BUILDING SANp-CLAY ROADS.
Success That Has Been Attained by
the Government in the South.

In sandy districts q s~erviceable high
way is difficult to maintain. The ex-
pense of constructing macadam roads
is such that but few localities at a
distance from cities a afford them.
The recent work of the department OF
agriculture in the south has demon
strated that the sand-clay road is no
longer an experiment. The first step
is to make a road bed as wide as de-
sired and at least 20 inches above
standing water in the bitches. 1t
should be we'll graded and packed if
possible.
Where the sand is almost pure the
clay should be spread in an even layer
over the surface four to six inches
deep. The mixing is done by the traf-
fc over the prepared road. In most
cases, however, it Will be necessary
to mix the sides and the center of the
road by blowing a few times and har-
rowing down. After the sand and clay
have become thoroughly mixed on the
surface it should be again smoothed
and graded to the bitches. If road in
clines to break in dry weather more
clay should be added.
Roads through clay districts may be
constructed in the same manner by
the addition of sand, says Farm and
Home. In this case, however, the
sand must be added in a layer six to
eight inches deep. The coarser the
sand the better. In clay countries
there is not much danger in getting
too much sand upon the road. Pro-
vision mast be made, however, for
good drainage, or during very wet
weather the entire road will sink away
in the mire. Thorough mixing is also
necessary or some parts of the road
will break and others will become
mud puddles. The sand-clay combina-
ton must be deep enough to extend
below the frost line OF freezing Will
make of it a soft, slushy mud.
To keep the road in good condition
it is only necessary to go e 1t and
repair the weak places at occasional
intervals, this operation not occupying
much time or requiring very much
labor.

GOOD ROADS,.
Progress Which the Movement Is Max
ing Throughout the Country.

Throughout the country, especially
in rural districts, the demand for in
formation as to the best methods of
road construction is steadily growing,
where people are willing to expend
money on mending their highways.
Owing to inexperience and lack or
organization, money is frequently
wasted. In some counties we'll able to
support a system of good roads, little
work is done owing to lack of knowl-
edge. 1t is in just such cases that the
work of the office of public roads is
proving of signal value. The depart
ment does not undertake the construc-
ton of roads, which a be and should
be the work of counties within the
states, but the educational value of
employing experts in the construction
of sections of improved roads in diff
ferent parts of the country has been
fully demonstrated, says the Journal
of Agriculture. Expert advice on road
construction has been given and ex-
detrimental field work carried on, and,
wherever possible, o~bject-lesson roads
are being constructed for the purpose
of illustrating the best methods OF
road building. The local authorities
furnish material, common labor, teams
and fuel, the Office of public roads sup
plying supervising engineers and, in
some cases, part or all of the machin-
cry. During the past year II roads
were built in II states, representing a
wide diversity in character OF con-
struction and kinds of material used.
Much has been done by the office in
developing the use of sand clay and
burnt clay for roads in areas of the
country where no stone is available.
Methods of rendering roads dustless
have been investigated. Tests were
also made with Texas oil and it's effect
or earth and macadam roads. After
more than sever months tarred roads
we're found in excellent condition.
Cooperation with the p~ostof1ce de-
partment has been begun, in order to
facilitate rural delivery by improve
ment of country roads. The plan, ap-
proved by the secretary of agricul-
ture and the postmaster general, pro-
vides that when a road upon which a
rural route has been or is about to be
established is reported by the carrier
or inspector to be impossible or in
bad repair, the Office Of public roads
shall be at once advised of the fact
through the postoffice, and an engineer
inspector will be detailed to examine
the road and give necessary advice to
the local officials.
During the year 1884 samples were
received at the road laboratory for rou-
tine tests, of which number 273 were
samples Of rock intended for macadam
road building. Studies of the decom-
position of various kinds of rock un-
der the action of water, undertaken to
determine reasons for the quality of
binding power in m-acadam-road mate
rails, has brought to light some inter-
esting facts.

TO FARM SUCCESSFULLY.
Observation and Forethought Are Alb.
solutely Necessary.

A nan to be a successful farmer
must be a close observer, must have
a practical education and understand
that to keep up the fertility OF his soil
he must study the nature OF 1t and
know what crops to plant on different
fields. The farmer should first plan
his work ahead. 1t is then necessary
for him to personally oversee 1t. l
know, writes a correspondent Of Farm
ers' Review, from three to five years
ahead what crop l am going to put in
certain fields. / believe in alternating
crops. For instance, / first put In
corn, then some small grain, then
clover, or pasture, and so on. l never

what / am going to do that day. wealth

planned days and sometimes weeks

Hence, as | say, we must feed the soil,
else it won't feed us. On keeping up
the fertility depends the success or
failure of agriculture. The successful
| farmer must be a thinker. The time
is past for haphazard farming. Some
farmers laugh at science in farming,
but how many thousands upon thou
sands of dollars are farmers throwing
away year after year, simply because
/ fhau do NIT Enouv Whnfhnr fhQV arc
or are not buying and feeding their
| soil with the properties it needs. My
observation is that the average farmer
| plows too much and sells too much
simply sells his farm by piecemeals.
Some will say that they have not the
land to rotate or keep stock. Better
have one acre that will make 80 bush
els of corn than four that make 20.
Why? Because it can be done with
one-quarter the work. 1t Is also ad-
visable to keep the better grade OF
stock rather than scrubs. Feed the
largest portion of your grain and hay
on your farm and return it in the way
of n to your land. Avoid throw
ing it out in the drip of the barn. Let
it lie till blowing time. Cover one
acre two years in succession and you
will undoubtedly make more on that
acre than you would OF four without
the anure.
Make it a point to attend every
meeting of your Grange. Put in part
of your time in cleaning up your fence
rows and make it a point to have a
nice, shady lawn, endeavoring to
make your home the most attractive
in your neighborhood. Your friends,
your families and yourselves will then
have solved the problem of how to
keep the boys on the farm.

Reeds UnruIy Tenant.

There used to live in Portland Joseph
Reed, an uncle of the late Speaker
Reed. He was a very large man, and
was never known to lose his temper.
He had an Office on Exchange street,
up one flight of stairs.
One day he sent one of his tenants,
who was behind in his rent, a five
days notice to move, which made his
tenant very mad. He called on Mr..
Reed boiling over with rage, using
some very profane language.
Mr.. Reed was sitting and writing at
a desk. He replied in his quiet, easy
voice: "Mr. Stevens, you are mad,
and you must not come up here when
you are mad"
Mr.. Stevens kept right on, only
worse, if anything, when Mr.. Reed
started to get up, saying in the same
easy tone Of voice: "Mr. Stevens, you
must go right down stairs, or I will
have to cuff you"
Mr.. Stevens went quietly down
stairs.
