Construction of Concrete Road Sand
for Use Subgrade Prepared for
ly Two Years' Service.
(Prepared by tho United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Concroto roadn havo shown a
marked Increase in popularity during
tho past five years, according to tho
,Toad-bulldlng specialists of tho U. S.
department of agriculture. In 1900
there wore 3G4.000 squaro yards of
Buch roads In the United States, while
for 1914, tho amount Is estimated as
19,200,000 square yards.
Tho durability of concrete roads has
not been proved by actual practice be
cause thoro are no very old pavements
as yet In existence, but from tho condi
tion of thoso which havo undcrgono
several years' service, it seems prob
ablo that they will bo found to wear
woll.
Tho principal advantages of con
crete pavements which havo led to
their Increased popularity aro:
Durability undor ordinary traffic
conditions.
A smooth, even surfaco offering llt
tlo roslstanco.
Absenco of dust and caso with
which it may bo cleaned.
Comparatively Bmall cost of main
tenance until renowals aro necessary.
Availability as a baso for another
typo of surfaco if desirable
Attractive appearance.
On tho other hand, concroto as a
road surface is noisy under horso
train c, and has a tendency to crack.
Unless theso cracks nro cared for at
once, they lead to rapid deterioration
of tho adjacent pavement and finally
require difficult repair work.
In tho past efforts havo frequently
been made to overcomo theso objec
tions to a certain degrco by covering
tho concrete pavement with a bitumi
nous wearing surfaco. At tho pres
ent time, the specialists in the de
ment of agrlculturo hold that this
cannot bo economically justified, al
though It is posslblo that futuro inves
tigation may chango tho situation in
this respect. In tho present state of
road science, however, it seems that
whore traffic conditions aro such that
a bituminous surface on a concroto
road is practicable, a bituminous sur
faco macadam road would bo equally
practicable and certainly cheaper.
Whero traffic which is too heavy for
macadam road uses a bltumlnouB con
crete road, the bituminous surfaco is
llkoly to give way and the uneven
manner in which It fails tends to pro
duce excesslvo wear on portions of
the concrete. For a successful con
crete road, hardness, toughness, and
uniformity are the most ossontial qual
ities. These can be secured to a
great extent by care in the selection
of the constituent materials and the
proportions in which they are mixed.
Samplo specifications are included in
tho bulletin, No. 249, Portland Ce
ment Pavements for Country Roads.
These specifications aro bollovcd to
typify tho best engineering practice
as it has been developed up to this
time. They cover Buch points as ma
terials, grading. Bubgrade and con
struction. The cement, It is said, should alwayB
conform to soma standard specifics.,
tlons for Portland cement, such aB
thoso issuod by tho United States
Dureau ot Standards or tho American
Society for Testing Materials. Tho
sand should not contain moro than
S per cont of foreign matorlal, and
Band with more coarso than flno grains
is to bo proterred. Tho coarso aggro
gate may consist ot eltbor crushed
tono or gravel. In either case It is
. . i i i
and Gravel Piled on Subgrade Ready
Concrete Pavement Road After Near,
very deslrablo that tho coarse aggre
gate bo woll graded in sizo betweon
proper limits.
Tho proportion of cement to the
sand and coarso aggregato combined
should not bo less than about 1 to 5,
and tho proportion of sand to coarso
aggregato not less than 1V& to 3, nor
greator than 2 to 3. A useful for
mula when gravol is used as coarse
aggregate is 1 part of cement to 1
parts of sand to 3 parts of gravel.
When crushed stono is used, 1 parts
of Band may bo substituted In placo ot
V parts.
Ordinarily from 1-3 to ot the
total cost of constructing a concroto
pavement is for labor after tho mate
rials aro delivered.. This emphasizes
tho importanco of efficient organiza
tion and propor equipment. Failure
to tako thoso factors Into considera
tion frequently results in adding from
10 to 20 per cont to tho cost of a
concroto pavement.
