IMPORTANCE OF DRAINING ROADS.
Country Gentleman

Many town boards and highway commits
sioners are making mistake in purchasing
stone crushers under the impression tina, crush
ed stone given by the residents along the road.
if placed upon the crown of the road, will
make dry, hard roadway without further
work. The Idea is absurd, and manya town
is learning that it has thrown away its money
in the purchase of stone crusher and that 1t
has received from the residents in the hopes of
getting good road, and that this material,
once used, can never be obtained again and
similar material may have to be brought at
great expense from outside the town when the
next stone road is wanted.
The secret of road construction is drainage.
In New York, on three.rod road, there falls
annually, on a mile of highway, % tons OF
water, and this is the greatest enemy that the
highway commissioner has to contend with.
Horses hoofs, narrow tires or heavy loads do
not commence to make the impression upon 8
roadway that this immense volume OF water
does. The road surface is roof, throwing the
water on either side to the bitches. Ii this
surface is properly crowned (not too high, or
ruts will be created say on a 16-fo0t road If
the crown in the center is inches higher than
the Sides so that the water runs promptly TO
the bitches, the road will be good in all seasons.
Crushed stULe thrown upon the surface OF
road and no provision made for drainage and
bitches, simply goes out of sight in the mud.
and the mud comes to the surface and in a few
years You would never know that any work
had been done on that road. The crushed
stone is not worn out, but has sunk below the
surface of the road Many highway commits
sioners and taxpayers speak IN wonder of
mudhole into which, year after year, they have
put stone, earth and rubbish to ill it up, and
W hich have constantly gone ont of sight. Ii
this mudhoe had ditch made from its bot
tom to the side of the road, so that the water
could run into the main ditch, and was then
filled, it would stay filled and cause no further
trouble.

$50 Patter-patter-
Listen how the rAindrOps clatter,
Falling on the single roof;
How they rattle,
Like the rifles click in battle,
Or the chargers iron hoof.
Cool and pleasant
Is the evening air at present,
Gathering freshness from the rain;
Languor chasing,
Muscle, thew and einew bracing,
And enlivening the brain.
Close together
Draw the bands of love in weather
When the sky is overcast;
Eyeballs glisten-
Thankfully we sit and listen
To the rain that's coming fast.
Dropping dropping
Like dissolving diamonds-pOpping
'Gainst the crystal window pane,
AS if seeking
Entrance welcome, and bespeaking
Our affection for the rain.
Quick and quicker
Come the drOppings, thick and thicker
Pour the hasty torrents down;
Rushing-rushing-
From the leaden spOuts a. gushing,
Cleansing all the streets in town.
Darkness utter
Gathers round; we close the shutter:
Snugly SHELTERED let us keep.
Still unceasing
Falls the rain; but oh tits pleasing
Meath such lullaby to sleep.
tsS How love it I!
Let the miser money covet-
! Let the soldier seek the fight;
.fa $50 Give me only,
When lie awake and lonely,
Music made by rain at night.
