DUST PROBLEM IS I GROWINGRAPIDLY flnoctinn a Trnnhlosnmfi flnn yUWVJIIVII U IIVUMIVVVIIIV Wliv In All Sections. ??? GOVERNMENT HAS REPORT. Various Binders For Different Kinds of Surfaces Are Studied by the Office of Roads and Means Suggested For Remedying Country Wide Evil. The question of dust on the roads at this season of the year Is a trouble some one. and on tbe solution or tills problem and its study the office of public roads, Washington, recently made an interesting report. Concerning the means of overcoming the dust evil the report says: "The dust problem as it stands today seems to be oj>en to two methods of attack?first, by applying materials to the road which will bold down the dust formed and, second, by methods of construction designed to reduce the formation of dust and therefore the wear of the road to a minimum. Dust prevention has so far been mainly con fined to tbe treatment of old macadam surfaces, and many preparations have appeared on the market during the last few years for which great claims have been made. "There are also two general methods of preventing dust on finished surfaces ?first, keeping down tbe dust formed on the road and, second, reducing Its formation to a minimum. With this classification in mind, a corresponding division of dust preventives may be made, and tbe different materials may be classed as temporary binders aDd permanent binders. It will be found that this classification readily lends itself to a logical comparison of tbe relative merits of the different materials when considered in regard to their application and suitability for differeut kinds of roads as well as to various conditions of traffic and climate. Tbe essential requisite for any dust pre-1 ventlve is its nincung power, or, iu oiuer words. Its power of holding together the fine material produced on the surface of the road. In order to keep down the dust the temporary binders from their very nature will, of course, have to be applied with more or less frequency according as their properties approach those of the permanent bind era. The term 'permanent' as here considered is only relative and applies to those materials which, upon one ap ^SBkHW JBK1B||BWH?BBK?WBBMB A ROAD THAT NEEDS A GOOD DC3T BINDER. plication, are capable of appreciably reducing tbe formation of dust for at least one season. ?ater, sau solutions, certain light oils and tars and oil and tar emulsion." constitute tbe first class, wbile tbe heavier oils, tars, semisolid and solid materials represent tbe second class. ? "It is undoubtedly true that thou| gauds of do, ars are wasted annually in a repetition of experiments which have time aud again proved costly mistakes. On the other band, experiments . which have given good results in some J places have also proved failures when tried in differeut localities, it is necessary. therefore, not only that the ex-j perience of others be considered, but that some thought be given to the probable effect of local conditions upon the < results obtained elsewhere. "In many Instances tbe selection of a dust preventive may be influenced by a combination of conditions which would be impossible to foresee except in Individual cases. Sometimes a choice of preventives may seem to be equally ? divided among a number of materials, and experiments alone will determine which. If any, la the most suitable. In many cases the experimenter Is handicapped by lack of funds, so that the most suitable material cannot always be obtained. In these cases a lees suit* able material will have to be employed, ? although In the long run this will often prove more costly. Except In rare Instances economy Is the most Important point to be considered, and while - permanency of results is often synonymous with economy it is not always so. "Amon? the permanent dust preventives coal tar and the asphaltic or semiaspliaitj.* oils are the only ones ; which can be used under ordinary con- | ditions on account of expense. In the case of hard roads a choice of these two materials will exist, but In treat Id? soft runds oils only have so rar proved successful. ^ "The choice between oil HDd tar for \ use on a rural macadam road will deHjmp pend upon several conditions. The first of these would ordinarily be the relaftve cost at the given location. Other factors, such j.s relative quality of the available materials, climatic conditions. conditions of the road, character of the road treated, etc., should be carefully considered." BETTER BUSINESS AN3 GOOD ROADS Modern Methods of Building Are Now Essential. FARMER KING OF COUNTRY. Yet Without Good Road* the Agriculturist Cannot Take Advantage of the Best Markets For His Produce at All Seasons of the Year. The primary source of wealth in our agricultural states is the farm products. The margin of profit on farm products is largely affected by the relative distance to market and the conditions of the wagon roads. Without railroads the value of most farm land would n<?t exceed one-quarter of what It is today. Wagon roads are the connecting links between the farms and the railroads, and with good roads the farmer can take advantage of the best market at all times. Every one that uses roads should be interested in having good roads. How cud they be made? Shall we continue to make them by the primitive methods used by our forefathers, or shall we adopt modern methods? Obsolete, impractical, inefficient and most expensive methods are. in most places in use. Roadmaklng in general has not kept pace with most other in 'r< ' * I I A SPLENDID EXAMPLE OF EARTH ROAD. dustries in the use of practical and efficient labor saving devices. The old way of working roads on a day too wet to plow corn or harvest, putting a few sluslierfuls of earth in the middle of the road in heaps like a diminutive mountain range aud leaving them to be leveled by the elements of nature and use, should be abandoned. Road work should be placed iu the bands of competent workmen that work contin uously during the suitable season with a practical power roadmaklng equipment. With this ten times as much first class road can be made and finish* ed as where old methods are used with the same amount of money. This plan j works no hardship on the farmer. He is the kiug of the country and has ! onmiph to <1r? on lils farm without j working roads. A modern roadmaking outfit can be operated with three men at a cost of from $lo to $20 per day, says a writer in the Iowa Homestead, and will make a mile of finished road as smooth as a pared street. This Includes the making of open ditches on the sides from one foot to four feet deep, at the pleasure of the operator. Earth roads should hare a slope each way from the center of about threequarters of an inch to the foot on level or nearly level places; on hills it may be less. If depressions are left they hold water, and everything that touches these places makes them larger. The supreme thing is to keep the roadbed dry. thus lessening the bad effects of frost and the cost of upkeep. Scientific roadmaklng preserves as | much as possible the primitive condition of the ground?that is. In grading I the road one should uot plow It up like a field, but displace dnly what earth ! is necessary to bring the road to the proper grade and side slope. In observing these matters years are saved In making a perfect roadbed. Earth roads are the most delightful of all roads when well graded and free from dust All well graded roads can be wonderfully Improved and the upkeep lessened one-half by covering the top with a touting of about two Inches of sharp sand and clay in which may be mixed half crushed stone that will go through a one Inch mesh. If sand and clay are used, mix In the proportion of 80 per cent of sand and 20 per cent of clay. If crushed stone is used, mix it half and half with the sand and clay mixture. This coating should be sprend on and harrowed and rolled until it Is thoroughly mixed and packed so as to fill all the voids, and then it will shed the water like a roof and keep your roadbed dry. In half an hour after a hard rain you will have a good road. This can be improved by sprinkling with a mixture made ot ?rude petroleum In the proportion of < ne barrel of oil to three barrels ot water emulsified with the soluble part ?>r cream of clay.
