Grading a Roadbed.

II Ia simply extraordinary the lack
OF Judgment shown by many who IN.
dertake 20 shape roadbed The road
allowance in various states Is sixty.
six feet. Tn rounding up the roadbed
the earth Is sometimes moved toward
The center from nearly the entire dis
lance OF the width Of the road. This
means that the bitches for carrying
away the water are not distant from
the fences that hedge I'm the highway.
The roadbed Is entirely too wide. II
cannot be sufficiently rounded toward
the center, and rs a result water does
not run on with sufficient quickness.
The temptation to spoil roads by grad.
Ing them thus IL all the stronger since
road graders have come into use This
result follows from the comparative
quickness with which the earth can be
moved by these machines. A distance
Of forty-two to forty-fve feet between
the outer edges Of the bitches fur.
nishes a roadbed sufficiently wide.

Oil Roads In Illinois.

A most interesting experiment is be
Ing conducted in central Illinois, near
Springfield. The state highway com
mission Is making a test of oil on coun-
try roads. While oil roads are no nov
city in many parts Of the United
States, they are not known on tho
heavy black soil of central Illinois
The top soil OF the road Is being mixed
with an asphalt oil to a depth OF six
inches What the results will be no one
can predict, but this may be the solu-
don of the good roads problem. In
many parts of the Sucker State stono
roads are out of the question. With
out the material near at hand the
great prairie states cannot expect to
have stone pixies. as do some OF the
eastern states. Good roads must bs
secured by drainage, special care and
possibly by the use of oil This expert
ment will be watched with q great
deal Of interest

Keep Out Of Rut-save Roads.

1t is not unlikely that American
farmers who have with them always
the question of good roads and how to
maintain them may find in the follow
ing order. which was issued by the
Panama canal commission to officers
and men on the lsthmus, a suggestion
OF how ca-elessness contributes to
making good roads bad and bad roads
worse. The order says:
Notices have been posted at the cor.
rails, and the corral foremen have In
structed teamsters that the custom Of
wagons following in one another's
tracks must be discontinued. Consid-
cradle of the maintenance work on the
macadam roads. especially during the
wet season, is made necessary by
wagons wearing deep ruts. The team
sters have been Instructed TO distribute
travel over the full width OF the high
ways. and it is believed that the cost
or road repairs will be much reduced as
soon as compliance with these instruc-
tons becomes general"

A Model Hotel Boots"

1t was in u Dublin hotel. and as
closed the bedroom door, says writer
In the Manchester Guardian, I noticed
that the end of one Of my boot laces
was inside the room, the boot to which
1t was attached having been placed as
usual outside. When / awoke next
morning the boot lace end was still
there, and 1 opened the door expecting
to find that the boots had not been
cleaned, but / was wrong. A very
careful hotel servant, very model
among boots" had found the lace
tightly gripped by the door and rather
than disturb me had carefully removed
it from the lace holes and carried
away the boot. Presently l heard
quiet noise outside the door. The
model boots had brought my boots
back again and was industriously re-
lacing that one which he had unlaced.

Grading Attachment That Can Be Put
Upon Any Traction Engine.
Streets Of Holdrege, Neb.. have
been improved and beautified by q
very unique and eminently practical
road and street grading machine, the
Invention of Elijah A. Hollenbeck Of
Funk, Neb. The machine was built
by Mr. Hollenbeck himself, and not
withstanding Its crudity Of construc-
ton, owing to lack OF facilities for
turning out the proper kind of work,
It has proved a success and a money
maker from the very start, says the
Omaha World-Herald. 1t is In fact a
road grading attachment, so construct
ed that 1t can readily be put upon any
ordinary make Of traction engine.
The machine is very simple in It's
construction and seldom ever gets out
Of order or causes any annoyance to
the operator 1t consists OF a frame
attached to the boiler and running
gear Of the engine. On the left side,
directly In front OF the large drive
wheel, is beam carrying the plow
The furrow cut by the plow is just
outside Of the tread Of the drive wheel
of the engine, enabling the operator
to cut straight bank to any length
desired. The dirt Is dropped from the
moldboard upon a belt conveyor pass
Ing under the boiler of the engine and
deposited In the middle Of the street
or road to make the grade. The outer
end Of this elevator can be raised or
lowered to meet requirements.
Mr.. Holleubeck, the inventor, is a
young farmer who has lived on a farm
all his life. He has had no special
training as machinlst his only edu-
cation in that line being that CLEANED
from practical experience In operating
thrashlng machines and other kinds of
farm machinery

James Dunlop, of this village.
has a female shepherd dog that re-
Gently lost her litter OF four pups.
For several days she was distressed
over her loss. and her owner was
afraid She would die. She refused
to eat, and spend most OF the sine
lying in the yard whining pitifully.
Now about the same time that
the puppies died there was an in
crease In the family OF one OF the
sows on the Dunlop place. The
SOW died shortly after the pigs were
born, and Mr.. Dunlop began to raise
the orphans on a milk bottle They
thrived very well, but seemed to
their mother as much as the shop
herd dog missed her offspring. So
Mr.. Dunlop tried an experiment.
He carried The three little Jersey
red jigs 20 the dog house and called
TO her She stood back at first sight

as II they were her own.
BY the next day she had become

and adopted s. also.
