The limestone turnpikes of central

linn lmlf a century, and now Fayette
uuuty is the tirst of localities iu the
rent west to take up the mo lei roads
ysteui on anything more thau nn excrimental
basis, nays the Ixiuisrille
ourier-Journal. Thirteen great turnikes
radiate from I<exinjrton like the
pokes from a wheel, and for two
lilcH on each one of them, coiumencag
at the city limits, the lineal court
as ordered to be constructed a turnike
on the model road system. This
leans twenty-six miles of roadway,
nd It Is more than probable lliat
efore the contract for tbis length of
oad is completed other contracts for
dditlonal road construction on this
rlnclple will be let. As there are 400
llles of turnpike hi Fayette county
be complete reconstruction would
lean the investment of $500,000 In

It Is expected that by the fall of 1002
lie twenty-six miles of model road
ontractod for will be completed. The
seal court Is then expected to issue an
rdcr fo:* an additional two miles on
ach of the pikes until all nre recontructed
throughout the entire length.
The model road when completed Is as
mooth as a billiard table, sheds water

lore durable than the regulation macdamiztMl

Ah a preparation to reconstruct*
lg an old turnpike a fifteen ton spiked
oiler Is ruu over the old road to tear
p the metal, as the rock Is called, of
rhlch the pike is constructed. This is
allowed by a half ton harrow, which
ompletes the work. A modern grader
ben shapes tiie iuetal ho that the road

Of course there are a number of deails

ind to avoid those various artifices are '
esorted to. lu discussing the qucsIon
Professor M. A% Scovell, director
f the Kentucky agricultural ezperi*
aental station, said: \
"A number of things affect the duraillity
of a road. First. If water stands
in It; second, if the road is not so contracted
as to prevent water from perneating
it; third, if the roadbed on
vhlch the metal rests becomes soaked
vlth water; fourth. If the metal Is not
irmly uounu togemer i?y ursi corataeting
anil then cementing; tlftli, if
he metal is too soft to stand wear.
To prevent standiug water the road
houhl be well crowned. If water can
lermeate the metal of a road, especialy
In freezing weather, it soon disinejr

thoroughly and rolling and then
vetting ngaln and rolling with fine
ock scattered over the roadbed. This
oments the entire mass. If the dirt
oundatiou on which the metal rests
tecomes tilled with water, It soon setlcs.
and this causes the metal to break.
When It freezes enough to freeze
hrough the metal the soil underneath
'xpands, aud this expansion soon
>reaks the metal and destroys the
oad. It Is necessary, therefore, to
cell drain any places lu the road which
ire liable to be wet. For this tile
trains are put down at the side of the
oad three feet deep, Proper crown,
borough cementing and compacting
ind drainage of the foundation road>ed
are the essentials of model roadluildlng.
and these are essentials In

BURDEN OF BAD ROADS, j
Put Expeaae They Annually Place
oa the Farmer.
Id a country ns large as that iu
which we live, with the greater part of
Its producing regions widely separated
from the markets which they serve,
the matter of transportation Is one of
vast importance, writes Hon. Martin
Dodge in Forum. Tills applies particularly
to our agricultural products; for,
while a great portion both of our manufactured
output and of our farm
growth must be moved long distances
by rail or water before reaching a market,
practically all of the latter must
also be transported for greater or less
distances over the public highways.
The question of marketing these agricultural
products, amounting In the
United States to f1,000,000,000 annually,
on terms that the dealer can afford
lO pay OUU lue fiiunu IU UW|II| viku
reduces itself to a question of cheap
and quick delivery; In other words, to
a question of economical transportation.
As far as the railways and steamship
lines are concerned, this problem has
been dealt with very intelligently and
satisfactorily. Skill and money have
been applied without stint to the provision
of enlarged means of conveyance,
improved ways and Increasinl
power. These influences, under the
stress of strong competition, have reduced
long distance freight rates to a
reasonable level.
There Is one phase of this transporta
*- % ?,k|Ati Uiit. nn
UOU prouii'iu, liuwc* crr nuitu uua ?|I
proacbed no satisfactory solution. Tbat
is tbo matter of wagon road baul. As
bas already been said, wbile tbe greater
part of our farm products travels by
steamship, canal or railway for a portion
of tbe journey to market virtually
all of tbem are coavey^d, for some distance
over tbe public highways. It Is
unfortunate tbat this <s often tbe most
expensive part of tbelr Journey. It baa
been shown by mathematical demonstration
that it costs more to move a
bushel of wheat or a ton of hay ten
miles over tbe average country roads
of tbe United States than to transport
tbe same burden 500 miles by railway
or 2,000 miles by steamship. It has
happened many times in different parts
of the country tbat fanners bare let
crops go to waste because tbe cost of
hauling them to tbe nearest market or
railway shipping point over wretched
and ill kept roads amounted to more
than could be realized for them afterward;
whereas, if good roads on which
heavy loads could be hauled bad been
at hand, tbe same crops could have
been marketed at a small profit to the
producer, while the economic gain resulting
from their application to useful
purposes would have been very considerable.
HIGHWAYS OF EUROPE.
Frame* Leads la Intcn of Balldlag
and Maintenance.
Two hundred years ago England had
the worst roads in the world because
tbe peasantry living oa tbe roads alone
were required to work tbem, says the
American Asphalt Journal. In speak*
lng of them Macaulay says "that a
route connecting two great towns which
have a large and flourishing trade with
each other should be maintained at tbe
cost of tbe rural population scattered
between tliem is manifestly unjust It
was not until many toll bars bad been
violently pulled down, until the troops
bad In many Instances been forced to
act against the people and until mucb
blood bad been sbed that a good system
was Introduced."
Every class now contributes to the
maintenance of the road system in England.
The French have probably the
most efficient laws and regulations in
tbe world for tbe building and repairing
of highways. Tbe minister of public
works has the general superintendence
of all roads and ways by land and
by water. There are four classes of
rood recognized by law?namely, (1)
national, (2) departmental. (3) military.
(4) crossroads. National roads are built
and kept up b$ tbe national treasury.
Departmental roads are a charge upon
the departments through which they
pass, and part of the military roads are
kept up by the government and part
by tbe departments through which the
roads pass.
Tbe crossroads are kept up by me
communes, though sometimes In thinly
populated regions these communes receive
assistance from the government,
especially when these roads become of
Importance.
The national roads are paved like a
street, having an average width of C2Vs
feet Tbe departmental roads are SO
feet wide, and the military and crossroads
are of variable width. Piles of
broken stone are placed at convenient
distances, and a man Is constantly employed
In repairing each section.
Coaceralaff Side DUcbri.
When the road Is In an excavation,
great care should be taken that a side
ditch is provided on each side to carry
away the water so that it shall not run
down tbe middle of tbe road, as is frequently
the case. Every road should
have side ditches, even one tnat runs
straight down the side of a bill. The
teepost road needs the side diteb most,
but often has none. Frequently the
water runs down the middle of the
road on a side bill and wears It Into
gullies, which are a discomfort and
perhaps dangerous in both wet weather
and dry. The water must not be suffered
to run lu the road, but must be
made to run off the road.
Cities and Roads.
One of the speakers at the good
roads congress at Buffalo maintained
that If the tide of migration to our
cities Is to be turned it will have to b?
done by means of roads that make easy
communication with the surrounding
country. In that light the good roada
question takes on a new aspect
GOOD ROADS DEPARTMENT.
Comckc and Tranaportatloa May i
Have Place la Cablaet.
Good road enthusiasts are confident ,
that the bill providing for the creation
of a new government department will 1
be passed at the raining session of congress.
The measure, as proposed and
as it will be baeked by the good roads
people, provides for the establishment 1
of a department of commerce and
transportation or commerce and public
works. It is iutcndcd to establish under
its direction a bureau of good
roads. At present the bureau of public
mnil Immlrioa In mnli>r tho denartment
of agriculture. It Ik also the intention
to place bureaus now under the direction
of the interior and treasury departments
under the proposed department
of commerce. President Moore
of the Xatiouiil Good Hoods associa|
tlon recently said:
"I have talked with a great many
members of congress this summer,
with the result that I am confident tne
new department will be created at the
next session. Every senator and repreaentatlve
I have seen favors it
"Heretofore the politicians have not
understood the situation, but uow they
are getting their eyes opened. The
people are also beginning to see something
must be done toward building
permanent good roads. Our mission la
to educate, aud In establishing this department
and making a literal appropriation
for It the government will also
be educating. No one expects the gov

