Building Macadam Roads.

Road makers do not quite agree as to
the method of applying binding ma
terial to the road metal in the construc-
ton of macadam roads, nor do they
agree in their opinions regarding the
use of rollers 1t is doubtless best in
most cases to roll the macadam layers
so that all the pieces Of. meLai will be
forced into as close contact as possible
before applying any binding material,
for if the binding material Se applied
before rolling, it will find its way be-
tween the surfaces of the broken stones
and prevent their being brought into
close contact with each other. 1t is
generally conceded That sand is an ex-
cellent binding material but all bind
ers of hard, gritty nature Must be
rolled more thoroughly aud with n
heavier roller than if soft loan is ussd.

WORKING THE ROADS.
Present System of Repairing Is C Case oi
Labor Lost.

LABOR LOST.
AS d general thing the country roads
on this continent have been so badly
located that to build costly pavements
upon the present lines and previously
provide elaborate systems of drainage
would bea dreadful waste of money.
AS it is ordinarily beyond the means Of
country people to do more than improve
the present condition of their roads
this is the task that they should under
take as soon as possible
In beginning such task the first
step to be taken, in my opinion, is to
stop that which has generally been the
custom of this country-that is, work
ing the roads. Working the roads, as
it is usually practiced In this country,
consists In calling out in each road dis
trict gang of men who 'work out
their road tax under an overseer elected
by the people. The labor is worse than
thrown away, for it is rare indeed iol
either the overseer or the men under
him to have any clear comprehension
of what is needed
Fortunately for the well-b6ing O. oul
roads these men do not work very hard
but rather choose to regard the few
days on the road as kind of holiday
outing, a picnic ffolic and means o.
getting rid Of certain amount Of tax
If they really worked with all thei
might they would make the roads al
most as impossible in the summer az
they now are in the winter and early
spring. With some kind of glimmer
ing idea that bitches on each side of ;

.pEApt. 4.,.AMANl1A roApsIooL.


II Is tho Most Beautiful and Also the
Most Insidious of Its Family.
OF the Agaricini family there is one
subdivision that contains many toad
stools that are deadly poisonous, and it
Is well to be made acquainted with
these in the very beginning. This sub
division is known as the Amanita. 1t
| is the most beautiful, the most insid-
ious, and tie most deadly of all toad
stools, and should be summed with
horror. The ap,anit@ always have a
volva or sheath around the stem at or
in the surface Of the ground; when this
or remnants Of 1t are found upon any
toadstool it should be discarded, unless
the finder is sure of the ability to dis
BILE amanite, 1t is well to say just here
that there are not great many men'in
the United States with this ability, as
the science OF micology is not as gener
ally pursued with us as with some of
the older peoples of Europe.
In my excursion with Capt Nell
vaine we came upon several beautiful
specimens of the deadly amanita.
These are the Amdnite bulG0SG The
large one is full grown fungus, show
ing part of the yell or. ring and part of
the volva. The smaller is only partly
grown and shows the volva ruptured,
| from which the toadstool has sprung,
with the veil or ring unbrokcn and un-
der the head of the cap These were
found on the edge Of road through
the woods They were pearly white
ON top, the top looking as If it had been
powdered. The gils also were white,
and the whitcncss of the stems slightly
discolored with yellow,
The great danger from amanita is
due to the fact that TO an uniformed
or unobsGrvant person they resemble
the common mushroom. A very little
knowledge would enable any intelli-
gent person not handicapped with an
undue amount Of cocksure conceit to
discriminate between the amanita and
the common mushroom. The common
mushroom Is purple-spored with pink
sh gills in early youth, which increases
In depth Of color as the spores ripen to
a heavy purplish-black. All Of the
amanitD are white-spored and have
white gills. And, furthermore, the
/, habitats Of these two agarics are quite
different. The common mushroom al
ways grows in the open; on the other
, hand, the amanita always grows in the
!, depth or on the edge of Understands
Capt McIlvaine tells me that he ha:
never found the amanita in open fields
i or meadows Any one ambitious to
, test the merits OF toadstools would dc
we'll to take note of the characteristics
, OF the amanita at once. Other toad
stools sometines contain minor poi
, sons; the amanita contains danger
, GUS poison; it belong to a family tina

the value to health of the pure liquid
