SURFACE DRAINAGE,

tShowing method of surface drainage where
the road runs down hill. The short bitches
connecting the roadway with the s;do bitches
are made with a diagonal pitch down the
grade so as to catch the running water in the
roadway and carry it to tho side ditchcsl
road that will stay good unless some plan
is adopted to get rid of the surplus wa
ter To state it briefly, drainage is tho
first and most important thing to be at
tended to.
The road must have sido bitches, of
course. Side bitches catch the water
which runs from the roadway and from
the surface Of the ground ON each side
Of the roadway. They also receive the
drifts of snow which are scrapcd from
the road in winter and the water which.
comes from melting snow ard ice in
spring. If possible, the side ditch should
be about three feet from the edge of tho
Travelled roadway, and there should gen
orally be side ditch on ctHh side. If
the travelled roadway is ii feet wide,
there will then be 90 feet OF clear space
between the bitches. Ii tho Travelled
roadway is Is feet wide there will be
% feet of clear space Vow and then
we shall find a place where the road
way is too narrow for these figures, and
in such cases we may have to get along

While the important subject of high
way Improvement is under much too
deliberate consideration in many locali-
ties some of the people in New jersey
have been up and doing and will soon
accomplish about all that the most cn-
thusiastfc believer in road reform could
desire. Such legislation ITS the wide
awake Jerseymen needed WIS enacted
as soon rs it was asked for, and tho re-
suits have been wonderfully beneficial
The work has been and is being done
under the supervision Of the country
authorities, and already four counties
have made great progress toward the
possession of Il complete system of first
class roads Singularly enough, the
counties in which the least progress has
been made are those in which the farm
ers are III majority. 1t would be but
natural to suppose that the agricultural
element of the population would be
most anxious to have the highways in
their immediate vicinity so improved
that heavy loads could easily bo trans
ported to and from market, So well has
the Jersey system worked that it would
pay the farmers of Maryland and Vir-
glnia to investigate the methods being
operated in the country of the "sand
Spaniards" and put the information to
local use. With good roads leading to
the centcrs of consumption, agriculture
would be much more profitable than it
Is now. Farmers arc all willing to add
NIT this, but not one in hundred
deems 1t his duty to become personally
active in agitation of the subject Or
ganization of practically all the people
interested is the only way out Wash
