pleasaDter Co drive upon and easier vantages of a good road are in some degree offset by the fact that an earth road at certain seasons is the better of the two.
 The writer has always advocated, that where it is practical, it would be we'll to leave smooth earth road alongside of the stone or gravel road, so that the drivers might choose be- tween the two. When the weather is fine and the earth road is smooth, the drivers will usually take that in pref. erence to the hard road. This saves wearing the hard road, and thus it serves a double purpose. Let heavy rain descend and everybody takes the hard road. The difference is the im- proved highway is good 365 days in the year, and the other road is good and bad by turns. Having them side by side, which can easily be done without additional expense, the people have the choice.
 There is another feature of the per- manent road that should not be lost sight of In the busy season while the crops are being planted, some times a heavy rain will fall, so that the fields are too wet to work. With good roads the farmer can make trip to town, do the necessary er- rands, haul off load of grain or hogs and keep his farm hands employed. If the roads are unimproved, he can neither work the farm nor travel the highways.
 Every road overseer, and i'll fact ev- cry farmer, should send to the state engineer of his state, and to the office of Public Roads at Washington, and have his name put upon the mailing list, so that the bulletins and circu- lars, of which scores are published ev cry year, upon road building and main-

size with a fall of two inches. The rapid flow through the culvert with a greater fall will keep the culvert clean. In one where the flow is slug gish, desposits will form and soon will choke the flow. Be sure to leave am pie outlet so the water can move freely after passing through the cul- vert.
 In grading to make fill do not al- roadway. These will decay and make all kinds of trouble It is much bet ter to keep them out in the first in stance.
 If, in making the fill, the material must be moved six hundred feet or this with scrapers-wheel type pre- ferred. But if the material must be moved more than that it will be cheaper to put 1t upon wagons. Any filling of this nature should be made early in the spring. preferably as soon 1t will have ample time to compact and settle by the summer rains and the traffic. By proper handling dur ing the summer season, fill sev- eral feet deep can be put in shape for the road. A fill of this kind should be dragged with split log drag or It's equivalent after rains in order to keep the fills smooth and rounded so the water will run of quickly. The

.FOR ROAD BUILDERS
SUGGESTIONS TO HELP THE IN EXPERIENCED IN HIGHWAY
 CONSTRUCTION.
FIRST STEP IS DRAINAGE
Get Water Off and Away From Road as Quickly as Possibie-Weeds and Sod Make Troube-Proper Use of Gravel.
By HOWARD H. GROSS.

It is not overstating the fact to say that three-fourths of the men charged with the responsibility of building and repairing the roads the country over, know very little about the sub ject; they have not had the engineer ing experience or even the practical experience necessary; they have sim ply followed their predecessors and they do what the fellow before them did.
 In the movement for better high ways the first step is a more intelli- gent expenditure of the time and money appropriated for the better ment of the roads. to the end that the community shall get the most and the best results for it's contribution. It is common practice to do either the wrong thing, or if perchance the right thing is done, to do it at the wrong time of the year, and the result is very often an expenditure of one dol lar to get thirty cents worth of bene- fit. AS an instance we might cite that Illinois is spending five million of dollars a year upon the highways, and those in position to know, assert that more than half of it is wasted by i'll timed and misdireeted effort. What is true of Illinois is true throughout the central west
 In order to make suggestions that will be of value one must assume some typical conditions and indicate what it is best to do to improve the roads under them.
 In road improvement the first and most important step is drainage. Without proper drainage every effort will fail. Water Is the only natural enemy of roads, and water is a COW ard and will run away if given chance, hence get the water off the road and away from the road as quickly as possible This may be done either by surface or sub-surface drainage, by side ditches with ample fall and proper outlet to carry the water away from the highway, or by tile. If the latter is done nothing less than four inch tile ought to be used and it should be very carefully laid. and should be put on each side of the road, particularly where the drainage is most needed. Be sure that the outlet is unobstructed if side ditches are used, especially on hill slope, and have them as wide as prac ticable at the bottom.
 Suppose the bed of the ditch is tWenty-four inches wide down a hill slope. Construct so that the bottom of the ditch next to the hill side will be an inch or so lower than the side next to the road, so the flow will tend to the hill side instead of to the road.
 Wherever it is necessary to carry water across a roadway, it is best to use iron or concrete pipe and carry it across at an angle. Strong tile will do if it is placed a sufficient dis tance below the surface so it will not be broken by the traffic. The outlet of this crossing should be considera- bly, farther down hill than the in- take.
 Where cuiverts are necessary have them of ample size, and it is equally important to give the culvert sufficient fall. A twelve inch culvert, twenty four feet long with a fall of four inches, is better than one twice the

Old World Castle on the Hudson.

Old World Castle on the Hudson.
 Washington Heights is to have a castle like those of the old world. Plans are being prepared for Com mendatore Celestino Piva, wealthy importer of raw silk and a member of Givernaud Brothers. It is to be erect ed on the high bluff overlooking the Hudson river and the Palisades, just back of the historical Arrowhead inn.
 The property comprises more than twenty lots, being part of the former Mccormick tract.
 The castle is to be surrounded by Italian gardens, and the slope of the bluff Is to be terraced and winding roads built to reach the castle from the boulevard. The building itself will be a three-story affair, with two look out turrets at either end and a large pergola at the north end. Italian Renaissance will be the architecture of every detail of the exterior and in- terior.-New York Tribune.

The Kaiser Likes the Bible.

The kaiser is a great reader, and while he tries to keep himself abreast of current events, his favorite book is the Bible, says the London Chronicle
 A well thumbed and marked copy is always by his bedside. When MT. Roosevelt visited Berlin last year, the kaiser made him a present of num- Der of books About half of them re- ferred to theology and the others to military subjects. These two classes indicate the kaiser's own preferences.
