RELOCATE MANY OLD ROADS
Cutting out of Grades on High
ways to Save Horses.

prepared hy The United states Depart
mput ot AgucuIt.r.J
The average life Of he. S and au-
tomoJilea may be increased and the
cost of hauling reduced, according TO
the Office OF roads Of g.. department.
Of agriculture, by ralooai.- many old
roads and the more scientific laying
out Of new ones The r..urdl touden-
cy in road building is to build
straight road. whether /, goes over
steep grades or hills, or not, and pull
ing over these grades naturally adds
to the wear and tear on 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 a highway around a hill or
grade, but little appreciable distance
Is added and this is more than Offset
by the reduced strain of hauling.
The chief drawback from the farm
owners point Of view is that the lay
ing out of roads on this principle OF
avoiding grades necessitates, in some
cases, running the road through good
farm land or orchards or pastures, in
stead 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
in the mind of the individual land
owner as to whether the cutting up Of
his property by road yields him in
divdual advantages and so benefits his
community as to Offset the use of such
land for a road, or to overcome the in
convenience Of having his land di-
vided. In this connection the Office Of
roads points out that the running of a
road and the resulting traffic through
a good farm, where there are good
sheep, cattle, horses, grain, fruit or
vegetables, has a certain advertising
value and in many instances makes
the land more valuable In other
cases, the Importance Of such G level
road to the community is so great that
1t might well repay those using the
road to give the farmer the equivalent
in land equally good in place of what

The Value OF Common Salt

How many of our readers know
the many uses fer which table salt
may be used? Perhaps some of
the following uses may just fit
your case.
When mixing mustard IoI the
table, add a pinch of salt and it will
keep a better color.
If you find something burned in
your oven, throw a handful Of salt
into oven and there will be no
burnt odor.
Try rubbing the inside of teacups
with salt. to take off the tea stains
Add a pinch of salt to the water
III which you place cut flowers, and
see how much longer they will keep
their freshness.
If troubled with weeds along
gravel walks, sprinkle salt along and
they will die.
If grease is spilled on the range
throw salt over it and it will keep
the room from filing with smoke.
When washing hosiery, put salt
in the water and they will retain
their color.
If troubled with weak ankles, rub
them with sailed water and alcohol.
A pinch of salt on the tongue,
followed in ten minutes by a drink
of cold water, often relieves sick
headache
AS dentrifice, salt may be re.
lied on, as it keeps the teeth white,
the gums hard and the breath
sweet.
Hot salt and water held in the
mouth often stops tOOthache and
will stop the bleeding after a tooth
has been extracted.
AS an antldote for poisoning from
alcohol, lunar caustic, or nitrate of
silver, give warm salt and water
freely as an emetiC.
If rou.led with neuralgia make
a small flannel bag about six inches
square, fill With salt, heat and apply
to face.
Use salt water for a gargle for
sore throat, using every half hour
until relief is obtained.
For chilblains, bath feet in hot
salt and water.-Ex.

A Good Road in Wisconsin.

he has sacrificed to the common well
fare.
At any rate, the Office Of roads is
now taking special pains to make clear
the economic advantage of avoiding
steep grades in other roads, even at
some sacrifice of better land. Inves-
tigation shows that the laying of such
roads over hills has resulted more
from attention to the preservation OF
farm lines than from scientific atten-
ton to the problem of road building.
According to the testimony of farm
ers consulted, where a horse might be
able to pull 1000 pounds on a level
road, it would have difficulty in pulling
5000 pounds up 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 num-
Der 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 a few feet to the highway In
others. The ONCE knows Of no case
where a properly relocated road
which has cut out grades has led to
any question as to its material reduc.
ton of hauling costs.
