HOW TO MAKE A ROAD

We condense the following hints from 8 circular issue by the Roads Improvement Association of London, England, an or ganizstion formed to distribute matter for the education of local highway authorities, road contractors, and others, on the proper construction, maintenance, and repair of highways ....c.
 Never allow hollow, rut or a puddle to remain on road, but fill it up at once with ''chips" from the stone heap. AL ways use ''chips" for patching, and for all repairs during the summer months. Never put fresh stones on the road if by cross- picking and a thorough use of the rake the surface can be made smooth and kept at the proper streneth3of section. The rake is the most useful tool in your collection, and it should be kept close at hand thaswhole year round. Never spread large patches of stone over the whole width of the road, but coat the middle sor horse track first, and, when this has worn in, coat each of | the sides in turn. In moderately dry weather, and on hard roads, always. pick up the old surface into ridges six inches apart, and remove all large and projecting stones before applying new coating Never spread stones more than one stone deep, but add second layer when the first is worn in, if one coating be not enough. Use steel pronged fork to load the barrOws at the stone heap, so that the siftings may be available for binding and for summer repairs. Never shoot stones on to the road and crack them where they lie, or smooth surface will be out of the question. Go over the whole of the new coating every day or two with the rake, and never leave the stone in ridges. Never put stone upon road for repairing pur. poses that will not pass freely in every di- rection through two-inch ring, and still smaller stones should be used for patching, and for all slight repairs. Hard stone should be broken to finer guage than soft, but the two-inch guage is the largest that should be employed under any cir cunstances. Never be without your ring guage. It should be to the roadman what the compass is to the mariner, and if you have no ring guage, remember Macadam' s advice that any stone you cannot easily put into your mouth should be broken smaller. Use nothing but chips for bind- ing newly laid stones together, and re- member that road sweepings, horse drop- pings, sods of grass, or other rubbish, when used for this purpose. will ruin the best made road.
 never be used upon steep grades, or they will fail to bind together.
 Never allow dust or mud to lie on the surface of the road, for either of these will double the cost of maintenance. Dust be- comes mud at the first shower, and mud forms wet blanket which will keep g road in filthy condition for weeks at a time, instead of allowing it to dry in few

 -One of David Donovan's small boys, attending school at West Stafford center, while at play during, recess, had bis leg accidentally broken. As the affair has just happened the particulars have not been learned by the writer. This is an other warning to boys whose plays at school during recess are too often of so reckless q nature as to endanger their limbs, and sometimes even their lives. From Dr. Newton, the physician called, we learn that the fractnre was midway be- tween knee and ankle of right leg. The lad is 12 years of age, and lives at Forest ville.-ED
 Mrs. May Andrews, while visiting her sister at East Longmeadow, Mass, was taken SO seriously ill as to alarm her rela- tives, and man was sent to West Stafford late last evening to notify her folks, and carry her husband to her bedside. How she is at this writing is not known by your correspondent.

hours. See that all sweepings and scrap ings are put into heaps and carted away immediately.
 The middle of the road should always be little higher than the sides, so that the rain may run into the side gutters al once. Never allow the water tables, gut ters and ditches to clog up, but keep them clear the whole year through. Always be upon your road in wet weather, and at once fill up with ''chips" any hollows or ruts where the rain may lie. When the main coatings of stone have worn in, go over the whole road, and, gathering to- gether all the loose stones, return them to the stone heap for use in the winter to fol- low for these stones are a source of dan- ger and annoyance, and should never be allowed to lie on any road.
