BY C. A. EDWARDS.
WASHINGTON, January 29.—There 1"
nothing that more Interests the farmers
cf this country than good roads, and trie
office of public roads of the department
of agriculture Is doing some excellent
work building object lesson roads. Objtct
lesson roads are constructed for the pur-
pose of demonstrating practical lessons
of road building and to give elementary
instruction to local road builders. That
office supplies, at government expense,
one or more engineers for the purpose of
making r.etessary surveys, estimates and
specifications, supervising construction
and giving theoretical Instructions. whHa
the local authorities are required to fur-
nish necessary machinery, materials, la-
bor. teams, etc. The object lesson roads
constructed lit Texas are as follows:
NEAR TAYLOR.
The constiuctlon of the gravel road at
Taylor, Texas, which was built of gumbo
soil, was started on June 10, 1908, and
completed on August 23, 1908. The road
extends a distance of 3094 feet from Fifth
street in the direction of Clrclevllle. Six-
teen hundred and one feet were surfaced
to a width of sixteen feet with four feet
shoulders, while the remaining distance
was surfacc-d to a width of twenty-tw.)
feet with two-foot shoulders. The con-
struction cf the culverts and end wail3
requited materials as follows:
T wontv cubic yards of concrete, .Jo
pounds of reinforcing Iron bars, 188 board
feet of timber for forms. 188 feet of 12-
Inch tile, 110 feet of 10-inch tile; S4 feet of
12-inch corrugated steel pipe and 24 i'e.;t
of 15-Inch corrugated steel pipe. Lo?rl
authorlt es furnished a 12-ton steam 'oi-
ler. 11 pumy: wagons, a 20-horse powe
traction tnglne, a road grader, grading
plow, slips and wheel scrapers. The
grade varied from the level of 3 68-100 per
tent. At a cost of 25 cents per cubic
yard 2645 cubic yards of earth were ex-
•'.vatp'l, vuh an average haul of 600 feet.
Tor the surfacing 678 cubic yards of urn
gravel, containing a lar^ portion or
lime, together with 60 cuSic yards of
crushed rock were used. The average
haul from gravel pit to road was fire
j>n,l one-fourth miles, and this unus't-U
distance, which entailed an expense o.'
$1362.62, greatly increased the cost of
«onstruction. A foundation course five
inches thick of material under four
inc hes in size, was covered with a sec-
oi.'ri course of thlree-inch thick, of mate-
rial under two inches in size, and thus
grving a finished road after rolling seven
incurs thick. The total cost of the road,
including culverts, was $2626.47, or $6189
per mile. These figures are based on
labor at $1.50, teams at $3.50 per day, with
fuel at $8.27 per ton. The county com-
missioners have purchased a crushing
plant with a view of carrying on the
work of road improvement, they have
now at their disposal a complete road
building outfit.
AT BAY CITY.
An earth road 15,700 feet in length was
constructed at-Bay City, Texas, between
January 26 and March 3, 1909. The road
through a level section of country with a
heavy black gumbo soil. No grading
was necessary beyond that required to
shape the roadway and provide proper
drainage. Because of the level character
of the country considerable ditching was
necessary to secure good drainage. This
was the largest single Hem in the con-
struction and amounted to $795.77. while
the excavation proper amounted to
$369.74. Cross drains cost $154.44. These
figures are based on labor at $1.50 per
day and teams at $4 per day. The cost
of the road to the community was $1457.62,
which is at the rate of $490 per mile.
NEAR PARIS.
A length of 3716 feet of sand-clay road,
surfaced to a width of eighteen feet, was
constructed at Paris, Texas, between De-
cember 17, 1907, and January 22, 1909. Con-
siderable fill was required for bringing
the road to the proper grade. About 4«j
cubic yards of this required a haul of
2200 feet, which made the average cost
of fill in place of 40.248 per cubic yards.
