Effect of Hicliway Improvement In New Jersey* 4 The importance of good roads and their value to each district having them have long been advocated, but not until recent years has the public j been awakened to their full significance. After all, it was not by argument that the public was convinced, but from necessity In the beginning I and then by example. The state of! New Jersey is wedged in between New j York and Pennsylvania, with one of j the great cities of the country on its eastern borders and the second largest city on its western borders. Its farmers are mainly engaged in raising truck for the millions of people living in those two cities. To do this thousands of them drive to each city daily with a load of truck, starting in the morning anywhere from 12 to 4 o'clock to get to the markets early enough for the hucksters. "Jersey mud," a clay loam, Is proverbial for its stickiness and disagreeable nature to travel through when wet, says the Putnam (Conn.) Patriot The Jersey farmer knows the value of a dollar and is opposed to taxes, but he could reckon the difference between what he lost daily by reason of bad roads and the tax he would have to pay for. building a smooth rock road. That having been worked out, one good road was built, and those iu>ar it got to market regularly and easily, rain or shine, saving enough each trip to pay the road tax. "Seeing is believing," and farmers in other parts became convinced of their economy, and the examDie was followed, slowlv at first, but gradually going on more rapidly. Last year 100 miles of new roads were built in that state at a cost of about $300,000. This year the demand for them is so great that the state will, the coming year, venture to put $1,000,000 into 200 miles of macadam. The state commissioner of public roads declares that this movement has increased the taxable property of the state by $27,000,000. Just think of that! BAY STATE ROADS. Some Facta About the Highways of Haaaachnaetta. x It costs on an average $9,000 per mile to build a state road in Massachusetts, says the Boston Globe, but the actual cost depends on locality and conditions, hardly two cases being alike. One-fourth of the cqst of a otofo rnnH 5a linrnn hv the onnntv in which it Is situated, the balance being contributed by the state. The work of the highway commission has developed a number of high class professional roadbuilders. Many of the younger and more ambitious have entered the employ of the national government in Cuba. Porto Rico and the Philippines in the same line of work. Most of the state roads are of broken 6tone. but a few are of gravel. The type of road built is determined by the engineer, who makes careful examination of soils, drainage, gravel, stone, grades and traffic. The thickness of stone on state roads varies from four to sixteen inches, the lesser being placed over good gravel or sand, the greater over heavy clay. The broken stone used on state roads passes through half inch, inch and a half and two and a half inch screens. The largest size is placed on the bottom, the second size on top of this and the crown Is made witn naii men mmenai. Ail are rolled separately and thoroughly. The cost of trap rock for roadbuilding varies from $1.10 per ton to $1.60 per ton. The state owns seventeen steam rollers, which are employed In state roadbullding. The standard width of stone roadways In Massachusetts built by the commission is fifteen feet There are some only ten and twelve feet wide, but they are not deemed economical to maintain. When a state road is constructed, it remains under the control of the state highway commission. The local authorities, are taxed an amount not to exceed $50 per mile for maintenance. FOR BETTER ROADS. Hen of Wealth Interested In Highway Improvement. Men of wealth are evincing a prac1 *.r-.o A ^mnrnvomont fnr IJl'Ui 111LCiCOL txi iuau iu^Lui^v? _ ? the benefit of their fellow men. George Gould has offered to bear one-third of the entire cost of the improvement of the public highways in the vicinity of Lakewood, N. J., and Colonel J. J. Astor has spent large sums on the roads near Poughkeepsie, N. Y. Recently Harley T. Proctor, a summer resident of Williamstown, Mass., offered to give the town $10,000 for the improvement of the roads, providing the latter raises $50,000 for the same purpose. Mr. Proctor makes the gift because he believes that better roads would iycrease the popularity of Williamstown as a summer resort He recently had the stone hill road put in excellent condition at a cost of $500. The town furnished the drainage pipes and permitted Mr. Proctor to use the road scraper. The Secret of a uoou noaa. A hard surface, well rounded so that the water will run off quickly, is the secret of a good road. Attention after a road is once permanently built is imperative so that the washed out places and depressions where water stands may be repaired. A little timely work will keep a road in good shape. Civilization and Good Roada. There Is perhaps < no better test of the life of a civilization than that to be found in the extent and character , of its public highways. The degree of perfection of country roads corresponds closely to the degree of civilization where the roads are situated. SiiiKinir Convention.

