HOW to Build Them and the Nate,
rails to BE Used.
The best road construction REQUIRES
right material. The three principal
things are stones, gravel and clay.
Each town where suitable stones are
plenty should own one or more stone
crushers. Crushed stone forms the
very best material for the foundation
OF good road. Gravel is next in i'm
portance, and clay can be profitably
used on sand, and in some instances
sand on clay formation.
The lack of proper drainage in the
roadbed is the cause of large part
OF the poor roads in the country. Good
drainage of the roadbed is as impor-
tant as the use of good material. A
substratum constantly gorged with
water from hidden springs can never
be depended upon to build on and
afford dry and solid road. The first
essential is to get rid of the water on
the surface and below it.
The right policy of road improve
ment contemplates more or less per-
manent improvements upon town and
county roads each year. The fault
OF the district system and the appro.
priated labor method is that only
temporary work is done, so, by the
time the annual round of repairs is
gone through with, the money ap-
propriated is SO far exhausted that
an outlay for permanent improve.

roads in charge, certain portions of
the worst places which now call for
annual repairs should be permanent
ly made over, even if it takes higher
appropriation yearly for few years.
Take, for instance, a stretch of road
where the soil is springy, or for any
cause the drainage is imperfect. No
permanent improvements can be made
in such places without proper drain
age is effected.
TO do this adequately open ditch
four feet or more wide and three and
half to four feet deep in the center
of the travel. Fill this with rough
stones, placing the first ones thrown
in SO as to form an open drain; fill
in the stone till within a foot of the
top, using the smallest stones for the
top; if a crusher is in use the coarser
of these, which is best. then cover with
evergreen boughs or straw and finish
with gravel. The idea is shown in FIG.
1. The important thing: is that these
drains always lead to and end at an
open culvert. This is an effectual
remedy for 'honey pots' or slough
holes when the frost is leaving the
ground in spring.
+ The. town of Winthrop, in this state,
is noted for its good roads. Nearly
30 years ago the town discarded the
district system, and elected road
commissioner who has held the place
to the present time. From almost i'm
passable highways in the spring OF
the year, that is, over certain portions,

ago the surface was covered with
crushed stone three or four inches
deep, and thoroughly pressed down
with the steam roller. On top of this
screened stone and coarse gravel was
placed two inches deep and rolled
A finishing coat of ground granite,
an inch or more in depth when rolled,
gave a hard and even surface. The
roadway is some 30 feet from ditch
to ditch.> Such roads are costly to
build, of course, but the universal opin-
ion among men of good judgment in
these matters seems to be that such
thorough work pays, and is the cheap
est in the end. See Fig.2.
In using the road machine on the
country roads the proper thing to do
is, first, to ruin the pillow along the out
or limit of the gutter or ditch: This
gives straight ditch and loosens up

CRUSHED STONE ON CLAY.

these 65 miles of highway have been
transformed into smooth and dry
roads. Nearly four miles of stone
drains have been put in, varying from
four or five rods in length to over
100 rods long.
Gravel forms the best material for
road surface. Sand has no use in the
roadbed except in clay or kindred
formation. A clay foundation is one
of the worst for good and permanent
road building. Clay packs in dry
weather but softens up easily during
rainfall. Successful work in making
solid and durable roadbed on a CLAW
foundation has been done in this
town. The first section was put down
two years ago and thus far affords
dry, solid, and apparently durable
roadbed. For years the practice had
been, annually and as often as rains
and large amount of travel rendered
the road muddy and uneven, to haul
on crushed stone and keep the surface

the travel of the road should not be
disturbed by pillow. or machine where
a fairly good roadbed has previously
been secured. Neither should the
soil and wash of the bitches be car
ried up by the machine and placed on
the surface. Soil makes soft road.
This should always be covered in deep
ly in some way, and let the hard pan
or substratum form the top.
In some places it is necessary to re-
move the top soil a foot or more in depth
and fill in stone. Such places frequent
ly occur where it is not practicable to
drain otherwise, and when the soil is
retentive and heavy, freezing deeply
gives soft and muddy surface in
spring. 1t is well to cut down squarely
Just beyond the wheel ruts, foot or
more and let the soil form a shoulder
to hold the stone. Form the bitches
upon the sides rather shallow so as not
to remove the support to the shoulder
which holds the stone from sliding from
the roadbed. See Fig.3.

that the least possible water will re-

thus making the water level 20 inches
to two feet below the travel is one way
to form a very fair road out of very
poor material. This is improved by Il
mingling of sand, gravel or "shingle,"
with the clay to such proportions as the
readily available supply will admit
even to one-half. This commingled
gravel or other solid substance should

Cooking destroys all germs.
Onions respond proitably to an an

JOvett's Sense of Humor.

The late master of Balliol college, OK
ford. DR.. Jowett, loved good story, es-
pecially one which exhibited the comic
side of things. During sickness from
which he suffered many ills he was
asked by a friend how he was. Jswett
replied by quoting the words of Sydney
Smith, then canon of St. Paul's, who,
when atGthe point of which"
said Jowett, II am not"-declared that
there, was not as much left of him as
would make minor canon! To an
pther friend who urged him to per-
unit the publication of some of his SER
mons DR.. Jowett said: "Publish moth
ing that is not quite good. Don't be
moved by peoples opinion. There is a
story of Bishop Darlington and Phil
potts, afterward bishop of Exeter, who
was at the time Barrington's secre-
taiy. The bishop said: 4 wish you to
select for publication 1: of my SER
mons that you think will do me least
discredit.' Shortly after, when the SER
mons had been chosen, the bishop
asked: DO you think that these will
do me credit?' 4 prefer, my lord,' an
