The toad Inquiry divlaluo of tbo do
partmout of agriculture was organizod
nuder tbo direction of . General Boy
Stooo and has continued the education
al work 011 the subject of roads by meaui
of bulletins issued from time to time
and by the construction of sample roads
in different parts of the United States.
Tho first of these sample roads was
completed at New Brunswick, N. J.,
last J una The second was started at
Geneva, N. Y., and is by far the lon
gest yet built Others ore planned, in
courHo of construction or completed at

Tbo saniplo rood at Goneva was plan
ned last spring. The original estimate
of its cost was 0,000uf whioh the vil
luge contributed (3,000, the township
3,000 and residents of Castle street,
in which tho road is laid, 3,000. The
government furnished free of charge tbo
roadbuilding plant, consisting of a rock
crusher of a-enpoeity of 160 tens of
broken rock in a ten hour day, one set
of screens, ono rond grader, two dis
tributing carts and one 30 ton road
roller. The government alsufurnished
the special agent in oharge, whilo the
villafo and town furnished material
and labor. .
Tho sample road as constructed is
about miles in leugih. For the first
half milo the roadway is 18 feet wide
and 8 inches deep, tho 8 inches consist
ing of a foundation of '6 inches of broken
field stone with a surfacing of 8 inches
of broken trap rock. Tor the next three
aunrters of a mile tho roadway is 14
feet wide and 0 inches deep,- while the
final quarter of n mile is 8 . feet wide
and 0 inches deep. The first portion is
a saniplo of a macadamized village
stroet, the second is a first class coun
try road for general use, in thickly in
habited sections, whilo the third is
weapbut'""Borvioeablorroadfor
moro thinly inhabited regions. None of
these is suitable for the heavy trucking
of cities. On each side of these sample
sections is on ordinary dirt road thor
oughly rolled, intended for light driv
ing in dry weather. :
Tbo road is machino imilt through
out, comparatively little-human labor
being used. Tho most important ma
chino is the roller, which may be used'
either as a road roller or as a perambu
lating pickax. When it is to be pot to
the latter use, its two rear wheels, each
6 feet in diameter and 18 inobes wide,
are fitted with 60 case hardened steel
teeth B inches in length. Tho wheels
make a revolution every ten seconds,
and in a ten hour day do on amount of
work equivalent to that performed by
600 men with picks. After the old road
bad been torn up by tbis machine tho
loosened material was scraped to one
side by the grader. When a snfflolent
depth had been reached, the new but
fooo was thoroughly rolled in order to
form the base of the new road. On tbis
baso was then laid the five inch founda
tion oourse of oominou field rock. The
foundation rook is of all grades of hard
ness aub? friability, and includes shales,
standstones, limestones, quartzitos and
granites. It was broken to a sine about
inches square. The foundation was
sprinkled and thoroughly rolled, tbo
machine passing over it a score of times.
The surfacing oourse of broken trap
rock was then laid, thoroughly sprla
Mod and rolled.
When the road engineers first visited
Geneva, they said that a large propor
tion of the ordinary rocks of the field
were suitublo for the surface layer of
the road. Closer examination of the
rook piles showed that it would require
an expert sorter to select tbe material
which could 'be used. Accordingly it
was deckled as a matter of economy to
use trap rock from the HndsoH lilgli
lands for all tbe surfacing. Trap rock is
said to be superior to most other rocks
for surfacing because it Is not friable
or dust forming. Tbe trad rock was
crushed to tbo proper rise at tbe quar
ries and hauled to Geneva in canal
boats. The size , is somewhat smaller
than that used for tbe foundation.
Above the . surfacing was added a very
thin layer of trap rock dust, to act as a
cushion,, protecting tbe underlying
stone from the action of wheeled vehi
cles and tbe feet of animals from tbe
cutting action of the stone. The value
of tbis dust filling is increased by the
small quantity of moisture added from
time to time By means" of a sprinkling
cart After being laid tbe dust layer
was heavily sprinkled and rolled for
several days. The constant rolling
forces the rocks into' close contact and
holds them there. The sprinkling In
creases tbe ease with which tbe angu
lar pieces slip past each other. Tbey
grind together and form nearly per
feet union when the 0 ton roller moves
over them. When tbeso angular pieces
are rubbed together in tbis way, a small
portion of tbe surface of each Is ground
into dust. - When this dust contains
little clay, it becomes valuable as a ce
ment or bond to bold tho larger pieces
of rock together. . ' -
To increase the educational value of
tbe work, two days of each weak.
Wednesday and Thursday, were desig-,
listed as visiting days, when special at
tention was given to everyone interest-!

