Southern Expert Finds It Cheaper and
Best Material to Use.
They are making roads of sawdlst
mixed with earth on a new plan in
Leon county. Fla. Two ridges of earth
are thrown up with road machine at
the required width from each other,
and the space between Is filed with a
six inch bed of sawdust. This is fol-
lowed with smaller machine, which
plows up and mixes the earth with the
sawdust. This makes a roadbed on
which the tires of the heaviest loaded
vehicles make no impression. The
contractor. G. Fl. Averitt, has kept an
accurate account of expenses In con-
nection with this section of sawdust
and earth road and says the cost ag-
gregates $29T a mile. showing it to be
about the cheapest road material in
use.
II may be suggested that sawdust is
not durable material, but the Florida
True Democrat meets this objection
with the statement that one or two
such roads were constructed In south
Georgia county twenty years ago and
are still in good condition, showing its

ROAD THAT DRAINAGE WOULD IMPROVE.
earth roads and should be used after
each rain. On heavy clay or gumbo
soil the drag when properly used tends
to puddle the road surface, keep it free
from ruts, dense, smooth and hard,
thus securing the best surface drain
age possible.
But In many places the underground
water is too near the surface and
must be removed before a good road
will be possible. This means that
some form of subdrainage must be
resorted to, usually tile drains or clay
or concrete. Water from whatever
source must be got rid of effectively.
As water In freezing expands one
eighth Its volume, the road heaves out
of shape, and when the ice melts the
road disappears beneath the rising tide
of mud constantly fed by rains, melt
ing SHOWS and underground springs.
In seepy and boggy places the sub
drainage in order to be fully effective
should lower the water level to not
less than three feet below the road
surface. If tiles are used they should
be carefully laid, true to grade. Most
failures in tile drainage can be at
tributed to carelessness in laying or
too fiat grade. Tile less than four
inches In diameter should rarely be
used, nor should a grade of less than
six inches to the hundred feet be used
unless absolutely necessary. In a very
dense soil 1t is always advisable to
cover the tile to at least a depth of
six to twelve inches with a coarse sand
or fine gravel. Care should always be
taken to procure free outlet for the
drains and to protect the outlet with
concrete bulkhead or catch basin.
which can always be kept clean and
the outlet free.
The Kind of tile to be used depends
on local conditions. Concrete tile IL
properly made is quite as good as clay
tile Which kind to use is entirely a
local question of dollars and cents. If
concrete tile can be made more cheap-
ly than clay tile can be had, use con-
crete; If not, use clay tile

MAINTENANCE OF HIGHWAYS.

Roads In Good Condition.

Features Of the Patrol System to Keep
Roads In Good Condition.
The new state highway commission
has announced that it expects to adopt
the patrol system for the maintenance
of the state and county highways here
tofore improved by state aid. This
will involve the maintenance of
force Of some 1870 patrolmen, each with
horse and cart and each assigned to
look after the repair Of ten miles of
road. This system involves an ex-
pense Of 500 a year per mile of road
to be repaired. 1t has been success
fully followed out in keeping in con-
dition improved highways IN Massa-
chusetts and in certain foreign coun-
tries, and under the system the roads
are kept In such a state of efficiency
that much in the way of expensive re-
pair work is avoided.
The commission has also voted to
establish Immediately a bureau of re-
search for the purpose of investigat-
ing the various methods of construc-
tion in vogue in neighboring states
and for conducting experiments with
view to ascertalning the best form
Of construction which viii be adapted
to the present conditions. having In
mind especially the great damage
'aused by automobile traffic.

ANY farmer who makes butter or
sells the cream from as many az nye
cows needs a separator to get the best
profits.
Cream from strippers is hard to churn
because the particles of butter fat do
not stick together well. The difhculty
is generally remedied by feeding silaRe
or green food and protein.
Cream should be ripened from ten TO
twenty-four hours and churned at a
temperature Of 50 to 81 degrees. This
will give butter with good grain and
body.

VALUE OF
THE SILO.
Bv C. M. ADAMS.

The use of silos has three great ad-
vantages over dry feed methods. 1t
is more economical, the feeding value
of the product is improved, and silos
make cattle feeding profitable. hence
help to maintain soil fertility. The
economy of siage results from the
fact that cattle will readily eat the
entire stalk In silage form. while In
whole or shredded dry fodder goodly
portion of the stalk is refused. If fod-
der is stored In a dry shed the per-
centage waste in curing is not much
different from the same in silos since
there is a portion of silage on top that
spois, but If corn Is husked In the
field the same crop in silage is worth
at least 25 per cent more.
IL the crop Is to be stored the silo
Is the most economical storage room,
since nearly twice the amount of dry
matter may be stored In the same
space in the form of silage than as
fodder; also crops may often be 81
oed that would otherwise be lost.
The greatest recommendation for
lilo is that it Increases the feeding

