If SUGAR Boils Too LONG.

Boiling sugar or water for ices or

as every cook knows. If cooked too
much it Will be sugary and if not
enough it will run.
The latter fault can be remedied by
returning to the stove for a few min
utes
When the boiling has gone beyond
the desired degree the consistency can
be reduced by adding a few table
spoonfuls of cold water and boiling
again.
If the sugar has been burned the
taste will remain. even though sugar
ing has been prevented
Never stir sugar and water while

late. Watch 1t carefully and take it off
at the critical moment. which in most
cases must be decided by experience.

EXPERIM ENTAIL ROAD.
Details Of One That Has Given the
Best Of Satisfaction.

Samuel S. Jones Of Clinton, Wis,
furnished the following details of con
struction of an experimental road built
for educational purposes under the di-
rection of the Office of public roads,
with George l.. Cooley in charge:
This road was constructed in the
town of Clinton, Rock county, Wis,
one mile east of the village of Clinton.
In the construction Of this road all
the machinery was furnished by the
government at no expense to the town.
The town, on its part, furnished all the
labor and material.
"This road commenced at the top of
a clay hill and extended down the
side to and across a black muck
slough. Thus we had the advantage
of observing the construction of and
finishing under the different soil con-
ditions. Tie road was first graded to
a width of thirty-six feet from gutter
to gutter. The trench for receiving
the crushed rock of which the road
was constructed was twelve feet wide.
This trench was shouldered evenly at
roadbed was brought to a perfect
grade. having a crown Of three-fOurths
inch to the foot from the center of
crown to the side shoulders.
when the roadbed was in proper
shape for the superstructure cross
drains were put in at intervals of 100
feet These drains, which were from
eight to ten inches deep and one foot
wide, were filed with coarse crushed
stone and extended to the outside gut
ter, thereby insuring perfect drainage
for the road when finished.
1.-THE superstructure was built Of
limestone, the first layer being crush
ed to a size which would pass through
a three inch ring. This layer was then
rolled thoroughly and covered with
finer grade Of stone and again rolled,
This method of placing on layers and
rolling was Continued until fourteen
