ROAD BUILDERS STUDY SOILS
Highway Engineers Expected to OBJ
tain Important information by
Investigation.

An investigation which promises to
place at the disposal of highway en-
gineers important information regard
ing the relation of soils to highway
durability has been undertaken by the
bureau of public roads, United States
department of agriculture. This work
includes taking samples of soil at
spots in the subgrade of a highway
where the road has begun to fail,
studying surrounding geological con-
ditions to determine how moisture ar
rived in the subgrade, thus destroy
Ing its value; making laboratory
tests to determine the physical char
acteristics of soils, and obtaining a
scientific measure of the bearing value
of soils. In this investigation it is pro-
posed to obtain as much cooperation
as possible from the various state
highway departments. The bureau of
soils is cooperating with the bureau
of public roads III this work.
Preliminary investigation has been
started in Maryland on the Washing
tOn-Baltimore road, and will be eX-
tended beyond Baltimore and on other
roads in Maryland. Progress has been
made in the matter of laboratory tests,
number of samples Of subgrade
material and other samples already
having been examined.
The federal highway engineers point
out that soils differ widely in their
ability to support loads, particularly
when they are wet. Just why this Is
true and just what are the character
istics which make them different is
little understood at present. 1t is in

REAL REASON FOR HIS TEARS

The graduating class of Terre

acknowledging the gift she noticed
that one boy was weeping. Then she
told how touched she was by the emo
ton displayed by this boy. what
greater tribute could teacher have
than to have child cry because he
was leaving herr" she later asked the
class.
One of the other boys remained
after the others had left. Miss N"
he confided, you thought Jim was
crying because he was going to leave
you, but he wasn't. 1t was because
that was going to be the last time he

DAIRY
FACTS
AGE OF CATTLE Determined
Each Year Leaves It's Mark on Grind
ers of Animal, Gradually Wear
ing to Stubs.

The age Of cattle can be approximate
ed closely by the appearance, develop
ment and subsequent wear of their
second incisor teeth, according to
Farmers Bulletin 1906 just issued by
the United States department of agri-
culture.
Cattle have eight incisor teeth, all
in the lower jaw. In the calf at birth
two or more Of the temporary or first
incisor teeth are present. With the
first month the entire eight incisors
have appeared. Each of the six stages
in the development of the teeth is
shown in the bulletin by illustrations
which will be very helpful to the per-
son DESTROYS Of becoming proficient in
judging the age of cattle.

SILAGE FROM MATURED CORN
Ears Have Not Fully Developed
When Preserved.

Silage made from corn that has an
opportunity to fully mature but which
has been planted in such a way that
the ears have not fully developed has
practically the same composition and
the same feeding value as silage made
from corn equally well matured but
which will yield fair crop of ear corn
to the acre. This is supposed to be
due to the fact that in tie production
of the ears there is merely a transfer
of the nutrients from the stalk and
leaves to the ear. There is a slight de-
crease in the feeding value of corn
when placed in a silO, hut this should
not exceed 1919, and the loss is less
from this method of preserving than
in any other.

Somewhat Embarrassing in This
Particular Case.

tentive admirer. Occasionally he
comes to the school building after
her and takes her home in his road
ster. The other afternoon she was
finishing reports and the young man
came into her room until she was
ready to go.
The janitor finished his work and
she told him that he could leave when
ever he wished to do so, and they
would close the building. But still he
fingered until they LETT. The next
morning he explained his stay by re-
marking that he was late getting
home the evening before. "But you
could have gone home" reminded the
principal. II told you we would close
up"
Eyes I know" he returned, "but you
see, Miss t, it's this way. The board
holds me responsible for this building
and I'm not willing to leave 1t in
charge Of perfectly strange man."
