other cities particularly in Europe he
has evolved a portable oil-asphalt melt
ing and fluXing plant that will revolu-
tionize the work The plant is the
first of its kind in the world and will
attract the attention of highway en-
gineers throughout the United States.
Its cost is less than $1,000, and the
process to be used has been given a
thorough test.
Street Commissioner Travilla in de-
scribing the new apparatus and the
progress of road oiling said:
The oil-asphalt melting and fluXing port
able plant is a new departure in machin-
cry for road treatment After two years
experience with light and heavy oils be-
came satisfied there was room for i'm
provement by adding asphalt to heavy oil
for road treatment and the result of this
investigation has brought about the con-
struction OF the portable plant.
There is no subject today which is being
discussed more frequently than methods
of improving our highways. The oiling of
roads is making considerable progress in
the United States with good effect, but
much better results can be obtained by
! the application of a layer of hot oil-aS-
| phalt compound to the road surface. In
/
and also forms very solid coating and
a strong binder for the particles of sand
and the larger stone in the macadam
road, which carries the load.
The dust which usually results from the
wear of the road disappears, and at the
same time the natural expense of keeping
up the road is diminished, which more
than compensates for the cost of the
process. This comes from the great re-
duction of expense for sprinkling road
and scraping the mud well as from the
great durability of the roadbed
The cost per square yard for treating
the road by the new process will vary
from cents to IA cents, depending on
the amount of sand and asphalt used.
The plant consists of a melting and agi-
tation kettle, an air pressure for fur
nishing compressed air for agitating
the oi!-asphalt and for forcing it from
the kettle to a sprinkling wagon; also
steam pump as an auxiliary fol
pumping heavy oil from the tank cal
to the melting kettle and steam boil
err for furnishing steam for the opera
ton of the air pressure and steam
pump.
The kettle has a capacity of 1855
gallons and is divided tranversely into
two equal parts, one compartment be
ing intended for melting and mixing
the oil-asphalt, the other for agitatinl
the oil-asphalt
. The method of operation is: The Oil
, asphalt compound is put in the kettle
, and the mixture melted and agitatet
, from the low pressure reservoir to tn
required temperature and consistency
. when it is drawn into the closed com
, partment and then delivered to tn

pressure. In the meantime anothe

A HAPPY SOLUTION.

One of the great problems which
confronts those who are interested in
the Introduction of the highest and
most profitable type of agriculture
among American farmers has to do
with making available for the tiller
of the soil the results of the research
work which is being carried on by
state and federal agricultural stations
and departments. This may be accom-
plished in part by the publication Of
bulletins, by the running of demonstra-
ton trains. by introducing the study
of agriculture into the public schools.
but with all of these only partial
use is made of the great fund of in
formation referred to. The province
of Ontario has evolved plan which
is doing much to accomplish this good
work, one that should be adopted in
other portions Of America-namely,
through the organization of what is
known as the Ontario Agricultural
Experimental union among the farm
ers Of the territory. Last season this
union had APO members, on the farm
of each one of which experimental
work was carried on under the direc
ton Of the government station officials
The chief merit of this plan would
seem to lie in the fact that under il

THE STORY OF THE WEALTHY.

The Wealthy apple, which is one of
the finest of the fall varieties both in
color, texture and flavor. has an in
teresting history 1t is said that In the
year 1858 Peter Gideon, at that time a
resident of Clinton, ILL.,, moved to Min
nesota. settling in the vicinity of
Lake Minnetonka. He had been in
terested in horticulture and his first
experiments along this line consisted
in planting some thirty varieties of
apple trees together with few pear,
plum and cherry trees, as well as
considerable quantity of apple seeds
and peach pits. BY 1868, in spite Of
good care, the severe winters had
killed all Of his fruit trees but one
seeding crab. With the labor of years
gone for nothing, Mr. Gideon found
himself with large family, COW, a
few chickens and only IS with which
to finance affairs, and that in the face
Of a hard winter. This money that by
good right should have been spent to
replace the tattered rags which COW
cred his body he sent to Bangor, Me.
for seeds and scions of apples The
old suit which he patched up to last
over winter and the sacrifice he made
at the time were not in vain, for it
was from this purchase Of Maine
seeds that the Wealthy apple came,
the growing of which in the interven-
ing years has meant millions of dol
lars to horticulturists over the coun-
try. The apple was named from Mr.
GideOn'S wife, whose maiden name
was Wealthy Hall. While it is be,
lieved by many that this splendid
apple was q cross between some com
mon apple and the cherry crab, it is
thought by others to have been q
chance Seeding of unknown parent
age. Mr. Gideon did no scientific
work. yet he can only be viewed as q
benefactor of mankind The prize OF
$1,000 offered by the Minnesota Horti
cultural society for winter apple
which is as hardy. as beautiful in ex
ternal appearance and as full of juice
and fine of flavor as is the Wealthy fol
its season is still unclaimed. Horti
culturists OF scientific turn of mine
have here not only a chance to win ;
substantial financial reward but thu
everlasting gratitude of their own ant
succeeding generations.

GOOD ROAD WORK.

An enterprising road supervisor we
read of the other day is using the tele-
phone as an aid in securing good
roads. After a heavy rain he calls
I'D the farmers in his district who
have the dragging of the roads in hand
and specifies just what stretches OF
the highway they shall go over. They
get on to the roads before there is
much traffic. and the result is that the
road district is acquiring a reputation
which reflects a good deal Of credit
upon the intelligence of the supervisor
and the energy and good sense OF its
residents.
