similar subjects, upon which these pub
lie spirits are so we'll versed.
GA stitch in time saves nine, applies
to ad-building as well as to feminine
employment
To simply fill up a hole with the sub
stance nearest at hand generally proves
about as satisfactory as trying to fill a
sieve with water.
Wherever a piece of quicksand is
found, it should be thoroughly removed,
if possible, and the hole filled with stone
or some hard material.
The custom of dumping stone, regard
less of size. into low places, and then
covering with roadside dirt causes much
trouble. The small stones soon work to
the bottom and the large ones to the
surface, where they become slippery.
and as they are net bound together they
cause joiting which is harder on horses
and vehicles than hauling through mud
would be.
The Chinese roads are built, many of
them, of solid rock. If some system
which was a compromise between the
ma adam and Chinese systems could be
carried out, the problem would be solved
The macadam roads, where they can be
afforded. are undoubtedly the best. A
study of the Telford and macadam
methods by all citizens interested in pub
lie affairs would be very helpful.
The width, depth and method of con-
struction must be governed by circum
stances, but the depth should, of course
depend upon the amount of traffic the
road is required to support. For heavy
traffic depth of from twelve to eigh-

stones should be small, with sharp edges,
bed should be dug in the form of
trench the required width, where thor
ough work can be afforded. After pack
ing the stone the interstices should be
filled with chips, and finely broken stone
placed on top. This should be packed
and pulverized with the roller, then
covered with layer Of gravel or screen
ings. Of ouiSG tie expense of road
Of this character would prevent its use
at the present time in country districts
except in the worst places, and in such
contingencies the most thorough method
is the most economical Considerable
attention has been given to surface
drainage, but many well-built roads are
watorsoakeI until ruined for lack of
proper sub drainage. Good drainage
should be obtained regardless of ex-
pense; the necessary ditnhing may be
utilized for draining ad "a ent lands.
In many places in Illinois swampy
meadow lands have been redeemed by
the dtching made for road drainage. 1t
is hard to estimate the addition which
good roads give to land values, but farm

fact that improvements in property con

In the price of diamonds, man from
New York has scheme calculated to

who wants to get engaged but who lacks
the necessary funds to purchase suit
able diamond pledge of his affection.
This scheme is nothing more nor less
than to loan engagement rings for so

of poor road in one month, whore con-
staut traffic is to he supported, would
cover the expense of building a road
which, with slight repairs, would last
for years. In ST. Joseph County, Michi-
gan, a strip Of corduroy through a
marsh thirty rods long caused two deaths
years ago. The township paid
5000 in one instance, and losses re-
sulting from accidents from time to

road remains in an unsafe condition,
while at either approach to this strip is
material enough to make road sixty

farmers in working out a pol!-taX is I'M

two or three teams, meet to repair a
road which is used for heavy traffic.
These men are obliged many times to
haul loads over roads which have no
foundation drainage and imperfect sur
face drainage, full of holes and wash
outs; yet without plan or method they
gather, and by the use of the scraper
the dirt from the roadside is dumped on
to the roadbed which has not been pre-

Villages and towns have authority tC
vote special amounts for road building,
and though the present laws are unsat-
iSfactory in many ways, proper use OF
existing laws would bring about state
of affairs more fitting 20 our present
civilization. Let road districts unite in
a proposition to begin at certain point
and make thoroughly good roads TO-,
certain distances each year
A small stretch of road, we'll butt,
with prop2r drainage, would furnish an
inspiration to all who had occasion to
use it, which might lead ID an enthusi-
assn for TIL too often neglected branch
of pub il work. No method Of building
can do away with the need for constant
repairing Much labor and expense
could be saved by taking the work in
hand soon enough. The covering wears
away and the road whose rounding sur
face should a ways be preserved, is in
need Of new, small supply.
If this work could be done oftener,
the new material would quickly join
with the old, if put on in small quaint
ties, and the hindrance to traffic over
patched places would be in a degree
avoided In filling holes the work
should be so thoroughly done that the
rounding surface of the road may be OBJ
served, instead Of burdening traffic with
a heap of stones in the roadbed.
Unless strong reasons exist to the con-
trary the work should be done when the
ground is wet In filling long ruts only
short pieces should be filled at a time.
If work is all done at once. vehicles
avoid the place, and new ruts are
formed. The use of the roller in the
building Of roads is too we'll known to
need mention, but section of patched
road, which is practically useless for six
months in year, could be made much
more suitable for traffic by its use,

Such speed would be checked by a

A prominent English gentleman, who,
while travelling through the States, had
occasion to do considerable riding
through the smaller towns and country
districts, once remarked that while the
buildings he saw represented high
standard of civilization, the roads were
stll frontier highways, on which lite
thought or money had been spent.
To the expeditions Traveller the wind
ing roads so often seen seem to be the
greatest possible distance between two
points, and are not only an annoyance,
but cause an absolute loss OF time and
money.
The losses resulting from the imper-
feet building of roads. if seen or felt in
the aggregate, would call the attention
of the public to this work until evils
wou be ramedied: but unfortunately
the same indifference is in human nature

little attention is paid to two important
things, viz, good surveying and proper
drainage.
Road limits should be as straight and
clearly defined as the rows OF the marker
in d corntield.
The Romans, without consideration Of
expense, always made their roads the
shortest distance between two points to
be connected. This will not of course
be found to be practicable in many ir-
stances; but, While the road must be
laid in such place and manner as to
make the least expense Of building and
rcrairing, some sacrifice of money and
labor can be afforded, when the question
Of loss OF time is to be considered Of
