the maintenance Of an earth road,
avoid the mistake of changing
the natural order of things.
Naturally the soil is found on top
and the clay on the bottom. If
this order is reversed in construct
ing a road the result will be less
satisfactory than if the soil be left
at the top of the road. for soil
makes a better surfee to road
than clay. If the road bed is
largely clay to start with, it will
ue we'll to place sandy soil or
clean sands on top. A covering OF
6 to 10 inches of sand upon clay
that persist in breaking up into
deep mudho'es will usually be
satisfactory and if sand en- ,ugh
be added. this clay will cease to
make mud. II the road bed is
composed of sand it can be i'm.
proved BY an application of clay.
The rule for a serviceable earth
road then, is as follows: Make
bitches on each side and keep
them open; haul sand and gravel
upon sections needing this treat.

said he all the adjoining states
east of us have good fairs and it
IS a shame that Kansas is so far
behind her sister states. Our
legislators are asked to vote for
many appropriations not as wor.

Longfellow, we have partaken OF
the famous clans. and HOLSTERS of
the Maine coast; we have inspected
one of the many great shoe factor
les of new England; we have climb
ed hills and towers to enjoy mag
nihcent views, and today we shall
sail through the more than three
hundred islands of Casco Bay; and
on each island is a summer home
or summer homes of thousands Of
people. 1t is not so grand possibly
as the Thousands Islands of the
ST. Lawrence river, but its beauty
is surely its equal.
We are feeling much better than
when we left home, and Marshall
is ENJOYING every hour; at night
being almost too tired to write to
his girl, yet not quite.
We will leave for Mt. Washing
ton and the White Mountains of
New Hampshire Thursday, and
will always remember the rock rib
bed coast of Maine and its hearty,
hustling good people with feelings
of regret that our stay with them
could be no longer. Yours,
THEo. TOWNSEND.