The surfacing material was hauled in
slat-bottomed wagons with a capacity
of one cubic yard for an average distanc-3
of five-eighths of a mile at $0,248 per
cubic yard. The cost of loading the sur-
face material was $0.10 and of spreading
It $0,051 per cubic yard. The loose mate-
rial was placed eight Inchees deep at
the center and six inches deep at the
sides. After thorough mixing and rolling
this compacted to six and four and one-
half inches. A total of 1445 cubic yards
of surfacing material was used. Based
on labor at $1.50 per day and teams at
the cost of the improvement was J1120.67,
of which $64.56 was for drains. This Is
at the rate of $14 per square yard or
$1474 per mile.
OUT OF COLORADO.
On June 17, 1909, work was begun on a
sand-clay and gravel load at Colorado,
Texas, and on July 6, 1909, a total of 2400
feet had been graded to a depth of from
eight to eleven inches with a gravel and
sand-clay mixture. All excavation was
dona with plows and drag scrapers in a
soil which varied from sand to a sand-
clay mixture. The average haul In the
excavation was 200 feet. The average haul
from the gravel pit to the road was 1900
feet and from the clay pit to the road 1700
feet, and the materials were loaded into
wagons from traps. The local authorities
furnished two road plows, six drag scrap-
ers and one road machine. Seven hundred
and seventy-five cubic yards of earth
were excavated at the cost of $ir,l.6S, and
the total cost of the road to the commu-
nity, based on labor at S1.50 and teams at
$4 per day, was $534.08, or at the rate of
$1177 per mile.
HALLVILLE'S ROAD.
Work on clearing the right of way for
a sand-clay road at Hallville, Texas, was
begun -May 27, 1608, and the road was
How to Get Rid
of Catarrh
A Simple, Safe, Reliable Way,
and It Costs Nothing to Try.
Those who sufrer from catarrh know
Its miseries. There is no need of this
suffering. You can get rid of it by a
simple, safe, inexepensive, home treat-
ment, discovered by Dr. Blosser who, for
over thirty-five years, has been treating
catarrh successfully.
His treatment is unlike any other. It
Is not a spray, douche, salve, cream, or
inhaler, but is a more direct and thor-
ough treatment than any of these. It
cleans out the head, nose, throat and
lungs so that you can again breathe
freely and sleep without that stopped-up
feeling that all catarrh sufferers have. It
heals the diseased mucous membranes
and arrests the foul discharge so that you
will not be constantly blowing your nose
and spitting, and at the same time it does
not. poison the system and ruin the stom-
ach, as internal medicines do.
Tf you want to test this treatment
without cost, send your address to Dr.
J. W. Blosser, 214 Walton Street, Atlanta,
Ga., and he will send you by return mall
enough of the medicine to satisfy you
that it Is all he claims for it as a remedy
for catarrh, catarrhal headaches, ca-
tarrhal deafness, asthma, bronchitis,
colds and all catarrhal complications. He
will also send vou free an illustrated
booklet. Write aim immediately.
DID NOT GO TO COLORADO
Cured of Asthma Without Climatic
Change Ordered by Doctor.
His physician told Mr. Samuel Arustein.
of 246 Pearl street. New York, that if he
was ever to be cured of the asthma he
would have to go to Colorado for a few
years. Other physicians were alike un-
able to relieve his suffering, and Mr.
Arnstein, In his dilemma, decided to in-
vestigate the Austrian ascatco treatment,
which at that time, four vears ago, was
comparatively new in this country. He
experienced a complete cure and reported
a month ago that he has never had a re-
turn of the disease.
Being taken at home in small seven-drop
doses, ascatco does not even interfere
with regular duties and climatic change,
so often advised, is never necessary. It is
a constitutional treatment which "has ac-
complished the most surprising results
ever accredited to any remedy for bron-
chial affections. The genuine ascatco may
now bo procured, in both the 50 cent and
$2 sizes, at A. E. Kiesling's, 504 Main
street, and other leading drug stores, and
a free sample will be mailed to anyone
who will write to the Austrian Labora-
tory, 32 West 25th Street, New York City.
completed June 11, 1909. A length of 4400
feet was improved with a sand-clay sur-
face sixteen feet wide. The road was
graded twenty-eight feet wide In cuts and
thirty feet in fills and finished to a uni-
form width of twenty-four feet from
shoulder to shoulder. The road traversed
a rolling country and the soil varied from
almost clear sand to heavy clay. To se-
cure rr°Pcr grades and drainage 1800 cu-
bic yards of excavation was required.
