DRAINING OF ROADS.

Rather Better Drain Should Be Too
Large Than Too Small.
In adjusting the sizes OF drains to
roads one important consideration
should always be borne in mind, and
that is that the velocity OF the water
should not be so great as to wear away
the sides and bottom of the drain. Sew
ers are made as small as possible to
secure the greatest velocity and scour-
ing power with a given quantity OF
water. The opposite principle must
be borne in mind in designing drains
for roads. The drain should rather be
made too large than too small, and too
wide and shallow than too narrow and
deep, in order to reduce the velocity OF
the stream, SO that it shall not destroy
the drain. Deep drains by the side OF
the roads are very dangerous, says Az
ricultural Bulletin.
The level Of the water in the drains
should be kept well below the material
forming the road. Macadam cons1d-
cred 8 or 4 inches sufficient, but others
recommend as much as a foot at least,
and more even, if it can be easily OBJ
tanned.
Where the road has comparatively
steep longitudinal gradient, and the
water must flow with considerable
force, it may be necessary to go to the
expense even of covered drain con-
structed with slabs of stone or stone
ware pipes or masonry.
1t is manifest that in some places
drains would not be required on both
sides of the road One may suffice, but
in these cases the water falling on one
half of the road would require to be
conveyed to the ditch on the other side
by drains laid under the roadway.

Width of Roads.

Macadam thought that "roads near
great towns ought not to be less than
80 or 40 feet wide, but at distance
from great towns it would be waste
of land to make them so wide"
No hard and fast rule can be made
unless it is that every road which is
intended for carriage traffic should be
sufficiently wide to admit of two car
riages passing each other easily, other
wise the greatest inconvenience must
be caused. The surveyor in designing
new roads must be guided by his
knowledge of the traffic of the district
and must regulate their widths accord
ingly. For country roads the widths
should be somewhat more than twice
the width OF the vehicles and carts used
in the particular country or locality, so
as to allow the wheels to pass each
other easily, and for ordinary main
roads twice this width would answer
every reasonable purpose. If road is
made less than the width Of two carts,
it should widen out for short length,
at regular distances apart, to a little
more than the width of two carts, so
as to admit of carts passing each other
at these refugees; bat this is at best an
imperfect arrangement, as the drivers
do not see each other till they sudden
ly meet, when one must go back to the
nearest refuge to let the other pass,
says r. Stone in the Agricultural Bulle-
tin.
1t should be borne in mind that the
cost of maintaining a well-formed road
is not in proportion to it's width, but
more in proportion to the traffic pass
ing over it, so that in laying down a
new road it is better to make it too
wide than too narrow. Greater width
affords greater convenience to traffic,
and the road is not so often under re-
pair. A narrower road, for the same
amount of traffic, is oftener under re-
pair and wears out both horses and
carts much sooner. This is particular
1y the case where the road is formed
With inferior material.

thicker strip of wood, like piece of
scantling. These metal dams are made
of different sizes, according to the ditch
in which they are to be used, their di-
ameter being a little more than the
width of the ditch, as the edges must
be pushed down little way into the
earth of the ditch banks and bottom
They are placed in the ditch at or near
the point where it is desired to turn
out the water. Tl4ese metals are also
used in the openings in the banks of
bitches, either to close them when the
checks are full, or to partly close them
and still permit part of the stream to
enter the check to balance the soaking
away. They are made with sliding
gates, as shown in the illustration, to
be used when part of the stream is to be
allowed to pass through for any pur-
pose.-California Agricultural College.

M laurels The high finance funny
men are crowding into the field.
First came Rockefeller and Har
ysEsnan, and now Henry H Rogers Is
.sasXuding an oily humor and is causing
explosions of mirth that sound like the
bursting OF tanks. Rogers jokes are
of the Standard variety. They arc
nearly as bad as that pun. They be-

are Of the sort that our great-grand-
Fathers used to enjoy and are as play

does to ordinary folks his mirth knows

AS all the world knows, the Rogers
Jokes were sprung at the investigation
made by the state Of Missouri into the
subsidiary concerns of the Standard
'Sgn company. Governor Folk and At
-EGorney General Hadley of that state
got an idea that the Waters Pierce Oil
company, the Republic Oil company
and the Standard Oil company of In
diana were all owned by the Standard
ION company Of New Jersey, although
they were posing as Independent con-
Germs. This would constitute a con-
spiracy in restraint Of trade, which is

 Contrary to general expectation, the New Haven polo team which is playing its first season in the regular tourna- ments, defeated Rockaways first team in the final match for the Blizzard cup at Cedarhurst Wednesday. Each team scored four goals while the visitors lost quarter point on a safety, but the match was played under the existing handicap, which allowed New Haven six goals, This left the final result 3-4 to {.
 Although each club tallied the sams number of points, New Haven had the game in hand all the way, forcing the
 ball for fully three-quarters of the act ual playing time into Rockaway's ter
 ritory The young Connecticut players l resorted to a long driving game, at which they were adept, and if they had
 only been capable of developing nurs- l ing and dribbling tactics along with
 this there is no telling how many goals | they might have scored against the
 Cedarhurst quartette. The number of goals that they missed on long drives by the smallest possible distance was l remarkab ble.
 Everyone was surprised by the stub 1 born defense New Haven put up at the opening of the game, for they not only
 held their own with the veteran play
