ROAD TARRlNe.
Process Which Is Proving Highly Sue
cessful in France.

On the continent the oiling or tar
ring of roads is making considerable
progress, writes the Paris correspond
ent of the Scientific American. The
methods which seem to be most sue
cessful can be divided into two general
classes. In the first case we find prod
ucts such as Westrumite. Pulvanto,
and the like in which the liquid tar
obtained from mineral or vegetable
oils is formed into an emulsion or a
solution in water and thus %sprinkled
upon the road. The solution in water
can be obtained by adding alkali such
as ammonia, or by the use of casein
or other products. The liquid which is
thus obtained can be applied to the
read from an ordinary sprinkling cart.
Another way of applying it is to pipe
the water from the mains through a
hose and use a special form of nozzle
into which the oil or tar is fed from a
reservoir. For use in cities this is
quite practical. M. Forester has de-
signed a good form Of mixing nozzle
which consists Of two conical pieces
fitting into each other in such a way
that the water stream acts by aspira-
ton to draw in the oil and mix 1t with
the water In the nozzle. The distance

LEFT IT TO The OLD HENS.
.Smateur Fancler Thought His Re-
sponsibIlity Had Ended.

An Indiana man tells of the efforts
of an author belonging to the Hoosier
school of historical noyelists to put
in his leisure time as a hen farm
er" in that state. The literary per.
sons venture afforded his agricultural
neighbors no end of amusement.
During the first year the amateur
farmer discovered that all his little
chickens, which were confined in
coops, were languishing at the point
of death. The novelist went over his
"hen literature to locate the cause of
the trouble, but to no avail.
Finally he called upon an old chap
named Rawlins, to whom he put the
question:
What do you suppose is the mat.
.sT with those chickens?"
well, l dunno" said Rawlins.
What do you feed 'em?"
Feed them!" exclaimed the novel
ist-farmer. why, l don't feed them
anything!"
Then, how'd you suppose they
was a-goin' to live?"
Il presumed" replied the literary
person, that the old hens had milk
enough for them now."-Lippincott's
Magazine.

BABY TORTURED BY ITCHING.
Rash Covered Face and Feet-Would
Cry Until Tired out-Speedy
Cure by Cuticura.

"My baby was about nine months
old when she had rash on her face and
feet. Her feet seemed to irritate her
most, especially nights. They would
cause her to be broken in her rest, and
sometimes she would cry until she was
tired out. / had heard of so many
cures by the Cuticura Remedies that
l thought I would give them a trial.
The improvement was noticeable in a
few hours, and before l had used one
box of the Cuticura Ointment her feet
were well and have never troubled her
since. l also used 1t to remove what
is known as cradle cap from her
head, and it worked like a charm, as it
cleansed and healed the scalp at the
same time. Mrs. Hattie Currier,

A CONCRETE WALK.
Directions for Laying Which VIII Aid
Farmer in Doing Work Himself.

This is the time OF the year Eheu
many walks are being laid, and 1t is
nov well known that the cement walk
IL the best of all. If properly put
down 1t will last a lifetime; it is
smoother and looks better than any
other walk, and it requires little or no
attention to keep it clean. Consid-
ering those advantages. it is certainly
the cheapest walk as well. and this is
doubly true when it is laid by the land
owner and his ordinary hired help,
thus saving the expenses of an expert.
The following exact directions for lay
ing such a walk are given by Mr.. Fred
R. Crane, head of the farm mechanics
department of the University of ILL.,
nois:
If your subsoil is very porous, al
lowing the water to fall away rapidly,
so there is nc chance for heaving of
the soil during freezing weather, then
there is little need for excavation of
the earth if the foundation is solid,
and there is no organic matter to de-
cay and let the walk settle.
Where the subsoil is a stiff clay
the writer has followed the practice
OF ~excavating IA to 16 inches deep,
and filling with cinders to within Az
inches of the top of the completed
walk, tamping down the cinders to
make a firm foundation. Gravel will
do If cinders are not available. Two
by As are used for the sides of the
form and great care is taken to level
them.
A ROY is formed by raising the
middle of the walk one-fourth-inch
for every foot in width. The medium
mixture Zone part Portland cement,
two and one-half parts coarse sand,
five parts crushed rock) is used, mix
ing it thoroughly and wetting it so it
will pack well. 1t is then shoveled
into the forms and pounded down,
leaving the top one-half inch below
the top of the forms. The 2 by As at
the sides are now marked every four
feet, and the walk cut through the
concrete to the cinders to allow for
expansion and contraction in warm
nd cold weather.
The surface coating is composed Of
one part cement and two and one
half parts of sand, leaving out the
crushed rock. This layer is mixed to
the consistency of mortar and spread
over the concrete in the forms. The
surface is struck off by a gage which
gives the proper amount of crown.
After setting for a few minutes 1t is
rubbed smooth with a trowel. Too
much rubbing will separate the &C.
ment and sand particles and leave an
unsatisfactory appearance.
This surface layer must also be cut
at the same points as the concrete
layer below. Cover the walk to pro
tect 1t from the sun, if it is sprinkled
with water from time to time, that
will insure an even setting of the ma
terials.
In about three days it will do to
bear weight, but it will not get its I'll.
innate strength short of 80 days.

BETTER SEED, BETTER CROP.
Some of the Factors Affecting the
Wheat Yield.

