Road Notes.

In some sections of our country the horses of double team travel just in front of tho wheels. and the broad tire rolls down what the hoofs cut.
 It is said that sharp shoes and points are equally destructive to the roadbed as narrow tires.
 New Jersey farmers carry lS0 baskets of peaches over the stone roads. Over the old roads 23 baskets was the load.
 Tho essentials to a perfect road are . deep foundation and a good watershed surface. With these and the use of broad tread wagons the stone roads will last for years.
 During the past year Mercer county, N. J., has spent over $100, 900 in mac adam roads. Burlington has spent near- ly esoo, eco and Middlsssx about $2S.- 00o.
