Assistant Chemist Provost Hubbard Of
Director Pages scientific corps has
been leveling half mile stretch OF
road near Newton. Mass. for the lay
ing OF tho h.st molasses road.
This moiasses Is the almost useless
byproduct OF tho great cane sugar re-
hperieS OF the south and tho beet
sugar reAneries of tho west and south
west. It is sickishly sweet, nearly as
black and as thick as tar and almost
us powerful as binder. Having al
ways boon a waste product, 1t can be
bought at lower price than coal tar
and in greater quantities. In laborn-
tory experiments It behaved so well
and held out such promises for ideal
roads that the practical test OF real
road wns decided upon.
"Slng rs tho useless byproduct Of
the blast furnaces and molasses as tho
useless byproduct OF the sugar re-
hneries," a circular issued by tho Office
Of public roads says, "may in a few
years revolutionizo country road build
ing. create demand for more eXtond
cd roads in tho United States. where
those products arc most easily to be
had, and add milllonD to tho wealth
OF tho country by putting cash
Value on hitherto waste material.
"While experts arc labortng with
these experiments in tho east, soutl
and middle west, another scientist
also from the office of public roads, is
engaged at Independence, Kan. In try
ing to devise method of constructing
oiled roads analogous to tho methods
which have produced the famous oiled
roads OF southern California. He Is
mixing heavy oils, possessing pro-
nounced asphaltic bases, with natural
soil and sand and compacting the
preparation 80 formed with tampinG
roller.
"The oiled roads OF California have
saved millions Of dollars to the farm
ers and fruit growers Of that fertile
state in the last few years by sup.
pressing tho dust that formerly arose
Ia binding clouds with the passing Of
every vehicle. Those dust clouda,
foating to adjacent folds and or
chards, deprecated the prtce OF farm
produce and lowered tho values Of
real estate to a startling degree. The
sprinkling OF OH was tried, and the
dust was held In check. Then some
OF tho roads were plowed and the otl
mixed with the earth and the maE3
firmly rolled to properly crowned
surface. Splendid results followed IN
most instances"

OH Roads In Illinois.

A most interesting experiment is be.
Ing conducted in central Illinois, near
Springfield. Tho 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 arc not known on the
heavy black son of central Illinois.
The top soii of tho road is being mixed
with an asphalt oil TO depth OF six
inches. Whit the results will be no one
can predict, but this may be tho solu'
ton OF the good roads problem. In
many parts Of the Sucker State stone
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 th'
eastern states. Good roads must be
secured by drainage, special care and
possibly by the use Of on, This expert
ment will be watched with great
deal Of interest,

DIRT ROAD BUILDING.
How 20 Mako the Roadbed Solid and

Ho,a 20 Mako the Roadbod Solid and
% Away With Ruto.
IN the construction Of a new road
through an open country the usual
CUSTOM has been to excayate bitches
with the road grader and throw all
the material into the center Of the
roadway, thus making what is often
called turnpike. Tho objection to
this method Is that the most important
part Of tho roadbed. the foundation.
is composed largely OF soft material,
which does not easily become consoli-
dated. a better way would be to re-
move entirely oil sod from tho por-
lions excavated and use 1t for filling
In the low places, where It can be GOV.
cred with a. least three feet Of earth,
Gays samuel n. Lea, state engineer Of
South Dakota. After the sod is ne
moved the road grader can be prop
eRiy 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

case IL sod 10 thrown into It 1ndlscrim-
inateiy. Or a Level or nearly level
prairie the ~oadbed should be built up
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 on.
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 tho rnts out by continual
raking or dragging. Whenever Futs
arc allowed TO remain they WIN hold
water from every rain, which, unless
removed, will soften the Foadbed and
result In chuck holes. Injurious alike
to the team, the wngon and tho driver.
The process OF dragging, smoothing
and planning the road with ono of the
numerous styles of road drags now
happily coming into use in many To-
caliaes is 80 simple and inexpensive
that there Is no excuse for allowing
any road to become rough and rutty
through neglect.

THE HONEY IN FLOWERS.
Pits and Pockets In Which IT Ia cntor
fullY Concnnlcd.

fully Conconlcd.
Before "thc bee sucks" as Ariel
put it, he must find the wonderful,
places where tho flowers hide away
their honey, to be found like tho
priests hiding holes in ancient
mansions by the right sort of yig-
itor, and to keep away all intruders.
In the rcccsscs of the crown inn
pcrial lily at the center can be seen
six large honey pits, one on every
floral leaf, and each is brimming
over with big drop of honey and
glistcning like tear drop. Shake
the flower and it "wceps" as the big
drops fall from it, soon to lie re-
placed by other tears in the rapidly
sccrcting flower. The simple folk
call the flower "Job's tears"
The snowdrop is literally flow
ing with honey, for in swollen veins
traversing its fragile whiteness arc
rivers of nectar. The petals of the
columbine are ingeniously and clab-
orately designed with view to pro-
viding good places of hiding for
the honey. Each is circular, hol-
low, shaped like horn. In each
tho honey is secreted in round
knob at which would be the mouth
piece end Of the horn, and the five
are arranged in a ring side by eide
with the honey knobs aloft. Though
the honey store is obvious from
without, yet the insects who would
sip it must creep into the flower
and penetrate with long nose up
the curying horn to the knob.
Sometimes the petals are all
Joined together into a tube, and the
sweet nectar simply exudes from
the inner side of the wall and col
lects at the bottom. This is tho
case in the dead ncttle, the tube of
which forms so toothsome a morsel
that some children call it "suckies.p
Tho honeysuckle is similarly plan
ned, and its sweetness is so striking
as to have furnished its name.
The monkshood has quaint nee
taries. III the hood be drawn back
there suddenly spring into sight
two objects on long stalks which
are sometimes like French horn,
sometimes like a cowl or, looked at
sideways, not unlike pair of
doves. Their presence within the
hood has provided the nicknamcs
Adam and Eve and Noah's Ark.
Thus the honey BAGS are carefully
tucked away and protected Chi

Ho aaved a chilling.

At certain cloth factory in
Scotland it was the custom TO fino
tho work people for turning out
bad work. One day a workman
brought piece Of cloth to be cx-
amined, and the manager found
two little holes about an inch
apart. lie then showed these to
the man and demanded 2 shilinga
Rno, shilling for each hole.
as it shilling for each hole q
asked the man.
"Yes," said the manager.
"And is it the same for every
hole, big or littlcY
"l'cs, exactly the same" said the
manager
"Wcll, then. I'll save a shilling"
And putting Ills fingers in hc.lloles
he quickly made the two into one.
