[ have been asked what | would do
whore the road crosses a basin. l say
would thoroughly underdrain, then IA
a ditch to let off stormwater and travel
on the bottom Of the basin. have also
been asked in regard to the frost coming
out and spelling the surface of the road.
l answer this question by saying that in
thoroughly drained ground the warm
air entering the tile causes the frost to
a short time in getting through and let
ting the roadbed dry. If the tile is
placed beneath the frost line the air in
the tile has a tendency to keep the earth
over the tile from freezing as solid as
elsewhere.-T. S. McClannahan.

When the Prince Called on Tennyson.


There Is one story that will be historic
of a call which the Prince of Wales once
made upon Tennyson. He had a new
page boy, who knew not the prince, and
who had been warned against admitting
strangers to the house on any pretext.
Ono day the prince walked over from
Osborne to see the poet. He gained the
entrance, which was of itself no easy
task, and knocked at the door. Mas.
ter's not in" he was told. The prince
detecting that this was II promiscuous
answer, which it was the page boys in.
structions to give to all comers. said,
will you kindly tell him the Prince of
Wales wishes to see him."
The boy eyed the visitor with an irri-
tatingly knowing look, and replied
"Walker.' which was equivalent to say,
ing, "Do you see anything green in my
eyer" This rude remark amused the
prince very much, but the boy would
certainly have slammed the door i'll his
face if Tennyson himself, who had been
listening to the conversation, had not
put in an appearance and welcomed the
prince to his Freshwater home New
York Tribune.

would have each township organize
into q municipality for road purposes.
Then, when two-thirds of the t~axpaying
citizens of a township should vote to tax
themselves for road purposes, the state
should furnish an equal amount, not to
exceed in the aggregate 5 per cent on the
assessed value of the taxable property of
the township. Let the state issue it's
bonds at 3 per cent to cover one-half of
the Indebtedness and loan its credit for
the township half of indebtedness, limit
ing the aggregate Indebtedness to $20,-
0O0,0 A state tax of not exceeding
one-ifth Of 1 per cent and q like tax on
township property wonld soon liquidate
the bonds.
| have made careful inquiry as to the
cost of rock and gravel roads and find
that the cost will not exceed $4,000 per
mile. Let us illustrates: Say the taxable
assessed value of a township property is
81, 900 900. An Indebtedness of $50, 00O
can be created, of which the state pays
$$25, 600 and the township 500 900. This
will build 25 miles of road.
AS to the justice and equity of this
proposition, it will be remembered that
the bulk of the recent Indebtedness OF
the state, now so nearly liquidated, was
contracted by loaning the credit of the
state for building railroads; that the lien
was subsequently released. and thu
whole state, including all the portions
not Immediately benefited by the rail
roads, have uncomplainingly aided in
liquidating the debt.
Can any one doubt but that with sucl
a system of roads the taxable wealth
would in 90 years double in value?-St

HIGHWAY ENGINEERING.
Good Roads Require Technical Skill In
Their Constru ctiOn.

Their Construction.
Good roads require something more
than the labor of farmers measured out
in the spring payment Of a petty poll
tax. In fact, farmers might devote half
their time to working on the road" and
country highways would then show but
little improvement over their present
condition. 1t is not more work that is
needed, but better plans; the methods
Of construction must be scientific.
This means that there must be a new
profession of highway engineering. 1t
may constitute a branch of civil engi-
neering, but it will extend into a field
which the civil engineer has not the
time to enter. Schools and colleges
should make provision for this new pro-
fession. The course of study will in
clude first the Importance of good roads.
The student must know that their uses
are commercial, social, political and
military, and to what extent each of
these elements of our national existence
and prosperity depends upon the common
means of INSTRUMENTATION. This in
wolves a history of highways extending
from the times of the Romans and
Egyptians, since it is we'll known that
their supremacy in the world Of their
day was largely due to magnificent
roadways.
There are many points of distinction
between a road and a street which the
student must master. Coming specific
ally to the road, attention must be
given to its expense Or economy. Then
will follow the questions of shape or
cross section, surface or finish, direction
OF alignment, and grade or inclination.
There is much to learn on the subjects
of location, workmanship, maintenance
| and legislation. The mere enumeration
of these points is sufficient to show that
good roads depend upon technical skill
| quite as much as railroads and bridges.
They can never be had by the aimless
blowing and scraping which the path
master throughout the country orders
every spring, not even though the work
extended through the year.
1t must be that every farmer realizes
the money value of good roads. "In the
western wheat region, says a statement
in the tenth census report, according
to the estimates received, it costs the or
binary farmer moro to carry a bushel of
wheat a mile than it does the ordinary
railroad to carry a ton; consequently
when we get west of Lake Michigan it
rarely pays to grow wheat more than
twenty miles from rail OF water ira Is
portation." Having been convinced of
the enormou odds against him In lis
competition with the rest Of the wor d,
the farmer is helpless in the effort to
equalize the conditions so far Is reach
ing a market is concerned. He must
turn his roads over to some who
knows what they lack and can supply it.
The highway engineer is a necessity of
the future.-Chicago Herald.

In Favor of Better Highways.

The authorities of Vermont and New
Hampshire, who are looking after the
abandoned farms in those states, report
that they have a list of 1,70O wealthy
men in the eastern cities who express a
willingness to purchase farms for sum-
mer residences as 0 o as the road sys-
tenn is improved.
The lesson in this case is applicable to
every section. There are thousands Of
wealthy men in southern cities who
would purchase farms and keep them up
in good style if the country roads were
in first class condition. Atlanta Consti-

Business and Pleasure.

Good roads are a necessity to the eco
nomic conduct of the farmers business,
yet farmers fail to organize and agitate
on behalf of them. Good roads are a
necessity to the enjoyment of a cyclists
recreation, and the cyclists have formed
the strongest single body working for
good roads in the country. Surely bust
ness is more important than pleasure,
and the agriculturist is as farsighted as
the MISUNDERSTANDING Dispatch.

Burglars and malefactors of all classes
might still be utilized in many parts of
the country if only the state legislatures
could be induced to enact the proper
laws. If the convicts of Alabama or Ar

upon the public roads and kept there I'M

Bad Roads Injure Fruit.

Sluman S. Bailey, in his address be-
fore the Michigan Fruit Growers asso-
citation, has furnished another excellent
argument for good roads. He shows
how fruit growers lose heavily in dam
age to their produce by reason of %jolting
on heavy and uneven roads. Better
roads-the very best roads-will put
money in the pockets of fruit growers.
This same thing is true of other classes
Of farmers.-Detroit Tribune.
