1t is an excellent plan to test the
family drinking at least once during
the season. Water that was at one
time pure and wholesome may finally,
or some season, become imprue for
use. A simple test for drinking wat
er is to fill, pint bottle three
quarters dissolve half teaspoonful OF
pure granulated sugar in the water,
cork the bottle and set in a<warm place
for two days. If in this time it be-
comes cloudy it is unfit for domestic
use. Be careful that the bottle is as
clean as you can make it and that the
sugar is pure.

ROADS OF THE SOUTH
HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENT IN THE
SOUTHERN STATES.

Can Boast of Some Of the Best Roads
In the Wor1d-The Employment OF
Convicts on the Highways of North
Carolina.
Among the many interesting and val
liable articles published in a recent
number Of Harper's Weekly was the
following on highway improvement in
the south: .....
One of the most important, but
least conspicuous, movements in the
new south is that being made In be-
half Of good country roads. About
fifteen years ago there was a general
revival Of interest in the building OF
country roads, and now many COM
munities in the south have systems Of
roads of which they justly feel proud
Even North Carolina, long known as
the Rip Van Winkle Of the southern
states, has at last awakened and is
giving lessons to the outside world IN
the construction Of good roads. 1t Is

VALUE OF GOOD ROADS.
Effect of Highway Improvement In
New Jersey.

Effect of Highway Improvement In
New Jersey.
The Importance Of good roads and
their value to each district having
them have long been advocated, but
not until recent years has the public
been awakened to their full signif-
canoe. After all, it was not by argu-
ment that the public was convinced,
but from necessity in the beginning
and then by example. The state OF
New Jersey is wedged in between New
York and Pennsylvania, with one of
the great cities Of the country on its
eastern borders and the second largest
city on its western borders. Its farm
ers are mainly engaged in raising truck
for the millions Of people living in
those two cities. To do this thousands
of them drive to each city daily with a
load Of truck, starting in the morning
anywhere from II to o'clock to get to
the markets early enough for the buck
sters.
Jersey mud" a clay loan, is pro-
verbal for it's sickness and disagree
able nature to travel through when
wet, says the Putnam Conn Patriot.
The Jersey farmer knows the value of
q dollar and is opposed to taxes, but he
could reckon the difference between
what he lost daily by reason Of bad
roads and the tax he would have to
pay for. building q smooth rock road.
That having been worked out, one good
road was built, and those near it got to
market regularly and easily, rain or
shine, saving enough each trip to pay
the road tax. "Secing is believing
and farmers in other parts became con-
vinccd of their economy, and the exam
pie was followed, slowly at first, but
gradually going on more rapidly.
Last year 100 miles Of new roads
were built in that state at a cost of
about $500,000. This year the demand
for them is so great that the state will,
the coming year, venture to put 81 ,OOO,-
900 into 200 miles Of macadam. The
state commissioner Of public roads de-
clares that this movement has in
creased the taxable property Of the
state by $27,O0O,O00. Just think of

FOR BETTER ROADS.
Men of Wealth Interested In High.
way Improvement.

Men Of wealth are evincing prac-
tical interest in road improvement for
the benefit Of their fellow men. George
Gould has offered to bear one-third OF
the entire cost Of the improvement OF
the public highways in the vicinity or
Lakewood, N. j., and Colonel j. j. AS
tor has spent large sums on the roads
near Poughkeepsie, N. Y.
Recently Harley 7. Proctor, a sum-
mer resident of Williamstown, Mass,
offered to give the town $4,000 FOR
the improvement Of the roads, proV1d-
ing the latter raises $4,000 for the
same purpose. Mr.. Proctor makes the
gift because he believes that better
roads would Increase the popularity OF
Williamstown as a summer resort He
recently had the stone hill road put
in excellent condition at a cost OF $5Oo.
The town furnished the drainage pipes
and permitted Mr.. Proctor to use the
road scraper.

BAY STATE ROADS.
Some Facts About the Highways of
Massachusetts.

Some Facts About the Highways of
Massachusetts.
y It costs on an average $4,000 per
mile to build a state road in Massa-
chusetts, says the Boston Globe, but
the actual cost depends on locality and
conditions, hardly two cases being
alike. One-fourth Of the cost Of a
state road is borne by the county In
which it is situated, the balance being
contributed by the state.
The work Of the highway commission
has developed a number Of high class
professional roadbuilders. Many Of
the younger and more ambitious have
entered the employ Of the national gov
ernment in Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines in the same line of work.
Most of the state roads are Of broken
stone, but a few are Of gravel. The
type Of road built IS determined by the
engineer, who makes careful examina-
ton of soils, drainage, gravel, stone,
grades and traffic.
The thickness Of stone on state roads
varies from four to sixteen inches, the
lesser being placed over good gravel or
sand, the greater over heavy clay. The
broken stone used on state roads passes
through half inch, inch and a half and
two and half inch screens. The lar
gest size is placed on the bottom, the
second size on top Of this and the
crown is made with half inch material
All are rolled separately and thor
oughly.
The cost of trap rock for roadbuild-
ing varies from $1.10 per ton to $1.6O
per ton. The state owns seventeen
steam rollers, which are employed In
state roadbuilding. The standard
width of stone roadways in Massachu-
setts built by the commission is fifteen
feet. There are some only ten and
twelve feet wide, but they are not
deemed economical to maintain.
When a state road is constructed, 1t
remains under the control Of the state
highway commission. The local au-
thorities are taxed an amount not to
exceed $50 per mile for maintenance.

Necessity For Drainage.

In the improvement Of earth roads
one very important essential often
overlooked is the necessity for drain
age to carry off the surplus water be-
fore it can soak into the surface, says
Good Roads Magazine. Good roads
can be constructed even in a prairie
country, and by the adoption Of i'm
proved methods immediate recovery
from the effects of heavy rains may be
insured. Tile draining is very effec-
tive, and with even a shallow dressing
Of crushed stone or gravel on the sur
face of an earth road wonderful I'm
provement can be secured.
