ROADS OF SAWDUST.
When Properly Constructed, and
Then Kept in Repair, They Give
Excellent Service.

Any strong, fbrous substance, and
especially one which holds moisture.
such as the refuse of sugar cane or
sorghum and even common straw,
fax or swamp grass, is useful in road
making. Spent tanbark is of some
service, and wood fiber in any form
is excellent. The best is the fbrous
sawdust made in saving shingles by
those machines which cut lengthwise
of the fiber into the side of the block.
Sawdust is first spread on the road
from eight to ten inches deep, and
this is covered with sand to protect
the road against fire lighted from
pipes or cigars carelessly thrown or
emptied on the roadbed. The sand
also keeps the sawdust damp. The
dust and sand soon become hard and
packed, and the wheels of the heav-
lest wagons make but little impress
sion upon the service. The roadbed
appears to be almost as solid as a
plank road, but it is much easier for
the teams. The road prepared in this
manner will remain good for four or
five years and will then require re-
newing in some parts. The ordinary
lumber sawdust would not be so
good, of course, but if mixed with
planer shavings might serve fairly
well.-Boston Transcript.
