Full information from any agent Points on Oiling Roads Hon. N. Ellery, State Highway Commissioner, has recently been looking closely into the subject of oiling roads and, in answer to inquiries propounded to him, has prepared some valuable hints which should be widely useful: “What are the essentials of a macadam oil roadway or street?” he was asked. “Build a proper foundation, of course. From the experience I have had, I would, before putting on the top layer of metal, the finishing of the macadam, apply about three-quarters of a gallon of cold asphaltic oil to the square yard. On this I would place the top coat of macadam. I like to get the oil about two inches under the top of the surface rock. Of course, the lower layers are maintained at a certain state of dampness. This aids the oil in its trip to the top, where it will surely come. As soon as the roadway is finally rolled and finished, the oil will begin its upward march. It will take some time to come to the surface, but when it does we have as nearly as possible, with macadam, a dustless and mudless road.” “You would then put no oil on top?” “Certainly I would put no oil on top.” But suppose it is an already constructed roadway of macadam that you want to oil?” In that case I would clear the surface of all dirt and dust perfectly, apply my cold oil and on top of it place a layer of finely crushed rock, making the macadam a bit thicker.” “You say that you use approximately three-quarters of a gallon to the square yard, here we use 50 barrels to two blocks.” That is over a quarter of a gallon more than I would advise. In the first place, the attempt is to get an asphaltum surface: in the second, we try to get a bituminous macadam roadway. “Oh, yes, numerous ones, there is not secured completion the result is a soft road. The method I stand for, they early admitted to the road weight of wagons pressing on the oil has to come up through ering.” “How would you repair a road?” “Well, if a rut occurs in the shoulder. Then the fine crust and oil should be put in as insulation. In such repairing material will not push out before rolling over it. Of course, should be made a bit higher plane of the road, to allow for age.” “Do you advocate the use of macadam for earth oil roads?” “Yes; sand may be used in comes up too freely; either coarse or finely crushed rock may be.” “How about the accumulation in gutters after application crown of the road?” “In the process I have described there is no such accumulation.” “Suppose oil has been put on macadam and stands in puddles the rest has dried out?” “I would use sand in such Whether put on top on the surface of asphaltic surface or unas in the process I have described more the sun gets to the road ter. It hardens and evaporates readily, the volatile part pays more rapidly.” “是 there difference in treating cording to character of soils?” “Yes, the soil affects the oil chemically decomposes it. Tains two parts necessary to be stood—petroline and asphaltin kali forms a combination with "You say that you use approximately three-quarters of a gallon to the square yard, here we use 50 barrels to two blocks." "That is over a quarter of a gallon more than I would advise. In the first place, the attempt is to get an asphaltum surface: in the second, we try to get a bituminous macadam roadway. In the last Riverside examination I made, they showed me samples of oil boiled down leaving no residue where heavy asphaltic oils are used. Again I saw samples leaving about 50 per cent of residue. In the first instance it was of no use for road purposes; in the second, very good roads are made of it. Riverside has some excellent oiled roads and streets on the macadam basis. They cut out with a grader and make a sub-grade to cross section as required, and with a regard to the crown. Next they dump and well roll a sort of granite they have there, putting it four inches thick. When this is completed, wetted and thoroughly rolled, they apply oil, a half-gallon to the square yard, or perhaps three-quarters of a gallon. They then place two or three inches of top road metal of their granite and decomposed granite. These roads I went over carefully and the surface was smooth, elastic, and yet much harder than some other roads treated on the top plan. The city engineer of Riverside follows the plan of work I have outlined, entirely, and with the very best results." "How about the treatment of earth roads with oil?" "The best examples of earth oiled roads I find in Yolo county and especially in Supervisor Ormsby's district. First, with a grader he cuts out his roadway to the proper cross-section grade, using a grader for the purpose. Next he compacts the earth road well, scraping off the surplus earth to the sides of the road, where he leaves it for subsequent use, all the while rolling well, and scraping from crown to side. Then, when the compacting process is complete, he applies the oil cold. Presently he drags back upon the oil the surplus earth piled on the sides as stated, covering the oil from four to five inches thick with it. Almost immediately after, he opens the road to traffic, after rolling well."

