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

THS WIDTH OF THB BUBTH UOU WILL

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.
