GOOD GYPSUM ROAD.
Successful Experiments With the Min

Successful Experiments With the Min.
.erai Made by Kansas Experts.
W. S. Gearhart, state highway en-
gineer Of Kansas, who recently re-
turned from an inspection tour through
the southwestern part Of that state.
says the county commissioners in that
part of the state believe in perma-
nent roads and permanent bridges.
Mr.. Gearhart is we'll pleased with the
results Of the experiment in road build
ing through the sand hills near Garden
City.
"A little more than a year ago" he
said, "the commercial club and the
county commissioners. requested the
Office of public roads to send man
out to investigate possibilities of i'm
proving this road. Mr.. Spoon, the sand
clay expert, made them visit and
found that there were large deposits
of gypsum all along the road. Tests
were made on the gypsum. showing
that it would make good binder for
the sand The people decided to con-
struct TOO feet Of road under the d.
rection of Mr.. Spoon, and 1t was so
satisfactory that they have now fin
ished six miles Of road at a total cost
of $500. The 100 feet constructed
first is smoother now than the remain
der because the sand and gypsum were
thoroughly mixed by plowing. disking
and narrowing. The remainder was
constructed by placing six inches Of
gypsum on the sand for width Of
twelve feet and then few inches OF
sand were placed on top Of this and
left for the traffic to do the mixing.
'It requires about two years to get a
road in first class condition when con-
structed in this manner, but it is much
cheaper than the other construction.
Hot, dry weather is the worst enemy
of this type Of road. but despite the
| drought it is now in excellent condi-
ton and compares very favorably with
the best macadam roads. The surface
is hard and smooth and shows no signs
of wear.
"The only complaint any one has to
| make is that the road is so smooth that
| locks must be placed on the wagons so
that they can be safely taken down the
hills. Some still refuse to get a lock
and in going down drive with one
wheel out in the sand and the other on
| the hard road. One year ago the
sand on the road was so bad that peo-
pie living ten miles south of Garden
City. just beyond the hills, hauled their
grain forty miles south to railroad
station, while at present grain and
produce are being hauled twenty eight
miles north to Garden City.
"It is place to go to be shown If
one has any doubt in his mind about
| the possibility Of successfully con-
structing sand, gypsum or clay road"

BEAUTIFUL STRETCH OF MACADAMIZED
ROADWAY.
[From Good Roads Magazine, New York;
in diameter, each course or layer care
fully spread, uniform in depth and
rolled thoroughly with steam road
roller before the next course is placed.
By this process, the rolling being done
on thin layers. the stones become thor
Oughly compacted and the void spaces
or interstices between the stones are
largely eliminated. The final process
consists in spreading over the surface
of the upper layer of broken stone a
thin covering of the screenings which
result from the machine breaking Of
the stones and which contain a con-
siderable proportion of fine dust, then
flushing or grouting the screenings
into such voids as remain between the
broken stone and rolling the road with
the steam roller:
So far as the treatment of macadam
roads is concerned, the remedy seems
to be in the application of protective
coats or coverings of bituminous ma
ture.
Before any of the bituminous ma
terials are applied it is essential that
the road surface be evened up and
patched where necessary, rolled and
swept clean Of all dust. The btu
minous materials are then applied hot
to the road surface by means Of spray
ing machines or gravity distributors or
by hand in quantities varying from
one-quarter to three-quarters of a gal
Ion to the square yard and immediate
ly covered evenly with sand, fine grav-
ell or broken stone screenings.
The annual maintenance will be mere
ly the cost of renewing the covering.
probably from cents to cents per
square yard per annum. BY this meth
cd no wear whatever will take place
on the broken stone, and in a sense
that portion of the ordinary macadam
road which takes the wear will there
after be only foundation for the
bituminous wearing coat.
The protective coat referred to would
probably be inadequate for traffic, and
the introduction of bituminous binders
into the voids between the broken
stones would be necessary.
A good deal of work of this sort is
being done now in an experimental
way by mixing the bituminous mate
rial with the broken stone before It
is placed on the roadway or by grout-
ing the bituminous material into the
spaces between and around the broken
stone after it has been placed and par
tally rolled. .---.--. -

ROAD REPAIRER ENJOINED.

