 THE MAINTENANCE OF EARTH
 ROADS.
 We may recognize the value of hard and durable roads in all parts of the country, 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 months out of the year, the earth road, if properly cared for, is reasonably satisfactory. For many agricul- tural districts, it is the only road at present available. Hence these communities should set them selves seriously to work to learn the best methods of maintaining earth roads and of getting the maximum service from them. Prosperity comes to the country to a great extent through the prosperity of the farmers. This fact strongly suggests the i'm portance of giving the earth road every possible care and attention In it's location, drainage, con struction and maintenance.
 An earth road composed of water holding soil should be ex- posed to the sun and air as freely as possible, as comparison be- tween the shaded and sammy DOT tions of such a road will easily in dicate. This should be accom- plished by clearing a sufficient amount of undergrowth and trees away from the road. It must be remembered, however, that sandy and gravelly roads require mois cure, and in these cases some shade should be retained. Fur thermore, trees are beneficial along river banks and on steep grades subject to washing.
 Drainage isone of tle most i'm portant points to consider in con nection with an earth road. The majority of earth roads in all mountainous and hilly districts have too much drainage. Occas ionally road will be found with five ditches three in the middle made by the horses hoofs and by the wheels of the vehicles, and two on the sides. All well con structed earth roads are suppos- to have no more than two ditches. one on each side of the travelled roadway. Keep the water out of the middle of the road by giving 1t a crown or elevation in the cen ter of : 1-2 inches above thein inner slope of the ditch for 2O-foot road and where the hills are a little steep make the crown 10 inches. With a crown about one inch to the foot from the center to the sides, the ditches which are often built across the road on steep grades to defect the w1.ter will not be needed. Instead of carrying water across the road in open ditches, tile and concrete drains, should, if possible, be provided. They should have sui
 icient capacity and fall to carry

the decision Of this tremendous

permitted her inborn desire for

from the path p IaiHl y marked out
