CHECKING NOXlOUS WEEDS.
Line Of Road Improvement That
Should Not &c Overlooked.

1t Is encouraging to see the attention
! that is being paid to good roads all
through the United States. Various
state organizations are taking the mat
ter up. national conventions are being
held, and an international meeting was
recently called to convene in France
Everything points toward better high
ways. better facilities for marketing
crops and better conditions for the
farmer.
A good road brings one nearer to his
neighbors. nearer to his church and
school and nearer to his market The
time will soon come when one will
speak of a farm as being ten minutes
distant from town rather than two
miles. The popularity which the auto
mobile is rapidly acquiring among
farmers will promote this good roads
movement
There Is n splendid opportunity for
the individual to help the good work
along by taking care of the roads in
front Of his own farm. There is 70
surer method than to take pride in the
road that goes past your door
There is one line OF road improve
ment-the holding In check of noxious
weeds-that is frequently overlooked.
Every roadway can be kept free from
these with comparatively little labor
II the matter Is taken up promptly.
Each weed that natures bears more
prolific crop Of seed than Its prede-
cessor. If the fence corners and the
roadside are kept free 1t will be an
easy matter to exterminate the unde-
sirable weed pests which are coming
to be a decided problem. II you can
not drag your road. you can at least
have regard for your adjacent field to
keep the weeds from growing along
the roadside.

Oil or Country Roads.

A most interesting experiment Is be-
Ing conducted in central Illinois near
Springfield. The state highway COM
mission is making a test Of oil on
country roads. While oil roads are no
novelty in many parts Of the United
States. they are not known on the
heavy black soil of central Illinois.
The top soil of the road is being mixed
with an asphalt oil to the depth of six
inches. In many parts Of the Sucker
State stone roads are out of the ques-
ton. Without the material near at
hand the great prairie states cannot
expect to have stone pixies. as do some
Of the eastern states Good roads must
be secured by drainage. special care
and possibly by the use Of oil. This
experiment will be watched with a
great deal Of interest.

FLORIDA SAWDUST ROADS.
Southern Expert Finds It Cheaper and
Best Material to Use.

Best Material to Use.
They are making roads Of sawdust
mixed with earth on 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 $297 mile. showing It to be
about the cheapest road material in
use.
1t 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 a south
Georgia county twenty years ago and
are still in good condition, showing its
durability. AS Is we'll known, Leon
county soil is clayey.

How to Make a Divan Comforts = G.

Every one does not know that a
wide divan Is made more comfortable
by having ut its back two huge hard
pillows that will support the softer
ones. 1t Is usual to heap up great
variety of these extra soft ones on a
large divan so that any one sitting or
reclining may arrange them according
to ones comfort. These are needed. 1t
Is true. but they also need support.
The wall Is usually too far back from
the front edge Of the divan to serve.
The two large pillows made Of the ma
terial which covers the divan are not
only comfortable. but artistic. They
may be stuffed with excelsior into
coarse muslin or ticking. then covered
with the chosen fabdic. They look
better with a heavy cord around the
edsing. II the end of the divan Is
against the wall as well as it's side a
third pillow may be used to give an
added framework to the little pillows.
This Is not an expensive trick, but II a
housewife ever tries it she will never
let the divan 60 without this part Of
its equipment.

MAINTENANCE OF HIGHWAYS.
Features Of the Patrol System to Keep
Roads In Good Condition,

The new state highway commission
has announced that 1t 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 q
force Of some $50 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 $50 year per mile of road
to be repaired It 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 bureau of re-
search for the purpose Of investigat-
ing the various methods Of construc-
ton in vogue in neighboring states
and for conducting experiments with
view to ascertaining the best form
Of construction which will be adapted
to the present conditions. having In
mind especially the great damage
caused by automobile traffic.

Result Of Bad Roads.

There Is another matter that makes
bad roads factor of loss. That is in
the sale Of the farm. A farm ten
miles out on road impossible for We
months in the year has fve-twelfths
Of its usefulness impaired and is GER
tanly worth 33 1-3 per cent intrinsic
ally less than it should be were the
roads not so bad. Bad roads are de-

additional value away from farm land
due to increasing population. They
act as repellant force to drive the
boys and girls and desirable citizens
from form 1ifo

LAYING BRICK ON A SIXTEEN FOOT ROAD

ington county. for example, brick roads
are being built at II cost Of only $1,000
to $1,000 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-
tinues increasingly expensive, while
the properly constructed brick road
will under ordinary conditions need
no repairs for an indefinite period
One Of Washington county's farmers
observed. THE first cost Of 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
lance Of half mile along the Ohio
river where the road Is flooded two
or three times year and where 1t was
conceded that no other kind Of a road
would stay put" for a single season
The brick road stayed. and every farm
road IS clamoring 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
twenty-four foot roadway. Here the
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
$1l. 800 a mile. and 1t was built under
state aid law.
On the west side of the Muskingum
river on the ridge above Marietta, they
were building 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 a levy proves how generally pub
lie sentiment approves this kind OF
road building. This road has broken
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 it's 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 $1,SOO for
brick. This ten foot road cost about
the same as the sixteen foot-S1 $40
for 5000 feet--owing to the fact that
it was laid out among the hills. where
the grading was heavier. the hauls
longer and harder and cracked stone
in place of gravel
The ten foot roadway REINFORCED with
eight feet of stone and earth BERN
seems wide enough for ordinary coun-
try roads and met the approval Of most
farmers | interviewed. There was a
pretty general sentiment, however, in
favor of sixteen foot roadways on the
main travelled roads and approaches to
the city.-Homer W. Jackson IN Ma
tional Stockman and Es-~~o~

BRICK ROAD BUILDING
Methods Of Construction Adopted

MACADAM is TOO EXPENSIVE.
Homer w. Jackson Tells Why Prop

Feet Wide Enough For Country Use

Washington county. o.. has pretty
definitely committed itself to policy
of brick road building. The county
officials and the different city and
country organizations are unit on the
subject. Some work has already been
done, and comprehensive road build
ing campaign only waits on little
more definite knowledge as to what
scheme Of road building will best suit
local conditions.
The unanimity of opinion as to the
desirabillty Of brick roads is surpris
ing. attended monthly meeting Of
the Valley Farmers club, social or
ganization which unites the farmers Of
the Ohio valley in Washington county.
where the subject Of an afternoon de-
bate was, Shall Washington county
issue bonds for 100000 to build brick
roads? This club has membership
Of about 200, and probably 1875 were
present at the debate. but If there was
a man among them who did not favor
brick roads he did not say SO either in
public or private. The member who
took the negative side Of the ques-
tion in the debate commended that with
their present knowledge Of brick road
material and construction they were
not yet ready to expend large sums
AS the facts become known about
the relative cost Of stone and brick
roads and the enormous cost Of main
tanning the former brick roads are
rapidly growing In popularity. While
1t is true that brick roads cost more
than stone. the difference Is not as
great as Is generally thought. In Wash.
