CREAMERY FOR MANDAN

CREAMERY FOX MANOAN
A very enthusiastic dairy meeting
was held at the Mandan commercial
club rooms Saturday afternoon, to dis
cuss the creamery question that is be-
ing very thoroughly discussed, which
will be erected within few weeks.
There were about fifty very enthus-
iastic farmers present and took a
great interest in the meeting.
The chairman of the meeting called
the meeting to order and introduced
Secretary Flint of the dairy commits
sion at Bismarck who gave those in
attendance some very good advice,
dealing principally upon the theory Of
getting one breed of milk cows and
as that was a very essential part of
dairy farming consequently having a
great bearing on the maintenance of a
creamery.
After the secretary gave a very
instructive talk, Father Clemens lec-
tured a few minutes upon the nee
essity of a good creamery in Mandan,
and brought forth the idea of the
development feature of the county it
would insure, as it would require con-
sistent and careful effort.
John Christianson then was given
the floor and gave an outline of his
experience of dairy farming, going
over his past carer as dairy farmer
showing how he had received and
turned in monthly cash payments to
the amount Of $4,000 received alone
from the creamery since 1895. Mr..
Christensen brought forth many USE
full suggestions to the attendants and
will no doubt prove very beneficial to
the farmer.
The farmers signed up for 1876
COWS to be used for dairy use only.
A committee of three was appointed
by the chairman, consisting of Sam
w. Unkleholtz, A. w. Massey, and
Chas. Shause. to investigate the fin,
ancing of the creamery.
The convention then adjourned and
decided to hold their next meeting
at the commercial club rooms next
Saturday.

TN March, 1893. a petition was pre-
scented to congress asking that a
road department similar to the
agricultural department be found
ed at Washington for the purpose of
promoting construction and mainte-
nance Of roads and for teaching stu.
dents so that they might become skilled
road engineers and to establish a per-
manent exhibit of sections Of road il.
Illustrating various methods of construc-
zion and the best road materials and
machinery. This petition was signed
by the governors of many of the states.
including Governor Mckinley Of Ohio.
by chambers of commerce and univer-
stiles and was Endorsed by resolutions
of legislatures.
The Office Of road inquiry was estab-
lished under authority Of an act Of

UNITED STATES OFFICE OF PUBLIC ROADS.
congress approved March 3, 1893, max
ing appropriation Of $4,000 for the de-
partment Of agriculture. The clause
relating to this work provided that the
secretary Of agriculture should make
inquiries in regard to systems of road
management throughout the United
States, make investigations in regard
to the best methods Of road making,
prepare publications on this subject
and assist agricultural colleges and eX-
pertinent stations in disseminating in
formation.
Since 1893 the total amount appro-
priated for the office of public roads is
$SG4SGO. and since its establishment
the office has issued 40 bulletins. 05
circulars, 8 farmers bulletins, 81 year
book reprints and Is annual reports. a
total of 1873 publications.
The Office has directed the construc.
ton Of about BAG object lessons and
experimental roads. illustrating macad-
am. bituminous macadam. brick, gray
el. sand-clay. shell and earth construc-
ton. The approximate expenditure on
these object lessons and experimental
roads by local authorities has been
$6OO, 762. and acknowledgement road work
due directly to the object lesson roads
represents expenditures running well
up into millions. Lectures and person
al advice by engineers and experts ha We
constituted a prominent feature Of the
work Of the Office since its establish
ment. The road material laboratory
was installed in December, 1900. and
from that time to July l, 1911, about
$3.50 samples of road material have
been received from practically every
state in the Union and tested to deter
mine their character and value for road
building.
A Photographic laboratory was in
stalled in January. 1909, and has now
Z complete outfit. This was the direct
result of a great need for illustrated
lectures. The Office has now a collec-
ton of about 6.OOO negatives and about
1900 slides. many Of which have been
colored. These illustrate all phases Of
road work.
Experiments have been conducted
with oils. tars. rock asphalt and vari-
GUS preparations for the purpose Of
preventing dust and preserving mac
adam roads from destruction under
modern traffic conditions. The Office
has conducted Investigations to deter
mine the feasibility of the sand clay
method Of road building in the south
ern states as well as in the prairie
states, and this method Of construction
has been found to he quite practicable.
especially In the south.
A study Of the construction of roads.
Of natural soils by treatment with as
phaltic oils. has been made and was
published in circular No. 60 The Office
is conducting investigations on the use
Of Stag as road material and the
improvement of sand roads in parts of
the country where clay is not accessi-
bic. Practical efforts have been made
toward bringing about the more gener-
al use Of the split log drag in the main
tenance of earth roads. :.

BROTHER DIED

Washburn Leader: Joseph and Rob
ert Mann received word from the
American consul in Mexico that their
brother, Thomas, had died Of apoplexy
about the middle Of February. A very
vague account was given of his death
and If Joseph Mann had been notified
earlier he would have gone down
there. Thomas Mann was about so
years old and single. He had not writ
ten to his brothers for number of
years and they were uncertain as to
where he was located.

road building devices, such as rollers
and crushers. in actual operation.
This exhibit was designed and prepar-
ed by the Office, and since the exposi-
ton closed similar exhibits have been
shown in many parts of the United
States, partly through the medium of
expositions and partly by means Of ex-
hibit trains operated by several rail-
roads. Lecturers and demonstrators
accompany these exhibits. making them
in reality schools Of instruction in road
building.
Graduates in engineering are ap-
pointed from colleges each year after
a competitive examination, and are
given thorough training while render
ing practical services to the govern
ment In this way an efficient corps of
engineers is being built up, which will
aid the development Of road building
along proper lines, both during and
after their connection with the gov
ernment This work was begun in the
fiscal year 1905.
Investigations into the decomposition
Of rock powders under the action Of
water have led to important discover
les with reference to increasing the &C.
menting value of road materials. The
Investigation into the corrosion of iron
and steel culverts has brought out i'm
portant results. The generally accept
ed theories regarding the rusting of
iron have been demonstrated to be in
correct, and It has been shown that
by treating the surface of the iron
with strong oxidizing agent the rust
ing can be inhibited.
In May, 1907, the Office inaugurated
project designed to introduce the
best possible systems of construction,
maintenance and administration of
roads In the various counties. Under
this plan engineers are assigned to
make thorough investigation on all
phases Of the road work Of the county
to which they are assigned, and pre-
pare exhaustive reports giving plans,
SOuAA0ICo ouO NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
The number Of the employees Of the
Office has increased from one ON July
I, 1893, to 1877 on July 1, 1911. The
present appropriation Of the office is
$780, 100, out Of which $500 is paid
for rent, leaving $157.220 to pay the
salaries of these 157 employees. as we'll
as travelling expenses, the purchase of
equipment and supplies. and the usual
running expenses.
The most thorough and systematic
methods Of organization have been in.
troduccd into the administration Of the
office, and the great library on all
phases Of road work is the best in the
western hemisphere, and the library is
being added to constantly.
The policy Of the Office in recent
years has been to cooperate with the
officials in charge of road work in the
various states as closely as possible,
and the endeavor is being made so to
cOrrelate road work in each state by
voluntary cooperation as to constitute
one great movement along uniform
lines and make the progress and meth
DDS of each state known to every other
state through the medium of the Office.
In furtherance of this object a compre-
hensive investigation was begun in

This year a couple. probably the

windows having been closed and the
