Keeping Roads In Condition.

Fred Grundy, in Farm and Fireside,
tells us he has been watching road

earth road, and he has kept it in
good condition, not by macadamizing

stone, but by providing good drain.
age, by tile in most places, to take
the water off, and by digging out
some of the worst places about Is
inches deep and filling with broken
brick, tile, coal, cinders or whatever
will make a firm foundation, and al
low water to drain through. Then if
the roads are rounded up to allow
the water to run off and they get
o little attention after every rain,
they are easily kept in good condi-
tion. The results are much better
and the cost much less than they
were for the annual turnout of the
district to mend, or often to make
worse the roads, the job being ex.
pected then to be done until the same
season comes around another year.

trenches shown in the figure as trend.
ing diagonally toward the right-hand
lower corner. From these trenches
the wa ter can be turned upon the low
er fields so that the excess or seepage
is not wasted, but is employed ON the
less elevated tracts.
Canvas dams are generally employed
in checking the waters over the field,
as they are most convenient. The fol
lowing description will enable anyone
TO construct them, and will also ex-
plain their use. The materials used in
the construction of canvas dam are
a piece of timber, usually a two by
four scantling, long enough to reach
across the top of the ditch from bank
to bank; a small stick varying in
length according to the width OF the
ditch to be damned, but no longer
/ than will lie across the bottom of the
ditch without leaving any consider
| able space between the stick and the
bottom; q brace or stick about one
third longer than the depth of the
q ditch and piece Of canvas about one
third wider than the depth Of the
ditch and as long as the width Of the
ditch At the upper edge. The canvas
| is cut into a trapezoidal shape. some.
what resembling but larger than 8
section Of the ditch. The long edge OF
the canvas Is fastened to the scant
ling first described and the short edge
to the small stick. 1t is we'll to have
q little margin Of the canvas below
this short stick.
Tho dam is placed by throwing the
scantling across the ditch just below
the point at which it is desired to di
vert the water. The canvas rests II
the ditch, with the short stick lyins
ACROSS the bottom, far enough ul
stream from the location Of the scant
ling to make the canvas nearly tight
The brace is placed with one enc
against the scantling and the othel
against the short stick, thus prevent
ing the canvas from being WASHED
back under the scantling.
A little earth is thrown upon tn,
loose edges of the canvas, where /
rests against the banks and agains
the bottom Of the ditch, and tn
water Is turned in. The weight Of tn
water presses the canvas against tn
banks, 50 that there is scarcely an,
leakage. In some cases permanen
dams with head gates are placed il
the bitches, and this is often don
where bitches branch and it is desira
BILE to divert the water to one or tn.
other branch.-W. j. Blanchard, il
