GUS and hilly districts have too much
drainage. Occasionally a road will
be found with five bitches, three in
the middle, made by the horses hoofs
and by wheels of tn evehicles, and
two. by the sides. All well-construct-
ed earth roads are supposed to 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 it crown or ele-
walton in the center of 10 inches
above the top of the inner slope of
the inner slope Of the ditch for a 20
foot road, and where the hills are a
little steep make the crown 10 inches.
| With crown of about l inch to the
| foot from the center to the sides,
the bitches which are often built
across the road on steep grades to de-
!! fleet the water will not be needed.
! Instead of carrying water across the
1 road In open bitches, tile or concrete
drains should, if possible, be provid-
ed. They should have sufficient capa-
city and fall to carry the maximum
amount of water that is expected to
/ flow through them at any one time.
] Tbs, capacity is increased in proper
| ton to the fall or grade; for instance,
Pinch pipe laid ON a one per cent
grade will carry 1900 gallons per
minute, while the same pipe laid on a
per cent grade will carry $500 gall
i Ions per minute. Furthermore, a
culVert. laid fiat will soon fill up,
! while one having good incline will
keep itself clear.
| In the maintenance of an earth
A road, avoid the mistake of changing
the natural order of things. Natur-
ally the soil is found on top and the
clay at the bottom. If this order is
reversed in constructing road, the
result will be less satisfactory than if
the siol be left at the top of the
road, for soil makes a better surface
to road than clay. If the roadbed
is largely clay to start with, it 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 into deep mudholes will
usually be satisfactory, and if sand
enough he added, this clay will cease
to make mud. If the roadbed is COM
posed of sand it can be improved by
an application of clay.
I The rule for a serviceable earth
road, then, is as follows: Make ditch
es on each side and keep them open;
haul sand and gravel upon sections
needing this treatment; usea road ma
chine and split log drag judicious-
ly a full description of which will be
contained in a later article); follow
the s.stitch n time rule, and give an
earth road the same careful, persist.
ent attention you would give your
prize acre, factory or store, and it will
Ipay as large profit in proportion to
your individual outlay.

PUBLIC ROADS
HOW TO BUILD

The U. S. Office of public roads will
supply this paper with practical ar
ticles on various features of road
building and maintenance, which will
bepublished from time to time. Our
subscribers are urged to give this
matter careful consideration, and are
requested to forward to this Office for
transmission to the Office of public
roads any practical question which
they desire answered relating to road
construction and maintenance. Ques-
tons and answers will be published
by this paper at suitable intervals.
The Maintenance of Earth Roads
ono. 1, Series Al
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 ma
jority Of the roads will be composed
of earth. Furthermore, in about nine
months out of the year, the earth road,
II properly cared for, is reasonably
satisfactory. For many agricultural
districts, it, is the only road at pres
ent available. Hence, these commune
ties should set themselves seriously
to work to learn the best methods of
maintaining earth roads and of get.
ting 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 Importance of giving
the earth road evedy possible care
and attention in Its location, drain
age, construction and maintenance.
An earth road composed of water
holding soil should be exposed to the
sun and air as freely as possible, as
comparison between the shaded and
sunny portions of such a road will
easily indicate. This should be &C
complished by clearing a sufficient
amount of trees, and underground
away from the road. 1t must be re-
membered, however. that sandy and
gravelly roads require moisture. and
In these cases some shade should be

OF winter killing. The present winter
is a very mild one. No blanket Of
snow; equal to the winter many miles
south of us, where they would not
claim it was the cold winter that
killed their trees.
There will be a very large percent
OF the trees planted during the last
two or three years dead next spring
from root killing. This is what the
nurserymen call a hard winter and
they, as well as the inexperienced
fruit grower loose heavily. b
What is the cause of their dying?
Most people call it winter killing.
| call it drouth killing; lack of mois-
ture in the soil occupied b ythe roots
OF the tree which causes them to be
exposed to frequent sudden freezing
and thawing.
The roots of tree are as tender
as a potato. If thawed very quickly
after q hard freeze it destroys the life
of the root, the bark becomes black
and slips from the poor wood. K
Although we had considerable mois.
ture early last fall, our open winter.
without a blanket of snow, has ex-
posed the soil about the roots of the
trees to alternate freezing and thaw-
ing until the moisture has nearly
dried out. The ground along the row
OF trees is usually higher, making a
watershed, owing to the ease in de.
stroying weeds between the trees by
blowing them under.
To insure against this drouth win
ter killing, the ground about the roots
of the trees should be thoroughly
soaked and a covering of straw or
manure applied just before it freezes
up in the fall, thus preventing the
sudden freezing and thawing. It does
not hurt roots to freeze in moist
earth, as the frost draws out very
slowly in the spring.
The roots of our native fruit trees.
shrubs, etc., withstand the drouth and
alternate freezing and thawing, but
it is waste of time, money and pa
tience to plant trees budded or graft.

