Orchard grass grows from three to

Most of the weight Of the hay Is from
the leaves near the ground. If cut

Orchard grass Is richer than timo-

higher yields. 1t Outlives timothy.

In crumbling brick and mortar. Mil
lions of homes have been devastated.
New enterprises, new railroads,

other works of peace have failed to be
built as they would have been in the
normal development of nations. In
stead, the old equipment has been
wearing out. Railroads in the warning

New York.-The three most awful
years in the worlds history have come
TO a close.
Three years ago, August 1, Germany
declared war on Russia. precipitating
a conflict which has killed five million
soldiers and certainly over million
civilians-perhaps many more; cost d.
rectly between seventy-five and hum
dred billion dollars, and piled up
sum in human woe entirely incalcula-
BILE and incOmprehensible.
Not n corner of the earth has been
too remote to feel the effect OF the
forty million or more men who have
gone forth to war. Not an intelligent
being but has been stirred to his
depths by the dreadful, wasteful fire
that has scourged the globe.
From a petty Balkan quarrel, re-
sulting in the seizure Of Bosnia and
Herzegovina by Austria and in the
assassination of the heir to the throne
of the dual monarchy and his consOrt
by resentful JugO- Slavs, the cOnfiagra-
ton has spread to every continent and
every land. Most Of the world is d.
rectly involved in war, and In the nom
belligerent countries questions stirred
I'D by the conflict are the subject of in
tense and constant domestic differ
ences.
Vast Human Changes.
What changes ION the map" the war
will make still await the great peace
conference to be told; but already hui
man society has been altered with
such swiftness as can scarcely he par
alleled even in the era of the French
revolution.
Russia has changed from the great
est example of an absolute and bur-
densOme autOcracy to the worlds
freest and most liberal democracy.
with its eyes set on ideals as high as
the stars.
The people rule in Russia after CEN
turtles of oppression. and in many 9TH
er nations the bonds forged by birth
and privilege are giving way.
Germany has its first imperial
chancellor without won" to his
name-a small. uncertain step toward
democracy, yet ray Of hope. The
iunkers and the militarists are still
in the saddle, but their faithful, care
fully nourished slaves for the first time
have them worried.
In every country the importance of
government has increased. The GEN.
trail authority has had to take over
powers II never possessed or wished
before. The peoples are thinking more
about their government. selfish
thoughts perhaps. for their leaders
mean more to them than formerly.
Governments More Active.
The British government has taken
over thousands of great industrial
plants to run on war work, while
similar changes of revolutionary char.

Italy and Germany. Even the United
States has Communicated all the ship.

but to prevent slipping II may be neces-
sary In some cases to blast steps into
such surfaces before depositing en-
bankment material.
No matter how the grading Of an
earth road may be accomplished IL
usually is economical to bring the road
surface to its final shape by means OF
grading machine. In making exca-
vations 1t is not generally considered
practicable to form the crown and side
bitches with scrapers or hand tools
alone. and the cross section Is, there
fore. frequently left approximately fiat.
The grading machine Is then used, I'm
the manner already described. to pro-
duce the required cross section.
After the road has been finished with
the grading machine. II should be given
frequent attention until the embank-
ments have finished settling and the
surface has become thoroughly COM
pacted by the action of traffic. Usually
"a period of several months should
elapse after road Is graded before 1t
is considered complete. and such settle
ments and irregularities as develop
during this period should be corrected
by the use of either a grading machine
or q road drag.
Construction Costs.
Aside from drainage structures, the
principal item of cost attached to the
construction Of an earth road Is for the
grading. The cost Of grading varies
greatly, according to the condition Of
the weather. the nature of the material
to be excavated, the efficiency Of labor.
teams and machinery, ETC., and seldom
can be estimated In advance with any
great degree of accuracy. On this ac-
count average costs based on past ex-
perience may be very misleading when
applied to a particular project.
The first step In estimating the cost
of grading a given road Is to ascertain
the quantities of work to be done. After
the quantities have been determined
the cost may be estimated In either OF
two ways. First, the organization for
carrying on the work may be planned
in detail and the estimate arrived at
by considering the cost of maintaining
such an organization, together with the
rate at which 1t may reasonably be ex-
pected to accomplish the work. Sec
ond, the cost per cubic yard for exca-
walton and the cost per mile for
shaping the roadway may be estimated
at fiat rates. The first method Is the
most accurate. though the latter Is the
one employed most frequently.
