To MIKE a Good ROnd.

A good road can be made by putting
in layer of large or medium sized
stone. then OH that layer Of crushed
stone, and on that a covering Of gravel.
and rolling the surface down hard ana
smooth. But that is not all that Is
needed. A part of the skill Is like the
old gcntlcman's rule for making good
coffee: "Whcn you make 1t put In
some" We have been watching the
work on a bit of road this season.
There are about three inches In depth
of the round cobblc stones. one inch of
crushed stone and one inch Of gravel
ana loan mixed. which by wcttlng and
rolling has been so pressed down into
the stones that 1t Is now less than u

good example Of how not to make a
good road. II is one of those cases,
too common. where the town thought
to give employment to Its own citizens,
instead of hiring the work done by con,

to have employed competent man,
with able-bodled help, and supported
its cripples from the towns poor fund,
than to have paid them S1.I5 for eight

by reason of old age, and others were
utterly incompetent to do well. while
