sAND-CLAY ROADS AND 1ttE II ;7i'
TO WORK THEM

There are at present about $500 miles
Of sand clay roads in the United States
mainly In the Southern state ccor6-
ne TO the office Of public roads. United
States department Of ayr. il-.r. T.
time 70 work the roads IS in tn. sp.nr
when the soil is damp. II the working o.
the roads is deferred until late in sum-
mer when they are dry they are not
only much more difficult 10 put i'm proper
shape. but the cost Of repair IS greater
than If they were worked early in the
spring.
Previous to 1894 comparatively little.
If any, OF these roads existed. The popu-
larity OF this type of road is due to ;re
facts that It Is cheap. comraratively sgn
and durable, easy to construct and ~o-
pair. and that the mater Is out Of which
It is built are plentiful In many sections
# the country.
The sand-clay road IS made by mix
Ing the sand and clay in such way that
the grains OF sand touch each other. the
spaces between the grains being filed
with clay which acts as a binder
The approximate mixture Of sand ana

sci with a sample of the sand to be used.
md another vessel Of the same size with
water The water Is poured carefully in-
TO the sand until It reaches the point RI
overlooking. The volume OF water re-
moved from the second vessel represents
approximately the proportion OF clay
needed.
The proper proportion Of sand and clay
can best be determined however. as the
work progresses. as some clay will con-
tain more sand than others In fact
clays are very frequently found VIII n
already contain about the right proper
ton Of sand.
II the road to be treated is sandy tho
surface is first leveled off and crowned
with a road machine, the crown being

ed with the clay either by traffic or ID,
means OF plows and disk or tooth har-

The best results have been obtained
by thoroughly mixing or pudding the
materials when wet For this ro1s0n e.
is desirable that the mixing be dome in