The results Of IL separate tests
made at the Ontario college shows an
average increase in yield Of grain per
acre of 6.8 bushels from large as com
pared with small seed, of rs bushels
from plump as compared with shrunk-
en- seed, and Of 35.6 bushels from
sound as compared with broken seed.
Seed which was allowed to become
very ripe before it was cut produced q
greater yield Of both grain and straw
and a heavier weight Of grain per
measured bushel than that produced
from wheat which was cut at any one
of four earlier stages of maturity. In
1897 and again in 1902 a large amount
of the winter wheat In Ontario became
sprouted before it was harvested, ow-
ing to the wet weather. Carefully con-
Quoted tests showed that an average
Of only rs per cent. Of the slightly
sprouted and is per cent. OF the badly
sprouted seed would grow and produce
plants. Surely he is the wise farmer
who will SOW o n but large, plump.
sound, ripe seed Of good vitality.

WHAT'S Il usEa
To Pour in Coffee When It Acts as a
Vicious Enemy.

Fasters have gone without food for
many days at a time but no one can go
without sleep. For a long time / have
not been sleeping well, often lying
awake for two or three hours during
the night but now I sleep sound every
night and wake up refreshed and Wig
%orous," says a Calf. woman.
do you know why? It's because I
used to drink coffee but I finally cut it
out and began using Postum. Twice
since then ] have drank coffee and
both times ! passed a sleepless night,
and SO ! am doubly convinced coffee
caused the trouble and Postum re-
moved it.
MY brother was in the habit Of
drinking coffee three times a day. He
was troubled with Soul stomach and |
would often notice him getting soda
from the can to relieve the distress in
his stomach; lately hardly a day
passed without a dose Of soda for re-
lief.
Finally he tried a cup Of Postum
and liked 1t Sc well he gave up coffee
and since then has been drinking
Postum In Its place and says he has
not once been troubled with sour stom-
,ach.n
Even after this lady's experience
with, coffee her brother did not suspect
for q time that coffee was causing his
sour stomach, but easily proved 1t.
Coffee is not suspected In thousands
of cases just like this but it's easily
proved. A ten days trial works won.

between the two can be adjusted
to suit the conditions of the case.
From the side of the nozzle a rubber
hose leads to the oil tank, which can
be well carried on the back of the
man who is doing the s%prinkling. For
a larger supply the hose is placed d.
rectly into the oil barrel, and the lat
ter is run along on a cart by a sec
ond To avoid the use of a valve
in the supply pipe to regulate the flow,
the nozzle carries a small air valve
which can be permanently adjusted
for a given supply.
Much more efficient than the method
of sprinkling is the application of a
layer of hot tar compound upon the
road, which has just been thoroughly
swept so as to leave the surface quite
clean. In this way the road absorbs
the hot tar and this forms a very solid
coating, as the tar sinks for a consid-
cradle depth below the surface. Ac-
cording to the report which was made
recently by Chief Engineer Heude, the
hot tarring method is to be considered
n of the best to be used upon roads
on a large scale. In 1905 he treated
some 10000 square yards of road
way in France and finds that the re-
suits are excellent and quite justify
the expense which is oc~casioned. The
dust which usually results from the
wear of the road had disappeared, and
at the same time the annual expense
as to more than compensate for the
cost of the process. This comes from
the great reduction of expenses for
watering the road, sweeping and mud
scraping as well as from the greater
durability of the roadbed, SO that not
only does the tarring process cost
nothing, but 1t gives an annual econ
omy of 1901 per square yard yearly.
One coating of tar lasts about a year.
To carry out this method practically,
the treatment should be made during
warm and dry weather and at certain
hours Of the day. To avoid an unex-
pected rainfall it Is necessary that the
operation should be done quickly.
With the primitive apparatus which
was used at first, requiring a great
deal Of hand labor, 1t was hardly pos
sible with gangs Of a dozen men to
tar more than 1000 square yards Of
road per day, applying the tar by
lei of hand brushes. This led to
the use Of an automatic system which
could be used for applying on a large
scale and in a continuous manner, so
that it is now possible to treat more
than 1000 square yards per hour. We
also avoid heating the tar over a fire,
which is always dangerous, and the
steam heating system is employed
here. The apparatus of the Lassaily
system is illustrated here. 1t consists
of a tar-heating car and a spreading
car. The tar which is used here Is the
semi-liquid product which comes from
the gas works.
The tar-heating car is composed Of
three main parts. In front Is placed
the boiler, which furnishes the steam
for the heating.

The Manchester canal was built at

The Manchester canal was built at
a cost of $751; 900, 900 to reduce freight
rates for a distance of IS miles, and,
while it did not prove a good inter
est bearing investment on such a
large expenditure, its indirect and
more permanent benefits are said to
have warranted it.
Germany has 5000 miles of canal,
carefully maintained, besides 1000
miles of other waterway. France,
with an area less than we would con
slider a large state, has 5000 miles of
canal; and in the northern part,
where the canals are most numerous,
the railways are more prosperous.
England, Germany, France, Holland
and Belgium are all contemplating
further extension and improvement of
their canal systems.-Century Maya

Walnut Forests Not common.

The walnut is nowhere a gregari-
GUS tree, but usually occurs in scat
tered groups or as isolated individuals
among the associated species. Within
the limits Of its range there are re
gions where 1t is almost unknown,
while within a few miles 1t may be
common, although conditions In both
regions seem identical. In the river
valleys of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and
Kentucky it is found associated with
the naples, hickories, oaks, Eastwood,
cherry and other hardwoods Of the
region, although not always inter.
mingling closely with them. West OF
the Mississippi the walnut is confined
to river valleys and moist situations.
In this western region 1t is found as.
ISOLATED with the coffee tree, green
ash, blackberry, Eastwood and white
elm.
