PREVENTIVE OF DUST.
Calcium Chloride Tried on a Road In
Washington.

Officials of the agricultural depart
ment have made experiments with the
use of calcium chloride as a dust pre-
ventive. and the tests were attended
with great success. stretch of road
in the city of Washington was select
ed for the trial. and in preparation for
the treatment all dust and dirt were
scraped from the surface of the road
way. A solution was prepared by mix
ing 800 pounds of commercial calcium
chloride granular containing 70 per
cent calcium chloride and % per cent
moisturej with 300 gallons of water
in an ordinary street sprinkler. care
being taken to agitate the liquid thor
oughly before applying it to insure a
uniform solution. 1t was then applied
from one sprinkling head the sprin-
kler passing slowly back and forth
over the road to facilitate the com
plete absorption of the solution.
Each application consisted of 600
gallons over an area of 1852 square
yards. or OBS gallons per square yard.
A marked improvement in the condi-
ton of the road was noted at once.
and after the second treatment it was
necessary to repeat the operation only
at isolated spots. The use of the wa
ter wagon. which had before made
regular trips over the road, was aban-
doned as unnecessary. The texture of
the road surface was completely
changed after the application of the
calcium chloride. Before treatment
raveling was excessive in spots, and
the whole surface seemed loosely knit
together After the second application
this condition changed. and the road
surface became smooth. compact and
resilient

Some figures furnished by Il. p. San
born and L. II. Ashton. general man
aSer of the Chicago and Northwestern
railroad. have revealed the wonders
of this simple device. Mr.. Sanborn
said: The least expense per mile per
0nnum for split log dragging was $1.5O,
the greatest little over So and the
average expense per mile for five and
half miles Il little over So | have
lived along this road all my life, and
never i'll forty years have | seen it
freer FROM mud ana dust. despite the
fact that during the season we have
experienced the extremes of weather
conditions
The testimony of Mr. Ashton is
equally strong. Learning that town
ship in Iowa had been making an in
yestigation of the split log drag and
had been experimenting with it for a
year on twenty-eight miles of high
way. he sent an agent to secure infor-
nation. 1t was reported that, al
though the town board had paid the
cost of making the drags and of hir-
ing men to operate them, the total
expense for one year averaged but
$40 a mile. ard the roads were re-
ported to have been like a race track"
the greater portion of the year.

Oiled Macadam as Rain Defer.

During a long continued period of
wet weather at Kansas City and vicin-
ity the merits and disadvantages of
different roads were strongly empha-
sized. The dirt roads, though fairly
good in favorable weather, were al
most impossible in many places. But
the macadam roads that had been
oiled were in excellent condition. Aft
er the oil has penetrated the macadam
no amount of water can affect the
firmness of the paving The rock roads
have heretofore been extremely dusty
in dry weather and sloppy and rutty
In wet spells. Since oil has been ap-
piled to the surface they remain prac-
tically the same regardless of the state

CRACK ROAD MACHINE
When Best to Use the Spill
Log Drag.
FOLLOWING EACH HEAVY RAIN
Finest Work Done When the Soil Is
Moist, Net Stcky-CIay Highway
Dragging Needs Special Attention.
Economy of the Device.

The best results with the split lot
drag have been obtained by dragging
roads once each day after each heavy
rain. In some cases. however, one
dragging every three or four weeks
has been found sufficient to keep
road in good condition.
When the soil is moist but not sticky
the drag does its best work says a bull
letin from the government office of
public roads. AS the soil in field will
bake if plowed wet, so the road will
bake if the drag is used on it when it
is wet. If the roadway is full of holes
or badly rutted, the drag should be
used once when the ground is soft
and slushy. This is particularly APP
plicable before cold spell in winter,
when it is possible to SO prepare the
surface that it will freeze smooth.
Not infroquently conditions are met
which may be overcome by a slight
change in the manner of hitching.
Shortening the chain tends to lift the
front slab and make the cutting slight.
while longer hitch causes the front
to sink more deeply into the earth and
act on the principle of plow.
If a furrow of earth is to be moved,
the doubletree should be attached
close to the ditch end of the drag, and
the driver should stand with one foot
on the extreme forward end of the
front slab.
Conditions are so varied in different
localities. however, that it is quite
impossible to lay down specific rules.
Certain sections of a roadway will re-
quire more attention than others be-
cause of steep grades, wet weather
springs, soil conditions. exposure TO
sun and wind washes, etc. There is
one condition, however, in which spe-
cial attention should be given. Clay
roads under persistent dragging fire.
quently become too high in the center.
This may be corrected by dragging the
earth toward the center of the road
twice and away from 1t once.
There is no question as to the econo-
my of this roadmaking implement
either in first cost or in operation. In
SIX counties in Kansas in 1906 the cost

Beware of Narrow Tires.

Where the soil is stiff or loamy it
pays to use the split log road drag
after it rains and before the ground
dries hard. Ninetenths of the country
roads could be made into splendid
thoroughfares by the proper persistent
use of the road drag and wide tires.
Wide tires alone. will keep a loamy
road in fairly good condition with just
one scraping in the spring TO round up
the turnpike. Sandy roads are a much
more serious problem. but sometimes a
surface of clay will soon mix with the
sand to form hard track. and wide
tires will keep it hard and smooth so
the rainwater will run off quickly to
the sides. but narrow tires will ruin
such a road surface quickly by cutting
ruts to. hold water. 1t would be diff
cult to invent worse implement of
destruction. especially on roads that
are inclined to be sandy.

ditto MARKS ALL RIGHT,

Another Primary Law
Opinion.

