the road grader. which are wide and

such bitches wash rapidly on steep

Because Of its simplicity, its EN-

Is an excellent device for maintaining
earth and gravel roads.
The best results have been obtained
by dragging once each way after each
heavy rain. In some cases, however.
n dragging every three or four
weeks had been found sufficient to
Keep a road in good condition. The
drag does its best work when the soil

clay is then dumped on the surface
and spread to a depth Of from six to
eight inches at the center, and grad
ually decreasing in depth toward the
sides. A layer Of clean sand is then
added. which Is thoroughly mixed with
the clay, either by traffic or preferably
by means Of plows and disk or tooth
harrows.
The sand-clay road, after compile

until the surface becomes firm and
smooth. The construction of this type
OF road Is by no mean a quick oper-
alton.
There are 90 many kinds Of gravel

down principles Of construction which
will hold good in all cases.
The following are the principal
causes Of failure in gravel roads:

Second, unstable foundations; plac.

avoided by locating the road around
instead Of over the hill, without ma.
t~erially increasing the distance.
The earth road should have at least
six hours Of sunshine each day. Such
brush and trees as impede the drying
action Of the sui and wind should be
removed. With gravel and stone roads
this Is not necessary, as a certain
amount Of moisture Is needed on such
roads. especially during the summer.
Relocating roads is not an engineer
Ing problem alone. One must also
consider the effect of the road on
those who now live upon It. Many dis
like to have the road placed back of
their houses, or out Of sight Of It. 1t
requires tact and good Judgment to
secure a suitable location, without
arousing harsh antagonism.
The earth road can best be crowned
and ditched with a reversible road
grader. Picks. shovels, scoops and
plows should not be used for this pur-
pose. One road machine, with suit
able power and operator. will do the
work Of many men with picks and
shovels. and do 1t better.
In order to dispose OF storm water
quickly before 1t has time to pene-
'trate deeply into the surface, the road
should be properly crowned. For an

Maccabees, then used as a place oil

poultry house all the way through,
and the result is that the fowls are
affected with many troublesome dir
eases.
Houses should be placed so that
they will not be subject to violent
winds, yet good air and drainage are
essential. A house should never b.
placed in a low, damp spot where
early fall frosts are likely to occur,
These places r always cold and un-
healthy for fowls.

q large pen each one has a chance to
wander about over the entire floor
space, thus getting more exercise,
Generally speaking, it is far cheaper
to build a wide house than a narrow
one. A house 2Ox20 is cheaper than
a house 10x40 and contains as much
moor space for the hens. A house
20 feet wide. however, will be found
tmpracticable for some types Of roofs
and will not be found satisfactor!
where one wishes to keep a number
OF small breeding pens. There are
several common types of roofs used
on poultry houses.
Just which style Of roof should %
chosen Is largely a matter Of personal
preference. but the type Of roof Will
be found to influence the cost OF con
struction to quite an extent.

the maximum load that . team can

the stsepsst hill or through the deep
ct mud hole on that road.
Wherever possible, roads should be
located on straight lines. In q billy
or mountainous country. however.
straightncss often causes heavy
grades. 6traightness and grade must,
therefore. be handled together. The
best location II one which IL straight
in general directions. ID free from
steep grades. IL over solid ground, and
serves the largest possible number Of
people.
In studying tho relations Of grade
to distance, the following principle
should be borne In mind: To life
4 ton n foot high requires 1000
foot-pounds Of energy: on a road. the
surface Of which Offers 100 pounds of
tractive resistance per ton. the same
energy would roll the ton q horizontal
distance Of 30 feet. To save n foot
OF grade the road may therefore be
heightened 20 feet.
The elimination Of n or two steep
hills on a line Of road will frequently
enable horses to draw three or four
times as much as they could draw on
the old road. It takes approximately
four times az much power to draw
loads up ten per cent. grades az on a
level. but on a four per cent or FIVE
per cent. grade a horse can usually
draw (for a short time) as much as he
can draw on a level.
A four per cent. or Ave per cent.
grade is therefore considered the max
imum on roads subjected to heavy
hauling. Steep grades may often be
