Office of Public Roads will supply this paper with practical articles on various features of road building and maintenance, which will be published from time to time. Our subscribers are urged to give this matter careful consideration, and re requested to forward to this office for transmission to the Office fo Public Roads any practical question which they desire answered relating to road construction and maintenance. Questions and answers will be published by this paper at suitable Intervals. THE MAINTENANCE OF EARTH ROADS. We may recognize the value of bard and durable roads In all parts of the country, but still the fact remains that for a long time to come the majority of the roads will be composed of earth. Furthermore, In about nine months out of the year the earth road, if properly cared for, Is For reasonably satisfactory. many agricultural districts it fp. the Ak I'WTSltshlrf.' IF use Hence these communities should set themselves seriously to work to learn the best methods of maintaining earth roads and of getting the maximum service from them. Prosperity comes to the country to a great extent through the prosperity of the farmers. This fact strongly suggests the importance of giving the eaitb road every possible care and attention in Its location, drainage, construction and maintenance. An earth road composed of soil should be exposed to the sun and air as freely as possible, as comparison between the shaded and sunny portions of such a road will easily Indicate. This should be accomplished by clearing a sufficient amount of trees and undergrowth away from the road. It must be remembered, however, that sandy and gravelly roads require moisture, and in these cases some shade should be retained. Furthermore, trees are beneficial along river banks and on steep grades subject to washing. Drainage is one of the most Important points to consider In connection with an earth road. The majority of earth roads In all mountainous and hilly districts have too much drainage. Occasionally a road jig-gia- g a If It be true that the result of the straw ballot Is to define Tafts leadership still more certainly, while at the same time It accentuates Hughes as second choice. The New York governor now has 41 per cent of the second choice total. With the Roosevelt ballots readjusted he probably owuld have over half of ail the second choices. This would produce a result by which Taft would be Indicated overwhelmingly for first choice and Hughes also overwhelmingly for second choice. The inevitable inference would be the result of embodying Taft and Hughes on one ticket, and this is clearly what was In the minds of a great many voters In this test, as I have verified by personal Inspection of the ballots now In my possession. Everywhere except In the favorite son states the Taft lead is pronounced. He alone of any of the candidates has succeeded in getting a larger vote outside his state than in It. There Is a nationalism In the votes for Taft and Hughes which Is not fully expressed In the case of other candidates whose representation is Invariably small except In their own states. ' g . will be found five with ditches, three In the middle made by the horses' hoofs and by wheels of the vehicles, and two on the sides. All well constructed earth roads are supposed to have no more than two ditches, one on each side of the traveled roadway. Keep the water out of the middle of the road by giving It a crown or elevation In the center of seven and a half Inches above the top of the inner slope of the ditch for a road, and where the hills are a little steep make the -- 20-fo- ot crown 10 inches. With a crown of about one Inch to the foot from the center to the sides, the ditches which are often built across the road on steep grades to deflect the water will not be needed. Instead of carrying water across the road In open ditches, tile or concrete drains should. If possible, be provided. They should have sufficient capacity and fail to carry the maximum amount of water that Is expected to flow through them at any one time. The capacity Is Increased In proportion to the fall or pipe laid grade; for Instance, on a 1 per cent grade will carry 1,800 gallons per minute, while the same pipe laid on a 2 per cent grade will carry 2,500 gallons per minute. Fur thermore. a culvert laid flat will soon fill up, while one having a good In cllne will keep Itself clear. In the maintenance of an earth road, avoid the mistake of changing the natural order of things. Katur ally the soli is found on top and the rlay on the bottom. If this order If reversed In constructing a road, thr result will he less satisfactory thar If the soil be left at the top of the road, for soil makes a better surface to a road than day. If the roadbed Is largely day to start with. It wiP be well to plare sandy soil or dear sand on top.
