HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Huron Expositor, 1878-05-10, Page 66 THE HURON EXPOSITOR. Theory of Roadmalcing To the Editor of the Huron Expositor. Dran Sin: It must be admitted that the condition of roads is at the founda- tion of our progress in this world, and that their state at present is testing the muscles arid quality of shoe leather of those who venture abroad; their gener- al appearance indicates that we do not study, or apply the true principle in the construction of what we sometimes call highways, to the bad state of which, during the past season, maybe attribut- ed a. share of the financial embarrass- ment experienced by almost all classes of the community. I have long waited in hopes that SUMO one who ha e more leisure and ability might suggest a remedy. If such an explanation. has - been!publish%l in your paper, you need not insert this. Roads, in this vicinity at least, are too wide, too flat, and , ditches too shallow. Those whit, have not carefally read natural philosophy, may reason that a road raised a foot or two above water level, should. keep dry when the weather is not rainy, as water seeks its own level. This is true when the surface over which it passes is not porous, as rock, pure clay, or soil per- fectly filled with water, but not when the land is porous. A11 porous bodies exert a strong attraction for fluids and liquids, that continue until- perfect saturation, and, in the case of wide, low roads, often beyond that point, till a quantity of water is deposited on the surface, whose weight is sufficient to counteract the upward attractive power of the soil. The conditions that govern the attraction of porosity are two, the size of the pores and.length of the base; thus, water will not rise so high in grav- el as in sand, nor so high in clayey loam as in loamy clay, nor so high in a narrow road as a wide one of the same height above water level. In the front of this anl the neighboring townships, the land is of the fourtb description, generally underlaid with a watertight subsoil, and, therefore, possesses the greatest power to attract and retain wa- ter. If the exact density of the soil was knownewe could determine with mathe- matical preoision the width and height of road. =which would maintain a dry Surface. Excess in height, however, would be an error in the right direction. This may be got by narrowing the•road, by raising the sinface, or by lowering the water level, or by altogether when the water shed will admit. To illus- trate the foregoing, take two pieces of straight glass- of any convenient size, say four by six inches, dip in water to moisten the surface, let all water run off, lay them over each other, hold them firmly together at one edge, im- merse the lower edge in water, and in- sert a piece of shaving or something a line or less in thickness between the plates at the edge_oPposite where it -is held, when the water will gradually as- cend, according to the size ofl the pores and the length of the line of immersion, in a hyperbolic arch. By using two sets of plates, held edge to edge, one in, a reversed position, a very fair idea can be formed of how water is carried from the ditch and deposited on the centre of the road, although several feet high- er. The centre of the road, in ?onse- quence of the pressure to whici it is subjeeted, is hut slightly porous, and in a condition to attract and. retain water with great force. Once there, it, can be removed only by evaporation.. We may safely infer that a road sixteen feet wide at base will raise, water three feet at its centre, much higher when wider. If this were thoroughly- tested, it would furnish valuable information, which, re- duced to practice, must save muci la- bor and expense in spreading gravel on a low, flat surface, to be annually tramped into the subsoil. Will not some of our acute practical men solve the problem. M. McQu.um Teceeitsearn, April 29, 1878. Convenience-. - As the dairying season is at hand, every miller should have a milking stool, first, because it gives the proper and easy position; second., it prevents the pail from corning incontact with the ground, which is often wet and foul, and third, because a sudden or unexpect- ed motion of the cow cannot upset the pail without overturn: both stool and milker. The contrivaucj that we use was described in the Rral New Yorker several years ago, and. can be made by any boy in twenty minutes. A piece of board, 10 or 11 inches wide and four and a quarter feet long, cut across semi - circularly at 20 inches from the end, convex on the longer piece; round this convex, nail a piece of hoop, half an inch up, to keep the pail from slipping; put two legs under this end, about five inches lone, and two in the other about ten incheS'long • lay the short piece on, this, square ends together, and place a support under the concave end, so as to raise it eight or wine inches from the lower board, and. nail seourely. Those who have a better will not ad.opt this, but they that have none will feel like sitting clown to work on one of this de- scription. Suggestions about Housework. There are many who complain that they never get time to read, write or think, and to those:I would respectfully ,dedicate these few lines. In the first place, teach the little ones to wait on themselves and mamma. Little five. - tell whether its iron or brass, make a good bonfire, place them in the centre, burn off the filth, and scorch yourslack- nem so severely that you will not allow them to get crusted over again. Sew up the seams of coarse shirts on the machine; sew in the sleeves in like manner, and overeast ; don't fell down so nicely, they wear just as well. Make your common underwear the same way; it aaves much time and ironing. Make your fine clothes fine and your coarse ones stout. Don't keep your rooms all closed through the summer, ,and eat on the kitchen stove to save •work; mosquito netting will keep out the flies, and if you have a cool room to eat in it saves time in -wiping off the sweat, and you feel rested When dinner is over. Have a pail of water near the door when you sweep, dip your broom in as often as it becomes dry and shake well before using; it will save mueh time in dusting. Fold your Sheete nice- ly when taken from the line,it will save many an extra rub of the iron. Try to have things in the kitchen neat and handy, and 1 think you will have much time for enjoyment. I will Send you a few more recipes which may aid you in times to come if preserved. Will some of your readers please give the process for making imitation coral brackets, and oblige ?