COAL TAR IN ROAD MAKING
Roads as Dust Preventive Has
Been Demonstrated.

Revolution in road construction is
predicted by many highway engineers,
but many others believe the success
full macadam method modified will be
the only innovation. In that event
the tar macadam method will surely
be considered A properly tarred
road is similar to asphalt pavement,
but of more resilient character. The
stone is all bound together by the tar
into smooth, firm surface, which
can be swept and washed in much
the same manner as an asphalt pave.
ment
The main agencies which cause de.
terioration of tarred or oiled surfaces
are heavy rain, frost, and the decay
ing organic matter which accumulates
on the surface of the road. So far as
can be determined, one kind of road
withstands the action of these agen,
cies as we'll as the other Water gas

self. 1t has greater power of pene-
tration and less of it is required, but
it is not so lasting. 1t really is in a
class by itself and occupies an inter
mediate position between the tempo
rary and the permanent binders.
In some cases, where limited
amount of money is available or
where for climatic reasons it is avail,
able to treat the road with the idea
of its lasting only through one season,
water gas tar is expected to prove a
valuable dust layer, and any extension
of its use is thought to lie in this d.
rection. The value of coal tar in
the preservation Of macadam roads
and as dust preventive is proved by
the fact that in the majority of cases
the life of a treated road has been
materially heightened, and by apply
ing tar the complete rebuilding of
many roads at an enormous expense
has been avoided.
A great drawback in the standard
ization of tar treatment is the impos-
sibility of securing a uniform supply
of coal tar. Coal tar is purely by
product, and the processes by which
it is derived are never run with ref.
erence to the quality of tar produced
but solely to obtain maximum yields
of gas or coke.

Hardy Dairy Breeds,

An occasional farmer offers as an
excuse for not introducing into his
herd some Of the improved dairy blood
the reason that he does not want lot
of thin-skinned, weak animals that
cannot endure the cold and vigorous
climate. What folly. This lack of So
called hardness in the case of dairy
stock is matter of individuality
rather than breed. A fine mich COW
is not a Rocky mountain goat. The
great Lambert family Of Jerseys was
developed in the far north and is as
hardy as any dairy bred animal need
be. The dairy breeds are inclined to
hardness rather than weakness, any.

UNIVERSITY EVENTS

The Washington State College ten
mis- team met the University of Idaho
team Saturday in a tournament in
which Idaho was victorious, winning
three out OF four matches in singles
and the one in doubles.
The first Campus Day celebrated in
the hisotry of the University occur
red Monday in perfect weather. From
the cornet solos played by Professor
Carey from the great tower of the
Administration building, to the clos
ing song sung by the students gath
cred about the steps of the same
building, the program was a pleas
ing success.
Hon. Burton L. French, Idaho '01,
eX-congressman from the state, gave
an address to the students on the
campus which was followed by a pro-
cession and Maypole dance by the
girls of the university. Miss Mary
Belle Medium of Portland, elected
by the students, was queen of the
May.
Lunch was served to students and
faculty on the campus, the food be-
ing furnished by voluntary contribu-
lions of business firms of Moscow. A
concert by the Cadet Band and Uni
versity orchestra were musical feat
ures of the afternoon. Each class
in college then planted ivy with ap-
propriate ceremonies about the build
ings of the University. Frank Ste

chain, as a money-maker. The floor
may be used without either concrete
or wood, but man loses money every
day he does so. The concrete floor
may cost a little more at first, but it
is the cheapest in the end. The bot

there are two doors that run on tracks,

Narrow Country Roads.

Persons who are making a study Of
gooa roads claim that the highways
of the United States are much too
wide. In Germany the roads average
from 81 to 80 feet in width and carry
an enormous amount of traffic while
in our open country in the western
states where traffic is comparatively
light we make the roads SO TO 60 feet
wide out of land worth 500 per acre,
and allow three.fourths of the high
way to grow up in weeds.

Profit in Trees.

Farmers all over the country are
taking great interest in tree planting,
both for ornamentation and utility.
Every farm should have an acre or

and farm animals in summer and will
also grow into money fast as the

Demand for Dairy Butter.

There is always good local demand
for really good farm dairy butter.
There is a sentiment connected with
homemade butter which is not at

Knowing Each Cow.

No man can succeed in dairying un.
less he knows that each cow is paying
him a profit. A dairy COW that does
not more than pay for feed and care
is a robber that should not be allowed

Another good run of cattle
came in today, and following the
liberal supply of 1900 here yes
terday, the 10000 head that ar
rived today had to sell at a re
duction of to Is cents. Buy
ers are in a revengeful mood this
week, as the advance of 20 to 30
cents which they were forced to
give last week was directly
against the general trend of the
market on food products. The
loss of yesterday and today puts
prices back to about the low
time last week While the out
let for meat is not extra good,
the hooks of the packers were al
most bare at the end of last week
and the good runs this week are
welcome, but the fact that they
can get along with less makes
the buyers independent, and
statesmen have been forced to
come to terms as a rule. The
best feeders are about steady
this week, the break in fat cattle
going unnoticed by some of the
prospective feeders, who regard
the liberal run this week as due
to the advance of last week. and
figure that we will pay for it in
lighter runs later on. Several
droves of steers sold at So today,
and one lot brought $8.25 yester-
day, bulk of steers today at 1913
