THE SCIENCE OF ROADS.
SEVENTEEN RULES BY AN AssoCIA-
TION OF LONDON.
Advice as to Materials and
Methods.

The Road Improvement Associa-
ton of London, England, recently
issued circular containing seven
teen rules for the guidance of road
masters in keeping macadam and
telford roads in proper repair, as fol,
lows:
I. Never allow hollow, a rut
or a puddle to remain on road, but
fill it up at once with chips from
the stone heap.
2. Always use chips for patching
and for all repairs during the sum-
mer season.
3. Never put fresh stones on the
road if, by cross-picking and a thor
ough use of the rake, the surface
can be made smooth and kept at the
proper strength and section.
d. Remember that the rake is the
most useful tool in your collection,
and it should be kept at hand the
whole year around.
s. Do not spread large patches Of
stone over the whole width of the
road, but coat the middle or horse
track first, and when this has worn
in coat each of the sides in turn.
s. In moderately dry weather
and on hard roads always pick up
the old surface into ridges six
inches apart, aud remove all large
and projecting stones before apply
ing new coating.
7. Never spread stones more
than one stone deep, but add o
second layer when the first has
worn in, if one coat be not enough.
s. Never shoot stones on the
road and crack them where they
lie, or a smooth surface will be out
of the question.
Q. Never put stone upon the
road for repairing purposes that
will not freely pass in every direc-
ton through two-inch ring, and
remember that smaller stones
should be used for patching and for
all slight repairs.
10. Recollect that hard stones
should be broken to finer gauge
than soft, but that that the two
inch gauge is the largest that should
be used under any circumstances
where no steam roller is employed.
II. Never be without your ring
guage remember Macadam's advice,
that any stone you could not put in
your mouth should be broken
smaller.
IL. Use chips, if possible, for
binding newly-laid stones together,
and remember that road sweepings,
horse droppings, sods, or grass and

son county, Florida. came south from Iowa
fifteen years ago and seven years ago
founded the Porter colony, now numbers
over 300 persons. The colony is a mutual
association.
For the past five years Judge Porter
has been experimenting with sugar cane
trying different grades of land and now
he Is confident that he has found the best
land obtainable for that purpose. II is at
Grand Ridge, where $4,000 acres can be
secured for the industry 1900 of which
are now owned by the colony. Judge
Porter sent out two samples OF cane to
the Louisiana experiment station and one
to the Florida station. Each analysis
was highly satisfactory. Chemist A. A.
Persons of the Florida station wrote
thus to Judge Porter: Il have completed
the analysis of tlW cane and have found
IL TO be very excellent sample. In fact,
II was found to average considerably
above the best Louisiana cane reported
in a recent bulletin. | presume that a
fair average for sugar contained in cane
juice would be about 13 or IL per cent. BY
referring TO the enclosed analysis you
will see that yours gave considerably
above that amount" etc.
Director w. G. Stubs OF the Louisiana
station, in transmitting HIS analysis, ac-
companied each with letter fully as sat

As result of Judge Porter's efforts
along this line, II is said that Louisiana
sugar refiners have united with him for
the purpose of erecting at Grand Ridge
a 100000 centrifugal refining sugar plant.
The signed contract st,pulates that the
plant shall be ready for manufacturing
the crops Of 1897 into sugar Besides grant
ing concessions to the company, valued
at over $4,000, Judge Porter agrees Ia
supply the cane necessary to keep the re-
hnery IN operation, which means that
