MATERIALS IN MODERN ROAD
Hummelstown Pike, Considered a
Model by Experts, Built by Tel
ford-M Macadam Method.

The Hummelstown Pike. near Har
risburg, Pa, has been considered by
experts to be a model road. 1t was
built in 1908, using the telford-maca'
dam construction; native limestone
was used for the telford course, and
Birdsboro trap rock for the top, says
writer in Northwestern Agricultur-
ist.
There are certain sections of this
highway that we're flooded during a
cloudburst, and the top surface
which was washed off the road was
replaced by grouting with one part
cement and two parts sand.
The road was built nine inches in
depth, FIVE inches telford and four in
ches macadam course. Shortly after
completion there were several surface
treatments OF light coaltar product,
consisting of a mixture of water, gas,
tar, cement, liquid asphaltum, road oil,
carbolic disinfecting powder, sulphate
of copper and oil of wintergreen. The
sulphate of copper was used to pre-
vent the oils from becoming ignited,
and the wintergreen cohnteracted the
odors of the others. A curious ef-
feet Of the mixture was said to be its
power. there not being
a single contagious disease in that Sec
tion. Unfortunately, however, this
does not appear to be lasting, as at
this time, four years after it was ap-
piled, there is no evidence of this tar
product on the road.
During the last season the main
tenance department resurfaced an
other section of this road between
Rutherford Subway and Swatara
Creek. This work consisted merely Of
placing about four inches of crushed
stone upon the old roadbed, and bind
ng with sufficient screenings wetted
and rolled.

EXPERTS MUST BUILD ROADS
Generally to Maintain Roads
and Streets.

The astonishing results of a census
taken recently on a secondary thor.
oughfare leading out of London
showed only per cent OF horse-drawn
vehicles. The exact count was Is We
hicles of the latter class to 500 We
hicles propelled otherwise than by
horses. Herein lies both an explana-
tion of the failure of public authorities
generally throughout the world to
maintain roads and streets in good
condition, and also a presentation of
the difficulties that road constructors
now confront.
A similar example of the extraor-
dinary change that has occurred in
the use Of roads in recent years is
that of furniture manufacturing con-
cern in Easton, which delivers on its
own trucks in New York city instead
of using the already-constructed steel
roads, namely, the railroads. This con
Germ uses the ordinary roads. con

KING ROAD DRAG IS FAVORED
Hundreds Of Farmers Of Colorado
Have Pledged Themselves to
Make Use of implement.

State Highway Commissioner T.. J.
that the state will pay half the cost
of split-log drage to all counties which
will furnish these drags free to farm
ers and others pledging themselves to
use them on their roads. This
action followed the strong impression
made on the highway commission by
the d. Ward King method of road
building, as demonstrated at the King
road rallies held recently at Castle
Rock, Littleton, Golden, Denver,
Brighton, Loveland, Greeley, Fort Nor
gan, Fort Collins and Cheyenne. Gov
ernor Ammons was a regular attend
ant at the meetings and enthusias-
tically indorses the system.
Hundreds of farmers have already
pledged themselves to use the drags.
and as a result it is predicted that
ruts, bumps and mudholes in the roads
In this section of the state will soon
be things of the past, just as this Mis-
souri, farmers method transformed the
dirt roads of Iowa and a dozen other
states at practically no expense.
The following is Kings condensed
formula for building and maintaining
q perfect road with the split-log drag:
Build a King drag according to in
etructions. After the first rain, while
the dirt is still moist but not sticky.
hitch the team to the drag so that
the drag will follow the team at an
angle of about As degrees. Drive with
one horse on each side of the wheel
track to your neighbor's front gate
toward town and come home over the
other wheel track, smoothing the road
and moving a small amount of earth
toward the middle.
After the next rain or wet spell go
again. Repeat this after each storm
until the surface touched by the drag
is smooth and is slightly higher in
the center than at the sides.
Pillow a shallow furrow (please no.
tce the word 'shallow) Just outside
the dragged portion of the road, turn
ing the furrow into the dragged por-
ton. Spread this furrow (notice the
word 'spread) over the road toward
the center with the drag. When you
finish the roadway will be about two
feet wider and the middle will be a
little higher.
After the next rain or storm plow
again and drag again, adding two feet
more to the width and building the
road still little higher in the center.
Only plow one furrow between rains.
When the road becomes wide enough,
quit plowing. Never drag except when
the soil is moist.
This formula is guaranteed to pro-
duce results"
government bulletin giving in
structions for making and using the
King drag may be obtained by anyone
desiring to use ii on his roads by ad-
dressing the agricultural department
at Washington.

they improve the appetite. cleanse
