proving the farm roads. One or more
of the following will, however, US
ually be found available and within
the means of the farmer for surfacing
his roads and paths; Gravel, mixtures
of sand and clay, cinders, brick bats
from old buildings, brick-yard waste,
and quarry waste. The material Sc

heavy loads and possess sufficient

The best possible foundation is good
earth road with a low crown. Earth
shoulders may be graded upon each
side to prevent the surfacing mater
ial from spreading as in the construc-
tion of an ordinary macadam road.
The material used for surfacing
should be given a sufficient crown to
shed the rain waters to the sides. II
a road roller can be secured the me-
terial may be quickly consolidated,
otherwise considerable time will be
required for 1t to be consolidated by
the traffic. During this process the
road should receive frequent atten-
tion with split-log drag or other
means for smoothing the surface and
filing the ruts. On steep grades
where there would be tendency for
the sid dtches to wash, this can US
ually be overcome by providing out
lets and getting the water away from
the road before it accumulates in
large volume. On roads where wag-

fiicient. The surfaced portion need
rarely exceed or s feet. There is
no particular virtue in building a
farm road wider than is necessary to
answer the special traffic requiSe-
ments. The need or desirability Of
moving occasionally extra wide or

A little foresight in the alignmenf'of

Bad Roads ON The Farm.

The private roads on the farm diff
fer in general from the public roads
in the amount and kind of traffic
which they carry. The fundamental
principles involved in their construc-
ton and maintenance are the same.
But, as the farm road is called on to
bear far less traffic, the ordinary
methods of construction and main
tenance are so modified and the use
of materials so adapted as to meet
the special requirements and reduce
the cost. To build the farm roads
in the same manner as public thor
ougfares, which carry much greater
traffic, in general would be useless
waste of money.
The first consideration is the loca-
tion of the roads and paths about
the farm. The roads and paths are
a part of the permanent farm plant.
Consequently they should be so locat-
ed as to best serve the purpose for
which they are intended, should fit
in with the general scheme of the
farm, and at the same time should
avoid as much as possible places
which would require difficult and ex-
pensive construction or maintenance
The main consideration, however,
must be to secure the highest degree
of efficiency from the farm plant as
a whole.
The earth road is the most COM
mon type Of farm road and will pro-
badly so remain. When properly
crowned, drained, and maintained
with the split-log drag or other SINH
lar device, the earth road, on all but
a few exceptional soils or in few
places Immediately around the farm
lots and buildings, can be made to
answer the requirements fairly well.
A little grading will in general give
the earth road a crown sloping from
the center toward the side bitches at
a rate of about 1 inch to the foot,
and side bitches of sufficient size to
carry away the storm water can us
ually be constructed without difficult
ty. If the ground is springy the
side bitches may be made deeper, or
the ground water be carried away
by tile drains.
The fundamental requirement of
an earth road is always good drain
age. This involves, first, the remov-
al of the water which reaches the
surface of the road from precipita-
ton or otherwise; and second, in
certain places the removal of any
ground water which reaches the road |
from underground seepage. Surface
drainage is accomplished by securing |
4 reasonable firm crowned roadway |
and providing bitches of sufficient
size and with ample grade and fire. |
luent outlets. Subdrainage to re- !
move the water from beneath the |
'oad surface or to prevent its pas
iage into the roadbed is usually ac-
most effectively by So
,alled blind drains or by means of
located tile drains.
Road drives Immediately around
he farm and barns which are used
'ery frequently are usually of suf-
lcient importance to warrant some
urface improvement. Very light or
sandy soils cut up badly /
n dry weather, while certain heavy
nd absorbent soils become very
ticky and soft during the rainy sea-
on. Where any considerable amount

SCARCITY AUTOMOBILES
IN GERMAN CAPITAL
(By Associated Press.)

BERLIN, April 27.--Only a third as
many automobiles are today licensed
in Berlin as before the war, the num-
ber having been cut down from 9,143
to 3,130. Of these 1,418 are privately
owned. These are for the most part
trucks of business houses and cars be-
longing to physicians. The automobile
traffic, however, is much less than a
third what it was before the war, since
physicians and other private persons
to whom licenses have been granted
are permitted to use their cars only
for specified purposes, and the cars
may not be used by their families. The
greatest proportionate number of lie
enses las been granted to taxicabs, Of
which there are 1000 in operation
against 1900 before the war.
The number of horse-cabs licensed
has been exactly cut in half, being =.
