ment. In most countries the matter
q road dust is something that excites
tne concern Of people. It is one Of
the great Inconvenience Of living In
the country In the United States the
country roads are all wide and ali
nave more soil uncovered By verdure
tnan IN perhaps any other country
Inese wide roads give large surface
lor dust production and in some local
lties the dust blows in clouds from the
roads, till the verdnre Is anything but
green. Il gets into the houses and
perneates every nook. 10 get rid of
TINS nuisance is task worthy Of our
best thought.
some road experiments have been
n progress In the neighborhood of
jackson, Tenn. Most Of the tests were
made On roads In the city. but some
also on the neighboring country
roads. The tar was applied during
not weather to the repaired. cleaned
and thoroughly dried surfaces OF roads
~ and near the city. The tar was
Kept at q temperature OF ZOO degrees
while being conveyed over the roads
N tank wagon, from which ii was
distributed over the road surface bv a |
hose with special nozzle and spread |
evenly in a thin layer BY laborers
using stin brooms. The tar was ab-
sorDed by the road IN eight Or ten
hours, after which light coat of sand
Or screenings was evenly spread over
tne surface and the road rolled by a
steam roller The average amount OF
Tar used per square yard was Is hun-
lredtns Of a gallon The labor cost
ess than one.tenth of a cent nar
square yard. These roads stood wen
or at least seven months. says Farm
'rs Review, The tar surrounded the
tones and gravel and formed 4 hard
'urface about one to two inches IN
thickness.

ave been made with oil and tar hoth

ondltions. On the dusty country
ighway, however. the oil Is TOO lleht
of permanent results, but tar proves
pc very effective wherever used. 4

vel as in the fact that It is al ex.
ceilent substitute for clover. Of iata
years. clover bas not been as sure
a crop as It was formerly. It Is a dim-
cult matter to secure a good stand
Even when a stand is secured, there
Is some sort Of blight or insect pest
that destroys the crop and this inter
feres with the farm rotation.
The increasing popularity Of the
cowpea is due to the fact that It gives
heavy yield Of the very finest hay
for stock feeding that can be produced
upon the farm and at the same time As

cneaply IN : cowpea. wheat, grass ana

the land in spring Is SUFFICIENT NOT
only lor the pea crop, but also for the
wheat that should follow It. After the
pea crop is exhausted the ground IA
loose and the only preparation neces.
sary for wheat is to disk and drag
down, this giving a perfect seedbed
ana splendid conditions to insure a

The hay Is relished BY all kinds OF
