"Fifth--It is extremely durable and the
repairs will be nominal.
''Sixth--The dust which is so annoying
on a gravel or dirt road is caused largely
by the grinding of the wheels. On this
road there could be no such grinding.
''Seventh-It is motorcycle road and a
speed of twenty miles per hour can be
obtained with safety.
I'm conclusion, the universal use Of this
road will increase the value Of the farm;
1t VIII beautify the street. because when
we cease to rut the road grass Will take

For the FIRST time there has been carried
into practical operation plan for the In
rsroyernent OF public roads tina. has nere-
fo.ore teen regarded merely as an inter-
eStIng theory that would never rise 10 the
region af fact The plan Is 30 lay steel
tracks along our roads SO that the wheels
Of wagons may run on a smooth surface
instead Of on the rough and soggy path
over which for great part Of the year
horses are compelled to founder, drag
gtng heavy loads. The results of expert
r1ents by two prominent engineers are
here given. One series OF experiments,
made by Mr.. Abel Bliss. OF New Lenox.
Ill. a-ie particularly interesting. as will
be seen from the following signed state
raent Of Mr. Bliss. written for this news
paper and illustrated by himself:
II have laid about one hundred feet OF
steel road in the public highway near nay
b9ne at New Lenox. III. The road was
nrst graded In proper shape. The rails
are Of steel. II OF an inch thick, inches
wide. with q downward hange OF inches
on either side. and an upward fiange OF !
inch Oh the outer edge 70 keep the wheels
on. These rails were laid on the crown
OF the grade and pressed into the soil 10
the depth OF the fange or until the soil
fanges prevented the soil from being
pressed away from the rail and hold Ii
there making a firm foundation, so That
no ties are necessary on which to rest the
rails. These rails ire made continuous by
the fastening OF the ends together with
fishplates.
when I mentioned my idea Of this
roadway IL was suggested that the rails
would sink under heavy loads in wet
weather and soon become covered with
mud. Others suggested that they would
tip to oge side. becoming useless, and also
that unless they were laid on ties they
would spread and get out OF line. This
track was laid to satisfy myself on these
and other points. During the recent wet
period mudholes were made at the ends
OF the track by the wheels dropping al
ways In the same place. This very severe
test. however, did no, affect the rails ex-
cent at the end. On continuous line of
track severe and uncommon usage would
the rails. hence ] should not expect this
roadway would need any repairs at
ter wet period The earth between the
rails is removed 10 depth of ) inches
the horses tread. This road has now
been In use for eighteen months. and has
been tested with all kinds of traffic, in
Guiding traction engines. ] have never
seen horse slip on the rails, but they
might occasionally do so. A horse is most
likely TO slip when pulling hard, which
they viii not be obliged TO do on this
roadway. and there is little occasion for
q horse TO tread on the rails, as there Is
room enough between them.
"a mile OF road requires about sixty
tons OF steel which can be produced in
quantities for 81. NO or less. One cubic
yerd of gravel Is required TO the rod
''For this roadway make the following
claims:
"Firsi-It saves power. A vehicle may
ran on II with. the least possible draft.
1t is estimated by engineers that the re-
aaired draft Is one-fifth Of that on gravel
and one-twentieth Of that on the average
dirt road.

Storage of Eggs.

Eggs should not be stored near any odor-
Gus commodity, as they have almost the
prociivity of butter for absorbing odors.
Especial care should be taken In shipping.
In one instance a shipment Of eggs was
placed near large shipment Of apples and
they became almost unstable because they
had the odor of apples. Picked eggs are
not so apt to be affected by odors as other
eggs: there seems to be a deposit in the
shell which tends to fill the pores.
