TELLS GOOD ROADS, NEEDS
Farm and FIresIde Explains Best
Plan for Oval surfaee-shouId
BE Flat a. Possible.

Everybody agrees that the surface
Of q road must be oval In its con.
tour" says Farm and Fireside. 'but
not all understand that this oval
ought to be as fiat as the character
Of the road material and the lay Of
the land will permit. With brick or
concrete construction the oval may
be very fiat, because the traffic makes
no ruts to carry the water lengthwise
Of the road. nor does the pavement
soften ard develop depresslons when
kept In contact with water.
"But broken stone (water,bound
macadam), being susceptible to pene-
tratioD by water. and subject to great
damage II frozen while soaked, must
be given a higher oval; and for gravel
roads a still sleeper pitch is de-
manded.
"As for earth roads, the steepness
must be governed by the combined
influence of q number of factors.
Perhaps the leading factor is the
quality Of the earth ir each partlcu.
lar case. And next might be placed
the presence or absence Of 'seeps' or
'spouts'; while another Of these vital
factors would be the longitudinal
pitch Of the highway"

"How am I to know when nm inner

1T is the natural inquiry Of tire
user who has several repairs made on
his tubes and wishes to obtain the
utmost mileage from them, vet wants
to avoid the Inconvenience OF making

PATCHING OFTEN NEGLECTED
Two Ruts Caused to Form Where
There Was buS One Before
Work When Road 10 Wet.

Patching is usually neglected or
done In such o way as to cause two
ruts to form where there was but one
before. That Is the invariable result
Of nlling q rut too full. This work
should always be done when the road
10 wet. preferably when the water is
still standing In every little hollow ON
the road surface. SO that the workmen
can just see where to place the new
gravel and about how much Is needed.
Unless the rut Is . very large one.
1t Is always best to shovel the gravel
from the wagon into II, rather than to
raise sideboard and attempt to dump
part Of the load.

Worlds problems are being solved
by the motor truck, according to Will
liam Fulton Melhuish, president Of
a large motor truck concern. Care
full gathering Of statistics by Mr..
Melhuish, consultations with authori-
ties, have shown conclusively that 80
per cent of the perishable products
Of the American farmers do not reach
the market.
"Motor trucks will ultimately III the
bill and enable every farmer to get to
the market 100 per cent of his produc-
tion of perishable foods" said Mr..
Melhulsh. "As America promotes its
Rad building efforts and improves the
highways the farmers will see the
light by millions and motor truck max
ers will never be able to meet the
demand for their product.
Work Of One Man.
"Some days ago 1 learned Of real
facts regarding the use of the motor
truck by one farmer. This man, liv-
Ing only II miles from big city, was
at the same time ten miles from his
nearest railroad. Inability to secure
shipping and inability to get his goods
to the railroad caused losses not only
to him but to other farmers.
''He was induced to use a motor
truck. At that time he had only $500
In the bank. He bought the truck,
took on work for his neighbors Of