How to Economifc on the Cse of Coal?Bulldingr I''lres. One of the most fruitful sources of v?n?ni.Al/1 urncto nnH ("vtnvitmindo ta JLU/ua*JiJvriw ?? iwvx. -c?X.V the coal bin, and tons of fuel are used where a single one would give the 6ame results. Open drafts and a range full to the covers of glowing coals not only burn a needless amount of coal, but burn out the range at the same time. A shovelful of coal or sufficient to lightly cover the fire will accomplish as much as a half scuttleful, excepting in the Increase of the coal man's trade. Fdr a small range nut coal is best; for a large one, small egg coaL Red ash coal makes a hotter fire, -with fewer cinders, than the white ash, and the latter burns more slowly. For these reasons an equal mixture of the two is a wise economy. The ashes taken from the fire should never be thrown Into the can until they are sifted. The cinders thus obtained can ho ncori nn thp fire at times when the greatest heat is not needed. But they should always be added after the fresh coal is well aglow. A third of a cupful of kerosene with which to saturate the kindling and coal before putting it in the range will facilitate the housemaid's morning work, whether or not the Are has been kept overnight Kerosene should never, however, be poured directly into a stove, either from the cup or can. The best way is to lay the wood on a shovel and cover it there with the oil and then add a sprinkling to a shovelful of coal. Many housekeepers Insure their kitchens against accident from this cause by leaving a part of a cupful of oil for the servant's use and locking the rest in the storeroom. A handful of-sugar will revive aD expiring Are as quickly as will kerosene, but happy the housewife whose maid is ignorant of the fact. This accounts in many cases for the rapid disappearance of the kitchen sugar sup ply.

Can Boast of Some of the Beat Road* In the World?The Employment ol Convicts on the Highways of North Carolina. Among the many interesting and valuable articles published in a recent number of Harper's Weekly was the following on highway improvement in the south: One of the most important, but least conspicuous, movements in the new south is that being made in behalf of good country roads. About lifteen years ago there was a general revival of interest in the building of country roads, and now many communities in the south have systems of roads of which they justly feel proud. tiTen rvorxii t^arunuii, iuug uivwu aa the Rip Van Winkle of the southern states, has at last awakened and is giving lessons to the outside world In the construction of good roads. It is 33 """ '^j. HA GAD A ill ZED BOAD IN NOBTH CABOUNA. ' ' tr do exaggeration to say that the roads of Mecklenburg county, N. C, are the best to be found in the entire south. - /.?* The county of Mecklenburg is near , the South Carolina line, and is pierced ! by that division of the Southern rall| road which extends from Washington ' to Atlanta. The county seat is Charlotte, a progressive city of thirty thou| sand inhabitants. Within a radius , of one hundred miles of this city thero are three hundred cotton factories, comprising more than half of the spindies and looms operated in the south. 1 In 1890 the authorities of the county . conceived the idea of utilizing the conI victs for the improvement of the pub- * pi lie roads. Instead of locking up of- . /ffl ! fenders in the county Jail or sending them to the penitentiary It was decfelj ed to employ them at home in impravI ing the highways.' A law was passed authorizing the use of convicts for [ this purpose. The convicts were or* ( rroni'zort into a Knflfld or ramn. Dlaced j under the control of a competent su- j ; , pervisor and engineer, and the work ; of grading, straightening and macad* j | f amizing the roads was begun. A short ; ' , experience demonstrated that the con- j ^ | vict laborers cost the county only 25. \ cents per day per head. Including food, ] ' lodging, clothing and overseeing.. A , The outfit for the road work, con- j sisting of a steam roller, crusher, bins, ' portable engine, road machine and a | screen for assorting the rocks, cost j about $5,000. At present the county 3 has In operation two road outfits and 3 employs about sixty convicts with each outfit The total expenditure in /s j constructing each mile of macadam- / j Ized road 1? from $1,600 to $2,500,. ] not including bridges. In summer the convicts live In tents along the road, and in winter they live In barracka. The rock used for the roads Is bought' , from the farmers, who haul and depoa t it it at iue cxiii v hjl uii-u y. i 5 These roads have been In process of j ^ 'V j construction for twelve years at the j rate of about ten miles per year. At ] r present there are more than 100 miles I , of macadamized roads In the county. j f The roads radiate In all directions from j j the center of Charlotte and extend ten J jf or fifteen miles to the county limits, j 3 The roads of this county have become a bo famous that delegations from many " other states have come here to ln^ct ' them. . I Many good roads organizations exist , _ J-? In the south. Professor J. A. Holmes j I of the University of North Carolina i r has traveled In many states, giving 11- j . lustra ted lectures on road construc- j3 tlon and organizing good roads clubs. ; j His campaign has borne much fruit, ; 3 and the south can now boast of some ! . of the best and most picturesque roada in the whole world. -j Necuiltr For Drainage. ? 1 In the Improvement of earth roads 7 one very important essential often i, overlooked is the necessity for drain- ! 3 age to carry off the surplus water be7 fore Jt can soak into the surface, says ? Good Roads Magazine Good roa^s f can be constructed even in a prairie - country, and by the adoption of improved methods Immediate recovery 3 from the effects of heavy rains may be 3 insured. Tile draining is very effece tive, and with even a shallow dressing of crushed stone or gravel on the surface of an earth road wonderful improvement can be secured. j 3 Should Last For Ages. 1 There is no reason in the world why ^ a road should not last for ages if it is built of good material and kept in propo er repair. If this is not done, the moiiey spent is more than wasted.' If'is 6 more economical, as a rule, to bring good materials a long distance by rail or water than to employ inferior onies procured close at hand. 1 li J Serviceable For Country Roads. 3 Burned gumbo is a very serviceable y material for use on country roads.
