SPRING THE TIME FOR fiOAD WORK So Says Department of Agriculture, 6000 WHEN SOIL IS DAMP, If Attention to Roads Is Put Off Until the Latter Part of Summer tho Sur face Becomes Dry and the Toil Ex pended la Unsatisfsotory, It Is a great mistake to put off working- road until August ot September, according; to rond experts of the Unit ed Slates department of agriculture. The roads should be worked when the aoll Is damp so as to make the soil bake when It dries ouL If the rosds are wo:ked when they are dry It takes more power to draw the machine, and besides, dry earth and dust retain moisture and quickly rut after rains. The use of clods, sods, weeds or vege table matter In building edrtb roads should be avoided because they also retain moisture. Ily using the road machine In the spring while the soil la soft and damp the surface Is more easily shaped and soon pucks down Into a dry, bsrd crust. which Is less liable to become dusty in summer and muddy In winter. Repairs to roads should be mad when needed and not once a year aft er crops are laid by. Because of its simplicity, efficiency and cheapness. the spilt log drag or some similar de vice Is destined to come Into more and more general use. With the drag prop erly built and Its use well understood, the maintenance of earth and gravel roads becomes a simple and Inexpensive mutter. Care should be taken to make the log so light that one man can lift It with ease, as a light drag can be drawi by two medium sized horses and responds more readily to various meth ods of hitching and the shifting posi tion of the operator than a heavier one. The best material for me drag Is ife V , V 4. I ' 4 ' f ( Vit ' . " K THS WIDTH OF THB BUBTH UOU WILL DEPEND ON TUB TUAFFIO. a dry cedur log, though elm. walnut, box elder or soft maple are excellent. Ouk, hickory or ash is too heavy. The log should be from seven to ten feet long and from eight to ten Inches In diameter. It Bbould be split care fully as near the center as possible and the heaviest and best slab chosen for the front. When the soil Is moist, but not sticky, the drag does the best work. As the soil In the held will bake If plowed wet, so the road will bake If the drag Is used on It when It Is wet If the roadway Is full of holes or badly rutted the drag should be used once when the road la soft and slushy. The earth road can best be crowned and ditched with a road machine and not with picks aud shovels, scoops and plows. One road machine with a suit able power and operator will do th work of many men with picks and shovels and. In addition, will do It bet ter. If the road Is composed of fine clay or soil It will sometimes pay to resurface It with top soil from an ad jacent field which has sand or gravel mixed with It Storm water should be disposed of quickly before It has had time to pene trate deeply Into the surface of the road. This can be doue by giving the rond a crown or slope from the center to the sides. For an earth road which Is twenty-four feet wide the center should le not less than six Inches nor more than twelve Inches higher than the outer edges of the shoulder. The narrow rond wblch Is high In the mid dle will become rutted almost as quick ly as one which Is flat for the reason that on a narrow road all the traffic 1 forced to use only a narrow strip. The width of the esrth road will de pend on the traffic. As a rule, twenty live or thirty feet from ditch to ditch Is sufficient if the road is properly crowned. Ordlnnrlly the only ditches needed are those made with the road machine, which are wide and shallow. Deep narrow ditches wash rapidly, es pecially on steep slopes. The earth mad should not be loosened, dug up or plowed up any more than Is necessary. It should e gradually raided, not low ered; hardened, not softened. Blown Window Glees. Window glasa Is blown In the shape of long cylinders, which are cut open along one side and then placed on a stone in a hot furnace, where they gradually collapse and flatten out Into a big sheet of glass. Often the glasa breaks during this process, or even ex plodes, forming thonsands of piece, wblch shoot in all direction. BtrongMt Hair.
