ROAD
BUILDING
CLEAN MATERIALS FOR ROAD
Builder Gets Perfect Concrete Aaare-
gates Along Route Of Job by
Ingenious Method.

Elimination of the long haul with
the assurance at the same time that
sand and gravel used in concrete road
construction would be thoroughly clean
and free from organic impurities was
achieved in an ingenious and economic
manner on a section of the Denver
Morrison highway. Comparatively shall
low deposits of both required compo-
nents of the aggregate to be used in
mixing this concrete were discovered
in the bed Of small stream which
flowed within quarter of mile of
the job.
Ine contractor determined to utilize
this natural deposit rather than incur
the expense and loss of time incident
to purchase or preparation of the ag
gregates in town and consequent long
haul to the mixer. AS it was necessary
to wash and screen his aggregates as
trucks, the contractor decided to at
tempt these operations all in one
move if possible.
Accordingly he obtained. six-inch
centrifugal pump and about 800 feet
Of six-inch iron pipe. A small sump or
pit was eXcavated in the bed of the
stream and the intake of the centrifu
gal pump was laid in this pit. The
bottom Of this pit was below the level
Of the ground water in the gravel bar
or bed of the creek. The pump took
in water, sand and pebbles as large as
three inches in diameter from this
sump and delivered them through the
discharge line which was approx
mately 700 feet in length to a flat
screen on top of the bins.
The supply of sand and stone in the
sump was continuously renewed by
means of horse-drawn slip scrapers
A screen composed of fiat bars was
placed across the top Of the sump to
eliminate intake of oversize stones
which could not be handled by the
pump. At the end of the delivery line,
the water, sand and stone were dis
charged upon fiat screen having
square three-eighths of an inch mesh
opening. The water and sand, OF

For rapid and economical gains use

will do best when self fed on grain
and some protein supplement. Self

BQEEMOEs IN ]. S.
now TOTAL 1854
Animals Are Increasing, Due
to Efforts of American
!. Bison Society.

NEW YORK. Jan. 27.-."The
American Bison Society, organized
In 1905, has been instrumental In
saving the buffalo from becoming
extinct, !" said NJ. s.. Garretson, Sec
rotary Of the society. THE. objects
OF our organization are the perma-
nent preservation and increase of
the American bison and the pro-
lection of North American big game.
The United States Government and
private herds Of buffalo are increas,
ing each year and are in a healthy
condition He added:
"The society is now endeavoring
to save the antelope, which is far
greater peril than. the buffalo ever
was. We recently purchased a
band Of young animals near Alberta,
Canada, to. stock the Wichita game
preserve, formerly the natural
home of the antelope. The Ameri-
can Bison Society is seeking to
establish game preserves in differ
ent parts of the country, where
antelope abound, especially in Ore
gon; Idaho, and Nevada and to in.
terest people in protecting these
animals.
Apart from the humane side Of
caring for buffalo,, there is a real
commercial value attached to the
project, the robe, head and meat of
the animal representing an i'm
portant angle. But the real fine
idea back Of the buffalo preserva-
ton it the fact that this wonderful
fo f1a1a xy,.ikk %,
into our American history, and it
would be unfair to posterity were
the bison tribe allowed to become
extinct.
There are nine Government buff
falo preserves at present, the 1arg-
est herd of about 500 head being in
the Yellowstone National Park in
Wyoming. The next largest pre-
serve is the Montana bison range
established by the American Bison
Society, which placed originally
forty head there, the buffalo herd
now numbering 400. The Wichita
National Forest and Game Pre-.
serve in Oklahoma has increased
its original fifteen to more than
200 animals.
THE current total number OF
Government-herded buffalo is, by
the latest census, 1882. Through
out the United States that are, in
Guiding Government and other
herds. a total of 1864 buffaloes, as
compared with only 500 in 1908

POLICE DOGS GUARD FARM

NEW YORK, Jan. 2T.--A member
Of New York society, Mrs. Henry
w. Eaton, has choice collection of
forty Prince Edward Island silver
foxes that cost in the vicinity of
$50. 900. Mrs. Eaton is q silver fox
farmer on scale that turns the
silver into gold.
]. Al pair Of moderately good silver
foxes represents an initial expense
OF $1,000, but q big prize winner is
said to be worth more nearly
$4,000.
when the cold weather sets in
and pelts are prime around the 10th
of December, then the open season
on robbers begins, said Mrs. Eaton.
MY ranch occupies part OF my
uncle's farm, about SIX miles out
OF Great Darlington, Mass, and the
two most important features Of
the ranch are the wood and wire
stockade, six feet high all around
the ranch, and the watch tower
light that can be- trained on the
surrounding woods If suspicious
noises occur at night.
Silver foxes are as valuable as
diamonds and even more difficult TO
guard, and they are also very easily
startled. The watchmen have to be
constantly on the lookout, and
many ranches even have police dogs.
Mine of our foxes are on friendly
terms with me, and one of them, q
two-year-oid named Diane, allows
me to pick her up in my arms.
The rest call ii day f they let
you pat their noses, though they
love to run for apples and bring
them back for you to throw again,
just as dogs often do with balls.
Diane is fond of playing with hand
kerchiefs and all of the tanner foxes
adore pulling my skirts and tugging
at my coat as risky puppies do.
Raisins might be called fox candy.
so we have to buy them in ten
pound lots and carry handful
to the pens for each visit.
Foxes usually sleep in the day
time and run around at night. AL
noises frighten them, and this Is
very harmful, as foxes are said to
be the most nervous OF all the wild
animals, and If there are cubs. the
mother foxes begin to carry them
around looking for new and quiet
den to hide them in. The only

''Silver foxes require chef who
