Gravel Improves Roads. Where gravel is abundant roads may be greatly improved by spreading a layer of the same on a central space in the road. This space should be . not less than say twelve feet wide. ' If the gravel is suitable, two to three 1 Inches of it will tend to firm the road- ' bed. Of course the ideal way where ' the materials are suitable and the expense can be borne Is to remove the r earth from this central portion and J nearly fill the depression with small j stones. Then cover with two or three J inches of earth and over this spread j the gravel. A Good road is thus made 1 and one that lasts, but this can only be done where such material in plentiful.
