worse, to waste money in work Of
this sort with the use Of bad material.
In building culvert the road
builder must observe three funda-
mental requirements:
/. The first requirement is that the
culvert must be so placed that 1t Will
drain across the road, and under the
road, of course, all the water that IS
delivered to it by the side ditch along
the road. If this be not done, the
earth along the road and about the
end of the culvert will be wet and
soggy the most of the year and the
culvert opening will require almost
constant repairs. Repairing high
way culvert is relatively more eX-
pensiye than similar work In town
because of the waste of time of the
workmen in going to and from the
point at which the work must be done.
In placing the culvert care must also
be taken that it will not be choked
by brush and leaves, and this duty
must be discharged by the road super
visor, and will be, If he is worth his
salt.
2. The second and very important
requirement in the building of Il cul'

by some kind of wall or facing car

end of the culvert will not be under
cut by the water and will not be

surrounding or superintendent eartl
will not slide down into the ditch IL
front of the opening, and, with thu
further necessary work of keeping th'

3. The third requirement Is that tn
culvert must be made so strong tina
II will not become broken and so ugh
that It will not leak. These ends cal
be reached by building the culvert o

The material to be used must be dc

REDUCE EXPENSE OF HAULING
Improved Roads Put Farmer In POSI-
tion Where He Can Go to Market
Every Day in Year.

Permanent road building costs
money, and it is well to look at the
cold-cash side of the proposition. True,
the beneficial effects upon the social
and educational standards of the COM
munity are not always susceptible Of
exact calculation, but they are certain
to come; and since permanent road
costs money, we must know there Is to
be a profit from somewhere to Offset
the cost. Something for nothing has
never yet been found.
Profits from permanent road come
to the farmer in the reduction of haul
Ing costs. 1t puts him in a position
where he can get to market every day
in the year, and where he can haul two
loads at one trip instead Of having to
make two trips to haul one load.
