PLANTATION. The figure is based on an

PLANTATION. The figure is based on an
estimate that our family will average
one trip per day to town and that
there Is an average of ten other teams
per day passing. For good measure l
cut In half the benefit to neighbors.
Hon. Matt Hail. now warden of the
Missouri penitentiary, was a wood
dragger before he left the farm. In a
published statement he tells of begin
ning his work in deep mud. In two
months he had a half mile of road Of
which he said: Il can hardly believe
my own eyes when l look at it. A
loaded wagon won't make any more
impression on it than 1t would on a
floor. l don't believe l have spent a
half day on it altogether. and. hon.
estly, l wouldn't near take $50 for the
comfort it has been to me and my
friends and neighbors." You will note
that Mr.. Halls estimate of benefit is
about double mine.
A comparison was recently made
which showed by figures taken from
many counties and from Maine to
Minnesota that a dollar spent under
the new system would produce as
much benefit as several hundred dol
lars spent the old way. 1t Is hard to
accept such conclusions, yet the fig
ures bear investigation and analysis.

SIX FOOT FILL WAS NAQE
actual test can pass abreast. This
wall extends for 400 feet and ut one
part describes beautiful curve. Un-
less it is desired to make a fill an ex-
cavation Of several feet Is first made,
and Mr.. Glessner's men and oxen then
begin to dump in immense stones tax
en- out Of the nearest fields. A fairly
level course is made Of these, and then
another layer Of somewhat smaller
stone is dumped on.
Then comes still smaller layer, and
then, last the stonework is leveled up
and all openings are filled in with very
small stone, SO carefully and thorough
ly placed that animals can be driven
over without hurting their feet. Then
the rock Is entirely covered and the
road finally shaped up with a good
layer of "hardpan," which packs solid
and is practically impervious to water
Drainage at each side Is always pro-
vided for, the roads are we'll rounded.
and these features, combined with the
solid foundation Of rock underneath
and the impervious layer on top, give
an ideal road.

LIKE A ROMAN ROAD.
How Chicago Millionaire Uses Rocks
on His New Hampshire Farm.

UT tNSW hampshire VdTns
]. Glessner, the Chicago millionaire,
who has made his summer home III
Bethlehem, N. H., for the last twenty
four years, IS rapidly attaining fame
as a road builder says a Bethlehem
correspondent Of the Chicago Record
Herald. He is now able to show three
miles Of probably the finest road in the
White mountains, all within or adjoin-
ing his own estate and all public road,
although 1t was all built or built over
by MIR. Glessner at his own expense.
During the late autumn he had con-
main highway from Bethlehem to Lit
TETON and during most of that time
had crew Of seventy men. thirty
horses and twenty oxen engaged on
the work. Part Of this road looks like
pictures Of the modern French or the
old Roman roads, and it is built fully
as solidly as the Roman roads used to
be-ln fact, after the same plan.
The most important work done ON
the LittletOn Bethlehem road by Mr..
Glessner this year has been an ex-
tensive fill Of quite a stretch of road
over some lowland where bad travel
ing had generally been the rule. At
the lowest place the road was filled in
six feet with stone, and the stone
wall on each side was carried three
feet higher, the wall in places being
ten feet higher on the back side, or
side toward the fields. The wall is
three feet wide on top and is strong
ly built.
The road is twenty-five feet wide be-
tween the walls, and four teams by

International Road Convention.

1t is announced that the minister of
public works Of France has been au-
thOrized to call an international con-
vention in his country in 1908 for the
purpose Of considering methods to pre-
vent roads from being damaged by ex-
cessive automobile traffic. The use Of
the automobile, 1t is claimed, has pro-
duced many new problems In connec-
ton with the splendid roads for which
France has become famous, and plan
for their construction and maintenance
IS deemed necessary. The delegates
will therefore in particular discuss
methods Of adapting present roads to
the new conditions Of traffic.
