TELFoRD BEFORE wEDGINa.

1t is then imperative to cut or fill, or
both, as may be found most expedient,
in order to give sufficient fall in the
cutters to carry the water to the near
est stream. Underdrains are also re-
CURED in such places to relieve the
subsoil of water This matter of secur-
ing dry foundation for the pave
ment is really the most important
end to be gained by grading, as the
pavement may be constructed and
permanently maintained on grades of
very inconvenient steepness, bnt if the
drainage is neglected the existence of
the pavement itself is imperiled.
The total depth of pavement was
generally twelve inches. On some of
the roads the telford founda ion was
not laid under the entire width of the
pavement, but strip two feet wide on
each side consisted of macadam stone
only. Underdrains were laid wherever
required to relieve the subgrade of
water and to fit it for rolling and con-
solidation.
The telford foundation consist ed Of
trap rock on most of the roads, hard
granulite or similar stone being used
on the others. The stones were of the
general wedge shape shown in the IL
lustration, set on their bases and
placed side by side with their longest
dimensions transverse TO the line of the
road.
The stones were at least eight inches
deep, the base being from eight to
twelve inches in length and not less
than four inches in width. After a
sufficient length of this foundation had
been laid all projecting points of stone
were broken off with hammers, and
smaller stones, spalls and chips were
wedged and hammered into every open
ing until the whole was made rigid
mass of stone. This process of KNAPP
ping was continued until all points
above grade were broken off, the low
places filed with stone, and the telford
presented a sufficiently even surface at
the proper grade
The foundation was then rolled thor
oughly, the roller used weighing at
least five tons In the construction of
the latter roads thin layer of clay
was spread over the tslford previous to
the rolling to prevent the screenings
(Which were to be applied later from
sitting through the foundation, and
also to form a cushion for the macadam
stone

FARM AND GARDEN.
THE MAKING OF ROADS.


Importance of Easy Grades Is Not Under
stood Generally.
Mr.. F. A. Durham, who was the en-
gineer in charge of road improvements
in Union county, N. j., and other popu-
lar suburbs of New York, the results Of
which have been in high degree sat
!sfactory, in a communication to Good
Roads gives his general plan of opera
tons:
All the roads were carefully located
and mapped, and accurate levels were
taken and profiles made for establish
ing the grades, particular care being
taken with this part of the work, as it
was considered of the greatest inn
portance. On the earlier roads some
quite heavy earthwork was done both
in excavation and embankment in order
to reduce steep grades as much as pos
Bible. On later work, however, it was
considered advisable to reduce the cost
of the earthwork. and in order to do
this grades were established which
necessarily followed more nearly the
general surface of the old roads. Suffi-
cient grading was always done, how
S'SA, w SCSuAC oNO4udtC All
drainage.
The benefits to be secured by expend-
ing even moderate amount of money
in improving the grade of roads about
to be paved are not appreciated as they
should be. Hills and hollows which
might have been improved at a very
slight expense are often left in the road
to be a continual detriment to its use
fulness 1t should be renem bered that
1t is not expected nor desired to make
level road, but that often only small
amount of earth need be taken from
the top of hill and added to the hol-
low at its foot to convert bad, hilly
road into n good one with easy grades
We should also bear in mind that this
expense of grading, once incurred, is
forever done with, while if the need of
grading shonld be realized after the
completion of the pavement all the
work done upon the latter would have
to be sacrificed.
Sometimes the road is too level, al
lowing the water to settle at slight de-
pressions and saturate the subgrade.

COUCHES FOR DOLLS
How Little Girls Can Put In Their Time
on Rainy Days.

on Rainy Days.
Children like to know of some small
work they can do on a rainy day that
they have to spend indoors. l shall
describe some such work here, but it is
for doll, and so seems only for little
girls; all the same, a boy will be needed
with hammer and nails.
To make such couch find n wooden
box long enough to fit your doll: that
is, little longer than she is and about
seven or eight inches wide and five or
six inches high.
If box cannot be found to suit. one
can be taken to pieces and the parts
sawed the right size, then joined to-
gether again neatly.
Set the box upside down. and pad the
fiat top by putting over it some layers
of cotton batting until it is soft but
not too thick.
Over this stretch some strong cotton
cloth and bring it down over the sides
of the box, securing it with tacl1s.
Over this put piece of covering you
have chosen for the couch. This may
y
goods, but have it some color not so
light as to fade or grow soiled very
soon. Tack this top piece down also.
Then take n long strip of the same
goods about three times as long as the
distance around the box and little
wider than its height. Hem one edge
of the strip, making the hem half an
