Graceful and natural curves conform
ing to the lay of the land add beauty to
the landscape, besides enhancing the
value OF property. Not only do level
curved roads add beauty to the land
scape and make lands along them more
valuable, but the horse is able to utilize
his full strength over them Gig. 81: fur
thermore a horse can pull only four
flfthS as much on a grade of two feet in
100 feet, and this gradually lessons Until
with a grade of ten feet in 100 feet he
can draw but one-fourth as much as he
can on n level road.
All roads should therefore wind around
nils or be cut through instead OF run
ming over them, and in many cases the
former can be done without greatly in
creasing the distance. To Illustrate. if
an apple or pear be cut in half and one
OF the halves placed on a fiat surface, it
Will be seen that the horizontal distance
around from stem to blossom is no
greater than the distance over between
tie same points.
The wilfulness of one or two private
individuals sometimes becomes a barrier
TO traffic and commerce. The great
drawback to the laying out of roads on
the principle referred to is that of the
necessity, III some cases, of building
them through the best lands, the choicest
pastures and orchards, instead, as they
do now. of cutting around the farm line
or passing through old WORKOUT fields or
over rocky knolls. But if farmers wish
PEOPLE to know that they have good
farms, good cattle, sheep, or horses,
good grain, fruit, or vegetables, they
should let the roads go through the best
parts Of the farms.
III ~, lo,~+l two n
straight road and one which is slightly
curved is less than one would imagine.
Says Sganzin; III a road between two
places ten miles apart were made TO
curve 50 that the eye could see no farther
than a quarter of a mile of it at once,
it's length would exceed that of a per-
fectly straight road between the same
! points by only about $50 yards" Even if
the distance around a hill be much great
er, it is often more economical to con-
struct it that way than to go over and
EecesSitate the expenditure of large
amounts OF money IN reducing the grade,
or a waste of much valuable time and
energy in transporting goods that way.
Gillespie says that, as a general rule.
the horizontal length Of a road may be
advantageously increased to avoid an
ascent by at least twenty times the per-
pendlcular nelghl "hlcn IS tHu6 70 W
evoided-that is, to escape a hill 100 feet
high, it would be proper for the road to
make such a circuit as would increase
It's length 1000 feet" The mathematical
axiom that "a straight line is the short
est distance between two points is not
therefore,, 1he best rule to follow in lay
ing out a road; better is the proverb
tina 1.-The longest way round is the
shortest way home
GRADES.
The grade is the most important factor
to be considered in the location OF roads
The smoother the road surface, the less
the grade should be. :

r.,. fig 800 is essential for speedy re-
. horse roller Gig. 46) may be
.4 ro good advantage if the softer va
....fas of stone are employed. For gen.
f rurposes. a roller weighing from 3
- tons is all that is necessary. Heav-
WEIGHTS are difficult to handle upon
.-.n.rroved surfaces unless they be con-
...r-.r43 like the one shown in fig. 46, the
,..f.,ht of which can be increased or
f:5,t,pad at will by filling the drum with
s..r.r or drawing the water out. This
,..f.r can be made to weigh as much as

..1-nt ones now on the market, is pro-
r..ef with antifriction roller bearings,
.nteh tighten the draft considerably.
4fnding Material-Every stone road,
.oless properly built with small stones
md Just enough binding material to fill
,ha yojds. presents o honeycombed APP
rrarance. In fact, a measure containing
ruhic feet of broken macadam will
hold in addition l cubic foot of water, and
- cubic yard of broken macadam will
weigh lust about one-half as much as a
solid cubic yard of the same kind of stone.
Isaac Potter says:
To insure a solid rOadWay and to fill
1ha large proportion of voids or inter
.rrfes between the different pieces of
broken stone some finer material must
he introduced into the structure of the
roadway. and this material is usually
called 4 binder, or by some rOadmakerS a
|"tIler.'
There used to be much contention re-
garding the use of binding material in
lie making OF a macadam road, but it is
row conceded by nearly all practical and
l<rrIieHced rOadmakers. both - lIurop~
uud America. that the use of Il binding
material is essential to the proper con-
struction of a good macadam road. 1t
adds to It's solidity, insures tightness by
closing all of the spaces between the
loose irregular stones, and binds. to-
gether the macadam crust in a way that
gives it f%lrnness, elasticity and dura-
Ility."
Binding material to produce the best
results should be equal III hardness and
roughness with the road stone; the best
results are therefore obtained by using
screenings or spalls from the broken
stone used. Coarse SAND or gravel can
sometimes be used with impunity as a
Ginder. but the wisdom of using loan or
clay is very much questioned. When the
after material is used for a binde the
road is apt to become very dusty IN dry
weather.. and sticky, muddy and Iutty in
wet weather.
Telford Construction.-The character OF
the foundation should never take the
place of proper drainage. The advisable
ity of underground or subdrainage should
always be carefully considered where
the road is liable to be attacked from be-
reath by water. In most cases good
SUbdrains will so dry the foundation out
THAT the macadam construction can be
resOrted to. Sometimes. however, thor
ough drainage is difficult or doubtful
