bURNT-CLAY ROADS.
Experiment Being Tried by Agricui-
tural Department.

The public roads Office of the United
States department Of agriculture is ex-
perimenting with novel method of
making roads. The experiments have
so far been confined to the clay or
''gumbo" roads in Mississippi, and the
experiments are altogether new. The
roadway selected for treatment is
graded to an even width between
bitches and then plowed as deeply as
possible. Burrows are then dug across
the road from ditch to ditch, four feet
apart. Cordwood is then placed in
the ridges thus formed, the plowed
clay is laid thereon in layers, care be-
Ing taken to provide flues in order that
the wood will readily burn and bake
the clay. When the firing is completed
the treated clay is rolled and CON-
pacted to eight inches in thickness.
The clay has been changed by the
burning into clinkers, which compact
into solid roadbed, which will not
form mud. The cost of such road in
a country where wood sells at $1.3O a
cord was STATS per mile, and while the
wearing qualities of the road have not
been ascertained, it is believed that it
will wear as well as other made roads.
In many sections, says Farm. Journal,
the drawback would doubtless be in
the difficulty in obtaining wood. Per
>haps petroleum might be introduced
as a. substitute:

FARM IMPLEMENTS.
A Large Investment That Should Be
Well Looked After.

If you have not gathered up, clean

ing implements, and protected them
from rust and weather, do so at once,
before the SHOWS and rains come on.
The total amount of the farmers in
vestment In machinery is necessarily
large, and it is the part of prudence
for: him to take good care of it. In
a machine shop or factory, every piece
Of machinery is in use day after day.
The farmer is obliged ! to buy and
keep in repair a dozen machines
which he has use for only a few days
out of the year He runs his moving
machine perhaps two weeks altogeth-
er; his binder half that time, and
his hay tedder perhaps not three days
all told. The wheat and corn drills
come in for only few days use, and
the potato planter and digger for no
longer period. During the remainder
of the year it is necessary to care for
and properly house these machines in
order to keep them in good condition.
A few years ago an ingenious Yam
kee invented what is called uni
versal Tool" consisting Of a hollow
handle with screw top and holding
chisel, screw-driver, gimlet, tack
puller and many other small handy
tools which may be clamped in the
small end of the handle as needed
Perhaps, says the Farm Journal, ar
equally ingenious person will some
day invent a universal machine,
which, by an exchange of parts and
attachments, may serve the combined
purposes which now make necessary
many implements. Such an inven
ton would prove a great benefactior
to agriculture.

SAM AND c LAY ROADS.
I a. Mixture Of Sand Clay, Sand and
e Gravel Makes Compact Surface. : :.

e cSr.f -
!: In the state of. Minnesota road OF
deep sand with the road bed channeled
out about six inches deep was treated
with load of clay spread out the
width Of the wheel track, and about 16
feet in length. The same day an equal
amount OF fine gravel was spread over
the clay. OF course this was very
thin covering, but after the first heavy
rains the heavy loads passing over
churned the gravel, clay and the un-
DERIVING loose sand into soft mush,
which, when 1t dried out and became
packed, made a hard composite OF
these three materials. This road has
stood the test of nine years of travel.
There were three reasons why this
road was made so cheaply and easily.
First, the grade was level. Second,
the sides OF the road bed retained the
materials. Third, the sticky nature Of
the clay bound together both the
gravel and the fine sand already there.
This road proved to be as good as the
average country dirt road and cost less
than 81 per rod.
Last year another road was repaired
by using double the amount of clay,
that lis, a load for about eight feet,
with half as much gravel. This road
had fair foundation. The result was
one of the finest roads in the country.
The cost was about $3.50 per mile. It
will last seven or eight years without
much repair.
Another very sandy road was re-
paired with a load of loose gravel for
every eight feet. 1t was a partial fail.
ure as the gravel did not pack well.
Recently gravel intermixed with black
loan has been placed on this road with
good results, making a hard, durable
surface.
Of course, where the grade. was
steep more material was used and the
road was made more browning to pre-
vent the water from washing out the
track. A piece of road was tried with
clay alone. The clay was put on rather
heavily so that it could not, by heavy
loads, cut into the sand beneath. The
sequel was after heavy rains an al
most impossible road To remedy this
| the sand at the sides was scraped and
shoveled on the clay, to the depths of
several inches where it soon became
mixed with the clay, producing good
surface but not as good as gravel
would have made.
| First, from this we infer that a very
small quantity Of clay mixed with the
sand of the road will greatly i'm
prove it.
Second, that it is mistake to put a
! heavy coat OF clay over sand unless an
abundance of gravel can be procured
to mix with it.
= Third, that heavy clay roads at times
having bad mud holes can be improved
by adding two or three inches of sand,
which will soon become mixed with
the clay, making it more friable and
less liable to become muddy and full
of holes.
The gravel was hauled at about an
average distance of 11a miles aud the
clay about three-fourths of a mile.
The cost of about four miles re
paired this year and last was nearly
$500, or about 1915 per mile.
Where the clay is nearby and the
gravel at a considerable distance, most
of the material may be clay, but if the
conditions are reversed, gravel should
be the principal material, using enough
clay to bind the materials in a hare
solid mass.