Tho most economical method is to
hnvo tho work of mixing and placing
tho concroto as nearly continuous as
practicable. Tho work Bhould bo
planned with a primary vlow of keep
ing tho mlxor going full tlmo. Tho
drainage structures, tho grading, and
tho subgrado should, therefore, bo
completed well in advance of tho mix
er and provision mado for obtaining
all of tho necessary materials without
dolay. A common error is tho falluro
to make adequato provision for deliv
ering water on the work, and tho
amount which a given stream is ca
pable of supplying Is frequently over
estimated. ENSILING THE GREEN CROPS
Extensive Investigation Carried on by
Nebraska Experiment Station
Six Small SII01 Used.
Tho department of agricultural
chemistry of tho experiment station
and college of agrlculturo of Nebras
ka has boon carrying on an oxtenslvo
investigation during tho last year oa
tho chemistry of tho processes which
tako placo during the ensiling ot vari
ous green crops. Special attention has
been given to sllago made from mix
tures of alfalfa and sweet sorghum.
Six small silos holding about ono
ton each wero filled in Septomber,
1914, with various mixtures. Two of
theBO bIIob were opened during tho
second week of August, 1916, and tho
sllago In each was found to bo in per
foct condition. Tho first silo con
tained a mlxturo of ono part sweet
sorghum and ono part alfalfa, while
tho second contained a mlxturo ot one
part sweet sorghum and two parts at
falfa. Alfalfa alone will not make sll
ago, because tho plant does not con
tain enough sugar to insuro tho pro
ductlon ot sufficient acid to preserve
tho sllago. Tho acid produced from
tho sugar in tho green plant by bac
terial action proserves tho sllago. By
mixing Bwcot sorghum with tho alfalfa
tho necessary sugar Is supplied.
Weaning Time.
Weaning tlmo is trotn six to twolvo
weeks, it tho sows aro to do robrod
at once, tho pigs shoula bo weaned
at oight or nino wooks ot age. If ono
llttor per year only is planned, tho
plgB may be allowed to run with
tho sow until twelve or fourteen weeks
ot ago.

H. C. TIiIb Ib a wonderful lesson for
youth as It emphasizes that tho way to
heaven is tho way to tho boat of llfo.
I. Eliaha'a Testing, vv. 1-8. Slnco
Carmol, Elijah had largely boon work
ing according to tho ."still small
voice." Ho had revived tho schools of
Samuel, but now In somo way notlco
was sont from God that tho tlmo of
his dopnrturo was nt hand. How EH
aha learned this fact tho record does
not suggest, but ho had had n great
object lesson in KHJah'H faithful, stop-by-stop
obedteuco to Jehovah's word
and doubtless was listening keenly
for Elijah's words and for tho voice
of Jehovah. This explains Ellsha's
tenacity. Gllgal (v. 1) moans "whoel"
our reproach rolled nwny, and is n
plcturo of our sulvntlon (I. Peter 5:7;
Ps. fi5:22). Elijah had already learned
tho lesson of being supplanted by n
youngor man and so ho gracefully al
lows EllBlia to follow him. "Bothol,"
tho houso of God, was a good placo to
tarry but not for Ellsha at UiIb tlmo.
Now (v. 3) fifty "hoiib" pupils of tho
prophet Beck to dlssuado Ellsha.
Knowing something wob nbout to
happon, thoy "stood to view afar off,"
but wero not willing to draw nigh, to
follow llko Ellshn. Thoy thereby
failed to reap a rich reward (John
12:26). Jericho (v. 4) means "fra
grance" It is tho ploeo ot tompta
tlon (I. Cor. 10:13). This was 14
mites farther and contained a sottlo
mont of prophots. Again Elijah and
Ellsha passsod on, tho ono to glory,
tho othor to tho fullness of tho Holy
Spirit. At Jorlcho (v. 6) tho "Bons
of tho prophet" ovldoncod greator in
terest than thoBO at Bethel, but in
reply to their challengo Ellsha com
manded Bllcnco. Tho last difficulty to
confront them was Jordan (death),
but thoy do not hesitate, for God had
provldod oven for that contingency.
