MAKING SAND ROADS.
With n Proper Admixture of Clay
Durable Highways Result.

Judge Eve reports that he has been
claying the sand roads of Richmond
county, Ga, for twenty years with the
result of obtaining very pleasant hard
roads that last five years without re-
building"
The rule is to put down six inches Of
clay with two inches of sand on top of
1t, and it is better to put on the sand
when the clay is wet. When the right
proportions are used, "a crust is form
ed which sheds the water, and the road
stays in good condition"
The rOadbed should, Of course, be
first graded properly and raised in the
middle so as to shed water to the
drains. In dry weather the clay sand
road Is ideal. which cannot be said Of
a sandy road. The cost OF construction
is in proportion to the distance the clay
has to be hauled. There are seventy
five miles OF such roads in Richmond
county. 1t is equally efficient to sand
the clay roads. Before 1880 Judge Eve
says finally, many stretches for sew
eral miles along our roads were I'M
cultivated. Now they are in a high
state of cultivation, and land values
have handsomely increased"

Economy of Good Roads.

The saving effected through the con-
struction OF scientific roads, which can
be kept In good running condition at
small annual expense, would more than
pay for the full cost OF road building of
half n century ago. says G. L. Walsh
In Gunton's Magazine. This saving is
not always apparent at first, for the
first cost seems to overshadow all 9TH
er considerations In the minds OF the
shOrtsishted economists. 1t took two
decades Of agitation to convince most
OF the residents OF rural districts that
1t was more profitable to build good
roads under the direction OF road engi-
neers than to rebuild and repair the
old dirt roads after fashion in vogue
since the beginning Of things. The
greatest triumph in the movement may
be said to be the complete education OF
the farmers to a proper appreciation
and understanding OF the whole Ques-
ton OF scientific road building.

Draining the Road.

Where the roadmaker encounters
seepy or soft ground in the subgrade,
such places should be properly and
thoroughly drained by the use of drain
tile laid along the center OF the road
way on one or more lines to culverts
intersecting across the road. thus
draining and drying out the subgrade
and giving him a dry foundation OH
which to build, as the presence of any
undue quantity of moisture under the
roadway would prevent him from do
ing permanent work. The success OF
his efforts Will depend ell tirely upon
the drainage he obtains.
