Cheap Roads Of Crushed Stone.

At would be quite easy to have good
roads, thinks d. A. Barker, il all would
do their part of the necessary work.
For three-fourths Of the highways, or
for all except the main roads, the only
thing needed at first is to lay down q
cubic yard Of finely crushed stone with
out grading or any other labor. After
. road district has 9 roadbed like that,
the whole length, then the grading can
be attended to. It is an easy matter to
go uphill If the road be hard and smooth.
The town of Bergen, in Genessee
County, N. Y, owns a largc-size stone-
crusher, and the Road Commissioner
says the whole cost to the town, where
the stone is donated, and the crushed
stone drawn by the road districts, is
only about eighty cents per lineal rod.
The stone should be crushed fine, then
Il will cement together, and where the
road is narrow lay the stone on one side
Of the centre, 50 8 to have a dirt track
when the roads are dry. The best way
is three tracks; stone in the middle
