A Good Point.

George w. Marshall. civil engi-
neer of Fond du Lac, Wis, in an ad-
dress before the Joint legislative com
mittee on Public Roads, recently,
brought out the point that the drain
age of roads should go hand in hand
with the drainage of farms whenever
conditions made it possible. He called
attention to the fact that while road
drains often furnished farms with out
lets. farm outlets were often available
for road drainage. By the road au-
thorities and the farmers working to-
gether, Mr.. Marshall considers that
much money can be saved.

Plants and Fishes.

The aquatic plants OF pond have
an important influence upon the
fishes in the water The investlga-
tions OF II. II. Pearl, the American
botanist. prove that most rooted wa
ter plants extract mineral food from
the ground, and such vegetation as
the pondweed (Potamogeton) aids
nshes by adding mineral substances
to the water. On the other hand, the
hornwort (Ceratophyllum) units a
lake for fsh life, as 1t takes its own
food from the salts in the water.

The Best Argument,

There is no question but that the
best argument for good roads is-a
good road. The practical experience
of driving. or hauling a load, over a
well-graded improved highway, in
good condition at all seasons of the
year, is worth hundred reasons for
road improvement. So, while the ex-
pert roadmakers cannot give US roads
without money, it is fair to say that
their work in showing us how roads
should be properly constructed is one
Of the most effective methods of in
ducing the taxpayers to make in
creased appropriations for better
roads.

TAMPING ROLLER.
n Is Most Efficient Machine for
Compactinq Stone Roads.

The tamping roller is a most eff
Client machine for compacting earth
or stone roads or foundation for all
kinds of pavements. The tamping
roller is designed to consolidate a
foundation to a greater depth. tensity
and uniformity than is possible with
a smooth or even grooved roller.
Smooth, grooved. or corrugated rol-
lers compact only a very thin layer
of the surface. Since the pressure
exerted by a roller decreases as the
cube of the depth. the pressure ex-
erted by any roller extends but an in
significant distance down. The tamp-
ing roller overcomes this difficulty by
solidifying the mass from the bottom
up. To compact n sub grade. it is
first plowed, then pulvcrized with a
spike harrow, after which the tamper
Is set in motion and Immediately and
continuously followed by a cultivator
N order that the tamper may sink to
the hilt and that the top surface may
be prevented from solidifying while
the bottom strata are being soldly
tamped.
When a bottom stratum is soidi-
Ged. the tamper may be allowed to
ride higher. This is effected by set
ting the cultivator to a shallower
depth. Finally the tamper may be al
owed to ride upon the surface and the
test of sufficient consolidation is that
Me blow struck by the falling of the
kamper feet shall produce no quaking
of the surface stratum. The tamper,
unlike any other form of roller. pro-
duces it's own test of effectiveness and
produces a thickly compacted layer
uniform in density, both laterally and
vertically.

will be vastly enhanced, the Portland

bration.
The cutoff is 6215 miles long. On
