TAFT FAV0RS STATE ROADS.
Chief Executive Thinks tho Highway
Question Not a National Matter.

National aid for permanent roads, a
system Of national highways connect
ing the capital of the various states
and Of state highways connecting the
various county seats, use Of federal
prisoners for building roads and the
establishment Of roadmaking on a
strictly business basis are some of the
suggestions made at the good roads
convention.
A letter from President Taft de-
clared against national aid to any
great extent The president says:
my own view of the good roads
question is that it is chiefly a state
function and that all the states ought
to unite in an effort to promote good
roads. do not think that the farmers
are as much interested in the matter
as they ought to be-
Next to education. the system of
good roads is the greatest civilizer."

KENTUCKY ROCK ASPHALT.
An Ideal Highway Built Of II In De-
troit, Mich.


A highway Of which a Detroit publ.
cation speaks in terms of high praise
is the road leading to the approach to
the Belle Isle bridge. 1t is surfaced
with Kentucky rock asphalt under
specifications, from which the follow.
ing facts are taken:
The subgrade was excavate' and
brought to an even surface eight and
one-half inches below and parallel
with the proposed surface Of the road
way and compacted by rolling with a
ten ton roller. Upon this crushed
limestone two to four inches in size
was placed and rolled to three inches
in thickness. A second course Of
similar sized stone filled with lime
stone screenings and sand was also
rolled to three inches, making the
foundation courses six inches in thick
ness.
On this foundation was evenly spread
q two and one-half inch course of
crushed limestone one and one-half to
two and one-half inches in size, which
was given one rolling. The asphalt
was then spread, being taken to the
road on wheelbarrows, dumped and
raked to a uniform depth Of about
three-quarters Of an inch in loose
state, this being equivalent to about

UNCLE SAM AS ROAD BUILDER
Government Constructing Great High
ways In Newly Developed Country.

ways In Newly Developed Country.
Experts of many countries are mar.
yelling at the great roads which the
United States government has con.
structed and is now constructing on
the reclamation projects in the far
western states and territories.
More than GOO miles of the most ex.
cellent highways that 1t is possible
for man to produce have been com.
pleted and are in daily use.
These, of course, do not include the
byroads leading to many farms or the
many other roads being used for the
time being until the macadamized kind
can be built.
The dry farmers have had good
horses and vehicles since the reclama-
ton work began seven years ago, and
these good roads are enabling them
to haul their products to the towns
and railroad stations and to send their
children to school. They regard them
as the most important of all aids to
progress and prosperity.
Many of these pioneers own automo
biles, and 1t is no unusual sight to see
on Saturdays or Sundays a dozen or
more motorcars of the latest designs
in any Of the towns of the older prof.
ects. 1t is interesting to note that I'm

oped country and that in a very few

Tip on Road Maintenance.

Foreign countries are years ahead
OF the United States in road building
and road maintenance. They keep
men constantly on the roads looking
for signs of decay. AS soon as a road
begins to unravel the spot is repaired.
1t must be cheaper and better to re-
pair the first indications of deteriora-
ton and always have the roads in
good shape than to wait until a road
is impossible or full Of ruts and gull
lies and then build a new one.

TAKING HORSES PULSE.
Artery May Be Found by Placing Hand
at Underside of Jaw.

at Underside Of Jaw.
The pulse is due to an automatic
expansion and relaxation in the wall
of an elastic tube-the artery-caused
by the jets of blood pumped into those
vessels by means of a force pump-thc
heart.
Each stroke of the heart is equal to
one pulsation-viz, a rising and fall
ing of the arterial wall. In health the
average number of pulse beats per
minute is about thirty-six to forty.
The larger the horse the slower or
fewer the number of beats per minute
According to an expert breeder. a
very good place to take the pulse is at
the underside of the jaw. By rolling
the tips Of the fingers about a little
they can be brought on to the blood
vessel.
Don't press too firmly nor yet too
lightly. The animal must be kept
still and quiet In point of importance
the character" of the pulse must be
the best guide. That is to say. the
blood vessel may impress us as feeling
hard, soft, full, quick. small. wiry,
regular or irregular.
These are niceties which require
practice before they can be fully APP
preciated. In disease - pleurisy - the
pulse will be found beating about
eighty times per minute depending
upon the stage of the diseased, hard,
wiry and irregular.
In pulmonary apoplexy it may DE
beating 100 times per minute.
When properly taken it forms a val
liable means of assistance in ascer-
tanning the nature and progress of dis
ease.

asphalt was applied, rolled twice, left
to stand until the next day, then rolled
again. The same plan was followed
during the two succeeding days, the
road being closed to traffic and one
rolling each day being given. The
road was then opened to traffic.
