Engineers Of Bureau Of Public Roads
Recommend Use Of RitumInouS
Material

Owners Of large farms and rural
estates seeking a more satisfactory
type Of entrance roads have applied
to the bureau Of public roads Of the
United States department of agricul-
ture for advice regarding the applica-
ton Of bituminous material on main
entrance and much-traveled farm
lanes.
The bureaus engineers point out
that such applications may be made
successfully on any farm road which
has already been constructed of stone
gravel. or other similar material and
is in a thoroughly compacted and rea-
sOnabfy smooth condition. a coal-tar
preparation applied cold, or an as
phaltic oil, can be used, and if applied
by the farm employees, the cost should
not exceed Z or s cents a square yard
for materials. The compacted gravel
or stone road should be thoroughly
cleaned of dust and the bitumen
applied with ordinary sprinkling
pots from which the perforated noz-
zle has been removed and the spout
carefully fiattened into a symmetrical
rectangular opening about one-quarter
Of an inch wide. so that the material
may be poured In a broad, fat stream
If large amount Of work is to be
done. specially designed pouring can
may be purchased of dealers in road
equipment. Care should be taken to
have an even distribution, and the
quantity, applied should be approx
mately one-half gallon to q square
yard of road surface. After applying
the bituminous material, clean gravel
or stone chips should be spread even
ly over the surface. and. If possible
rolled with a lawn or field roller
Where gravel or chips are not avail
able, clean, coarse sand will serve as
covering material. 1t should be spread
in sufficient quantity to prevent the
bituminouS material from adhering to
tires of passing vehicles. Attention is
called to the fact that this treatment
should not be made where drainage
