GOOD
ROADS
PNEUMATIC TIRES ARE BEST
Offer Greatest influence in Reducing
impact Force on Surface OF
Various Roads

Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Impact-the force resulting when
truck wheel strikes the surface OF
road-depends largely, upon the kind
and condition of the tire used on the
wheel. the bureau of public roads of
the United States Department of Agri-
culture reports after a series of exten-
sive Investigations on the subject.
When roads were built to carry the
traffic of few years ago the actual
weight or speed of the load was only
generally considered. Much attention
was paid to the question of whether
the traffic was equipped with steel or
rubber tires, but a definite analysis Of
the surface and supporting conditions
of the road and determination OF
destructive forces were not deemed
necessary. The transition from horse
drawn to automobile and truck traffic
has changed the surface and strength
requirements of the road OF to-day,
When the realization came that this
heavy and severe traffic was here to
stay and that roads would have to be
built according to very careful and
thorough design in order to carry this
traffic 1t was found necessary to study
very definitely all the forces to which
a road is subjected. For two years
the bureau of public roads has been
working on the problem of obtaining
the value of the impact forces on
roads.
Some high points in their report re-
Gently MADE a4e:-
Thin or worn solid rubber tires, even
though they be very wide, produce very
high impact forces.
Pneumatic tires offer the greatest
influence In reducing impact forces,
and with their use the impact increases
only very slightly with the speed Of
the truck.
Cushion tires, that is, tires having a
degree of softness and DETECTION be-
tween solids and pneumatics, offer cor
responding advantages in reducing i'm
pact.
Impact increases with the speed Of
the truck. but it cannot he said to in

LIQUID MANURE is VALUABLE
Nitrogen and Potassium Should Be
Carefully Preserved and Used
for Improving Crops.

The liquid excrement from farm
animals contains nearly half the nj
trOgen and potassium vOided by them
and should be carefully preserved.
When steers are fed on cement floors
the value of the manure produced is
more than 81 per year greater for each
animal than when fed on earth floors.
Open barnyard manure is about one
half as valuable as stall manure. The
least amount of nitrogen will be lost
from stored manure if animals are
kept on it or it is kept in moist,
well packed condition. Manure used
in connection with continuous crop
pings will not maintain the maximum
YIELD but when used in connection
with crop rotation 1t increases the
yield of all crops grown in that rota-
tion. Manure used in conjunction with
complete fertilizer high in phos-
phorus will give better returns than
when either is used alone.

Automatic Fertilization.
when the World war cut off Ger
man supplies of potash and it scared
to $4O0 ton, biologists secured the
United States for the priceless fertil-
izer with little success. Yet the proc
ess of evaporation generously hands
out more than half hundredweight
to the acre, in war and peace. This
automatic fertilization is worth an
additional $3.50 an acre to the farmer
at present prices, and would have cost
him $40 an acre at war prices.
From this it will be seen that the
$12 to $25 an acre that it costs the
average farmer to grow wheat is a
small figure indeed, compared to what
he saves by having nature as his wa
ter wagon and fertilizer source"

Budapest.-The hangman of Hun
gary has risen to indignant defense OF
his calling and denounced those who
cast slurs upon it. He was prompted
by sneering references made in the
Hungarian national assembly. Friends
of former Emperor Charles and the
anti-Hapsburgs are always quarreling
there, and in some cases have shouted
at one another, "The hangman is your
friend"
Michael Ball, the official hangman,
has resented such slurs.

president of the national assembly, "is
as honorable and useful as that of
judges, lawyers, ministers or kings
Why should the old superstition hold
in modern times that the hangmans
profession Is disgraceful, abominable
and loathsome? My friends are all
perfect gentlemen and any member of
parliament can consider it only fiat

peared to be too expensive, yet there
was q great need of facilitating COM

of installing the line, using porcelain

about So per mile. These knobs work

= In order further to reduce the cost
some farmers tried pieces Of rubber

insulatOrs. Pieces of the tubing IN
inches square were wound around the

ports that this insulation is giving
satisfaction, although, Of course, the
rubber will deteriorate in time.

The difficulty Of locating these

mind, which readily adapts itself to
the lighter branches Of commerce, and

The condition of Russian men rcfu-

utilizing his knowledge of precious
stones of which he once had a large

Such men often lose their clothing

who serve them in default Of the pay

crease according to any constant ratio
or power of the speed.
Although heavy inspiring weight
may give higher impact than lighter
inspiring weight, 1t cannot be said
that this is the major controlling
factor.
The relative destructive effect pro-
duced by lightweight, high-speed
trucks and heavy, slow-moving trucks
has not been determined by these tests.
They do. however, indicate that equal
impact may be obtained under some
conditions.
Impact may be as high as seven
times the static load on one rear wheel
when a sOlid-tlre truck strikes l.
inch obstruction at 16 miles per hour,
an average value being about four
times. For pneumatic tires the maxi
mum impact value is probably not
more than one and three-fourths times
the load at one rear wheel, and an
average value is not more than one
and one-fOurth times the load.