Topeka, June 23.-In reply to
many written and verbal queries
Attorney General Jackson has issued
an opinion holding that primary
petitions upon which ditto marks
appear instead of addresses written
out are valid. On many petitions
where the signers were all from one
precinct after the first address was
written the signers made ditto marks
indicating their residence. Ques-
ton was made as to the legality of
this, but the attorney general holds
that 1t does not invalidate the petit
ton.

EXCHANGE Of VIEWS
ON STOCK FARMING.
Large and Small Horses.

1t takes all kind of people to
make a world; some of them of
very peculiar belief. 1t is even the
belief of some that small horses can
do more work than large horses.
Steady draft work puts the heavy
dralters to the front. The small
horse may have the action and the
will but he cannot fill the place of
the drafter. Farm work is work for
drafters.
Some people talk of surplus of
horses with in two years, and a
much lower price before them.
Possibly it will be so: Speaking of
the scrub horse, but the heavy
drafter will always catch the good
horse buyers eye and cause him to
dig down deep in his pocketbook,

TN|NE NEARLY ALL GONE.
Demand for Penitentiary Pro-
duct Never So Great Before

Topeka, Ju2e 23.-This year has
been a record breaker at the state
penitentiary twine plant. More
binding twine has already been
sold than in any other single year
and the demand is still on. Ward
en- w. H. Haskell says if it had not
been for the floods over the state
the plant would have been unable to
supply the demand.
"There is not more than 500, 900
pounds of twine left at the prison, "
said Warden Haskell, s'and we are
sending out from IS, 900 to 60, 900
pounds every day. The indications
are that by the time the harvest is
over there will not be a poun;l of
twine left. Because of the high
water we were compelled to cancel
many big orders but 1 don't know
Wudl VIC WOuld nave IL
had not been cancelled we would
have been out of twine long ago."
I he prison plant is putting out
special lot of twine this year to be
used in binding corr. Warden
Haskell is taking this method of
preventing any loss to the state by
the fire which damaged a lot of
sisal at the plant last winter. The
fire damaged about Geo bales Of
sisal weighing $50 pounds each.
Haskell had this sisal spred out
over a forty acre field to dry
thoroughly and now he is having
it made into a special kind of twine
for corn binding. 1t is shorter
length than the ordinary twine but
w4ll be good for corn binding.

Just now it looks as if one of our
three colts being raised by our three
Percheron work mares on our farm
wonld be worth as much as the
profits of our farm.
We never yet have heard a man
regret patronizing the best draft
horse within 10 miles of him, and
we have time after time heard com
plants by the score from those who
patronized the high grades The
breeding season unfortunately comes
at one of the busiest seasons of the
year. Take time and breed to the
best draft horse you can find, and
improve the draft horse race in
Kansas.
There are three colts now upon
this farm, recent arrivals, two are
from grade sire, one from a pure
bred. Next year all the colts on
this farm will be from the pure bred
sire. This tells the story of quality.
The colt that cost IS more will have
several times that added to her
value when grown, with no addit-
ional cost for her raising.

SGROvER CLEVELAND DIES
SUDDENLY IN PRINCETON

Princeton, N. J., June 24.-Ex-
President Cleveland died suddenly
at his flome here at 8 40 o'clock this
morning. His death was due to
heart failure complicated with other
diseases. The announcement of his
death delayed until an official state
pent had been prepared by the
Z physicians who have been attending
@6im in the various periods of his
illness.
Last night there was slight fur
Yry among the friends of the Cleve-
/ lands and a rumor that something
Ewas seriously wrong with the ex-
3 *president. This was occasioned by
kthe visit of DIR. Bryant of New York
i Mr.. Clevelands physician for many
]. years. Mrs. Cleveland later in the
d evening, discussing DR.. Bryant's
visit said there was no occasion for
alarm and that Mr.. Cleveland was
getting along nicely. This reas-
surance totally unprepared his
friends for the announcement of his
y deatl-.
Those ct the bedside when the
end came were Mrs. Cleveland and
three physicians. The only other
persons in the house at the time
were number of servents.
Drs. Bryant and Lockwood came
here from New York early yesterday
evening and remained at the Cleye-
land home all night, as was the GUS
tom when they visited Princeton.
While Mrs. Cleveland did not wish
to alarm her faiends last night by
telling them her husband was again
Quit i'll and assured them he was
doing we'll, it became known today
4 that he took slight change for the
worse during the afternoon. There
was nothing alarming in his condition
lit was thought by the physicians,
and the former president passed a
fairly good night Notwithstanding
the heat.
When the physicians visited the
patient this morning they found him
sas'indisposed," as one put it. DR..
y gCarnochan, who lives in Princeton,
mas asked over to the house. This
IAwas before s o'clock. Shortly after
SAhat hour Gfr~rGleveland seemed to
9 Fail and the physicianssgsSagnized
INSTANTLY the sympums.& Immediate
arrangements were made to combat
the attack. With every ounce. of
resource at hand the physicians
worked over their patient. Finally
he lapsed into unconsciousness and
! the end came. 1t is believed the
terri6c heat of the last few days con-
attributed in a great degree to the
sadden death of Mr.. Cleveland.
