IMPROVING EARTH ROADS WITH CI AY
AND SAND.
IIoti t''2Ilx nnd AVzlr Tliem to Se
cure 1X20 Beat UciiulU The Toe of
ttuad Machines In Uulldlus These
Illsuwaya.
In an Interesting .address delivered at
tlio Grccnvlllo (Mlcb.) good reads con
vention Frank l Rogers, C. 2.. had
tho following to cay tegarding tho Im
provement or earth roads:
It you muct nlways bavo an earth
road and cannot get gravel or stoai at
a reasonable cost, isut clay onJbcsAn
aud sand on the clay. When these be
come suitably mixed, tboy will form it
oort of hardpan, making a very good
road surface at most seasons of the
year. Of courac, the clay Is good when
bard and dry aud tho sand quite passa
ble when the weather Is eo wet thnt
nobody wantn to travel, but to sccuro
n medium earth road, good tlio great
est number of days hi the year, that it
la possIble.Mo mnko It, this Is tbo beat
method that wo can proscribe.
It suould be borne In mlud that nei
ther Improvement la very good until
suitably mixed, nnd clay should bo ap
plied to saud iu a manner to secure
thnt mixture as speedily as possible
aud vice versa.
Decide on the width of a given road
between ditches say twenty to twenty-four
feet, not much narrower and
not much wider. Thrso arc economical
widths, and tho lack of uniformity In
this particular Is one of the greatest
evils of our lack of j-y tern In road
bulldlus all over this cop n try. Bring
the road to a suitable crcwu from
twelve to eighteen Inches above the
a!do gutters. This, howecr, vr,ll bavo
to bo vailed to meet the special needs
of drainage for the locality, anil should
n largo ditch be required on a narrow
road It should bo entirely outsldo the
regular gutter, which will protect tho
vehicles from tbo dauger of tipping
over.
To prepare tho bed It may hnvo to be
plowed toward the center, but, if bo,
do not disturb tho old roadbed unless
absolutely neccssnry. After plowing,
barrow thoroughly, tnbo a ror.cl ma
chine nnd shape tho whole bed to a
perfectly rounded shapo aud roll till
no moro compacting Is possible 'with a
roller weighing four tons or mere. A
farm roller Is of little use for tlu' pur
pose. After tbo bed Is properly shaped-aud
rolled as described take a road ma
chluo nnd crowd enough earth to each
side of a central strip of such wlittb as
it may bo dcslrablo to cover with clay
or gravel. This being done, clay should
bo applbnl on sand to tho depth of 11 vo
or six Inches, whero no gravel Is used
and to tho depth of threo or four Inches
whero n dressing of as riiuch gravel
can bo placed upon the clay. Altqr the
clay Is applied, it may be leveled with
n road machine If well pulverized, or,
If lumpy, it may bo leveled by 'first
rolling to crush tho lumps, then bor
rowing till smooth, but in each caso It
must bo rolled till hard after a smooth
surface has beeiWcurcil. '
Whero no gravel is mscd tho clay
must bo covered with from ouo to two
Inches of sand by Tover&lngitho road
tnachlue uud crowding a llttld of the'
surplus saud -frd'm tho sides to the
centers This will nroYii 1V -

spell. If n ton dressing of gravel "if ,
used, It filioulil bo applied to thu thilio
coat of clay Immediately after rolllifjA
then bo brought to a truo surfaca bf ,
tho uso of a 'road machine and I.Vi
till It f thoroughly compacted. If tlip
weather Is dry, tho gravel should bo
kept sprinkled during tbo llunl rolling.
When eand is uacd on clny, wer
usually secure as good rcsulth r.n by
putting clny In sand, for It looa iiut
always prevent mud when the ground ,
Is extremely soft. A clny road should
alwnys bo well piked with good tldo
ditches, which must quickly take tho
water to Its nearest natural ontlct.
wntcli in tnrn must always ho trV
well kept mi to take the water at onco
Away froni the road allowance. Band
should be applied to clay after tho
picking Is done, wltfi'qut forming any'
depression for Its reception, fla has '
been recommended for gravel. 15nml
should never ho applied at a season of ,
tho year when a long dry spell lu cs
pected, but rather Immcdlntqiy boforo
wet fall weather and winter sets In,
so thnt by the next season It may be
come suQlcIently mixed with clnyt to ..
produce the condition already referral
to. Tho same practice should bu'em-
ployed when any considerable depth
of loose gravel Is applied to a clay sol;
with tbo expectation that travel will
mnko it hard.
Tho application of sand and gravel
to clay, as abovo described, can be done
In lnyers, giving time for tho llrst layer .
to pack before the second Is applied.
It is often advisable to wait till tha'
next fall before the second layer la
applied, thus giving timo to watch re
sults nnd uso Just the depth required .
to sccuro tho best effect, as well as to
economize material. After all tlds la ,
done, we have not secured n permanent V
road suited to heavy trnfile, and wo
slmll bo obliged to look to tho better
gradca of gravel nnd broken Btouo to
produce any roads that may really hojT

"Wo used to think that wo could raltd
young tnrkeys better when wc batched
them under good old motherly beco
than when wc put them under the hen
turkey. Now the Maine Farmer comeH
out with tho opinion of a poultry ex
pert who says better nnd larger chick
ens can bo raized by letting the turkey
ben batch them out and care for them.
Perhaps both wcro right, for wc think
tho old turkey often gives the young
ones too much travel, and perhaps tbo
ben does not give tho chickens enough
when tbey are forced to get their living
on an open range. Domestication and
breeding have reduced tbo propensity,
if not tbo ability ot the beu for travel
-Hnd.catchlRsJnwctpocijilly,
ana uer prcuts were reareu i
yards, while the turkey is many gen
erations nearer the wild conditions and
likes to roam over many acres or, lir
fact, will not endure confinement at all
only for a short timo while-fattening,
and then not In close qunrters. It thus
may bo that chickens with tho turkey
would range farther and forage moro
than with tho ben, thus growing moro
rapklly. But wo still adhere to our old
position, thnt wo can grow chickens
better and faster In yards that nro kept
finder proper sanitary conditions than
hey will grow If allowed to run at
large with cither their mother or tbo

The government reclpo for white

aud other government buildings whero
whitewash Is required, Is said to bo
the best for.uula there is. It Is as fol
lows: Tut two pailfuls of boiling water
lu a barrel and add one-half bushel of
well burned fresh quicklime. Tut iu
quickly ono peck of common salt dis
solved In hot water apd cover tho
barrel tightly to keep In tho steam
whllo tho lino la slacklug. When th6
violent bubbling Is oyer, stir until well '
mixed together, nnd If necessary add
moro boiling water, so ns to bavo the
mass Ilko thick cream. Strain through
a slevo or coarso cloth. Mako n thin
starch of threo pounds of rlco Hour
and oue pound of strong glue, bnvbsg
Urst 6oaked tbo gluo In cold water, anil
to the latter mixture add twoouudu
of whiting. Add this to fhe lime wash
nnd also sufficient hot water to dilute

while applying. It will rcqulro about
six quarts of the mixture to 100 square
