GLOVER IN HIGHWAYS
Federal Authorities to Cooperate
With Minnesota In Using 1t.
PLAN TRIED IN AUSTRALIA.

Engineer Cooley Will Experiment on
Road Building In Sandy Soil-Ciover
Will Be Planted, Cut and Mixed
With Sand.
George w. Cooley, engineer and sec
rotary Of the state highway commits
sion Of Minnesota, has secured the CO.
operation of the public road Office at
Washington and the bureau of plant
industry in his plans for experiment
Ing in the construction Of roads in
sandy districts, says the st. Paul
Pioneer Press. Experiments along this
line were authorized at the last meet
ing of the highway commission and
will be commenced next spring.
Mr.. Cooley plans to make two or
three experiments along this line. One
road probably will be constructed near
Breckenridge and the others In places
| where similar conditions exist. Local
authorities have found it practically
impossible to build roads in sandy soil
where no clay, gravel or broken stone
can be obtained except at an expense
so great as to make it out of the ques-
ton, and it IS for the purpose of find
ing some means of building good roads
under such conditions that the expert
ments will be made.
The federal public roads authorities
have become interested in the plan and
will assist to the extent Of paying q
part of the expense. The local author
tiles of the districts in which the roads
are to be built will be asked to pro-
vide a superintendent for the work
who will carry out the plans of the en-
gineer.
MI. Cooley's plan is to plant clover
in the road and along the sides for
some distance, and when the clover
attains a good growth and before it
begins to dry to cut it and mix it
with the sand in the roadway. In this
way it is expected that the nature of
the soil will be SO changed in a year
or two as to make it excellent mate
rial for road building.
In q communication from the bu-
reau of plant industries this question
is discussed, and the opinion is given
that it is entirely feasible. Yellow
sweet clover is suggested as the kind
best adapted for this work. On this
subject the communication states:
'The last named plant has been cred
tied with SO completely changing the
character Of the sandy soil on Kings
island, near Australia, as to make it
exceedingly productive, and they are
especially adapted to growing in sandy
land"
The experiments will be started next
spring where the proper conditions are
found and the assistance of the local
authorities can be secured and will be
continued for n o. two years as the
progress of the experiment shows is
necessary. If the first years work
does not bring the soil to a condition
which is satisfactory for roadmaking
purposes, the same treatment will be
given the next year and ven the third
year if it proves necessary.

AN ANCIENT BANQUET.
Menu of a Christmas Dinner Served
In Feudal Times.


In FeudaI Times.
"a Christmas dinner in feudal times
said an antiquary. twas served at II
o'clock in the morning. 1t began with
plum pudding, or plum p%orridge, as
they called 1t In their old fashioned
way; a suet pudding stuffed with raj
sins, %currants, prunes, mace, cloves
and ginger.
Next came q boar's head on q silver
platter decorated with holly. This dish
was heralded with a flourish of trum-
Pets and the lighting of the great Yule
log. The head had a lemon in its
mouth. A hot mustard sauce went
with it.
1.-THE third course was a peacock in
full plumage. Its beak was gilded,
and it was stuffed with spices and
sweet herbs.
"Geese and capons followed drench-
ed with amber grease, and then came
frumenty. for which I'll give you the
recipe"
The old man read here from his note
book:
"'Frumenty.-Take clean wheat and
brey it in a mortar till the hUlls be
all gone off and seethe it till it burst,
and take it Up and let it cool. and
take clean fresh broth and sweet milk
Of almonds or sweet milk of kline and
temper it all. and take the yolks Of
eggs. Boil it a little and wet it down
and mess it forth with fat venison.'
'"There were other fixings," the IN
tQuary ended, "such as hacken saul
sage, Drawn pudding and souse, cheese,
apples and nuts. The drinks were
beer, malvoisie and sherris SACK

ROAD MAINTENANCE.
Value of PatroIiing Highways to Keep
Them In Good Condition.

Value of PatroIiing Highways to Keep
Them In Good Condition.
The utter w~astefulness and lack of
economy in building roads and making
no provision for their repair and main
tenance are becoming more and more
apparent to taxpayers. The Importance
of the subject is appreciated i'll some
states, and measures have been adopt
ed. There are, however, many COM
munities where the necessary steps
have not yet been taken. The subject
is treated pertinently by W. Pierre
pont White in q recent article in Out
ing Magazine. In this article Mr..
White says:
Not one cent of money should be
expended in the creation of these eX-
pensive highways unless at the same
time a system of careful maintenance
and repair is established.
Steam roads when first built were
ends of iron rails to f1atten, bolts in
the fish plates to become loose, until q
general ov%erhauling was ordered, and
an excessively expensive amount of
repairs was made, owing to the neg
lect. Today well managed roads do
not permit this. But each road is di-
vided into sections under engineers,
under assistant engineers, under sec
ton bosses, with men passing daily up
and down the road, giving it constant
repair and attention. This we are ia
miliar with.
"In Europe highways are patrolled
in the same way. Men, usually old,
patrol the roads under their care, each
in charge of a section, each RESPONSE
BILE for its condition, and the slightest
hole in the wearing surface is detect
ed, repaired and filed in Immediately
after it commences. Ruts are detected
and filed, sluices and bitches kept
open and washing of the sides stopped,
and only by this constant care are
roads kept in good condition. This
same system must come to this cOun-
try and be ~inaugurated at the time
that the general Improvement is made;
otherwise the peoples money will be
thrown away"
