sand or gravel, blowing should not b
resorted to, as it would result in clay
surface rather than one of sand or gravel.
A road foreman must know not only
what to pillow and what not to pillow, but
how and when to pillow. II the road is OF
the kind which according to the above in
| structions should be plowed over its whole
| width, the best method is to run the first
furrow in the middle of the road and work
| out to the sides, thus forming crown.
Results from such blowing are greatest in
the spring or early summer.
In bitches pillow can be used to good
| advantage, but should be followed by q
scraper or grader. To make wide, deep
bitches nothing better than the ordinary
drag scraper has yet been devised. For
hauls under 100 feet, or in making s'fills''
it is especially serviceable. 1t is mistake,
however, to attempt to handle long haul
material with this scraper, as the wheel
scraper is better adapted to such work.
For hauls Of more than 800 feet, a wagon
should be used.
The machine most generally used in
road work is the grader, or road machine,
This machine is especially useful in
smoothing and browning the road andNin
opening bitches. A clay subsoil under q
thin coating of soil should not be dis
turbed with grader. 1t is also mistake
to use a grader Unfortunately and to
pull material from bitches upon sand
clay road. Not infrequently turf, soil and
silt from ditch bottoms are piled in the
middle OF the road in ridge, making
mudholes certainty,
1t is important in using grader to
avoid building up the road too much at
one time. A road gradually built up by
frequent use of the grader will last better
than if completed at one operation. The
foreman frequently thinks his road must
be high in the first instance. He piles up
material from ten inches to foot in depth
only to learn, with the arrival of the first
rain, that he has furnished the material
for as many inches of mud. All material
should be brought up in thin layers, each
layer well puddled and firmly packed by
roller or traffic before the next is added.
A common mistake is to crown too high
with the road machine on a narrow road.
The split log drag should be used to fill
in ruts and smooth the road when not too
badly washed. The drag possesses great
merit and is SO simple in construction and
operation that every farmer should have
one.

A Great Land OpeBlng.

A number of exceptional opportuni
ties are now being offered by the gov.
ernment for enterprising and intelli.
gent farmers to secure choice farms
on a dozen or more large irrigation
projects which are nearing completion.
Owing to the rapid narrowing of the
limits of unoceupied public domain,
it is doubtful if these opportunities
will ever occur again. It is probable,
therefore, that the west will see one OF
the greatest infuxes of homeseekers in
1908 that has been witnessed in many
years.
The great fertility and wonderful
crop yields from irrigated lands, and
the favorable terms the government
offers settlers, warrants the belief th at
before the year closes not a single
farm will be without it's entryman.
These farms are located in North Da-
kota, Montana, Wyoming and Ne
vada.
A letter addressed to the statistician,
.. S. Reclamation Service, Washing
ton, D. c., will secure full informa-
ton concerning the location, soil, eli
mate, crop possibilities, and terms of
disposal.

Dc You Remember

And the ether fishing days when you

STAIRS to tie dim k1tchen-a drink OF
milk, doughnut and triangle of pie,
then you stole out quietly TO the barn
and got the spading fork, then the
search, armed with fork and tomato
can, under the broad leaves Of the rhu-
barb bed, back of the henhouse and
down by the COW barn until you had
enough worms for the days sport
Then of course you left the fork stick
ing Ia the ground-gou never would
learn to put things away-and started
off: through the garden and orchard,
currants and pocketful of sopsavfnes
over the pasture bars, eating hand
full of huckleberries or low bush black
berries here and there; into the wood
road-very dark and still In the dawn
where you stepped along very quietly
SO as not to disturb the bears (you
knew perfectly well there were no
bears, but you rather enjoyed the
creepy sensation); then out through
the deep wet meadow grass to the riv-
kr, where the sun was now beginning
TO burn away the wisps OF mist and
the red winged blackbirds were max

keeping. You reached the river bank

Suction,

People often speak Of chimneys
drawing" We also speak of the sue
ton of pump. There is not SO much
harm in these expressions, except that
they are liable to lead US away from
the true state affairs But in truth
there is no such thing as suction. Sue
ton is merely partial or entire absence
of pressure In one place which enables
the greater pressure Of air or fluid in
another place to rush in. In the case
of the chimney the heated air in it
does not weigh so much as an equal
volume of cold air, and if the air in
the chimney, the air in the room and
the outside air were all the same tenn
perature there would be no tendency
to any motion. But when the air In
the chimney is hot it does rot press
doWnword 50 much as the colder sur
rounding afr presses VI vard. Conse-
quently an upward current is started
and will continue if the air in the
chimney is kept hot.-A. s. S. Ackernan

American Railroad Ties In Honduras

A railroad in Honduras which has
| just been opened to traffic as far as
Ceiba, IS miles, was built with creo-
soted pine ties from the United States.
The increased value of wood thus
preserved is now we'll recognized by
railroad men. The life of railroad
tie may be greatly heightened and
sometimes more than doubled by pre-
serva alive treatment. In humid eli
mate like that of Honduras, pine tie
in its natural state would be quickly
destroyed by fungus.
Large railroads of the United States
treat with preservatives many, or all,
of the new ties put in. One road is
said to treat 10000 a day. The in
creasing difficulty of procuring new
ties, with advancing prices, compels
railroads to make them last as long
as possible. 1t has been estimated
that therailroads of the United States
demand in single year the ties grow
ing on forest strip one mile wide and
three thousand miles long.
1t is worthy of note that while creo-
soted pine ties are being shipped from
the United States to Honduras, hard
woods are coming to the United States
from that country. Americans are
doing the shipping both ways. A
tract of 5000 acres in Honduras has
been secured by an American company
which will cut the mahogany and other
valuable hardwoods and ship them to
the United States.
