wac rejected there for the same reason

In road work have rated capacity Of

To grade road Of any considerable

which they are adapted. But these
special conditions seldom prevail for
more than comparatively short
stretches Of road without sections In

Machine May d Operated Success

or Twelve Wsli.Trainsd Horses
-eerapsrs and Wagons.

Freparsd Specially BY the United States
Department Of Agriculture.)
The use Of elevating graders Is
sometimes desirable In the construc-
ton of earth roads. The essential fea-
lures Of this machine are a pillow with
q heavy moldboard, an elevating belt.
q suitable frame for supporting the
pillow and belt. and driving and adjust
ing mechanisms for operating the belt
and controlling the work. The pillow
loosens the material and throws 1t
onto the belt, which conveys and de-
posits 1t either in the roadbed or
wagons.
Elevating graders are adapted es-
pecially to building up embankments
with material excavated from shallow
borrow bitches along each side of the
road. They also may be used to ad-
vantage in excavatng long, shallow,
through cuts and loading the material
thus excavated into wagons for use
In building up entertainments at other
points. The latter use, however. Ia
restricted to situations where there is
sufhcient space to operate the grader
and at the same time afford passage
way for the teams and wagons to fol-
low under the end Of the belt to re-
ceive the successive loads as the
grader IL drawn forward.
Operating Elsvatine Grader.
1t Is customary to employ a trac-
ton engine for operating the elevatinE
grader, though teams are used some
times. Ordinarily, the machine may
be operated successfully either with
q 25-horse power tractor or with II
well-trained horses.
The rate at which earth can be ex.
cavated with an elevating grader is
relatively very high when conditions
are favorable and the grader can be
kept moving. But there are number
of rather complicated parts about such
machine which sometimes get out
Of order, and the work also Is usually
hampered by many unforeseen contin-
gencies, such az begging" of the
wheels, choking Of the pillow or the
elevator belt. occurrence Of buried
stumps or stones In the excavation,
etc. For these reasons the actual ca
pacity Of elevating graders, considered
over a long period. seldom is more
than about One-third or one-half the
rated capacity, and where the material
Is loaded into wagons as It Is excavat-
