the soil 80 thar two horses will carry
the machine about as easily az four
will without the blowing. As rule,
the travel Of the road should not be.
disturbed BY plow. 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 practica BILE to
drain otherwise, and when the soil is
retentive and heavy. freezing deeply
gives soft and muddy surface in
spring. It is well to cut down squarely
just beyond the. wheel ruts, a foot or
more and let the soil form 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
Stones from the fields and useless
wall upon the roadside may be used at
the bottom. finishing off with small
cobbles and crushed stone with good
coat of gravel over all.
It is about impossible to make sat.
isfactory roads on clay without in some
way providing drainage. SO .contrived
that the least possible water will re-
main in the material which forms the
travel of the road. Deep side bitches,
n narrow roadbed with high crown,
thus making the water level 20 inches
to two feet below the travel is one way
to form very fair road out of very
poor material. This is improved by 4
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
fextend at least foot below the surface
to bind the clay and withstand heavy
trayel.-L.: F. Abbott. in Ohio Farmer.

AGRICULTURAL HINTS.
PERMANENT ROADS.

How to Build Them and the Mate
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 q good road. Gravel is next in i'm.
portance, and clay can be proftably
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. r
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 thu
time the annual round of repairs j.
gone through with, the money ap
propriated is so far exhausted that
an outlay for permanent improve
mentS is not warraDte6. whereas i

Jowett's Sense of Humor.

The late master of Balliol college, Ok

moved by peoples opinion. There is a
story of Bishop harrington and Phil

was at the time Barrington's secre-

In conclusion he says:
"Every atom of American manhood re-
volts against the spectacle. Judges, by
the usurpatiOn of power, and playing the
role of tyrants, have annihilated the con,
stitution, abrogated the right of trial by
jury, forbidden free speech, suppressed
peaceable assemblage and transformed our
republic into an absolute despotism. They
are guilty of judicial treason and should
be made to answer at the bar of an out
ragged people.

and We have retreated before it to the
verge of slavery. Let us now meet it
as it would have been met by the pat
