extreme and fill up ruts and holes with
stone or large gravel. In many cases if
would be wiser to dump such material in

lofHly with the rest of the material but
produce bumps and ridges, and in nearly
every case result in making two holes
instead or one. Every hole or rut in 2

good material like that of which tho

with water, and finally with mrd and

important consideration is that of con-

EARTH ROADS.
OF earth roads, as commonly built, it
suffices to say hat their present cOndi-
ti0ns should not be tolerated in communi-
ties where there are any other materials
with which to improve them. Earth is
the poorest of all road materials, aside
from sand, and earth roads require more
attention than any other kind of roads,
and as 4 rule get less. At best, they
possess SO many defects that thcy should
have all the attention and care Of which
their condition is susceptible. With
Garth alone, however, a very passable
road can be made, provided the prin-
ciples of location, drainage, and shape of
surface, together with that of keeping