LOSS BY BAD ROADS.
FELT BY, EVERY INDUSTRY IN THE
UNITED STATES.
Improved Highway Would Be ProOtabls
In Many Ways Merchant, ifeohanlr
and Par mar Have an Interest la This
Queatloo Average Coat Per Kile.
The eoonomlo ' importance of good
roads has been demonstrated by star
tling statistics. It has been shown that
the traction force required v to move
3,000 pounds at a speed of three miles
nn boar over a level road 01 iron, as
phalt, loose gravel and eoft sand is re
spectively 8, 17, 830 and 448 pounds.
Prom this stutement it may easily be
inferred bow costly bad roads are. Iron
nnd asphalt are mentioned for the sake
of ..comparison. Tbey could not, M
course, be used as tho constructive mtf
terials of country roads. But the differ
ence between poor and good roads is so
great that the team which can only
draw one ton on ther former will, ac
cording to the character of tbo improve
ment, haul from three to five tons on
the latter. v "
Tbo improvement of our highways
'would bo variously profitable, Now
farmers lose many days in the year
-waiting; for cood weather and dry roads.
But tbe support of men and animals is
as expensive when they are idle as
when they are engaged in lucrative-work.-With
good roods the farmers
uoed never lose any time. In wet
weather, when they could not work on
the land, they could carry their prod
ucts to market No rains would compel
tbem to spend valuable time in idle
ness.' Independent of climate, they
ooold deliver their produce whenever it
suited their convenience or enabled
them to secure higher prices. Foul and
fair weather would be equally profit
able. -
- The utilization of stormy days would
prevent losses from idleness and enable
farmers to avail themselves of tbe high
est rotes which tbo market ever offers.
Perishable fruits cannot await favorable
conditions of weather or of roads. If
they are not sold at maturity, tbey of
ten become a total loss. Farmers, dis
heartened by such losses, nro unwilling
to raise crops which, with better means
Of .transportation. . would . be . Yory re
munerative. Therefore tho occasional
inability of cultivators to market their
perishable products at tbe right time
deprives thorn, of a fruitful source of
profit -
It takes a much longer time and re
quires a far greater tractive force to
haul light loads over bad roods than it
would to draw heavy loads over good
roads. Tbe unnecessary strains to which
bud roads subject teams, harnesses and
wagons ore very wearing. Bough usago
seriously injures tbe farmer's equip
ment Improved highways would pre
vent avoidable depreciation of property
and inoreaso tbe gains of producers.
The experience of other sections roo
om mends the construction of two roads
side by side, one of earth and the otbor
of stone or gravel. Each road would
prolong the life of. the other. In dry
weather tbe dirt rood would be used,
because it would be easier for the feet ;
of the draft animals. In wet, spells the
use of tbe rook road would prevent the
injuries which travel would then inflict
upon the dirt road. In tho longest rains
one good highway would always bo
available. In fair weather the larmers
could take their choice of a stone or
earth road. The nso of wide tires would
lessen tbe cost and frequency of repairs.
It is hardly worth while to build a
few good highways. Systems of roads
should bo improved at the same time.
A draft wacou, ligbt enough to bo used
on muddy roods, could not avuil itself
of the full advantage of a root road.
Tbe wagons used on hard roads weigh
from 3,600 to 8,000 pounds, and they
carry loads of three or four tons, . Such
wagons could not be employed on soft
roads. They would sink Into tbe mud
and reauire as much force to move them
as it would to haul ' their neavieat
freight on a gravel road Common and
im proved roads cannot be profitably
combined.'. What is fit for the one is not
suited to tbe other. Therefore tho main
and tributary highways of any district
should all be reoonstruoted at once.
It is estimated that the average cost of
good roads In tbe United States would bo
from $1,000 to $1,200 a mile. This, of
oourse. implies higher taxes, but the in
creased gains of agriculture will recon
cile farmers to their share of tbe bur
den. Tbe economy of time and labor,
the oonveyauoe of heavier loads, tbe
saving of perishable fruits, the morket-
ina: of mod acts when tbey will brinir
the highest prices sud the profitable
nse of rainy days are important advan
tages. To the gains derived from tbeee

