, "Making Roads.
. AIsthe time.Iapproaches_ for. making and
repairing highways we earnefily commend
' the following suggestions to all, intrusted
. ‘ with the execution of theseafiairs:
In the construction of a new road ~ bed,
practice must adapt itself. to circumstances
There is noruie' that will hold gbod in all
situations. In some places the soil 'ia‘natu-
' rally just right ; it chariot be improved, and
will never need repairs. Other situations
'only require slight grading, so as'to form a
level ro'ad~bed. In other places the soil is
, good but contains boulders. Every one of
those within‘ a foot of the surface should be
retrieved. ‘ ' 'A single stone in a road may be
thumped'fifly'tiines a day by peasing wag-
“ more than 2000 miles of uninhabited coun- gone ; it‘be low to estimlite the average dam-
age at five cents a thump; and this in one
day would have removed the stone ' at first.
The du'mage that'one such stone may do ev-
ery year would be enough to pay for clear-
- All roads pass over occasional mucky pla-
ces. The most common practice of making

This is worse than muck alone, yet we often
see stones added to such soft pots by those
who undertake to repair them. The only
way such places in roads can be repaired is
t i dig out and cart away the muck,and in its
place put solid materials. ‘
If those who super-intend the repairs of
roads ever fail to put sods and ditch scra-
ping in the road bed, we have not seen the
exception tothe universal rule. They are
about asunfit for the'pnrpose as manure from
the barnyard. , -
\ If a roadside ditch is sodded oyer and it is
necessary to plow it up tomake a waterway
the very worst use you can make of the soda
is to put them where the wagon wheels will
grind them to dust indry weather, and soft
mortar in wet. If stones of one to ten pound
weight are mixed with the sods,so much the
worse.
W0 have often seen such materials scraped
up with the ox-shovel, and left in heaps for
passing wagons to makelevel. Frequently,
where the roads are “mended" in this way,
poles are laid across the ditches to compel
wagons to pass over the new road bed, to
make it smooth.

into the nearest brook. _And then the oper-
ation is repeated, and this is called “mending

frequently bent .cut of their proper course to
seek fording places, because the people are
unable to bridge the streams, and thus the '4
location ofien becomes fixed in the wrong
place, and remains a serious tax upontravel-
era in many future years. There should be
an easy mode of changing roads thus'wroug-
ly lo'cated. - .
nTnaIAI. AND-FORMATION or ROAD-BEDS.
, In the formation of a road bed in wet
soils, one of the easiest modes of making it
always d'ry is to establish underdralns four
feet deep, running, if practicable, lengthwise
' of the way'and directly'under it. It is often
the-case that the very best . material for ' a
road is naturally wet; without draining it
can never be made good. The very best,
earth for a road is a‘gravelly hardean,
when free from water. The?next best, grav-,
el and clay in such proportions that they
will pack hard.
Where the surface is composed of sand,
lion will ever make a good road bed. Ditch
the sides and piling up the c'enter only makes
bsdworse. Ifstonesare mixed in, worse is
'worse still—nothing can be more so.
The best material for forming an arti-
ficial road bed is broken stone,no piece weigh-
ing over six ounces. These broken stones
mustbe laid on thick enough to form into
a compact stratum strong enough to hold
uploaded wagons, however soft the earth
may be underneath. If not thick enough
for that, and rats are cut through, the road
willbeabout the worst imaginable. When
perfectly made, this “McAdamized road" is
the best in the world, and the repairs are ve-
ry slight. But such reads are expensive.
The next best material ls clean gravel; but .
in most cases these materials are eitller not
within reach, or they are beyond the ability
of those who are making the road. They
musi,fherefore, substitute earth, and they
should not spoil it by bad management.
It is bad management to make the ‘road
center of the' other. The slope shouldbe
such that a loaded wagon may easily turn
off the center or rounded part of 'fhe road
bed into either ditch. Under no circum-
stances whatever should water he allowed
to stand in the road ditches on a level within
one foot below the surface of the central
road-bed. . ,
Remember that drainage is the. most inl- -
porfant coriEideration in all rbad-makihg.‘
Another of the barbarisms of road-makers
and roadmenders which cannoibe reprobated
to severe is the practice of making ditches
and bars square across the roadway wherever
it descends a hillside. The effect aimed at_
can beproduced with perfect ease by ma-
king‘ a’ small V-s‘naped elevation, 30 that
the wagon-wheels should not strike it uh-
ruptly. It should have only a gentle rise
upon the upper side, and no perceptible
Another of the heathenislizabominations
of road menders is placing stones and other
obstructions upon' the grassy sides of the
lane, so that ndipart can be used for travel
except. the 'n'armw portion called a turnpike
/
Half the roads of the country which are
delightful'to travel upon in Summer are al.
ly made so by “ mending " _them
late in‘ the Autumn. We, have often
seen _such mending done by plowing and:
scraping the dirt from the ditches into
the center, leaving the piles as they drop'
iromthe ox-shovel tofre'sze up and remain
solid humps during the Winter. The only
escape from such an abominably mended
road is to follow the ditches, or, if possible.-
turn out upon the grass along the sides. .
As a rule all road-mending should be
I
let of September.
The whole system of repairing roads,
now practiced by calling out the handsm
each district to work under the direction of
some one of their number, should be abol-
ished as a wicked waste of time, and because
the system teaches boys the art of cheating
in all work that is done-for thé public.
It is a great mistake to suppose that re-
pairing roads is done for somebody’s benefit
beside our own,and therefore may be ill done
It is hOWever, a fact that men are_elected
overseers of road districts upon the ground
that they will not be exacting in the work
required to satisfy “the road-tax"—-a tax that
the roads are for the public—for somebody
who lives somewhere else, and does not pay
for making that particular portion of the
public highway. And so men think they
are justified in cheating the public by shirk-
log all that is possible of the work levied to
keep the roads in repair. Boys are taught
by the acts of their superiors that cheating
in this respect is r'ather‘creditablo than oth-
erwise. ‘ '
In some cases, where a money tax is col-
lected and a contractor hired to keep the
roads in repair, lie would put the devil him-
self to blush to think one of his subjects was
the biggest liar and cheat of the two.
In the district where the writer lives the
road work was done in 1865 by hired day's
work. in one instance a yoke of oxen,plow,
cart nnd scraper at $5 a day ; two men a ad
a boy at $5 did not do as much work as
would have satisfied any farmer if he had
hired the boy alone. At least Ithree‘fourths
of all time spent in what was called road
mending was' worse than wasted, for the
roads were worse than they would have
been unmended. Upon some spots where
repairs were most needed, mud \vas scraped
into the wagon-way shortly, before it froze
up for Winter. -
There is probably, nothing in America of
public interest so much‘ neglected and ill:
managed as the public roads. In England
scientific men are employed as road survey-
ors, engineers or managers. > .
Who eveaheard of such a thing in this
countl y ? What portion of those who man-
age the repair ofroads know anything what-
ever of the science of road making?
An English road surveyor would as seen
think of using glass for carriage springs, as
loan or mock for a road bed. He would
obtain gravel, if ‘lt was obtainable at any
reasonable expense. He would haul sods
out of the road,and bring gravel two miles it!
