Work of the Department of Agricul

ed to Give Data on Highway Con
struction
Korty Meven dlltereiit mjiih of road to
the mile seems a pretty large order
but that Is the iort ut construction that
the road nilice or the department of
agriculture has been undertaking in
New York state It is a lame piece of
work and promises to give some of
the most valuable comparative data on
road ma Icing that have ever been ac
cumulated in the United States
The work is to be done in conjunc
tion with Cornell university and will
be on a stretch of well traveled high
way outside of Ithaca The materials
for Ihe construction have all been ac
cumulated and the work has attract
ed much attention The road will he
divided Into sections of 100 yards each
and each of these will be built of dif
ferent material and in a different man
ner The road office made plans tor
the construction of telford and mac
adam sections and these will be giwn
a top dressing of almost every con
ceivable sort of road binder The
roads will be coated with asphalt dif
ferent sorts of tar light and heavy
oils and such other binders as have
been brought to the attention of tie
department from various sections ol
the world
There will be roads constructed of
slag granite and various sorts of rock
and these will be combined with dit
ferent sorts of top dressings tending
to form a good chemical combination
for preserving the surface from wear
It is expected that the road will be
finished before the coming of cold

wearing qualities will be made early
next spring From that time on there
will be periodical inspections and re
ports so that the department will
know just how the various sections
are standing up to the work All of
the sections will be kept in as perfect
repair as possible and a rpcord will
be made of the cost of the work so
as to give not only the original cost
of building but the annual cost of
upkeep
The cost will be calculated for the
various materials used both with and
without including the transportation
charges so that it will be for any
community to tell just what a certain
sort of road ought to cost in its own
vicinity
The department has so far decided
on the sort of roads to be built on
about 4200 feet of the experimental
strpten and the whole work probably
will cover about a mile
One of the essential features of the
periodical reports that will be made
will he how the different sections
withstand different sorts of traffic It
has been fouud that some of the best
roads where iron tired vehicles am
horses are used are the poorest in
withstanding the scouring effect of
rubber automobile tires One great
object of the various sorts of binders
to be experimented with is to find
something that will make a perma
nently dustless highway and one that
will not be disintegrated by motor
traffic
The experiments of the road office
with what it terms palliative
dressings have been quite wide in the
past season and tolerably satisfac
tory The stretch of road laid in the
agricultural department grounds and
treated with wood pulp sulphite liq
uor has stood up quite well but it is
found that it will require about two
dressings per year to keep the road in
good condition As the liquor now
costs more than light oil for road
dressing it seems not to be an econom
ical material to use
What the Purchase of an Auto Did
A farmer in western Kansas bought
a 3000 automobile recently After he
got it home he found a stretch of road
a mile long in his neighborhood too
sandy for his machine So he simply
took his farm bands and teams and
bnllt a mile of macadam road through
that sand
