IMPROVED
ROADS
LOW RATE ON ROAD MATERIAL
Shipment Of Surplus War Articles
Permitted by Ruling as ICON
tractors Equipment"

In the shipment of surplus war ma
terials transferred to them by the bu-
reau of public roads, United States
Department of Agriculture, state high
way departments will be saved great
deal of expense as result of ruling
of the Interstate Commerce commits
sion permitting the shipment Of this
material as Contractors equipment"
thereby giving it the advantage Of a
low rate.
The railroads previously required
the states to pay less-than-carload
rates on the various items included in
such shipments, even when together
they made up carload. The conten-
ton of the bureau is that since the
bulk Of this material has been used
and none Of it is new, and since it Is
all intended for use in road construc-
ton, it should be given the advantage
of the low rate allowed to contractors

equipment. This contention, which
was opposed by the railroads, was
upheld by the Interstate Commerce
commission.
The low rate is now applicable to some
1900 carloads to be shipped from
Camp Grant ILL.,, and large quantities
from other points. On carload ship
ment from Schenectady, N. Y, to
Boise, Ida, $720 recently was saved,
and $500 on another from San An

MANURE STORAGE
is BIG PROBLEM
Not Always Convenient to Haul
Fertilizer Directly to Fields
for Distribution.
PLAN TO PREVENT LEACHING
No Material Loss Sustained Where
Concrete Pit Is Employed-ln
Gases of Heating Loss OF
! Ammonia Takes Place.

In providing for the storage OF ma
nure during the periods when 1t is I'M
practical to take 1t directly to the
fields for distribution the choice rests
between some form of shed, or over
head shelter, and some kind Of a pit,
or reservoir. 1t may seem that these
quite different forms of storage imply
different theories in regard to han
ding the waste, since one leaves the
manure exposed to the elements while
the other shelters and shields it from
rain and weather.
Temporary Storage.
In making provision for temporary
storage of manure two things are
sought. The first is to prevent the
teaching away of soluble portions; the
second is to eliminate heating in the
manure pile by crowding out the air
with moisture so that the bacteria
which cause heating will be denied
air from which they derive the oxygen
necessary for their work. Both the
pit and the overhead shelter accom-
plish the first Of these. When a
concrete pit is used it makes no diff
ference whether the manure is under
cover or not so far as teaching is con-
cerned. The soluble portions cannot
get away in either case. When an
overhead shelter is used, there will be
scant loss from teaching even if the
manure is not stored upon a concret"
floor since the litter will retain the
liquid portion of the eXcrement, while
the roof overhead will keep off the rain
which would cause the pile to leach.
Control Heat Of Pile.
AS for the second objective-that of
controlling the heat of the pile-the
pit is supposed, theoretically, to, take
care of this automatically through the
rain that falls upon its exposed sur

ROAD SAFETY LAWS FAVORED
Decreased by Requiring Mirror
on Trucks.

Accidents on the highways, accord
ing to NJ. V. Eldridga road director of
the American Automobile association,
could be greatly decreased by the pas
sage of uniform state laws requiring
every truck to carry mirror giving a
view of the road to the rear and by
requiring every horse-drawn vehicle to
display some sort of light when using
the roads at night.
Mr.. Eldridge states that II states
and the District of Columbia have
laws requiring the mirror on trucks,
but that few have any regulation for
horse-drawn vehicles. The states re-
curing mirrors are Vermont, Wash
ington, California, Connecticut, New
York, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland,
Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri and
New Jersey.

MUCH ECONOMY IN BALED HAY
Convenient to Handle and Advantage
Gus In Marketing-Practice
Worth Extending.

A recent investigation shows that
in some states. as many as 10 per cent,
or more, Of the farms are equipped
with hay-balers and in many cases the
hay that is stored and used on the
farm is baled because Of the increased
economy in storage and the convent
ence in handling.
While the advantages in marketing
of hay and straw are the greatest adj
vantages obtained thus far from bill

Of superior domestic animals. In fact,
it ranks in Importance next to sales,
fairs and shows, taken collectively.
When parents show their interest in
good stock the children are more like
ly to do so.
One breeder told Of receiving some
purebred live stock as wedding gift
from his father-in-law. That beginning
was an important influence, which re-
suited in an entire herd of well-bred,
profitable animals, a practical infiu-
ence in the couples prosperity and
happiness.
Gifts of good live stock, the depart

face. To eliminate heating 1t Is only
necessary to crowd out the air in the
waste by moisture. Sometimes, how
ever, the amount of rainfall is not
sufficient to keep filled the interstices
Of the pile. In such cases heating en-
sues and loss of ammonia takes place.
We have seen badly "frefanged"
manure in open pits. However, this
was due to neglect on the part of the
owner and might have occurred had
the manure been held under cover
The chief virtue Of this last form of
storage is that it permits one to regu-
late at will the amount of moisture
that manure contains. In either case,
the result will be the same If the
manure is not permitted to dry out.
With the pit and the overhead shell
ter making for the same results the
choice between them lies in other fac
tors, chief Of which is the matter Of
handling the manure when it is re-
moved. Unless a pit is provided with
an underground cistern into which the
liquids can pass the task of removing
the manure is apt to be anything but
agreeable or easy at certain times. 1t
is easier also, to load manure into a
spreader when it does not have to be
elevated from a pit sunk below the sur
face Of the earth However some pits
are so constructed that the spreader
can be driven into them. Some Will
see in the extra equipment Necessary
for handling Of liquids an objection to
the pit equipped with a cistern. On
the other hand the use of liquid Of
this kind on early crops is sometimes
an advantage. All in all, while the
ends served are the same, the choice
between a pit and an overhead shelter,
either in the form Of d simple roof COW
ering or a more elaborate manure
house, Is one Of personal choice.
