material in place. and should extend
to the cutters at the same curvature
as the finished road. The foundation
should then be rolled until hard and
smooth.
Upon this bed spread a layer of 5
or inches Of broken stone, which
stone should be free from any earthly
mixture. This layer should be
thoroughly rolled until compact and
firm. Stone may be hauled from the
stonecrusher bins or from the stone
piles in ordinary wheelbarrows or
from wagons, and should be distrib.
uted broadcast over the surface
with shovels, and all inequalities lev.
eled up by the rakes. II this method
OF spreading is employed. grade
stakes should be used so as TO insure
uniformity Of thickness. After the
stakes are driven the height of the
layer is marked on their sides, and If
thought necessary a piece of stout
cord is stretched from stake to stake
showing the exact height of which
the layer should be spread. Spread.
ing carts have been recently invented
which not only place the stone where
II is needed without the use of
shovels, but spread 1t on in layers of
any desired thickness and at the same
time several inches wider than the
carts themselves.
If the stones have been separated
into two or three different sizes, the
largest size should compose the bot.
tom layer, the next size the second
layer etc. The surface Of each course
or layer should be thoroughly and
repeatedly rolled and sprinkled until
It becomes firm, compact and smooth.
The first layer, however, should not be
sprinkled, as the water is liable soften

be done along the side lines first,
gradually working toward the center
as the job is being completed. In
rolling the last course it is we'll to
begin by rolling first the shoulder
ings or the side roads II such exist.
A coat Of three-quarter inch stone
and screenings, of sufficient thickness
to make a smooth and uniform sur.
face, should compose the last course,
and, like the other layers, should be
rolled until perfectly firm and smooth.

Another great mistake is often made
Of spreading large and small stones
over a well-graded and well-drained
foundation and leaving them thus for
trahic to consolidate. The surface Of
road left in this manner is often
kept In constatn turmoil by the larger
stones, which work. themselves to the
surface and are knocked hither and
thither by the wheels Of vehicles and
the feet Of animals. These plans Of
construction can not be too severely
condemned.

soil is in strata varying in hardness,
or where the foundation is liable TO
get soft in spots. Under most other
circumstances experienced road build
ers prefer the macadam construction,
not only because it is considered
best. but also because 1t is much
cheaper.
Maeadam Construction.
The macadam road consists OF a
mass OF angular fragments OF rock
deposited usually in layers upon the
roadbed or prepared foundation AMI
10 a smooth. hard sur
face produced by the passage OF Yehi'
cles or by use Of a road roller. The
thickness Of the crust varies with the
soil, the nature OF the stone used,
and the amount Of trafic which the
road is expected 10 have. II should
be so thick that the greatest load will
not affect the foundation. The weight
usually comes upon a very small part
Of the surface. but Is spread over
the thicker the crust the more uni
formly will the load be distributed
over the foundation.
Macadam earnestly advocated the
