\ GRAVEL ROAD.

[From Good Roads Magazine. New York. !
expects to haul Il good deal of water
and use Il roller BY far the most eco
nomica way to build Il gravel road is
dinary surface of a road that has been
previously cleared of all dead and
worn out material that would never
pack again and then plOw the road
and put the gravel on about three or
four inches deep and just allow the
traffic to work it in and have Il man
continuously along the road for two
or three weeks with rake to fill in
the ruts and pick out any of the too
large gravel stones, as the top surface
should contain no stones larger than a
hickory nut
this road which would be still more
economical would be to spread the
gravel on in November or December
Spread it over the road about two or
three inches deep and repeat during
the winter as the traffic works 1t into
the mud. | am assuming now that
we have a road that would get muddy
in the winter time and one that would
have clay or loan bottom or Il large
percentage of loan. II we are to deal
with a sandy road it will be necessary
to put a considerable percentage Of
clay or loan with the sand prior to
the spreading of the gravel ! have
built quite number of pieces Of road
in this manner. by putting the gravel
on during the winter. and they have
been very satisfactory.
''One of the greatest difficulties with
n great many people in mending roads.
in my Judgment. is that they endeavOr
to patch up the road instead Of plow
ing it up and letting the whole mass
| settle ut once. Some people have an
idea that traffic will make road level
Traffic will mash down some Jumps
and some of the coarse gravel. but II
the material Is not evenly spread or
the road not properly graded when II
is constructed it will grow wOrse-that
is. more uneven-as time goes on. 1t is
time well spent in the grading OF a
new road to go over it innumerable
times with road machine in order
that the grade may be made perfect In
| the beginning. and ! know of great
many roads In Nassau and Suffolk
counties. New York. now which. II they
could be rlowed up and have little
sand put in some places and a little
loasa in Others. then be thoroughly
! graded with a road machine and have
little gravel added during the winter
would be good all the year round fol
WAGONS or automobiles. and if they
were oiled they could he rendered just
! as dust proof as a macadam road"

Procrastination.

One great criticism of our road i'm
provement policy here in Pennsylva-
mia Is that it is too long In accomplish
ing its object. says the National Stock
man and Farmer. We know of one
road on which improvements were be-
gun last year. The grading was COM
pleted far ahead Of the paving. which.
Of course. left the unpaved portion a
big mdhole when winter came. This
year the grading on this three mile
stretch has been completed, but nc
more paving is being done. Another
winter will find the public struggling
In the mud on this new grading, while
the road will have to be reshaped when
the paving is finally reached. There
should be some plan of Improvement
whereby road need not be torn IN
three years in the making. The public
Is ready to suffer inconveniences for
the sake of better roads. but It should
not have to suffer them for so long a
time.

can be nicely handled with an ordinary

the Mending of Highways.
Representative William W. Cocks OF
Long Island. who has built several
gravel roads and has found them very
satisfactory. tells how they can be con-
structed economically.
ITO the minds of most people," he
says. when we speak of gravel
road comes the idea Of coarse sand,
such as they have seen dumped on the
road from time to time and frequently
in such quantities that it did not mix
properly with the loan. and hence
there was soft, sandy road. which Is
the worst road in the world for haul
ing heavy loads over. What mean
by Il gravel road is screened gravel or
gravel that may be found in some
banks that would be suitable for road
construction without screening. but It
should not contain over 10 per cent of
sand in most instances unless one
were to use very thin coat and over
a road that was of very deep loam.

a little larger percentage of sand. but

sand as possible.

panied by our most distinguished con

vain and worthless until they are cash,

Bismarck Tribune: As an evidence
that the city Of Fargo Is alive to the
Importance of boosting the state in
dustrial exposition. and not unmindful
Of the great benefit to the state the
success of the big project is sure to
bring, the people OF that city have Sc
lected Thursday, Oct. IL, as Fargo day
or course Fargo day means Cass
county day at the big exposition and
1t is expected that several hundred
Cass county people will avail them
selves of the opportunity to see the
exhibits OF their state. The Red river
valley display VIII take its place along
with the others this week and when
the visitors arrive here from Fargo
they will be astonished to see what
the other counties Of the state have
done in the way Of exhibits. The bene-
fits to come from the exposition can
not be estimated. Visitors have been
here from many states and they will
take away with them the conviction
that North Dakota is the best agri-
cultural state in the union, and offers
greater opportunities to settlers than
any other section of the great north
west.
1t is not newspaper nor advertising
stories the visitor is confronted with
but the actual goods.
The products displayed at the ex-
position are the fruits Of North Da-
kota soil and labor, and they are pro-
duced with less labor and on land
which sells cheaper per acre than any
other state. The sight of this evil
dence Is had at the exposition and 1t
cannot be questioned.
The people Of Fargo and the Red
river valley will feel a greater PRIDE
in their state when they view the ex-
hibits and they will return home hap
pier and richer for their visit They
will have a more comprehensive I'M
Of what the state Is do
ing in the line OF progress and they
will become broader in their Views.
The exposition management will
open the gates to Fargo on Thursday,
Oct. ~ and give her citizens the best
that they have to offer.
