HOW TO MAKE GOOD ROADS.
Suggestions BY State Engineer Cooley
Of Minnesota.

OF Minnesota.
State Engineer George W. Cooley Of
Minnesota. who recently discussed
macadam roads with the members of
the road ard bridge committee of the
county board, also discussed the speci-
fications for Ramsey county road work
and gave the members Of the commit
tee many valuable suggestions Mr.
Cooley spoke OF the growing popularity
OF macadam roads in the eastern
states, where the best roads that mon
ey can procure are demanded. His
opinion was that a good earth road
is the best that can be had, but they
are hard to keep in repair, whereas
macadam roads may be built to last
Scientific methods should be adopted,
and specifica tions must be carried out
to the letter
In building a macadam road the
foundation is the main thing. The
voids in the crushed limestone founda-
ton should be tightly filled with gravel
instead of clay, which is sometimes
used. A very little clay may be used,
but for filling purposes gravel is much
more satisfactory. There should be
no shoulder Oh the side of the road.
but the macadam should be gradually
feathered off to the edge and made
water tight. The material used for q
filler should be applied before the road
is rolled On top Of a foundation Of
four inches of crushed limestone an
inch and a half of pit gravel. Wash
the gravel in with street sprinkler
and then roll The next layer should
consist Of three inches Of smaller hard
stone treated in the Same way and
then layer of pit gravel feathered az
to the edge.
Mr., Cooley said all the mategaals
should be specified and nothing Mt %
the choice Of the contractor. BvUa the
gravel pit should be designaAod. The
contract should be so wordsd that IN
the event that the gravel pat dssignak-
ed rallied TO pan out wall an TIE way
through the contractor can b rsqui1ed
to go elsewhere for tAis supply upon
making an equitable aA5uotmant with
him. Such an arrange0ent would bs
far more economical than to permit the
contractor 10 go on with unsatisfactory
materials. In this way the board could
control ne sources Of supply and moth
ing would be left to the whim Of the
contractor.
/ Mr. Cooley also went into the ques-
lion OK u,aintcna Tlre Of roads. which be
. considered Quite as impertaut 40 con.

The rise Of the road drag to fame

the inception of. the King drag system

ARBOR DAY PROCLAMATION

AS one travels over our state and
pushing people, he is deeply impress
ed by what he sees in the way of
material growth and developments: and
while he is often delighted with the
neat farm house and its pleasant
surroundings, he is to often depressed
by the total neglect TO plant and cul-
tivate trees, which leaves the home
exposed to the burning sun of midsum-
mer and the cutting blasts OF mid
winter, and gives to the farm naked,
cheerless appearances that is un
attractive 10 the visitor and stranger
and to the children growing up there
There is no good excuse for this
neglect. Since the advent Of the
artesian we'll, water is plentiful, trees
can be grown without difficulty We
must have more OF them. The elm,
ash. soft maple are more beautifui
and longer lived than the box elder
and cottonwood, and should be planted
in abundance around every farm house
in the state
In the eastern and southern pert OF
the state the monotony of the prairie
is immensely relieved by numerous
groves of teees in every neighborhood,
but they are far too scarce in the CEN
tai and northern part OF the state
No other improvement SO materially
adds to the beauty and substantial.

abundance and take care of thens
