GRADE THOROUGHLY DRAINED

Stone Four or Five Inches Thick.
Road Roller Useful implement.
The laws Of the state of Ohio give
township trustees the power to levy
a tax Of six mills per dollar on all tax
able property, which money must be
used exclusively for stone roads, writes
]. L. Peters, a township trustee, in the
Good Roads Magazine. We have been
carrying this levy for several years
to raise funds for stone roads, but as
the valuation Of our township is rather
small and the law further provides
that trustees may accept by donation
either money or labor we recently gave
our people an opportunity to donate
that ia, we would give them two or
three weeks, on some of our main
roads, to raise money by donation, with
the privilege Of working out the
amount subscribed or to pay in cash by
hand or by team wOrk-hand labor at
the rate Of S1.50 per day and team
work at So per day. The rule has been
that the community raising the largest
donation should receive its road first.
Last spring there was a contest, one
raising a donation of 81 $50 and the
other S11,O55. Some farmers on the
direct line of the road subscribed as
much as $500 each.
Road building with us Is Just in its
infancy. Up to the present time we
have built only three miles, but our
people all want more. Although we
have had clay soil to contend with, our
roads give pretty good satisfaction.
In the construction Of our roads we
first prepare our grade or earth bed by
thoroughly draining 1t. This we recog-

were constructed under favorable cir.
cumstances, as we had to haul the
stone but one and one-half miles, and
teams made seven and eight trips
apiece per day. 1t required about $500
tons Of stone to the mile. We have
been using limestone and last year we
had to pay 81 cents per ton freight on
board cars at Oak Harbor. This year
we were compelled to pay 80 cents
per ton. The average cost Of a road
ten feet wide and ten inches thick
would, estimate, be about So, 200 per
mile.
This year we built one Of our main
roads sixteen feet wide, ten inches
thick in the center and five inches on
the sides. This cost US $1,000 per mile
the cost, Of course, depending upon the
cost of material and the distance at
which It has 10 be hauled. In this es-
innate labor, fuel for road roller and
other expenses-the donated labor be-
ing counted the same as hired labor
are figured complete.
We own our own steam road roller,
and we find this one Of the most neces-
sary implements for road building and
for repairing the old roads. The work
Of construction Is placed in charge of
the township trustee. We do not en-
ploy an engineer OF contractor. Bids
are asked at the proper time for the
crushed stone and then the contract
for this is awarded TO the lowest bid

WEED CROPS.

Many Different Kinds That terminate
In Succession.
Every successful farmer finds that
he must assert his mastery In no I'M
certain way over the weeds, these
rebels Of the vegetable world, or they
will work havoc in his little domain
and eventually his undoing.
The battle with them must be fought
increasingly, for they are constantly on
the watch to take advantage Of every
opportunity, remarks a writer in Amer
ican Cultivator wen fight it out
right here If It takes all summerp'
may well be the threat of the farmer
to the weed crop.
A Great Variety.
The great difficulty is that q great
many give up the fight with the weeds
altogether too soon. Thea fret attacks
are fierce and spirited enough, but
they soon grow Indifferent and aban-
don them altogether. Now, the fact
is that weeds are of a great many diff
ferent varieties, which seem to be de-
signed TO germinate at different sea
sons, one species following on the
heels of another, occupying the ground
as soon as their predecessors have
rlpened their seeds. The result is that
wedding vigorous at first. but soon
abandoned, leaves the way open and
unobstructed for the later varieties to
flourish unhampered, and so they are
never conquered or reduced, but their
reign is more firmly established from
year to year.
On UncultiVated Fields.
Then. again, many who WELD the hoe
vigorously are altogether too careless
in their dealing with the weeds outside
OF the cultivated fields, allowing them
to flourish unrestrained about the ma
nure heap all summer and scatter their
seeds broadcast upon 1t, to be advan-
tageously planted when it is drawn
out and strewn upon the fields in the
spring.