Almost immediately after, he opens the road to traffic, after rolling well. "For some time Ormsby's roadway looks just like a common earth road. But after a time you will see the oil coming up in spots, and presently it comes up evenly all over the surface, and eventually becomes a hardened oil road. By this process he opens his road far earlier than can be done with top treatment. When the oil is up, great loaded wagons with one or two loaded trailers to each, pass over the road without making an indentation in the surface. "After his oil is on and covered, Mr. Ormsby works his road smooth with a grader, attached to which is a drag, moving at an angle to the road. This drag is composed of a heavy wooden timber shod with steel. In front of it and attached to end bars is a Trailway rail. The two pieces are from 15 to 18 in. apart. A road thus constructed can be seen between Davisville and Winter and it is one of the very best to be found anywhere. The cost of this kind of road in Yolo is low, $150 per mile." "How is the oil best applied to earth roads or others?" "By any device that will evenly and properly distribute. Almost any wagon fitted with a distributor properly perforated will answer." "Do you find instances where too much oil is used?" Fresno's fig crop this year will total 2000 tons. Packers are paying 2½c. As output of canned fruit of state, from short deciduous crops, be so light, Southern California canneries have taken all good quality of fruit offered at minimum quotations. It is the growers' year. Apricot pack of this section is nominal and peach pack is larger than usual owing to fact that dryers, afraid of price, bought sparingly. Many lines of fruit are entirely sold out and market continues firm and advancing. Cured fruit market shows little change. Apricots are firm at 15¢ to 16¢ for fancy. It is estimated only 50 carloads remain unsold. Peaches move slowly. Jobbers are not filling their wants, although it is known that pack is considerably lower than early estimates and inquiry is more active. Growers are making stand for 8½ to 9¢ orchard run. Raisin situation is exceedingly good. Large sales have been made on 6¢ basis, fancy seeded. Crop runs to two crowns and seedless and may not reach 45,000 ton estimate. As 25,000 tons have already been sold for early delivery, prices are not likely to be lower. Sugar campaign is progressing well; beets showing high percentage and good tonnage. In bean market, pinks are nearly cleaned up and advanced sharply during August. Limas are weak, declining to $3.50 to $3.65 f. o. b. Other varieties firm and unchanged. Honey crop is very short, about one-half normal crop. There is a good Coast and Eastern Sugar campaign is progressing well; beets showing high percentage and good tonnage.

Honey crop is very short, about one-half normal crop. There is a good Coast and Eastern inquiry and price is advancing. The Walnut Growers' association has made its annual quotations and they range an average reduction of 1½c on all grades. Soft shells, 11c, 8c; hard shells, 10¼, 7½c. Large California crops, indications of heavy importations and low prices set by foreign growers, influenced the association. The orange market has shown unusual quiet for this season. All offerings find ready sale. Crop of Valencias is proving short. Quotations are well held up. First-class fruit is not selling under $3.75 f.o.b. Floridas will come in first of next month; 4,000,000 boxes is estimate of crop. Lemons have been going skyward, breaking last year's high price record at this season, one carload bringing $2700 net, California, $300 higher than any previous return. Locally, all jobbing lines report volume of August sales in advance of last year. Retail business in many lines shows usual between-season quiet. Number and value of building permits show falling off in building. Cause of this is given as scarcity of lumber due to labor trouble at San Pedro. Outlook for fall and winter trade is exceedingly good. Most encouraging is the fact that during the past three months a surprising number of small manufacturing enterprises have opened up. Failures for month 24, liabilities $57,000; assets, $40,000. Same month last year—12 failures, liabilities $47,-000 and assets $25,000. FIFTY CENTS IN some conditions the gain from the use of Scott's Emulsion is very rapid. For this reason we put up a fifty-cent size, which is enough for an ordinary cough or cold or useful as a trial for babies and children. In other conditions the gain is slower—health cannot be built up in a day. In such cases Scott's Emulsion must be taken as nourishment; a food rather than a medicine. It's a food for tired and weak digestions. Send for free sample Scott & Bowne, 409-415 Pearl St. Chemists New York goc. and $1.00. All druggists
