Dust prevention and road preserva-

modern road construction. Therefore

partment of agriculture on methods

Of public roads, and issued as No. 38
Of that series, which contains com
plete descriptions of the methods of
examination for that class of materi-
ais, as employed at present by that Of
fee, should materially further the
adoption of standard methods, a mat
ter which is of the utmost importance
at this time.
These methods are presented in
such form that any intelligent per-
son may, with little practice and the
proper equipment. make such exami-
nation With this object in view, the
bulletin describes the various tests
in greater detail than would have been
necessary for the use Of chemists. and
cally all the apparatus required. Also
a list of the necessary equipment for
a small laboratory about to engage in
the routine testing and inspection of
bitumens is given. The maximum
cost, exclusive of platinum ware. solv.
ents and chemicals, would not exceed
$500, and probably could be purchased
cheaper by securing bids on the entire
equipment from several drug supply
houses. For the extraction of bitumi-
nous aggregates. the recovery of the
bitumen and examination of the aggre-
gates, an additional outlay of $125
would be necessary, but this expense
seems to be entirely within the means
of most road commissioners charged
with the construction and mainte-
nance of public roads.
II is to be regretted that no stand
ard methods for examining bituminous
road materials have been generally
adopted, as the necessity for such
standards has become imperative. The
office of public roads has given consid.
cradle attention to this matter, both
with respect to investigations conduct
ed In its laboratories and through co.
operation with certain technical soci
cites interested in the testing materi-
ais. While it is realized that the
scheme of examination presented is
by no means perfect, and may in the
future be improved, It has neverthe-
less been of great service in classify.

To Cut Corn for SiIo,

To make the best ensilage and also
to have it contain the largest amount
of digestible nutrients, corn should be
fully matured; not dead ripe, but
glazed and dented. 1t will be impos
sibe to get every plant just at the
right stage of development, some will
be too ripe and some too green, but
you must figure on the bulk of the
crop. If the corn Is not mature leave
it as long as possible. Have every
thing ready and leave the crop till
frost. A light frost will not hurt II
very much but will help to ripen it up
You can wait until quite a severe frost
if you cut Immediately the very next
day, and lose but little, if any, of the
food value.
