Grade on Applied to Roads.

Some M has said that the discovery
OF oil In California was of more value
to the state than the discovery OF gold.
1t certainly added much to the wealth
OF the state furnishing Is II does a
cheap fuel az available for the small
engine OF the ranchman as for the To-
comotives Of the big railway compan-
les. Wheat growers alone are threat
ened with a loss Of foreign markets
on account OF this cheap fuel, as the
vessels that formerly brought coal to
California ports and went home laden
with grain. cannot make a profit IN
less they have cargoes both ways.
One OF the most interesting uses to
which the California crude oil has been
put is Its application to roads. A Los
Angeles corporation, known as the
California Dustless Roads company,
has been doing this work. Under a
recent contract made with the super
yisors Of Kern county and with the
Kern County Land company, twenty
two miles OF county roads and ten
miles Of road belonging to the land
company are to be oiled and kept In
repair by the Los Angeles company at
a cost OF $3.50 per mile. This will
make the cost to the county for the
twenty-five miles OF road mentioned
$500. In order to make a perfectly
satisfactory hard and elastic road II
Is claimed that more than one appli-
cation OF oil Ia necessary. The 90 per
cent Oh asphaltum. which experts state
the oil contains, produces the effect OF

The application OF crude oil to roads
seems an eminently practical method OF
packing the soil into a firm moisture
resisting body, and the recent discov-
cries Of oil in many state should make
II cheap enough to be extensively
used for this purpose.

Changes In American Immlsrstiou.

According to statisticians, during
the sixty years between 1880 and 1880.
there were thirteen million immigrants
to the United States, ten million OF
whom came from Great Britain and
Germany, and about one million from
the Scandinavian peninsula. The great
majority Of these immigrants were

IN wonderful skill OF the Chinese.
On one occasion, while he was pros
ecuting attorney, says the Chicago
Record, Luther Latin Mills came upon
an indictment returned against a Chi
nese laundryman upon the charge or
having assaulted an Irish policeman
with intent TO kill. He thought this
an exceptionally curious case. and upon
examining the prosecuting witness and
others he threw out the indictment as
being wholly absurd. The compatriots
OF the Chinaman were very grateful
for this act OF Justice, and In pigeon
English assured Mr.. Mills that they
would not forget his kindness.
One Sunday, five years later, while
Mr.. Mills sat on the lawn In front OF
his home. two carriages rolled up and
out stepped a delegation OF Cinnamon
in native costumes. One, who was su-
perbly attired in silks, addressed Mr..
Mills and recalled the affair of his per-
secuted countryman: II have Just re-
turned from China" said he, and l
have brought with me certain articles
which ! crave permission to present to
your family as evidence of my appre-
citation Of your kindness to one Of my
countrymen when he was In trouble
The delegation was ushered into the
house, bearing numerous packages OF
teas, fans, silks, etc, which were dis
tributed about to several members OF
the family, Before taking his depart
ure, the spokesman Of the party asked
Mr.. Mills TO let him have a cabinet
photograph he saw on the mantel'
piece; II was a picture Of the Mile
children, very p~rettily grouped. Mr.
Mills thought the request a strange
one, but he could hardly deny 1t. "B,

A WooIly Judas.

Some time ago a sheep was killed in
the Armour stock yards in Chicago.
This Is an every day occurrence, but.
In this case. u regular Judas was
slain for finally turning saint. says
"Up-to-Date Farming"
Judas was u big wether. He came
from wyoming. At his debut In the
Armour sheep pens at the stock yards.
he attracted no attention. but when
the time came to drive n thousand
sheep to slaughter. he placed himself
In the lead. and walked bravely to the
slaughter pen. but at the door he
turned to one side, and walked back
to his old quarters. His victims kept
on. and were soon reduced to mutton.
Next day another thousand sheep were
told OFF, Judas among them. Again
he marshaled the host, and led II to
the threshold OF the shambles, and
stood to one side while the thousand
went to their death.
Judas instantly became a fayorite.
He was petted, fed on the best and
given coy quarters. He saved the men
hours OF work chasing sheep. II the
woolly victims were to be transferred
from pen to pen, Judas would be sent
among them and they followed his
lead. During eight years he led un-
counted thousands Of his kind to
slaughter. They never lost faith in
him until too late. He knew all the
intricacies OF the pens. In and out.

Earth RoAdA

Prof. Charles H. Pettee, Of the New
Hampshire Agricultural College says:
An earth road Is one surfaced with
a large per cent OF earth, which may
be sand, clay, hardpan, loan, or a
mixture Of some OF these. A very
common idea Of an earth road Ia one
surfaced with the natural material
where the road IL built. This descrip-
ton, though generally characteristic,
does not give the true distinction be-
tween these and gravel ones and may
convey ar entirely wrong impression.
The true distinction lies In the pre-
dominance OF earth over rock or the
reverse in the ~surfacing material.
Again, 1t will be seen that the gravel
road is intermediate between the earth
and the macadam and that there is nc
absolute line separating the earth
from the gravel or the gravel from
the macadam. The latter statement
will appear evident II we consider that
1t makes no difference whether the
stone for a macadam road has been
prepared by a stone crusher or broken
by the processes of nature and depos-
tied In gravel banks during the glacial
epoch.
The earth road, under favorable ION
ditions of moisture and repair. is the
smoothest, most elastic, and most
pleasant for pleasure driving Of any
In existence. II is safest for horses
feet and, where the natural soil is
favorable. IL by far the cheapest both

the other hand, II It Is IN ideal sum-
mer road, 1t Is reasonably sure to be
muddy and rough for perhaps two
months In the spring as we'll as dur
ing the following heavy rains at other

and II depends upon constant. though
inexpensive, attention to minute re-
pairs for It's favorable condition during
a limited season.
1t thus appears that, II we aim at
durability, nothing less than a body OF
rock will keep Is up out OF the mud
In the spring; that this will render
the surface too dry for comfort and
durability during the summer. and that
the more expensive and more perfect
the surface constructed upon this
foundation. the more expensive and
more difficult the matter Of repair. In
the city sprinkling has given greater
durability and comfort to the macadam
surface. and the heavy expense for
construction and maintenance can
often be easily borne. In the country
these favorable conditions are usually
absent. Some have attempted to find
In the gravel road the safe middle
course between the earth and the
macadam. They do not. however, APP
pear to have wholly succeeded
Smoothness. elasticity, freedom from
dust. low cost, and cheapness Of main
