DIRT ROAD BUILDING.
How to Make the Readbsd Solid and
Do Away With Ruts.

0O away WIN N0tUs
In the construction Of a new road
through an open country the usual
custom has been to excavate bitches
with the road grader and throw all
the material into the center of the
roadway, thus making what is often
called 4 turnpike. The objection to
this method is that the most important
part Of the roadbed, the foundation,
II composed largely Of soft material,
which does not easily become consoli-
dated. A better way would be to re-
move entirely all sod from the por-
tons excavated and use 1t for filing
In the low places, where 1t can be COW
cred with at least three feet Of earth.
says Samuel H. Lea, state engineer Of
South Dakota. After the sod Is re-
moved the road grader can be prop
erly used for carrying up the earth
into the roadway, and the entire road
bed is formed Of solid material. which
In its future settlement Is compacted
uniformly and will be less likely to
develop soft spots, as would be the
case II sod Is thrown into 1t indiscrim-
inately. On level or nearly level
prairie the roadbed should be built up
a foot or two above the original sur
face to provide suitable drainage from
the center Of the roadway to the
bitches, and the crown of the road
should be sufficient to allow the water
from rainfalls to be quickly carried of.
A good road in order to stay good
must be properly maintained and kept
In good condition. A very important
feature of proper maintenance is that
Of keeping the ruts out by continual
raking or dragging. Whenever ruts
are allowed to remain they will hold
water from every rain, which. unless
removed, will soften the roadbed and
result in chuck holes, injurious alike
to the team, the wagon and the driver.
The process Of dragging, smoothing
and planning the road with one Of the
numerous styles Of road drags now
happily coming into use in many To-
calities Is SO simple and inexpensive
that there is no excuse for allowing
any road to become rough and rutty
through neglect.

CLEANING GRAY HAIR.
Much Care Necessary to Keep II In
Good Condition.


Good Condition.
The woman who has gray hair may
be very proud Of it because of its arts
tic beauty and the fact that 1t is the
height Of fashion.
tier problem in these days is how to
keep 1t clean. For the first time she
envies the woman who has the kind Of
hair that can be washed in anything
and remain clear and keep its color.
Every speck of dust and soil streaks
white hair with gray and yellow. The
latter is sign that the hair needs
cleansing. 1t is not always easy to do
this away from home, and it is not al
ways successful when done by any one
else. 1t is said by an expert that one
Of the best ways to clean it during the
summer months, when perspiration
takes away all the polish from it. Is to
wash 1t once every three or four weeks
with the raw white of an egg mixed
with CASTLE soap.
The use Of bicarbonate Of soda is not
good for any one with gray hair. Borax
and ammonia should also be avoided.
One woman whose hair is inclined to
be harsh under frequent washings al
ways keeps it clean and sweet smelling
by busting it two or three times a week
with finely powdered orris root and
good talcum.
She rubs this in the hair, let's 1t re-
main for day, then shakes 1t out and
brushes it in small divisions SO the
bristles can draw out every particle of
powder.
This takes the dust with 1t, whitens
the hair and removes every trace Of
Precipitation and oiliness.

front of his own farm. There Is no
surer method than to take pride in the
road that goes past your door. d.
Ward King began his successful road
drag campaign in this way. 1t has
spread from little Missouri town to
all parts Of the world.
There is one line Of road improve
ment that is more easily carried on
than any other and consequently Is
more frequently overlooked. Every
roadway can be kept free from nox-
ious weeds with comparatively little
labor If the matter Is taken up prompt
ly. Each weed that natures bares q
more prolific crop Of seed than its
predecessor. If the fence corners and
the roadside are kept free 1t will be
an easy matter to exterminate the
undesirable weed pests which are CON-
ing to be a decided problem. If you
cannot drag your road you can at
least have regard for your adjacent
field to keep the weeds from growing
along the roadside.
When time. labor and money have
been expended upon the beds Of coun-
try roads and highways there is the
improvement
II the farmer west Of the MISSISSIPPI
pl Is blessed with a good road leading
to and from his farm, why shouldn't
he pay some attention to the roadside?
There are instances where he has
an excuse. A rank growth of weeds
and briers may be more pleasing to
look at than the fence they hide, but
where land Is worth $50 or more per
acre he forfeits that excuse. A good,
well constructed fence along the high
way will arouse a certain amount Of
pride, which acts as an incentive to
get busy with the scythe and AZ and
clean up.
Many county supervisors and men,

ton are advocating the building of
