Average Life of Horses
and Automobiles

The average lite OF horses and
automobiles may be increased aud
the cost of hauling reduced, accord
ing to the office OF roads, of the He |
partment of Agriculture, 10y relocat.
ing many old roads aud thu more
scientific LAYING out OF new ones
The natural tendency in road build
ing is to lay a straight road, whether
it goes over steep grades or hills
or not, and pulling over these grad
es naturally adds to the wear aud
tear on horses aud vehicles.
The doctrine of the office OF roads
is that the longest way around
may often be the shortest and most
economical way home, and that
frequently by building a high way a.
round hill or grade, but little APP
probable distance is added and this
is more than offset by the reduced
strain of hauling.
The chef drawback from the farm
owners point of view is that the
laying out of roads on this principle
of avoiding grades necessitates, in
some cases, running the road
through good farm land or orch.
ards or pastures, instead OF going
around the farm line and building
the road through old WORKOUT
fields and over rocky knobs. This,
of course. must raise a question Ia
the mind of the individual land
owners as to whether the cutting up
Of his property bv a road Yields
him individual advantages and so
benefits his community as to offset
the use of such land for a road, or
to overcome the Inconvenience of
having his land divided. In this
connection the Office OF Roads
points out that the running of a
road and the resulting ira tiic
through good farm, where there
are good sheep, cattle, horses, grain,
fruit, or vegetables, has certain
advertising value and in many in.
stance makes the land more valu-
able. In other cases, the import
ance of such a level road to the
community is so great that it might
well repay those using the road to
give the farmer the equivalent in
land equally good in place of what
he has sacrihc d to the common well
fare.
At any rate, the Office of Roads
is now taking special pains to make
clear the ecoonmic advantage of a
voiding steep grades in their roads,
even at some sacrifice of better
land. Investigation shows that
the laying of such roads over hills
has resulted more from attention to
the preservation of farm lines than
from scientific attention to the
problem of road building.
According to the testimony OF
farmers consulted, where a horse
might be able to pull 1000 pounds
on a level road, it would have diff
Guilty in pulling 5000 pounds up a
steep hill. The SIZE Of the load,
therefore, tends to be measured by
the grade OF the largest hill on the
road TO market. In a number OF
cases actual experiment shows that
the relocating OF roads around hills
has been accomplished, either with
no addition in road length in some
instances, and with the adding Of
only few feet to the highway il
others. The Office knows Of no case
where a properly relocated road
which has cut out grades has led to
any question as to its material re
duction OF hauling cost.