chemical composition, but chiefly fron
the physical effect and increased pal
atability of the silage; therefore ami
mails may be induced to eat large
amounts. Owing to its succulence
silage, like grass. keeps the bowel
regulated and tends to maintain tha
degree Of healthful vigor so essentia
in hard worked dairy and breeding
animals.
Some silo advantages are Indirect
The most laudable thing about the
silo harvest system is that 1t does
away with selling crops off the land
thereby depicting soil fertility. 1t
makes possible a system of stock
farming whereby nearly all the fer
tilizing constituents are thrown back
on the soil in the form of manure
Chief among silage crops is corn. II
large amount of coarse feed is want
ed 1t pays to plant some large stalk
southern variety. but If a richer feed
is wanted northern varieties, which
yield more grain, should be used. In
either case variety should be select
ed that will mature before frost. In
the south sweet sorghum has been
found to be good silage crop. as the
tonnage per acre is greater than corn
and the heads yield fair percentage
of grain. Red clover, alfalfa and peas
have been used, but owing to their
juiciness 1t Is difficult to get silage
from them that will not sour. Mixed
crops have also been used, but they
rarely pay for the added trouble of
mixing. Plants with hollow stems are
unsa atisfactory since it is so difficult to
force out the air.
There are several practicable types
of silage cutting machines on the mar
ket. The blower elevator is used al
most altogether now. In filling the
silo care should be taken to tramp well
next to the walls. 1t is best to take
several days in filling, so that the air
may be forced out more completely,
thereby making a sweeter favored
silage.
Sllage is pre-eminently a COW feed.
1t finds greatest favor with dairy cat
tie since it may be made to reproduce
succulence of grass in winter or may
serve to uphold the milk flow during
a drought In summer. In dairies near
cities where pasture is not available
1t often determines the difference be-
tween profit and loss by supplanting
costly grain foods. 1t also makes pos
sible the rearing of calves cheaply to
replenish the herd. Some complaint
has been made against the flavor of
milk from silage fed cows, but there
Is no danger from this source II the
silage is first class unless the milk is
allowed to remain in open vessels In
the barn and so absorb the odors.
On the general farm the good effect |
Of silage on the health Of the breeding |
herd and young stock In winter can |
hardly be overestimated. Ii is an ex-
eellent feed for ewes with lambs. II
may be used In small quantities for
horses, though 1t is too
'appy to feed work horses.

fngton county, for example, brick roads
are being built at cost of only $1,000
TO $4,000 per mile more than macad-
amized roads would cost, and 1t has
been found that the cost of maintain
ing the latter will in six or eight years
consume all the difference After that
the maintenance Of the stone road con-
unues Increasingly expensive, while
the properly constructed brick road
VIII under ordinary conditions need
no repairs for an indefinite period.
One Of Washington county's farmers
observed, 1.-The first cost of a stone
road is only the beginning Of the ex-
pense; the brick road is an asset"
Here, as elsewhere. 1t has been found
that the best argument for brick roads
is-a brick road. Two or three years
ago the first one was built for a dis
tance OF half a mile along the Ohio
river where the road Is flooded two
or three times a year and where 1t was
conceded that no other kind of a road
would stay putt for a single season.
The brick road stayed. and every farm.
er who drove into Marietta over that
road is elamoring for its extension.
At the time of my visit to Washing
ton county last fall the commissioners
were finishing two new brick roads.
One up the Muskingum valley is six
teen feet wide with two feet of gravel
outside the curb and two feet of earth
BERN outside the gravel, practically
n ~.
brick is laid on a seven TO eight inch
gravel base with concrete curb, brick,
curb and BERN all rolled to an even
surface. The cost of this road was
Sli,500 mile. and It was built under
state aid law.
On the west side OF the MuskIngum
river, on the ridge above Marietta, they
were building a ten foot brick road.
This road was built on a direct levy
made by the county commissioners,
and the fact that they dared to make
such levy proves how generally pub
lie sentiment approves this kind of
road building. This road has a broken
stone base with two feet Of stone and
two OF earth BERN, making an eight |
cen foot roadway. The curb on this |
road Is OF brick. While this Is the |
cheapest Of all curbing. opinions differ
as to its permanence. Certainly the /
BERN must be kept up most carefully,
as any falling away Of the support
will let the curb down The cost Of
the different curbs used was put at
$4,000 a mile for stone, $3.50 to $500
for concrete and $500 TO $3.50 for
brick. This ten foot road cost about
he same as the sixteen foot-SIl, $40

The United States office of public
roads in Washington sent out the fol-
lowing bulletin regarding the proper
manner of road drainage:
With an average OF $4,000 tons of
water falling in the form of rain on

requisite for all roads. Even in sand
roads this holds true, for there good

To obtain good drainage one must

the center of the road should be raised,

should be from 0ne-hulf to one inch

water will run freely to the side
litches and not flow down the road or
emain in puddles on the roadway.
The side bitches should be of ample
