In the maintenance of an earth
road, avoid the mistake of chang
ing the natural order of thing .
Naturally the soil is found on ton
and the clay on the bottom. Il
this order is reversed in con-
structing rosd, the result will
be less satisfactory than if the
soil be left at the top of the road,
Tor soil makes q better surface TO
road than clay. If the road bed
IS largely clay to start with, il
will be well to place sandy soil
or clean sand on top. A covering
of 6 to 10 inches of sand upon
clay that persists in breaking up
into deep mudholes will usually
be satisfactory, and if sand
enough be added, this clay will
cease 20 make mud. If the roaa
bed is composed of sand it can
be improved by an application o
clay.
The rule for serviceable
earth road, then, is as follows
make ditches on each and keen
them open; haul sand and gravel
upon sections needing this treat
meat; ; use a.road machine auJ
split los judiciously "a full de-
scription Of which will be con-
tanned in later article); follow
the "sti'ch in time" rule and
give an earth road the same
careful persistent attention you
would give your prize acre. fac

large profit in proportion to

THE MAINTENANCE OF EARTH ROADS
We may recognize The value
of hard durable roads in all parts
OF the couutry, but still the fact
remains that for long time to
come the majority of the roads
will be composed of earth. Fur
thermore, in about nine mouths
out of the year, the earth road,
If properly cared for, is reason
ably satisfactory. For many ag.
ricultural districts, it is the only
road atpresent available. Hence,
these communities should set
themselves seriously TO work to
learn the best methods of main
tanning earth roads and of get
ting the maximum service from
them. Prosperity comes tc the
country to great extent through
the prosperity of the farmers.
This fact strongly suggests the
importance of giving the earth
road every possible care ard at
tentlon in its location, drainage,
construction and maintenance
An earth road composed of
water holding soil should be ex-
posed to the sun and air as free
ly as possible, az comparison be-
tween the shaded and sunny
portions of such road will easi-
ly indicate. This should be ac-
complished by clearing a suffi.
cient amount OF trees aud under
growth away from the road. 1t
must be remembered, however,
that sandy and gravelly roads
require moisture, and in these
cases some shade should be re
tanned. Furthermore, trees are
beneficial along river banks aud
on steep grades subject TO wash
ing,
Drainage is one of the most
important points to consider in
connection with an earth road
The majority Of earth roads in
all mountainous and hilly dis
tricts have too much drainage.
Occasionally road will be found
with five bitches, three in the
middle made by the horses hoofs
and by wheels of the vehicles,
and two on the sides. All well.
constructed earth roads are sup
posed 10 have no more than two
bitches, one on each side of the
travelled roadway. Keep the
water out Of the middle of the
road by giving il crown or ele.

crossed over the melon hill somewhat
like the center wicket in a croquet

sewed to the corners of the muslin
squares and the wires then thrust firm

canopies and prevent the wind blowing
them away. These protectors cost
