In building these sample roads, the first thing is to provide the requisite drainage, which is the fundamental principle of road-making. The road- bed is then shaped with the grader, making the centre considerably high- er than the sides so that the Water will readily run 08 into the ditches.

Some of the benelits that would accrue to runners through the construction of tsood roads, like good streets, make them most desir- in transportation of products, reduce wear and tear on homes, harness and vehicles, and enhance the market \alue of real estate. They raise the value of farm lands and farm pro- ducts and tend to beautify the counâ€" try through which they pass; they facilitate rural mail delivery and are a potent aid to education, religion and soeiability. Charles Sumner once said: “The road and the school- .agents in advancing civilization." Characteristics of Good Roads.â€" 16 establish the easiest, shortest and ,most economica1_line of travel. It is .thcrefore desirable that roads should .be hard, smooth, comparatively level, -or laid out on the ground so that their grades may be such that load- .e'd vehicles may be drawn over them without great loss of energy; that they should be- properly constructed, the ground well drained, the roadbe'd they should be surfaced with the best material procurable; that theyshould .be properly maintained or kept con- .stantly in good repair. The road that will best suit the needs of the farmer in the first place, :must not be too costly; and, in the second place, must. be of the very best kind, for farmer should be able to do their heavy hauling over them when their fields are too wet to work :.and‘ their teams would otherwise be :idle. The best road for the farmer, all “things being Considered, is a solid ~well-built stone road, so narrow as to be only a single track, but having :a firm earth road on one or both sides. Where the trafl‘iic is not very extensive the purposes of good roads .-are better served by narrow tracks than by wide ones, while many of the aobjectionable features of wide tracks ,.ure removed, the initial cost of con- .struetion is cut down one-half or more, and the charges for repair reâ€" duced in proportion. Where beds of _;g‘ood gravel are available this is the simplest, cheapest and most efiective roads. With earth alone, however, a. very passable road can be made, prOVided the principles of location, drainage .nnd shape of surface, together with that of keeping the surface as smooth .mid lirm as possible by rolling, be strictly adhered to. In fact a good uearth road is second to none for .‘Fllllllllel' travel, and superior to many of the. soâ€"called macadam or stone I'OEUlS.

Good ltoads ’l‘rain.â€"â€"'l"he Depart- ~1nent of Public ltoad inquiries and me National Good Roads Associaâ€" tion of the United States combined their l'orCes a couple of years ago for the purpose of furnishing object lessons on the. construction and value , of good roads to farmers in a large number of counties. A Good Reads ’l‘rain was equipped and run between (‘hicugo and New Orleans, building .rhort sample stretches of model road, and holding local conventions in nrious cm nlics along the route. By this means splendid educational work was done in the direction of impresâ€" sing upon ihe people the desirability of better roads, and the. facility with ‘whi h they can be constructed. Realizing the great good that 'wollld be uccmnplishcd if a. similarly optipped train were operated in Ca- ‘ll;L(lit, an enort was made early in 12:01 to arrange. for work‘ of this Sull'l; in the Ottawa district.

Into this trench is put first a‘ layer of coarse broken stone; then a layer of fine stone, lastly a layer of still flner stone as a dressing. This last layer helps to bind all the stone into a solid mass, while the sides of the trench hold it all in " place. The ten-ton steam roller is run over each layer of stones as it is put on. The rolling is always done down the sides of the trench first so that the stones will be crowded towards the centre. When the rolling of the sample stretch is completed, the stone should be about seven inches deep, which is sufficient to stand ordinary trafl‘lC. Such a .road may heave to a. slight extent in some localities,_but the expense of keeping it in repair will be much less than for an ordinary clay roa’d. Cost of Such Roadsâ€"Roads such as those that have been built by the Good Roads Train cost anywhere from $500 to $1,000 per mile, ac- cording to management and cost of stone. The average stone road costs from 5600 to $750 per mile. Such roads need a certain amountoi re- pairing, the same as other roads, but not much. . The number of cords of stone reâ€" quired for a mile of road depends a1- together .upon the depth of stone laid down Outfit of Machineryâ€"A traction enâ€" gine for hauling the grader and working the crusher, a crusher, ele- Vator bins, spreading wagons, and a five or six ton horse roller would cost altogether about $2,800, and this outfit. would be sufficient to do all the work for any ordinary muni- cipality.â€"â€"F. .W. ilodson.
