rhe 1muortance of Grading.

Good roads add materially to the
value Of any country. A recent visit
in the rural sections convinces US that
the two important factors In the I'M
provementofroadsa are the cutting down
Of grades and a thorough drainage TO
prevent the damage done to roads by
streams of water flowing from water
sheds. II is waste of money simply to
repair the surface Of the road while
permitting high grades to continue,
preventing the transport Of economical
loads Of wood or farm produce. The
practice should also be condemned OF
covering powders and rocks in the
roadway with earth in the fall. They
should be removed by blasting or by
the use of the crowbar, thus remedy
ING the trouble once for all.-American
