment compel
ling each percon,accordino to assess-
ment, as apps;rtioned by the uirunicipa!-
ity in which he resides to perform a
certain,number of, days work on the
highway under the; direction of an
agent for the municipality, , styled a
path master. The office though remu-
nera.tiv, in a pecuniary sense, is allow-
ed, by custom I suppose, to pass
around among the ratepayers, year by
year, so that none may take offs:,
an apparent slighting
tion of offices amongst the .people of
the municipality. Now it cannot be
denied that right here is the beginning'
of the great farce in the so called
system of road improvement.
• Road making is an act possessing .a
number of well defined principles, the
contravention of which will always
result in loss and disappointment - to
the general public. The path masters
are not selected for their fitness for
th osition, for their known •ability,
oundness of their theory in regard
e subject which is entrusted to
domination for,. the time. How
men are not competent to man -
number of workmen to so divide
ork and arrange his mean and
that'thegreatest amount of work

or hindrance. ' How often have
en so arranged by a p. M. to be a

I think not. The Council appointed
the several members of council as
road commissioners for their respective
divisions to expend a stated amount
of money, where they deem most
necessary, jobs are advertised and let
to -the lowest bidder, • .But here we
have areocurrence of the avant of system
as found under the path nester regime
r'neh CPmmissioner has his own ideas
about road making, but it does not
always follow that they are correct
ones and usually the same want of
uniformity manifests itself to an obser-
ver under this department in road
making as formerly mentioned in
statute labor. We `find gravelling, as
that is the work principally done by
money grants, not 'put on quite so
sparingly probably as underthe former
system, but frequently, placed in • the
cet:tre of the road so high and narrow,
about 12 inches deep and 4 feet wide
in bottom and rounded off like a pota-
tue pit in a field. A team hauling a
heavy load on this is walking not on a
flat and level surface . as they _ ought •
•but- upon a side hill as it were with• an
angle of 45 degrees, which is not
pleasant for the horse or "conducive
to soundness in his joints as he is
walking on one side of his foot all the
time, while the wheels. are going half
axle deep in mud sometimes with a
mound of dry gravel between them a
foot deep; surely this System of gravel
ling would never commend itself to
any person giving the slightest thought
to sound principles in the construction
of good roads. Then how often do

sods, mixed with the gravel �a load here
and there, which- soon causes a wet
hole in the road, yet the contractors,
usually get off and are paid in full as
if they had put on clean gravel. The
councillor afraid" of his seat at next
election, must'pass the jobs or lose a
vote and his popularity, for ° we must
admit that in the majority of cases.
A councillor 'in a township is S'el'ected
not for his business ability,. not for his
known ability in • the, construction ° of
roads, which is an important part of his
work, but .because of his popularity.
In fact it would seem often in a - con-
test for 'municipal honors, it was
simply a contest 'for expressed pope-
larity and the commissioner who. is
afraid of losing his popularity must
accept work improperly performed and
thus cor-sciously mis appropriate the
peoples money. .
I have pointed 'out a few of the
defects in the present system, and the
reasons why they should not be longer
acceptable to the general public. We
must strive by agitation and otherwise
to perfect a system which will furnish
us better roads with the expenditures
put upon them: We want a Uniform
system of road construction established
by statute for the present want of
. System has continued far too long.
President Harrison of the U. S. has
said : "A • want of system and ,under-
standing has resulted in the almost
useless expenditure of enough money
and labor to have provided• the settled,
portions of,our county with good sub-
stantial roads." /
What would apply in the U. S. will
apply with equal force herein Canada.
Let no not rest until we bring about
the desired result that what money
shall hereafter be expended, may be
done with wisdom and' intelligence
° and in conformity with well established
principles on the subject, as laid down
by experts in the>work, with the ulti-
mate view • of securing practically
perui;rnent,and substantial highways.
is noted for an age of progress
and it is simply indesirable that we
should continue in a way which has
been generally conceded to be behind
they age, and from which we could not
in- fut;er7, expect any better results
than in the past. Hoping to hear the
views of some of -my brother farmers
on the subject. I subscribe myself.