ation of the lands through which good
roads run is estimated at 0 sn acre.
There is one instance of an exoeptiooal
rise of $88 per aero In tbe value of farm
land. As all tbe people of tho united
States participate in tbe benefits of good
roads; tbey should all bear tb-jir share
of tbe cost of construction and mainte
nance. As there is a 00m inanity of in
terests there should be an equality of
burdena,
Merchants and manufacturers are
deeply interested In good roads because

BEGGAR WEED.
It Is Said to Bxeel Oowpeas Both as
Bay Plant and a Soli Heaovator.
This, annual, which : bus recently
eome into cultivation, is a native of
Florida andjho West Indies. It is only
adaoted to tlie warmest parts of tbe
southern states, especially to Florida
and the country bordering on the gulf.
Florida beggar weed is closely related
to tho beggar wjeds, or beggar's lice,
of tbe eastern woodlands, but in its up.
right babit aud unbrunchiug stents re
sembles tbe prairie beggar weeds. On
rloh land the srowth is very rank. It
thrives on the lighter sandy soils and
rioh clays, growing from six to ten feet
hiub. nroducina a crcat bulK 01 nay or
of green muuure. Wherever tbe ground
bus once been seeded beggar weed grows
spontaneously durlug the month of
June. In cornfields it oomes up after
the lost cultivation. The seeds will not
germinate until the ground is warm, so
that this forage plant Is only adapted
to regions whers thpre is a long sum
mer season. ' It grows best in well cul
tivated lands, making as rank a growth
as the sunflowers along the creek bot
toms in Kansas aud Nebraska.
In from three to four months from
germination the plant has ripened seed
and may bo plowed under, adding a
large amount of organic matter to the
soil and at tho same time reseeding tbe
fiold. Where beggar weed is not spon
taneous tbe seed should be sown broad
cast at tho rate of li to 18 pounds per
acre and covered lightly. A thick -seeding
is better for bay than a thin one, as
hi tbe latter case tbo stems become
coarse, woody uud indigestible.
According to auulj sos of beggar weed
made at the Florida experiment station,
100 pounds of bay consisting of the up
per portion of the plant mainly loaves
and branches, contained, before maturl
ty, 19.43 pounds of crude protein and
65 pounds of carbohydrates, and when
seed was ripening, 15.75 pounds of
crude protein and 01). 15 ponuds of car
bohydrates. Analyses at the department
of agriculture gave as high as 21 per
cent of crude protein beforo flowering.
Digestion experiments have not been
made, but as tbe bay is readily eaten
by horses, mules and cattle, and seems
to be relished by thorn it is undoubted
ly as digeatiblo as rod clover. This
plant, like other legumes, takes a part
of its supply 01 uitrogen from the air
and does not depend wholly on the hi
trrttos in tbe soil. It produces a greater
bulk of feed than tbo cowpea and grows
without much care on cultivated lands,
but rapidly degenerates into an insig
nificant weed if the field is no longer
cropped.
The department of agriculture, au
thority for the facts hero given, pro
nounces beggar weed one of the most
valuable forage plants of subtropical
regions on rich lauds, excelling oowpeas
both as a hay plant and soil renovator.
Yiolds of from four to six tons of bay
per acre aro not unusual.
Linseed Meal, Etc.
Linseed meal is tho ground residue
remaining from the flaxseed after tlie
oil has been removed Tbe larger port
of the flaxseed used In this country Is
grown in North and South Dakota and
in Minnesota. Tbe seeds of tho flux
plant contain in their natural state
from 80 to 5 per cent of oil. Twenty
to 28 per cent of the oil of the seed is
removed by worm pressure. This oil is
known as linseed oil, and alter being
refined is used in tbe preparation of
paints, varnishes, printers' ink or in
tho manufacture of soap. Tbe pressed
cake remaining is dried, cracked and
ground and furnishes the old process
linseed meal.

