OIL IN ROABMAKING.
j W. H.
MOORE ON THIS METHOD OF
IMPROVING HIGHWAYS.
He Sara a Road Thn. Treated la Al
mot a. Good a Macadam How the
Oil I. Applied and Cut of the
Work Shed, the Water.
While in Chanute, Kan., recently
W. H. Moored president of the National
Good Roads association, said that oil
makes almost as good a road as
macadam. "It Is a mystery to me," be
said,' "that the people of this and other
counties In the oil belt should have
been bo long content to see their roads
; going to ruin.. Wherever oil has been
tried on a road it has been successful.
1 The oil road is very simple in construc
tion. The earth is piled on the road
bed. It Is then rolled, and after that
a harrow is run lightly over it. The
oil is then put on by sprinkling wagons
. 'exactly as the streets are sprinkled.
. Effective results have been secured
from oil at a temperature of 295 de
grees K., and tills can be always ob-

tained by putting a gasoline burner or
a series of gasoline burners under the
wagon.
- "After the oil is on the road should
be again rolled and two or three days
elapse before teams are permitted to
use it. By that time the oil will have
seeped through, and the surface of the
roall will be almost as hard and smooth
as an asphalt road. As time goes on
the road becomes better. Then it.
forms a kind of cement which welds
the fine particles of sand into a solid
mass and keeps it firm. In the alkali
soil of the southwest and the Pacific
coast oil is peculiarly effective for road
material because the lime furnishes a
necessary ingredient of the cement
"For the first sprinkling 250 barrels
of oil to the mile are required. The
quality of the oil is not Important, ex
cept that it- has been the experience of
road builders Ittiat heavy oil or fuel oil
is more desirable than light or high
grade oil. There are more asphaltum and
coal tar in the heavy oil, and these are
very desirable. A ne,w road ought to ha
sprinkled twice In the first year, once
in the spring when it is built and again
In the fall before the rainy season.
"The second sprinkling need not be
more than eighty barrels to the mile.
After that once a year is often enough
to oil the roads, and from eighty barrels
to ninety barrels a mile Is enough oil to
keep the road In perfect condition. It
will be seen that the cost of the oil road
is very much less than the cost of the
macadam road. Oil can be had here, I
understand, for less than 50 cents a
barrel. Of course the earth costs noth
ing. The. rest Is a question of teams, a
roller, a harrow and a sprinkling wag
on. A mile of macadamized road costs
i- from $1,500 to $1,000. A mile of or
road should be built for $ 800 or Jl.oou
at the moat. '. -
"An oil road sheds water like a
duck's back.. One hour after a hard
rain it Is dry. It is as Impervious as a
waterproof coat, and thereby the dam
age from washouts In case of floods Is
minimized. Besides, there is an entire
absence of dust. The road with very
little care can be kept as clean as the
Darlor floor it home. One economy in
the handling of oil roads is that one
-f man can look after several miles of it
They stand the heaviest traffic with lit
tie wear and tear. Whenever there is a
rut all you have to do is to put In some
I earth, run the roller pver It, sprinkle It
I niih iu hnt All find von have a smooth

surface again.
; "The first oil road built In this coun-
try was In 1S93, in Keokuk, la., tinder
my supervision. We followed the meth
! od I have described, in the constrac-
tlon of one mile. John D. Rockefeller
' gave the oil. Although the sprinkling
1 we rave It was the only one the road
I tret had, It remained in good condition
for two or three years, ana now, aiier
the lapse of twelve years, it la the best
earth road in the county. Had the road
In Keokuk received proper attention it
would be almost as good today as an
asohalt street.
"In the California oil fields there are
several miles of oiled roads. The sys
tem' Is growing in California. Aa yet,
despite the enormous oil production in
Kansas, there has not oeen connrw-ieu,
to my knowledge, a foot of oiled road

