Usfnr Straw to Improve Roads.

The farmers Of Walla Walla county
Wash, are trying the experiment OF
laying their roads with straw to I'M
prove them, says the New York Tr1b'
une. Every fall the highways become
deep with dust, making travelling hard
on man and beast. Heavy rains meant
mud, and the dust could not be re-
moved without destroying the road
way. It then occurred to an enterpris,
ing individual that if all of the farmers
would contribute straw and all hands
assist in laying it on the roads most
travelled there would be a great change
for the better. The experiment was a
decided success. The farmers turned
out in force, plenty Of straw was Of
fered, ready hands laid it to the depth
of a foot or more on the main thor
oughfares of the county, and travelling
became easy. Three hundred miles of
roads will be covered with straw this
fall.

FAVOR OILED ROADS.
The Use of Petroleum on Highway
to Lay the Dust.

The Use of Petroleum on Highway
to Lay the Dust.
The use Of oil on highways is stead
fly increasing in favor. In Moiine'
I'LL, oil has been tried in place of water
as a remedy for dust, and the results
have been satisfactory. Bourbon, Ind,
is considering the idea Of sprinkling
the streets with oil. The dust problem
there is a very serious one during the
summer months, for there are no grav-
ell beds from which to construct roads.
The towns of California, which have
been doing more in this line than those
OF any other state, are testfying to the
great benefits derived from oil on the
highways, by the continued use they
are making Of this means Of laying the
dust, says the New York Tribune. The
board of supervisors Of Sacramento
are greatly in favor OF oiled roads.
Three hundred or $50 barrels Of oil a
mile are at times necessary for the
permanent packing of sand road, but
in many cases only $50 barrels need be
used.
The roads of California are in most
cases of sand, and the great benefits
derived from the consolidating OF this
sand with the oil is continually testi-
fed to by those in charge Of the high
ways. Not only is the oil better dust
layer and a more permanent one, but
It Is also more economical than water,
hasmuch as the roads need to be oiled
but once or twice year, while sprin-
king with water must be done every
little while.

ROLLING A HIGHWAY.
Some Points About Road Rollers and
Their Use.


Their Use.
Every road is made smoother and
harder by rolling, and dirt roads are
no exception to this rule, says Isaac B.
Potter. We have all noticed that the
hardest and smoothest parts Of coun.
try road are the narrow strips which
mark the passage Of the wagon wheels
that have gone over it, and these parts
have become hard and smooth because
the wheels have acted as rollers. But q
wagon wheel is not always very sat.
isfactory roller, for the reason that the
wheel tires are too narrow, and when
the road is wet and soft the narrow
wheels sink into the surface and form
ruts and cut and mix and mangle the
dirt out of all reason and destroy the
good qualities Of the roadway. If all
the wagons used on country roads
could be provided with tires four inches
wide, they would roll the surface more
smoothly and more quickly. and II
would be in fairly good condition for
nearly the whole year round.
A good horse roller will serve much
to cure this difficulty, and such roller
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1904-01-13

can be bought for from $50 to 500 pei
ton. A roller weighing about five tons
is about the proper thing. Steam roll
ers are becoming more generally used
from year to year in our cities and
towns, and there are many places
where they can be used to advantage
in consolidating the earth roads OF the
suburbs. They are generally more ef'
fective in their work and if kept busy
are vastly cheaper to operate. They
weigh from seven or eight tons up
ward, the ten and twelve ton sizes be-
ing perhaps the most popular.
Rolling should follow closely upon
the work of the road grader or scraper
SO as to consolidate all the loose earth
which the action of the scraper has
laid in the line Of the roadway. The
roller should pass many times over the
softer portions of the road, and where
the road is very dry and not inclined
to pack it may be slightly moisteneo
to hasten the action of the roller. The
rolling should begin at the sides OF the
road and work gradually toward the
center-that is, the. roller should DC
passed from end to end along the side
of the road, and then the second pas
sage of the roller should slightly LAP
the first until the center Of the road IL
reached.