Physician Who Tried to Improve High
way Served With Injunction.
Widespread interest has been created
in good roads circles in the case of DR..
Donald McCaskey of Wilmer, Pa, who
has been restrained from making fur
ther improvements to the Wilmer road,
much travelled thoroughfare of East
Lampeter township.
The physician, after failing to get the
road supervisors of his local township
to fix a dangerous and unkept half
mile of yellow clay roadway, in des-
peration and at his own expense be-
gan to make repairs to the road him
self. The doctor built King road drags
and hired horses from farmers through
out the community who would rent
them, and, not being able to induce
anybody to repair the road for him,
the physician drove the team and rode
the drag himself. Occasionally small
boy was taken along to stand on the
drag for ballast.
After fifteen hours of strenuous la
Dor distributed over a period of six
to eight weeks after each rain the neg
lected byroad was transformed into a
substantial highway. All that was
used was the simple wooden instru-
ment termed the split log drag, which
can be made by any farmer out of a
log or few boards.
The physicians efforts worked such
transformation in the minds of the
incredulous inhabitants of his COM
| munity that the road drag met with
popular favor, and the road officials
began to be critically censured for
their alleged indisposition to fulfill the
duties of their official office.
They promptly secured an injunction
restraining the physician from doing
any more work of the kind, alleging
that he had done this work "to the
injury of the road at times and to the
| Inconvenience of the travelling public"
! The case is still before the courts.

An Improvised Stove That Cooks Food
Easily and Well.

Easily and Well.
"The simplest way to cook in the
open air is over fireplace made by
and two feet square and partly filling
it with stones. Around three sides Of
this build a wall six or eight inches
high, and on the top place a large
fiat stone, leaving a small opening at
the back for the smoke to escape"
says Harper's Bazar. "For frying fish,
meat or mush and for baking biscuit,
pancakes, ETC., this fiat stone is prac-
tically as good as the top of a camp
stove.
"Beans may easily be baked in this
fireplace by first removing the stone
from the top. then after a good fire
has burned for three hours it is allow
ed to burn down, the ashes and en-
bers are cleared away and the camp
kettle Of beans is sunk into the cavity
among the hot stones. A stone is then
placed over it, and this is covered
with the hot ashes and embers. At
the end Of twelve hours the result
will be a kettle Of delicious Boston
baked beans.
Large fish are delicious when cook
ed in the following manner: First split
the fish open, clean and carefully
wash out the interior and season well
with salt and pepper. Build 4 hot fire.
and when it has burned down lay the
fish in the hot ashes and embers, al
lowing it to remain for thirty minutes
or longer according to the size of the
fish. When done remove from the
ashes, brush clean with a cloth and
peel off the burned outside. The flesh
underneath will be found thoroughly
cooked. with all the delicate favors
and juices Of the fish fully retained.
"Small fish are best prepared by first
rolling them in Indian meal, seasoned
with salt and pepper, and frying them
in the frying pan with small piece
Of salt pork"

THE new MACADAM,
How Road Builders Have Improv-
ed on Scotchnan's Idea.
IDEAL HIGHWAY NECESSITIES

Careful Grading, Good Drainage, Sub
stantial Foundation and a Wearing
, Surface Necessary For the Up to
Date Macadamized Road.
In recent speech on the construc-
tion and maintenance of macadam
roads Austin B. Fletcher, secretary of
the Massachusetts highway commits
sion, said:
Macadam's road is thing Of the
past. In fact. the road of the kind
built by the Scotchman John Loudon
Macadam and naned in his nonor has
been obsolete in this country for some
time.
Macadam knew nothing of machine
broken stone, and he did not dream
that broken stone roadway could be
made as smooth as billiard table by
the use of steam road rollers.
In these days when we speak Of a
macadam road we mean road with
the following characteristics:
A road with easy gradients, usually
not exceeding five foot rise in 100
feet of length.
A road with drainage appliances so
perfect that substantially no water
reaches the broken stone from below.
A road with foundation consisting
of either the natural soil, if suitable,
otherwise of artificially placed gravel
or unbroken stone, so that the foun-
dation with the superimposed broken
stone will have sufficient strength to
distribute over the underlying soil any
load to which the road is likely to be
subjected.
A road with a wearing surface of
two or more layers Of broken stone.
small in size, those at the bottom
usually not more than two and one
half inches in diameter and those at
