ECONOMICAL
ROAD BUILDING
Department of Agriculture Cut
out of Grades-Even at Ex-
pense of Tillable Land.

The average life of horses and
automobiles may be increased
and the cost of hauling reduced,
according to the Office of Roads,
of the Department of Agriculture,
by relocating many old roads
and the more scientific laying out
of new ones. The natural ten
dency in road building is to build
straight road, whether it goes
over steep grades or hills, or not,
and pulling over these grades
naturally adds to the wear and
tear of horses and 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
highway around hill or grade,
but little appreciable distance is
added and this is more than offset
by the reduced strain of hailing.
The chief drawback from the
farm own er's point of view is that
the laying out of roads on this
principle of avoiding grades nee
essitates, in many cases, running
the road through good farm land
or orchards or pastures, instead
of going around the farm line and
building the road through old
WORKOUT fields and over rocky
KIN oils. This, of course, must
raise a question in the mind of
the individual land owner as to
whether the cutting up of his
property by road yields him
individual advantages and SO
benefits his community as to off
set the use of such land for a
road, or to overcome the incon-
venience of having his land divid-
ed. In this connection the Office
of Roads points out that the run
ming of road and the resulting
traffic through a good farm,
where there are good sheep, cat
tie, horses. grain, fruit, or vege-
tables, has a certain advertising
value and in many instances
makes the land more valuable.
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1913-11-26

In other cases, the Importance Of
such a level road to the commun-
ity is so great that it might wei
repay those using the road to give
the farmer the equivalent in land
equally good in place of what he
has sacrificed to the common
welfare.
At any rate the Office of Roads
is now taking special pains to
make clear the economic advan-
tage of avoiding steep grades in
their roads, even at some sacri-
fee of better land. Investigation
shows that the laying of such
roads over hills has resulted more
from attention to the preserva-
ton of farm lines than from
scientific attention to the prob
lem OF road building.
According to the testimony of
farmers consulted, where horse
might be able to pull 1000
pounds on level road, it would
have difficulty in pulling 1900
pounds on steep hill. The size
of the load, therefore, tends to
be measured by the grade OF the
largest hill on the road market.
In a number of cases actual ex-
pertinent shows that the relocat.
ing of roads around hills has been
accomplished, either with no ad-
dition in road length in some in
stances, and with the adding of
only few feet to the highway
in others. The Office knows of
no case where properly relocat-
ed road which has cut out grades
has led to any question as to its
material reduction of haulin g
costs.

Show us the way to see the good
That comes into our lives each day,
The blessings dimy understood
That gives us cheer along the way
Give us content with gold and gear
Though much or little we possess
Let us be glad for what is here
On this, our day of thanlfuness
But broaden, too, the soul and mind
SO that our thanks will not be found
BY customs rule and rote confined
Within this one days narrow bound,
Let us be glad for early rain
That bids the flowers wake and Creep
Let us be glad for snowy plain
That holds them in their winter Sleep
Give us the heart to understand
The graciousness of spreading trees,
Inc changing seasons wisely planned
The storm and sunshine all of these
For all the brightness of the dawn.
And cheerfulness of noon and night
And all that joy is builded on
Give us the grace to see Alright
Let us remember each kind word
BY weight of goody feeling best
Each gentle thing we've said or heard
And blot from memory the rest
Give us the grace to see and know
The benefits along the way
The many things that help us So
Let US be thankful every day.

1t Really Is Cape Mey.

Cape May received its name from its discoverer, d brave but cgotisti- cal old Dutch explorer and navi- gator, whose name was Jacob Cor nclius Mey. He came to America as the first director of Now Neither lands in 1893 and immediately be- gan to explore the Atlantic coast. During this voyage he applied to New York the name "Port Mcy," to the Delaware river 'New Port Mey," and named the capes at the south crn point of New Jersey "Capc Mey' and "Cape Cornelius.' The latter has since become "Cape Hen lopen." He named many other points on the Atlantic coast for himself and others connected with him in his exploration expeditions, but of all of them only one, Cape May, has survived, and that is changed in the spclling.-Ladies' Home Journal.