The earth was loosened with plows and
handled with slips and wheel scrapers.
The average length of haul for excavation
was 3S0 feet. The clay was applied loose
for six inches and the sand loose for four
inches deep. The county furnished its
own outfit and convict force, which was
employed for the entire work. The im-
provement cost the community $212.46,
which is at the ra'te of .027c per square
yard, or $255 per mile.
MINEOLA'S CLAY AND SAND ROAD.
The improvement at Mineola, Texas,
consisted in surfacing with sand and
clay a very sandy piece of road 600 feet
long. The work of clearing the right of
way started May 14, 1909, and the road
was entirely completed May 21, 1909. No
grading was necessary, except to crown
the roadway, which was done with a road
machine. The clay was secured from a
pit with an average haul of 700 feet. Slat-
bottom farm wagons with a capacity of
three-fourths of a cubic yard were used
for hauling clay to the load. The road
wps graded to a uniform width of twenty-
five feet, a width of eighteen feet was
surfaced with the sand-clay. The cost of
this imjwovement to the community was
$75.80, which is at the rate of ,063c per
square yard or $667 per mile.
NACOGDOCHES' OBJECT LESSON.
Work on Improving with a sand-clay
surface a section of the San Antonio road
leading east from Nacogdoches toward
Melrose was begun August 28, 1C0S, and
completed November 17, 1908. The road
traversed a rolling country, and 5936 cubic
yards of excavation were required. The
soli varied from a deep, fine sand to a
sandy clay. The soil to be excavated was
loosened with plows and handled with
slip scrapers, wneel scrapers and wagons,
according to the length of the haul, at an
average cost of .013c per cubic yard. A
length of 13,010 feet was graded, of which
10,890 feet were surfaced with sand-clay
from fifleen to eighteen feet wide and
five and a half inches deep. This required
2477 cubic yards of material, which was
hauled an average distance of 800 feet at
a cost of .146c per cubic yard. Loading
surfacing material at the pit cost .024c per
cubic yard, and mixing materia! on the
road cost .0024c per square yaru. This im-
provement cost the community $16J4.10,
which is at the rate of $654 per mile, or
.073c per yard. Labor cost J1 per day for
free labor, 50c for convicts and $2 for a
team without a driver. As a result of tins
improvement public interest in better
roads has been aroused and considerable
future work is now in progress.
TERRELL'S GOOD HIGHWAY.
Work on the Country club road leading
northwest from Terrell toward Koyse was
begi n March 30, 1909, and the road was
completed April 12, 1909. One mile of
road was graded to a width of thirty-two
feet, of which eighteen feet were im-
proved with a sand-clay surface eight
inches thick. This work required 2559
cubic yards of excavation with an aver-
age haul of 675 feet at a cost of 30.226 per
cubic yard. A total of 1155 cubic yards
of clay was used, at a cost ot $.211 per
cubic yard when delivered on the road.
Labor was paid for at the rate of $1.50
per day for men and $3 for teams. The
improvement cost the community $53-1.15,
which is equivalent to $o.05 per square
yard. In addition, one reinforced con-
crete bridge was erected as a cost of
$369.65. A sand-clay road 7900 feet in
length leading southwest from Terrell
toward Salty was begun on March 1:,
1909, and completed April 12, 1903. The
roadway was graded from twenty-five to
thirty feet wide and eighteen feet were
surfaced with sand-clay eight inches
thick. The road was crowned from three-
fourths of an inch to one inch per foot.
The earth excavation amounted to 2o35
cubic yards, and the work was done with
slip scrapers and wagons at a cost of
$0,073 per cubic yard. Two thousand
three hundred and sixty yards of clay
were used, with an average haul of 1K0
feet. The cost of hauling the clay was
$0,085 per cubic yard, and loosening and
loading it cost 6 cents and 1 mill per
cubic yard. Slat bottom farm wagons
with a capacity of one cubic yard were
used. The cost of the road to the com-
munity was $794.36. of which $128.53 was
for four vitrified tile crossing drains with
end walls of brick;: luid in a cement mor-
tar. Labor cost $1.50 per day and teams
$3 per day.
