PRESIDENT PURSE, or INTER

One of the interesting features of
the convention of the Southern States

president of the Interstate Sugar Cane
Growers Association, on Sugar Pro-

The asphaltum oil should then be APP
piled with an oiler which is so under
control of the operator that he can
distribute the oil evenly over the en-

cording to the condition of the road,
from one-half gallon to a square yard,
upward to as much as a gallon or
even a gallon and half. The road
should be given all it will readily alb
sorb without flooding it. Otherwise
| it will run off and be wasted. 1t is
found by experience that it is bet
ter to put it On light and follow with
a second oiling rather than to food
it. If the oil is put on only in such
measure as to be quickly absorbed
the road can be used Immediately
Oil is not beneficial to the paint or
rubber tires of a wagon. hence the
necessity for allowing proper time be-
fore using the road.
The machine used for Oiling the
roads referred to in this article is
known as the White Oiler, the inven-
ton of Mr.. Theo. F. White, of Cali
fornia
Authorities are all agreed upon the
sanitary advantages resulting from
dustless roadways. According to Dr.
Samuel Allen, the health officer of
Cincinnati, wetting down the dust
with water is inadequate, but he be-
lieves that the proper method of lay
ing dust has been answered by the
advocates of oil sprinkling.
The Madison Road Committee a
year ago last spring took up the eX-
pertinent of treating with oil ma
cadam roadway sixty feet wide be-
tween the curbs and probably CARRYING
more traffic than any similar road in
the state of Ohio. For a few days
the committee heard nothing but
curses and denunciatlon from all who
lived upon or travelled over the road.
A prominent citizen living more than
a mile from the road, but driving over
1T daily, wrote an abusive letter to the
board of public service and threat
ened to apply for an injunction. Two
weeks afterwards he sent a letter of
congratulation to the committe and
enclosed his check for 500 as vol
untary contribution for the work. This
season those using the road waited
lmpauently until the weather was
warm and dry enough to have it oiled.
Housekeepers who have had the ex-
perlence do not do their house-clean-
ing or painting in the spring until
the street has been oiled. The Good

grew out OF experiments of the Madi.