the necessity of hardy root stock.

king and his favorite one day had a
discussion as to the relative merits of
men and women cooks. The king con-
tended that only man could cook a
dish fit for king to eat. and Du Barry
upheld the skill of her sex. The result
was a dinner given by Du Barry, ev-
cry dish Of which had been prepared
by woman. At the conclusion of the
meal the king acknowledged he was
wrong. He sent for the cook and

WOLVES FEAR IRON.
A Piece Of the Metal Will Keep the
Animals From Any Carcass.

A Piece Of the Metal Will Keep the
Animals From Any Carcass.
In the early days wolves were com
paratively unsuspicious. and it was
easy to trap or poison them Then
new knowledge, better comprehen-
sion of the modern dangers. seemed to
spread among the wolves. They learn
ed how to detect and defy the traps
and poison, and in some way the
knowledge was passed from one to an
other till all wolves were fully pos
sessed of the information. How this
is done is not easy to say. 1t is easier
to prove that it is done. Few wolves
ever get into a trap. fewer still get into
q trap and out again. and thus they
learn that a steel trap is thing to be
feared. And yet all wolves have the
knowledge, as every trapper knows,
and since they could not get it at first
hand they must have got it second
hand-that is, the information was
communicated to them by others Of
their kind.
1t is well known among hunters that
piece of iron is enough to protect any
carcass from the wolves. If deer
or antelope has been shot and is to be
left out overnight, all that is needed
Tor Its protection is an old horseshoe,
spur or even any part Of the hunt
er's dress. No wolf will go near such
suspicious looking or human tainted
things. They will starve rather than
approach the carcass so guarded
With poison a similar change has
come about Strychnine was consid-
cred infallible when first it was intro
duced. It did vast destruction for a
time; then the wolves seemed to dis
cover the danger of that particular
smell and would no longer take the
poisoned bait, as know from number
less experiences.
It is thoroughly we'll known among
the cattlemen now that the only chance
Of poisoning wolves is in the late sum-
mer and early autumn, when the young
are beginning to run with the mother.
She cannot watch over all Of them the
whole time, and there is chance Of
some of them finding the bait and TAX
ing it before they have been taught to
let that sort of smell thing alone.
The result is that wolves are on the
increase. They have been, indeed,
since the late eighties. They have re-
turned to many of their old hunting
grounds in the cattle countries, and
each year they seem to be more nu-
merous and more widely spread, thanks
to their mastery of the new problems
forced upon them by civilization

WIFE BEATER HELD
IN POLICE COURT

Two wife heaters will face Judge An
drade this morning, one of whom,
George Rosa, who lives in Chrfstley
lane, off Fort street, may have an
uglfer charge to answer to. This brute
last night, when drunk. struck his wife
repeatedly in the face, backing both
her eyes. He then struck her on the
back of the head, telling her, kicking
her PROSTATE body into insensibility.
All the time he was using his drunken
strength in this way, the victim of his
brutality was holding her one-year-old
baby to her breast and attempting TO
shield the child from injury.
Sam Nohoanu is the other wife beat
err He was asserting his rights as a
husband and a lord of creation about
noon on Petersons lane in Palama, the
cries of the wife reaching the ears of
Policeman Hose Peter, who lives near.
Peter appeared on the scene and the
bold wife beaten took to his heels. The
policeman had a merry chase, not rum
ming his man down until the corner of
School street and Asylum road was
reached.
