DUST PREVENTION.

Dust is one of the nuisances of the
road. 1t is disagreeable both to the
traveller and to the one living near the
the road. In many places the roads
are oiled but this is expensive. The
road drag is a good dust presentation,
and the cost of using it is small
Much of the dust in the road comes
from the wearing down of the ruts and
the ruts We're formed in the road be-
cause water stood in it. The road bed
that is we'll crowned in the middle and
packed hard will not loosen up muc1,
in wet weather and if no ruts are
formed there will not be much mater
ial to for dust. The best implement
for GROWING the road bed is the King
Road Drag. It should be run over the
road after every rain. In this way the
soil is laid on the road bed in thin lay
ers and is packed on.
When the road bed is hard and
crowned in the center it will hold just
about the right amount of moisture
unless it is sandy. Grass roads and
weeds growing along the road bed
send their roots under it and thus re-
move the moisture that holds the soil
grains together. The weeds and grass
should not be allowed to get within
several feet of the travelled part of
road.
Clay or loan will pack hard when it
contains the right amount of moisture,
when too wet it becomes soft and when
too dry the grains do not stick to-
gether. The best way to keep a fair
amount of moisture in the road bed is
to keep it about 10 inches above stand
ing water. To keep it packed hard
and well crowned in the middle and
to keep a strip On each side free from
weeds. When ruts are allowed to form
they will be ground to dust as soon as
drying weather sets in. Use the road
drag to keep the ruts from forming.