Neither aro wo to hosltato but wil
lingly "die unto self." Horo tho aged
prophet exercised his supernatural
power and thoy "wont ovor on dry
ground" (v. 8). Though UiIb Journey
seems to havo boon rovoalcd only
stago by stngo, yet It was direct to
tho final goal, and at each stago,
though thoy saw not tho end, thoy
know whore to go noxt. This loyalty
of Ellsha to Elijah is n, great lesson
for us to follow in our sorvlco of
Christ our prlvilogo of loyalty to his
causo and tho blessing which will rc
BUlt thorcby. No great victory or
blessing ovor comes without much
travail and testing.
II. Elijah's Translation, vv. 9-1 2a.
Even as in tho first section wo soo in
typo tho plan of salvation so In this
soctlon wo aro taught tho resultant
facts and tho experiments which como
to us when tho blessing Ib received.
Ellsha is now encouraged to "ask,"
yot we havo a llko promlso from a
greater than Elijah which wo too often
neglect (John 14:13, 15:17). Elijah
was such a mighty man of prayer
(James 5:17, 18) that ho was on inti
mate terms with God and could thcro
foro mako such an offer to Ellsha (sco
Acts 8:15, 17). Notlco that tho "fifty
Bons of tho prophots" who "stood afar
off" wero not on tho right Bldo of tho
river to rocolvo a llko promlso or en
ter into tho same fellowship. In a
senso this was Ellsha's final test.
Again Elijah may not havo known tho
plan of .God that a man bo unllko him
self was to tako tho placo of leader
ship. Elijah said, however, "If thou
boo me whon I am taken from thoo,"
if God gives you spiritual vision to
uso and to understand, then ho will
accept you as my successor. Thero
must bo persistence to tho end and
spiritual vision. "As thoy still went
on" Elijah wont up, not in a chariot
but attonded by chariots and by a
"whirlwind into heaven." (Soo also
Ezok. 1:4; II Kings 6:17). Elijah,
the man of tempestuous flro and
Bword, who in his hour of weakness
prayed to die, is swept out of Bight,
amid a display of God's power in and
through nature.
Noto tho simplicity of tho record
one verso as though such power wero
a simple and a common thing for Jo
hovah. Tho translation of Jesus was quito
different and proporly so (Acts 1:9;
Luke 24:51).
"And ho saw It"
Ellsha's eycB wero opon and ho saw
his departing chlof, thorcforo ho bo
camo his successor according to tho
promise.
As a vlslblo proof of his now ap
pointment Elijah let his well-known
mantlo fall, as ho ascended, and Ell
sha took It and Is recognized na Eli
jah's successor.
What is heaven? Read tho last chap
ters of Rovolatlon.
Do wo llvo after death? Elijah nnd
Mosos on tho Mount of Transfigura
tion, and tho resurrected Christ provo
that death la but tho transforonoe to
another field of activity.

somo systems, coffee is an insidious
poison that undermines tho health.
Ask him if coffco Is a causo of con
stipatlon, stomach and nervous trou

life, and when taken sick two years
ago with nervous prostration, tho doc
tor said that my nervous system was
broken down and that I would havo to
give up coffee.
"I got bo weak and shaky I could
not work, and reading an advertise
ment of Postum I asked my grocer it
be bad any of it Ho said, 'Yes and
that he used it in bis family and it
was all it claimed to be.
"So I quit coffee and commenced to
use Postum steadily, and in about two
ireeks I could sleep better and get up
In tho morning fooling fresh. In about
two months I began to gam flesh. I
weighed only 140 pounds when I com
menced on Postum and now I weigh
167 and feel bettor than I did at 20
rears ot age.
"I am working overy day and sleep
