PREVENT STEEP ROAD CUTS
Difficulty Usually Experienced In
Mountains or HilIy Country 10 In
Repairing Washouts.

In a mountainous or hilly country
where the roads must be built with
considerable grade, one difficulty
which is usually experienced In their
maintenance is In repairing washouts.
When a heavy shower falls upon
the road and adjoining country, water
will find its way to the depressions
worn by the wheels. 1t flows down
these depressons, gaining volume and
velocity as it goes until the road sur
face Is eroded ard deep ruts often
formed. The road which was good in
the beginning is now rough and rutty
and unpleasant and even dangerous to
travel over.
One of the very best methods for
preventing this cutting writes f. Is.
House of the Colorado Agricultural
College is to build across the road at
intervals of two or three hundred feet,
bitches running entirely across the
road These bitches should be about
one foot deep and perhaps three feet
wide. They should be so located that
they will discharge their water at
some distance from the road and in
such places that the water will con-
tinue on down The hill from the road.
In order that the road may be
smooth, plank bridges are placed
across these bitches. These are very
simple affairs, AKA answering the pur-
pose for the stringers and 2x6s or 2x4s
doing very well for the flooring These
planks should be placed so that cracks
one and one-half to two inches wide
are left between each plank, These
cracks then running across the road
allow the water coming down the road
to go through them, into the ditch and
pass away. In this way the volume
of water flowing over the road surface
is kept down and cutting prevented.

MAINTENANCE IS ESSENTIAL
Road Repairing as Important as Build
ing, According to Official of 40
ricultural Department.

Logan w. Page. chief Of the office OF
public roads, of the department of az
riculture, is bending every energy to
impress upon the people Of the coun-
try that maintenance and effective re.
pair are of equal Importance with the
actual improvement of bad roads. In
yestment Of money in new roads does
not become real economy until provi-
sion is made for keeping those new
roads in condition after they are
built. II new road was built and then
allowed to fall into disrepair, much of
the original investment Is simply
wasted
Quite frequently the office of public
roads, when called upon for assistance
by the various states. points out that
road building is an art based on
science. and that trained men and ex
perienced men are necessary to secure
the best results from the expenditure
of road funds.
Statisticans have figured out that al
though the average expenditure on the
Improvement OF roads exceeds $1,000
600 a day, large portion of 1t Is
wasted because of the failure to build
the right type of road to meet local
requirements or the failure to provide
for the continued maintenance of the
Improvement

CARING FOR DWARF APPLES
New York Experiment Station Has
-Four Orchards In Different
Parts Of the Empire State.

The New York experiment station
has four dwarf apple orchards in diff
ferent parts of the state, three of
which were planted to test the claims
made for dwarf apples. These are
that dwarf trees come In bearing
earlier than standards; that orchard
operations are more easily performed,
and that the fruit is Of higher color
and better quality from dwarf trees.
The three orchards have been planted
five years. giving ample opportunity
to find out whether these advantages
are real in New York The dwarfs
do come in bearing somewhat earlier
than the standards, but the difference
is not appreciable from a financial
standpoint Instead of the cost of
care being less for the dwarfs, 1t has
been found to be considerably more
IN al of the orchards, ard the most
OF dwarf trees is greater. There is
no difference In color, size or flavor
between the trees on dwarf and stand

ROAD :
BUILDING
OIL APPLIED TO DIRT ROADS
Much Used In Illinois az Preventive OF
Mud as Well as Dust-Severai
Good Methods.
(By T. M. CISEL.)

Many roads in the oil fields OF I'LL.
nois have been treated with oil which
is a preventive Of mud as well as dust.
Roads that were put In shape and
we'll sprinkled with oil last fall stood
the winter travel which is always
heavy in the oil fields, and came out
in the spring with very little needed
repairs.
In applying oil to our common dirt
roads several methods are employed.
Sometimes where the road Is in good
shape the oil is sprinkled on without
any further preparations. This is suf-
ficient for summer roads and for hold
Ing down the dust, but a better meth
cd should be employed where good
winter roads are expected.
First the road should be we'll work
ed with the road machine, then apply
the oil with sprinkler, putting on
enough to well dampen the fresh
worked dirt, then disk or harrow
should be used to mix the oil well
with the clay; after sprinkling again,
the roller is used 10 smooth down and
pack the roads.
After this the road should be sprin-
kled once a month in winter to keep
1t from taking water,
All ruts must be filled with dirt as
soon as they commence to form. Also
wet down this filling with OIL
After two years Of this treatment
roads become solid and show but lit

oiled roads are dustless,
Sand roads are treated the same
way but require more oil to put them

Is required for APPLYING 1t to the roads,

TWELVE HOUSES TO THE ACRE

On Monday, June 9, the first town

town-planning act Of 1909 became OPP

pass through various stages Of ap-

The plan thus approved concerns
1920 acres In the suburbs OF Birm-
ingham, upon which, according to the
law as established by these various
authorities, not over IL houses to the
acre may be erected. This measns
that, at about five persons to the
house, this suburb, laid out on the
best OF lines, with open space In
abundance. will accommodate about
100000 persons,
In most American cities two-story
houses are erected about 40 to the
acre, and the average number OF In
dividuals is Ave and two-tenths.
This would mean a crowded popula-
ton OF 482,560 on the area OF 1920
acres.

Japanese Burberry or California Privet
v. Ill Soon Make Compact and
Ornamental Hedge.
(By w. H. GRINsTEAD.)


1t takes a number of years to get
shade trees large enough to add to the
beauty OF a yard or lawn, bat this is
not the case with orna .hental hedge.
Japanese barberry or California
privet will soon make compact
hedge and there is nothing which will
add more to the bare landscape. In
this latitude the fall of the year has
been found very satisfactory time
to set hedges, though equal results
may be had from spring planting.
There is one very important thing
that should be looked after when the
plants are set, and that is the pruning
The ground should be prepared by
blowing and manuring heavily with
well rotted manure, a strip two feet
wide, then set the plants SIX inches
apart in this row, If it is to be a single
row hedge,
II 1t is to be double row hedge.
set the plants eight inches apart in
rows the same width SO that the
plants will miss or zigzag. This will
make a more compact hedge than the
single row.
In setting, never leave the whole
shrub but cut back to not more than
three inches above the ground. This
will cause 1t to branch at the ground
and form compact growth which can
be pruned into. shape the following
winter and shortened up during the
growing season SO as to make pyra-
midal shape.
When a shoot Is noticed running UP
too high it should be pinched OF,
which will make 1t throw out branches
at the bottom near the ground.
These hedges, when properly cared
for after being put out right, will turn
dog or cat so compact and dense
will be the growth. This plan of
treatment Is more especially for the
