ROAD BUILDERS ISSUE A MAP
Tentative Routes Of 100000 Miles Of
ArticuIated Highways in United
States Arc Shown.

The National Highways association,
the future, has prepared a map show
ing the tentative routes of 100000
miles Of articulated highways which it
thinks should network the United
States in an orderly manner.
This map is the expression OF one
of the main ideas of the association,
namely, that trunk-line roads are the
first requisite-through routes leading
from somewhere to somewhere, and
that the feeder roads must naturally
follow the development and improve
ment of these main lines. The theory
is like that on which the great railroad
systems Of the country were built.

Available material In the locality

of which culverts will be constructed.
For example, if we ara in a country
where good building stone abounds, it
would generally be advisable to use
this material for culverts-
If no stone is handy, bur good gravel.
may be secured, plain concrete, or re-
enforced concrete, may be- found to be
the most economical material. In
some localities we shall have to resort
to the use OF pipes. My experience
has been that while a good culvert
may be constructed by the use Of Wit
rified tile, IT'S use in most cases has
been failure. This is due to lack of
proper care in laying the pipe.
All eulverts, of whatever material.
should be carried to good foundation
Generally speaking, | would recon-
mend that the waterways of stone
culverts be paved. and that concrete
culverts be built with concrete floor;
although this is not always necessary:
In any event the side walls should be
carried to good, firm foundation, and
each end OF the culvert should be pro-
vided with a cutoff wall carried below
the frost 10 prevent undermining By
the water.
Pipe culverts should be laid on a
good, firm foundation. If the natural
soil does not provide this, founda-
ton should be excavated from twelve
to fifteen inches below the bottom of
the pipe and crushed stone or gravel
should be placed in the excavation
and the culvert well bedded on this
foundation. A head wall should be
provided at each end of the pipe cul-
vert the same as for concrete or stone
culverts, to prevent the water from
getting under the culvert. or along the
side of it, and washing it out. Cast
iron water pipe and corrugated metal,
If of good pure iron, will be found to
make satisfactory culverts where a
small opening is necessary.
All culverts should be laid on a
grade and, above all things, they
should be provided with good out
let to take the water away from them.
Sometimes this will necessitate the

President Wilson has been coming
closer and closer to the American peo-
pie in the past few months. His west
ern tour did much to bring home the
human side of his nature to the great
Mississippi valley. 1t was not po-
htical tour; it was the journey OF a
citizen who had forgotten himself and
his own concerns in his sense of a
great need and his enthusiasm for a
great movement. The impression made
by his direct, forceful, informal talks
on that tour was great.
The president did not discuss any
public question. except by implication
But that Is not the point The people
need to know, not the presidents
views alone, but the way he does his
thinking, the temper of the man. Lin
coins stories were good stories-but
they had value at the time of the
telling which went far beyond their IL
Illustrative relation to the subjects he
discussed. They told the nation not
only what Lincoln thought. but how
he thought; they passed like an cleo
trio spark between him and millions.
Such talks help the people to get
acquainted with the president. And
the sense of mountaineering, while
not listed in the books of political
science as factor in democratic gov.
eminent, is an element of priceless
value.

+, Comfort for Republicans.

Mr.. Wilson Is chiefly responsible for
the legislation which curbed the power
Of Wall street and put a stop to arti-
fetal panics for all time. Times were
never better than they are at present.
Every man who wants to work can
find employment at good wages. 1t is
a sure sign OF good times when there
are labor strikes. And the old cry of
protection for American industries
and 1.-The full dinner pail" will await
the Republicans nothing.

digging of ditch from two to six or
seven hundred feet long, but the ditch
must be dug if necessary; the drain
is a failure unless we provide the
outlet.
All culverts should be covered with
a cushion of earth to prevent traffic
from coming directly on them. In the
case of stone or concrete culverts, six
or eight inches under the macadam
or gravel surfacing will be sufficient.
With pipe culverts there should not be
less than twelve of eighteen inches,
and two feet of cover under surfacing
material will be more satisfactory.

aBy T. c. REED. Missouri Agricultural
Experiment Station)
Dairy cows will produce more milk
and for longer time when turned on
good grass pasture during the spring
months. though the cows have been
milking for several months. The
chief reason for this increase is that
good pasture grass provides an
abundance of succulent feed.
1t is a well-known fact that milk
production often decreases in many
dairy herds from a third to half
when the pasture grass becomes short
during the hot summer months. Short
pasture in Missouri often lasts from
the last week in June to the middle
of September. One of the big prob
lens OF the dairy farmer is to keep up
the milk flow during this trying time.
He can do so most economically by
providing an abundance of succulent
feed. Under conditions at the Mis-
souri, agricultural experiment station
succulent feeds may be provided dur
ing the shortage of pasture grass
either by growing green crops or hav-
ing silage available during this time.
Crops cut for green feed are called
soiling crops. On average lands one
acre of soiiing crops is equal to three
or four acres Of good pasture and i've
or six acres of short pasture. The
average acre will produce from six to
ten tons Of green feed in a favorable
season. The average cow will eat
from fifty to sixty pounds Of green
feed a day.
After trying various schemes OF
planting different crops in succession
in order that there may be continu-
GUS supply of green feed for the dairy
herd, the Missouri college of agricul-
ture follows the plan of planting oats
and Canada peas at the rate OF i've
pecks each per acre April 25, to be fed

How a Builder Financed operations,

A reader of the Home Builders
page writes as follows in explaining
how he financed his hpme building:
First / caught my building site
and drew plans for house and barn to
fit it. Next made application for a
loan to a cooperative bank, showed
the land and the plan to the investment
committee and subscribed for the
requisite number of shares. The bank
agreed to let me have the money In in
stallments at various stages.
II then went to my bank of deposit
and borrowed money as needed it, on
short-time notes, to pay cash as went
along, where could get per cent OFF
for cash. and called on the co-opera-
tive bank for money when wanted to
pay the notes.
In that way get number OF ad-
vantages in buying and saved good