THE WORK AT TROUPE.
Excavation preparatory to budding a
sand-clay road was begun at Troiipe,
Texas, December 11, 1908, and the road
was completed July 17, 1909, during which
time seven days were lost on account of
rain and bad weather; the road was
through a rolling country with a heavy
clay soil. The length of 2699 feet was
graded, of which 2000 feet were surfaced
with sand-clay fl'iteen feet wide and four
to eight inches deep. The maximum gride
was reduced from ten to four feet, which
required 1000 cubic yards of excavation
at a cost of 9 cents and 6 mills per cubic
yard. As the road was all in heavy clay,
no clay was hauled for surfacing. The
400 cubic yards of sand required were se-
cured at a pit one mile and a half from
the road. The hauling was done in slat
bottom farm wagons with a capacity of
one cubic yard, at a cost of 40 cents arid
7 mills per cubic yard. The total cost
to the community was $334. which is ;it
the rate of 7 cents and 3 mills per square
yard, or $664 per mile. Labor cost $1 per

TYLER-CHANDLER ROAD.
Work on the road leading east from
Tyler toward Browning was begun Octo-
ber 26, 1908, and completed November 10,
1908. One-half mile was Improved with a
sand-clay surface fifteen wide and five
and a half inches thick. The road passes
through a rolling section of counti-y, with
a soil varying from clay to deep sand,
and about 1070 cubic yards were required
to secure reasonable grades and good
drainage. Wheel scrapers could not be
had, and the greater portion of the exca-
vation was handled in slat bottom faj'm
wagons, with a maximum haul of fifty
feet at a cost of 10 cents and 5 mills per
cubic yard. The surfacing material w<tt>
hauled in wagons a distance of 1100 feet
at a cost of 20 cents and 5 mills per

MACADAM AT EL PASO.
Work on the resurfacing five miles of
old macadam road at this place with an
asphalt macadam was begun May 19.
1909. The dust was first swept off with
wire brooms and the roadway spiKed up
with a road roller. The road was then
shaped and given a crown of one-hai
inch to the foot; after this a layer of one
and one-half inches of clean limestone
was added and thoroughly rolled. Vhe
voids were then filled with stone chins
from one-quarter to one-half inches in
size, which were thrown over the surface
and swept in the voids of one and one-
half inch stone. Without further ^roll-
ing, and without the use of water, about
fifteen pounds per square ya:d of as-
phalt heated to about 300 degrees F. was
sprinkled over the surface. After the
asphalt had been applied, stone screen-
ing was spread over the road and rolled
until the road was thoroughly consoli-
dated. This work was not comp.etea .t
the close of the fiscal year and will be
fully described in the next annual re-
port. .'

Golf and Country club will spend Sunday
in Houston, the guests of the Golf and
Country club of that city. A number ot
the visitors left this evening and will
spend the night at the club house, while
others will go up tomorrow morning.
With the passing of the winter months
interest in the game is reviving and plans
for the coming summer schedule are al-
ready being arranged.
A proposition is now on foot in Galves-
ton whereby the club hopes to secure
control of a tract of land on the main-
land between Galveston and Houston.
On this land it is proposed to establish
the finest links in the South and at the
same time erect a club house building
which will be adequate to accommodate
from fifty to 100 people at any time it
is demanded. It is also part of the scheme
to make this mainland club an intercity
association, and it is sought to get the in-
terest of the Houston golfers in the en-
terprise. In addition to the club house
».
it is proposed to establish a modern and
well equipped garage which will be ready-
as soon as the causeway is complete.
It is understood that the promoters have
settled on a site of land which will be
adequate to their needs and which is
so situated that it will be convenient to
automobile travel between the two cities
and at the same time be close to the
tracks of the interurban.
