Earth Roads.

A road should not be wider than
TWENTY-FIVE feet AN ordinary rain
win never hurt a road, but the storm
waters and snow thawing IN spring
will cut and wash out the roads /;
therefore the roads should not be
made over twenty-five feet wide, SO
that the centre Of the road is close
enough to the bitches to- give the fall
ing waters a chance to reach them.
The centre of a. road should not be
more than two feet higher than the
bottom of the bitches : if the centre
lis higherea loaded wagon will slide
into the ditch If the road is frozen.
In winter.
I also find that in a long slope
say one-half mile long, or longer, and
where the road is higher on one side
than on the other, a culvert pipe
should be put in every forty rods to
lead the water into the lower ditch,
as the higher side of the road gathers
more water. For culverts nothing but
sewer tile should be used. When put
ting in a3culvert a mln should alwaYs
take into consideration the amount of
water it has to carry, and whether the
ground to~be drained is more level
or slipping. If the gfound is more
on the level a small tile, by giving
it the. proper fall, will take care OF
an immense amount of water; but
on sloping ground it will takefa much
larger t~culvert, as the water comes
rushing down the hills, and if the
culvert is too small. and has not the
proper fall, the water will u e the
road. The culverts should not be laid
too deep, to keep them from clogging,
but, the dirt on the top Of the culvert
should be higher than the adjacent
ground, SO that in case the water
should break it will not disturb the
culvert "a II SA]sN @aS
A road bed twehty4fye feet wide is
wide enough even on al hillside 1t is
true a deep ditch will wash out on
both sides, but as, the road wears
down twill also wash in the centre.
Then in repairing the road the dirt
should not be dragged into the centre
of the road, but should be carried to
the sides and dumped into the bitches,
1 have lone this several times and find
it satisfactory. This 9will lower the
road, but viii leave it high and hard

THE DEARTH OF SHEEP.
Falling of In the Number Kept by
Farmers To-Day and Reason
Therefore.

In attending farmers Institutes in
different parts of the state, am sur
prised to fin, how many farmers there
are who formerly kept sheep that now
have none. | find that most OF these
men went out OF sheep during the de-
preston of the "nineties" and have
never since had the moral courage to
stock up. They almost universally ad-
NIT that they need sheep on their
farms and regret that they are now so
high they don't dare buy.
The topic of sheep" is on almost
every programme and always calls out
animated discussions. Many men have
come to me with the statement that
they have made more money and have
done II with less labor, with sheep,
than with any other stock. Farmers
seem to forget that when the products
OF the sheep were low other farm prod
ucts were equally low. 1t is not so
long ago that wheat was selling at 80
cents per bushel that we should forget
1t, and yet people did not quit growing
that staple
As long as people wear clothes and
eat meat, says the Ohio Farmer, the
products Of the sheep will be in de-
mand, and can be produced NJ profit.
and at good profit. too, on the aver
age farm, by the man who has any
taste for this branch OF stock raising,
rs well as the necessary knowledge
and skin for handling. 1t is surprising
how many farmers rushed out of the
sheep business as soon as the industry
became depressed. An old man who
attended an institute said to me: 81

and 20, when ] was buying stock.
