How Some Farriers Built a Good

STONES FROM FIELDS USED.
Nothing Paid For Material—No Largo

of tho Road Wao tho Coot of Homo
Labor.
One faet people are slow t<> lc*sn U
that tho sell nature made for growing
plants In doea uot make a good road
bed. Soil la dtH'otnpoaed or pulverized
rock with some huniu* or vogeinhls
matter. When this Is wot It la uiud;
when very dry It la dust
When aoll Is used for a road tho
most of the time It la In either one of
those two conditions, but there are
short periods when there la Just tbo
amount of moisture lu the soil that
mnkos It so compact as to l>e a firm
road. For many yours rural roadmak
lug has been some process of getting
more soil luto tbo road and the stones
out. I cau remember how under the
supervision of the “jvnth mnsler*’ we
uaed to work out the road tax by
drawing soli In the road with a ten in
and scru|>er and afterward throw-lug
tho stones from the rondbod luto tho
ditch. The next year, after the soil
had been flattened out by travel, the
fame sol! was scraped Into tho center
of the road again and tho same stones
thrown out. The Inst few years this
work has been tnoro cheaply or easily
done with the mad worker. This plan
of roadmaklug may give a fairly good
country road, where heavy loads are
seldom drawn, for two or throo months
In summer, hut for ihe greater part of -
the year then* Is no tlrm, smooth road- J
bod. but mud. nils uud dust, says W. !
II. Jonklus of Kidney Ccutor, N. Y., J
lu Hoards Dairyman. For the same !
reason that we need better school
houses and rural schools w© u©ed !
better country roads. Instituting Htouv J
or macadamized roads hi agricultural <
localities Is a most wise and farseulug 1
policy, for It hnsteus the tlmo of bet- !
ter agriculture and civilization und *
adds to (he value of real estate. !
Mnu always finds nature has autlcl- *
pa toil Ills needs and la only waltlug
for him to work up to a point whero
ho can use what aho provide*. He
must learn to muke his roads from tho
rock lwfore tho gtacior has ground
them into soil, not afterward. For
mauy years lu many section* the agri
culturists have uot known how to get
rid oX the stones ou their Qelda or what
use to make of outcropping ledges of
rock that could bo quarried. New tbs
modern machinery for making macad
amized road* and the need oX them
and learning the uses of concrete will
auiko those among their moot valuable
•eeets ou the farm. As I am able to

see It, the building of state roads by
statu funds does nut beet solve tho
problem of good roads for tho farmor,
but by the farmers oo-operaLIng with
tho Htnto.
Tho local Interest and effort are need
ed. Thun they will get t>etter roads at
b'HH coot. Id many suctions farmers
are complaining about poor state
roads. In ono road district in Now
York two tnHue of macadamised road
worn built at a coet of 91,300 par mllo.
One half of this amount was subscrib
ed by tho pooplu living In the road dis
trict, and thu statu paid tbe other bn If.
This r-iad was built under the super
vision of the town road commissioner,
and the steam road crusher and other
machinery owned by the town were
need. No large profit was paid to a
contractor. Nothing vra* paid for ma
terial. The only cost of the road was
tho coet of labor. I would call Atten
tion to the fact that the process of
scientific road building an It was done '
In this Instance Is the reverse of that
so long practiced by farmers. The soil
they try to keep In the road Is first
all removed down to the bedrock or
gravel, and when thu grading Is dons
the understratum of the roadlmd Is
inadu of tbe oommou fluid stones ons
or two feet thick. Next quarry storm
or refuse from the quarry Is broken
to make a layer auroral Inches thick,
then finished with a layer of hard
cruenoo stone rrom in* atone crustier
end rolled with the steam roller.
I drove over tbla two yen™ from tbe
time It wee built and can any tt was In
hotter condlton than some-state roads
I have seen built nt tbe same time. I
have taken pains to tslk with people
living on this road and And them en
tirely satisfied with their Investment
and planning to build more of this road
1 think* on one mile of this roed four
farmers live on the average. The road
coet them $050 per rnllo, or about $183
each. The loturest on the investment
Is less than $10, and I think all ran
fee that no farmer ran make a better
Investment Here they have a road
bed that will last for many years, and
the yearly road tax will keep K la
repair. Parma have beea cleaned of
atone In providing material, work was
provided for home labor, a road has
been made in tbe right way, according
to the principles of good roed build
tng, and the benefits that follow are
beyond estimation.
