GOOD
FIND ASPHALT BY ACCIDENT
for Purpose of Extracting Vaiu-
able Bitumen.

Asphalt. though covering thousands
of miles of roads in all countries was
discovered quite by accident. Iii the
middle of the last century it was
found in Switzerland in its natural
state, and used for the purpose of eX-
tracing the valuable store of bitumen
it contained. In time it was noticed
that pieces of rock which fell from
the wagons and were crushed by the
wheels, formed a very fine road sur
face when half melted by the heat of
the sun.
An experiment was made and road
of asphalt laid in Paris. 1t was so
successful that the new road material
became adopted through all the big
towns of Europe.
All sorts of materials have been
tried since, from rubber to seaWeed.
1t is very likely, in fact, that in the
future the streets of our big cities
will be paved with some form of rub
Der mixture which will be practically
noiseleSs. Very extensive experiments
have already been carried out with
such a mixture.
In New York several streets are
paved with steel, and a steel road has
been in use in Valencia, in Spain, for
the last 20 years. Perhaps the most
curious material for q road is sea-
weed. This compressed into solid
blocks. is used to pave the streets of
Baltimore. These Seaweed blocks are
bound with wire and dipped into boil
ing tar before being put to use.

In Department Circular 1863, Annual
White Sweet Glover and Strains of
the Biennial Form, recently published
by the United States Department of
Agriculture
The nature of this new variety, &C
cording to the bulletin, is such as to
indicate that it may have important
possibilities. Probably its greatest use
for hay will be as an emergency crop
When a stand of clover has been win
ter killed. or when for any reason a
be short, this variety can be seeded
during the spring and, provided lime
and the proper bacteria are present,
will yield good hay crop. Where rain
fall is sufficient it may be seeded even
after wheat harvest. 1t makes a good
growth the first season, and expert
ments in Iowa and Michigan have
shown that 1t may be seeded with
oats, to be harvested after the grain Is
cut. 1t grows rapidly, and for this
reason will keep ahead of weeds.
The annual has smaller and more
woody root than the biennial form,
and crown or resting buds are not
formed. The stems, branches, leaves,
flowers, pods and seeds are indistin-
guishable from those of the biennial
form, but during the season of seed
ing the plant grows more rapidly
blossoms, fruits and dies. 1t blooms
early and ripens seed in August when
seeded early. Seed Of the annual form
is still very scarce and high priced
and, since it cannot be distinguished
from seed Of the ordinary biennial
should be purchasd with caution.

MESH GOOD FOR ROADS
British Army in Egypt Used Chicken
Wire in Building Temporary
Routes in Sand.

The British army in Egypt has
used chicken-wire in the construction
of roads.
Loose sand was smoothed and lev
eled and then covered with chicken
wire. which was firmly pegged down.
The passage Of troops or motor
transports seemed to affect the road
very little, while the passage of ami
NAL drawn vehicles damaged the i'm
provised road badly. However, 1t was
possible to make repairs quickly and
the road was easily kept in good con-
dition.
of course this wire-mesh road was
purely a temporary expedient for the
military. The old Romans still hold
the palm as the champion road-mak-
ers of the world. Many foundation
of the roads they made is still in use
in Europe, the surface alone being
modern.

If the farmer confines his attention

be studied in conjunction with the
quotations on grades which are based
on weight and quality. The bulk of
sales figures may vary widely from
day to day without indicating that the
market is unstable This situation
frequently arises from a limited trade
in low-grade hogs on the same day
that high-grade animals are finding
ready sale. The bulk of sales quota
ton for such a day will reach rela
lively high figure. On the following
day larger number of low grade ami
mails may be included in the sales and
the higher grades neglected, with the
result that the bulk of sales quota
tons will be far below that of the
preceding report. On sessions when
the average quality Of the animals Of
fered is low the bulk of sales report
will reflect this condition, and the
farmer who has animals ready for
shipment may be misled as to the
actual state of affairs, unless he takes
into account the other factors which
have an important bearing. Because
the bulk Of sales report from one mar
ket is much lower than that from an
other city he may decide to ship his
product to the market which appears
to offer the highest prices. AS mat
ter of fact, for the grade that he has
to offer, the market quoting the lower
bulk figures may offer the higher price
to him. 1t is undoubtedly true that
country buyers often take advantage
Of low bulk of sales reports to depress
purchasing prices in their localities.

CONSOLATION FOR THE FAT
Surety Company Gives Stout Denial to
the Statement That "Nobody

Fat men need no longer go hungry
for affection. The surety companies
love them. Men who resort TO ex-
clamation marks when the razor slips
or the back collar button deserts its
post of duty may be hard on the
nerves of the household, but they
bring Joy to bank auditors. Fat men
and loud swearers pay their bills
much more promptly than lean and
close-lipped men, and run away much
less frequently with the employers

thority of the chief expert of surety