—Jennie, in Michi- gan Farmer. • Uses of Aranionia. Spirits of Ammonia is so invaluable an agent in house-cleaning time, as in- deed_ all the year round, that it should be called "the house -cleaner's cbmpan- ion '." and. no house should be without a bottle, carefully corked with a glass stopper, as the ainnetnia is easily evap- orated. It is almost as useful as soap, to which it is a most valuable ally; and while it is cheap enough to be within reach of all, its uses are as numerous as our cleansing needs. For 'washing paint, windows, mirrors, etc., it is a great saver of trouble. Add a teaspoon- ful of ammonia to a quart of warm soap- suds, dip a flannel cloth into it and ap- ply, and you will see how dust, fly specks, grease spots and finger marks will disappear as if by magic from the paint or glass. A teaspoonful of am- monia also, in one pint of warm water, is the most effectual mode of cleansing brushes. Shake them in the water until they become white, then rinse in cold water and put them in the SIM to dry. The dirtiest brushes can thus be quickly made white and. clean. It will I also whiten and clear laces and muslins, if a few drops are added to the water in -which they are rinsed, and it will take grease spots out of every kind of fabric. For this purpose it should ..be put on nearly pure, blotting paper shouP be laid over the place, and a hot flat -iron pressed upon the paper for a few moments. For the toilet table, too, ammonia, is most us useful. Added to the bath, it greatly increases its purifying qualities, and will at once remove the noxious smell that often arises from the feet in warm weather. For cleaning the hair, also, nothing is better, and a wash of bay rum following it will prevent the taking cold and stimulate the growth of the hair. For cleansing gold, jewelry, &c. ammonia is also efficient, and it is of great use, also, for removing head- aches and catarrhal colds, by the in- halation of its pungent- odor. Finally, aromatic Spirits of ammonia in a dose of ten drops in a wineglass of water is an excellent remedy for dyspepsia or heartburn. Finally—a word of advice needed by many—don't overwork yourself at house cleaning time. By judicious planning a great deal may be done in the way of sorting- and putting away articles of winter use, cleaning closets and cup- boards, etc., before the main brunt Of - house-cleaning collies; and even that will be done more effectually, as well as more pleasantly, by being content to "hasten slowly." It is a pity when the house -mistress so wears out her strength by overworking herself and her servants that when the cleaning process is fin- ished and the house freshened and beautiful, every one is too tired out to enjoy the result of so much labor.

Many are of the opi on that winter is the time, and when t e weather is keen and frosty spread. t eir cloth on the sloping side of 'a snow drift, where the sun shines brightest Upon it. Although the desired. effect is semetimes effected, yet the person that ls out the cloth must wade deeply into the snow, get- ting more or less chilled and dampened, which is no benefit; and again, the cloth freezes, which is a detriment to it, more than balancing ,the amount of good it receives from loss of color. Un- bleached goods should be made up in season to be worn dur•ng cold weather, as such garments are wanner, and re- tain more bodily heat I should never advise the making up of material before it is bleached. If wh tened in the piece every part stands the ame chanee ; the surface being single t e process is short- er, and when the g rments come to need mending the pie es used are of a proper color. Puttin through a solu- tion of chloride of linje is a rapid, pro- cess but not the best,i as, inexpenenced persons are very apt tO dolt improperly. I have the pleasing remembrance of lia spoiling t o pieces of cloth -withlit. A bleach y rd is nice ometimes, unless the grass •s -very thi k and short, but the dirt s s around a d the birds and - insects are verir apt to soil and stain the cloth, even if it is not tramped upon by larger animals, -The easiest and best method I have yet fo nd is to put the , lx. cloth in a boiler of cold suds or lye water and boil up t start the color. Lift out and hang on he line without wringing. Hang wh re the strongest rays of sun fall direct y upon it, putting strong pins about a y d, and drawing the cloth even with t e line—that' is not hanging in loops. At night take it down and let ;it lay,in a tub ' of rain- water until morning, when it goes back on the line again ien the same way.„Con- tinue this until -sufficiently white.

Ox, 1 The signs of a good working ox are long head, broad and level between the eyes, and eyes full, keen and. pleasant; forward legs straight; toes straightfor- ward; hoofs broad, not peaked, and the distance short between the ankle and the knee (these properties enable an ox to travel on hard roads, for if the ani- mal turns his toes ,out the strain comes on the inside claw, and when travel- ling on hard ground he will get lame at the 'joint between the hoofs and the hair) ; full breast ; straight back; round ribs, projecting out as wide as the hip bonet.
