"The great secret Of success In road
making and bookkeeping is to drain
the roads, and keep the roads drained
by keeping the bitches open.p writes
John Gilmoi Speed on How to Have
Good County Roads, In tho August
Ladies' Homo journal. "The cid
method was to run plow through tho
side bitches and throw tho disturbed
soil, sod and all, in tho middle OF tho
road. There IL would stay tilla heavy
rain came to wash this soil back into
tho ditchos and I'LL them up again. II
there were money enough this kind OF
thing would be done over and over
again, as often as four times in year.
Where there was wet spots broken
stones or gravel would be placed in the
road and left for the passing wagons to
wear this metal into ruts. The money
spent was absolutely thrown away.
BY the new process all the road

the bitches. The water must not be
suffered TO run in the road, but OF the
road. Tho rainfall, being thus simply
and effectively disposed OF, becomes q
most beneficial instead Of a destructive
agent; 1t cleans. and shapes, and hard
ems the roadway. instead Of washing II
away and deepening the ruts. When
there are wet places, such as springs,
in the roadway. gravel and broken
stones will not cure such things. Tho
water must bc drained Off underneath
the roadway and into the bitches by
means OF pipe or blind drains. The
whole thing is 30 simple that any one
can easily master the principles and
put the details into practical opera
