INJURY DONE TO GOOD ROADS
Autos and Motor Trucks Do More
Harm Than SteeI-Tired Vehicles,
on Account of Speed.

There is more damage done tc the
roads now by autos and motor trucks
than steel-tired vehicles ever did, for
the reason of greater speed Of motor
vehicles and their drivers have the
same fool tracking habit the horse
drivers always had, Driving in the
same tracks never damaged steel tires,
but it is the destruction Of the roads
and rubber tires. The motor vehicle
is worse for the roads than horse rigs
on account of greater speed. The rea-
son running in track, is damaging to
rubber tires, is sharp rock will be
set in the side Of the track with the
sharpest corner out to nip piece out
of every tire, and sharp rocks cannot
dodge or bounce out Of the bottom OF
the track, but cut holes In the tires and
break the fabric, causing the so-called
stone bruises and rim cuts, even on
properly inflated tires.

BEST DAIRY BARN LOCATION
Ii Is Of Importance That Building Be
Comfortable, Durable and
Sanitary. n

1t is not necessary that the dairy
barn be deliberately built out Of ex-
pensive materials, suggest the dairy
husbandrymen at the Illinois expert
ment station, but it is of Importance
that it be comfortable, durable and
sanitary and that it be well located
and arranged. It is essential that the
roof be waterproof, the sides wind
proof and the stable floor substantial
and easily cleaned.
It Is of some Importance that the
site for the dairy barn shall have good
drainage. The yards should never
slope toward the barn. 1t is also well
to locate the yards to the south Of the
barn, If possible, to protect the stock
when they are turned out in the
winter,

milk and buttermilk. Most Of the men
buy pint each time. The foreman
stated that since the drinking of milk
has become so popular with the men
not only is their efficiency improved
but they are more contented and even
tempered.
Specialists are giving lectures in
many large department stores. and ex-
plain that glass Of cool milk Is not
only refreshing on hot day but also
furnishes a definite amount of nour-
ishment.
In New Haven, Conn.,, the manager
of one department store had posters
made entitled, "Why We Should Drink
MIX" and sold six milk tickets for
20 cents to the employees, no attempt
being made to show profit on the
sales. Half-pint bottles Of milk were
distributed to the clerks in the middle
Of forenoon and afternoon. Straws
were furnished with each bottle of
milk as the manager believes that too
often people drink milk too fast, Mus-

DOUBLED LIFE OF HIGHWAYS
French Engineers Find That Simple,
surfaceN coatings Of Tar Were OF
Much Benefit.

It has been the experience Of the
French engineers in building roads dur
ing war times that simple, surface
coatings Of tar preparation more
than doubled the life Of the road. This
being true, It would seem advisable In
the construction Of all country roads.
to cover the surface with some crushed
rock or gravel, and then use the heavy
tar preparation, because the binding
effect prevents the material from slip
ping to one side; it holds the material
intact and gives the road ha1d-sur

that too often at the noon hour the

and the excellence Of the French roads
can no doubt be partly attributed to
the selection of the best available ma
terials for their construction.
In 1893, a road material testing lab
oratory was established by the Massa-
chusetts highway commission, with the
late Logan w. Page in charge. This
work has developed until today there
are many such laboratories through
out the United States, and road en-
gineers are more and more coming to
realize the value of such tests and to
specify that material used in road con-
struction shall measure up to certain
established standard requirements.