SHEEP FOR THE FARM.
!.hropahlre Breed I. t'nBurp.eeed for
General Excellence.
The Shropshire breed of sheep stands
unsurpassed as an all around farmer's
Bheep adapted to all conditions, write
correspondent of Shepherd's Crite
rion. Not only la the Shropshire a
farmer's sheep, but it is the rich man's
sheep also. They keep them on their
large farms because of their beauty and
prolificacy. The Shropshire is the uni -
versal breed. It is found in large num
bers in England, Ireland, Scotland, the
United States, Canada and almost ev
erywhere known to sheep growers,
Everywhere ' Shropshire rams are
used to grade up the common class of
ewes. And whj is this so? It Is be
cause they have proved themselves to
be the most profitable. Shropshire,
are also very profitable when raised In
pure bred flocks. The ewes of this
breed drop a large number of lambs
and nurse them well, and as soon as
the lambs are partly matured ready
sale at good prices for them la imme
diately found. The ranchmen buy
Shropshire rams by the car load, a very
large majority of the smaller sheep
growers use Shropshire rams, and when
you get the exceptionally good ones
there are plenty of pure bred breeders
willing to pay yon well for your prod'
uct.
The fleece of the Shropshire sells at a
very high figure. The Shropshire pro
duces the highest priced mutton that
goes on to the market. Time and time
again have grade Shropshire Iambs top
ped the Chicago and other leading mar
kets. At the leading shows, such as
the International, held at Chicago,
Shropshire wethers have always car
ried away a large portion of the lau
rels for champion mutton; hence a
very profitable sheep adapted to most
all conditions and most all people.
Fattening Old Cow.
The cheapest way to fatten old cows
Is to turn them dry, let them snmmer
on grass, giving them a few pumpkins
and a little green corn and fodder,
sweet corn preferably. If not' too oid
they will get quite fat at small cost. It
does not pay to let cows get old and
broken down unless they have been
valuable as breeders. Cor, Breeder's
Gazette.
A Good Horse.
Individual excellence is the first req
uisite of a good horse. If a horse has
not the qualities to speak for himself.
all the pedigrees that could be written
ought not to be able to sell him.
Farmers Advocate.
THE UGLY OCTOPUS.
It I. One of the Hott Bepalalve aad
Hldeona of Creatore.
A greedy, voracious, relentless crea
ture is the octopus, and a most formi
dable enemy even to man, for it Is easier
to cut or tear off one of those terrible
long arms with its two rows of suck
ers than to induce the creature to re
linquish any prey it bos laid hold of.
These dockers also enable it to drag
Its body Into very narrow crevices,
from which scarcely any force will
avail to remove it.
Like Its beautiful brother the argo
naut, It defies its enemies by ejecting
Ink, but the octopus Is so subtle ana
clever that he can vary the color of his
Ink according to the color of the ground
be is passing over, and, as he is very
active and darts about at lightning
speed, be constantly escapes being
caught.
He Is an unsociable creature, appar
ently quite satisfied with bis own so
ciety, as be roams about alone, seeking
what he may devour on rocky shores,
where be may be met with of all sizes,
varying in leugtb from an inoh to two
or more feet
The octopus has one very curious
habit when resting he coils up some
of his arms Into a semblance of the
shell of the argonaut Pearson's Week

POINTS TO CONSIDER.
flood Road. Wonld Bring-' 04,
. Sehoole Other Advantage.,
"To my mind there are greater ad
Tantages than money .to be derived
from good roads," said a speaker at a
recent Kansas good roads convention.
"We pay for an education for the
youths of our land, but allow bad roads
' to prevent the children from getting
: the advantages. When you shall have
covered this state with a system of
good roads it will be found more prof
itable to gather the children together
at central points, where graded schools
give a chance for a higher education.
"Every child should be compelled
to ride the round trip every day that
school to In session. The small school
abolished would pay the expenses of
the free delivery of the children at the
schools and leave a surplus to help sup
port the central school. Teachers of
splendid attainments would take the
place of the present country teacher,
"The people of this country are all
being taxed to support free rural deliv
ery of mall, and It la said that in some
cases doing away with postofflce, as
In the case of country schools, has
made free delivery . a saving, and,
whether it does or not, we want our
share, as we must do the paying. Life
in the country would be different with
daily papers and mail at our doors.
"The families of wealth are com
pelled to remain In the city on account
of not wishing to take the children out
of school. They would live on the farm
at any time they chose, as. the children
would be carried to school and back
again, while the head of the family
could go back and forth at will, 'thus
creating business for power lines. Our
people In the country would have a
chance to bear a good sermon in the
dry, attend the theater, trade or visit
friends, and life on the farm would be
come an ideal one. There would-be
no complaint of people wanting
leave the farm, but people of means
would all have summer homes in the
country, while those of moderate means
would leave the tenement bouse, buy
a few acres on some of the power lines
and make for themselves a home of
love, comfort and plenty.
"The man of moderate means, the
worklngman, would own his few acres
and have bis cow, chickens, garden,
etc., where each child would In some
way help in the support of the family
and acquire habit more valuable than
such a child to liable to In the city."

In his annual report Henry A. Van
Alstyne, state engineer of New York,
pays particular attention to highway
imorovement which he considers of
equal Importance with canal work,
The building of these road by state
aid has been in progress, since 1808,
during which time there have been re
ceived petitions for the Improvement
of 6,000 miles of roads in fifty counties.
Acting upon these petitions, survey
have been made and plana have been

of roads located In thirty counties,
Of these there have been put under

Wealth Does
Not Injure
By LYMAN J. CACB,
g 'Secretary of the
United State. Treeeury
F ona ia believer
XejaSasBaeBaBS
inquire why the good things in life ahould be divided
In such a partial manner. Wrong opinions give the
mind ft twist and affect the sentiment, and there have
been teachers and philosophers who said that the
peasesalon of property is robbery. Tolstoi has said
that no one has ft right to anything that he has not produced by his
own hand, and ft more modern man, ft preacher, has said that NO
MAN ACQUIRES A MILLION DOLLARS HONESTLY.
That sounds first rate for people who have not million. That is the
question I want to consider. There is ft preliminary question, and
that is, "How is wealth produced and how i it rightfully divided I"
We know all wealth comes from the earth and is increased by
labor and that capital provides
ftnd capital are, therefore, JOINTLY INTERESTED in produc
tion, land pays rent; labor gets wages and capital profit. This
division is made naturally enough and not by convention, agreement
or law,
' .. ! t
We see certain persons accumulating wealth, and we call them
capitalists. We see laborers going along the even tenor of their way.