HOUDAN CHARACTERISTICS.
A Fowl Which Appeals te Both Vaaelen
and Markstmen. .;
It will be many a day before out
French friends send ns a better oil
round fowl than the Boudan. As a
utility fowl, a fowl for egg and meat
production or for cross breeding, it ii
better than somo breeds and inferior to
none. As a fancier's fowl it is worth
our best attention, for while it breeds
very fairly true, it is difficult to pro
duce a first rate bird, and it requires
considerable judgment sud skill to show
nnd keep in tiptop condition.
Tbo Iloudan nowadays is more fixed
in type and points than It used to be,
or, ratlier, tbe ideal of tbe breeder has
been definitely settled and generally Ac
cepted. Tho term "leaf oonib" conveys
a definite meaning. Tbe crest must be
large, and, above all, "smooth" that
is, the feathers must all trond in the
same direction. The body should bo
large and massive, back broad, breast
bone long and deep, giving a" broad and
full cbost Black and white are the
colors, and no other color should appear.
There should be more black than white,
and the black should be the green,
glossy block, not a dull, rusty shade.
The Rxmdon is a mottled or spangled
bird. Tbis mottling is produced by
white tips on tbe ends of block feathers,
and should be Nattered evenly all over
the bird. Such markings usually show
more white than black after each molt.
Consequently chickens are permitted to
wear a darker suit of feathers than their
parents. AH tbe same, some strains vary
very little after molting. I am perhaps
rafter singular in preferring those glossy
nOUDAN COCKKI1EL.
green dark birds, evenly and slightly
mottled with white, just as if a black,
bird had run through a snow shower,
but to my mind tbey aro handsomer
than the lighter colored ones, which aro
really when closely examined white
birds mottlod with black. .
With tho darker oolor of featherwe
undoubtedly have got a darker color of
log and foot, which we don't want Tbe
Dorking has bad much to do with tbe
making of the Iloudan. Wo see It iu tbe
type of body, in the five toes, In tbe
white skin and juicy flesh, and we
should try to preserve the wblto legs,
mottled though tbey may be with black.
We have none too many bordy fowls
running about on light colored or mot
tlod legs, and as the iloudan Is a hardy
fowl It shonld be a point in Its favor
if it can be bred with tho same perfec
tion of head and body, with dark liued
plumage and yet with light colored legs.
The Iloudan improves with ago. Its
points only fully develop after a molt
or two, so chickens have little chance
in competition with adults. On the
other hand, it must bo recorded that as
the chickens usually alter very much
in color after molting tbe hopeful ex
pectations based on a youngster's per.
formanco are often unfulfilled in the fu
ture. Tbo Iloudan can by no means rank
as a neglected breed It bos too many
friends for that In this country, who,
on account of its excellent attributes.
gallantly stick to Jt through thick
and thin. Moreover, it offers a splendid
opening for' the enterprising breeder of
created poultry, aud I strongly com
mend 'it to tbe care of those fanciers
who have a partiality for this peculiar

There is an advantage in having a

I wish to call the attention of insurers in Alamance county
to tho fact that the Burlington Insurance Agency, established in
1893 by tho lato firm of Tate & Albright, is still in the ring.
There id no insurance agency in North Carolina with better
facilities for placing large linos of insurance, that can give low
er rates or better indemnity. Only first-class mpenjea, in every
branch of the business, find a lodgement in my office. With
a practical experience of more than ten years, I feel warranted
in soliciting a share of the local patronage. I guarantee full
satisfaction in every instance. Correspondence solicited upon
all matters pertaining to insurance. . .
I am making a specialty of Life Insurance and , wiUlmake
it to (he interest of all who desire protection for their families
or their eirtatea, or who wish to make absolutely safe and profit
able investment, to confer with mo before giving their applica
tions lo other agents. - --''