IfrUUiUUl IU UU1IU \ Ut* i uuuo. uuv U
proposition would be foolish. The government
cnn. however, build sample
roads and thereby let the people know
what the advantage* are. The states
must build the road*.
"The railroads are Interested In a
movement for good roads because they
realize good roads arc essential to their
Interests. At present shipments practically
stop In a large part of the country
for five months every year bccause
the farmers cannot get to the railroad
stations. The result Is the railroad
companies must try to have cars enough
to carry the business when the farmers
can get to the stations. This compels
them to keep large numbers of cars
Idle much of the time, and as they
don't want to maintain any more rolling
stock than Is absolutely necessary
they are usually short of cars when the
rush comes. With good roads all over
the country the trafllc would be distributed
through twelve months of the
year. This Is the reason the railroads
want good roads."
STATE AID IN NEW YORK.
Wkit It Is AceoBpllahlag For RoM
Improvement.
In a recent bulletin reviewing the
work of road Improvement In New
York state State Engineer Bond says:
The legislature appropriated $420,000
for road improvement this year, and
in the three years in which road Improvement
work has been in progress
20 roads, having a total mileage of 45
miles, have been improved at a cost of
$367,000; that 3G roads, having a mileage
of 122 miles, are now undergoing
Improvement at a cost of $773,730;
that funds have been awarded for the
Improvement of 3 roads having a mileage
of 7 miles at a cost of $5C.G00, and
that plans have been approved by
boards of supervisors of 12 counties
for the improvement of 47 roads, having
a mileage of 134 miles, which
would impose an expense upon the
tate and the counties, if adopted, of
$1,001,443.
When all the roads already improved,
those under Improvement and
those whose Improvement is suggested
have been Improved. 100 will have
been constructed In 23 counties, covering
310 miles, at a cost of $2,2S9,374.35,of
which the state will have paid
one-half and the counties one-half.
ROAD PROGRESS IN OHIO.
Improvement Doe* St.! Keep Pace
With the Demand of the Times.
Ohio has by no means kept pace in
the matter of roudbulldlng throughout
the country districts cither with the
progress made lu steam railways or in
the improvement of city streets, where
within the past twenty-five years the
old macadam and bowlder thoroughfares
have given way almost entirely
to the more perfect and lasting granite,
brick and asphalt, says the Cincinnati
Commercial Tribune.
It is true there is in this state a law
which enables the townships throughout
Ohio to improve their road system,
known as the free turnpike law, and It
| has done wonders for the common
i roads of the state during the twenty,
five years or mure that it has been in
I force. Perhaps a few other states have
, similar laws, but they are not general,
j The ordinary country roads throughout
the country generally ure, as they have
! always been, things to avoid In the season
of freezing und thawing, during
which they are usually impassuble.
Bond I*rogKH In Tenneaaee.
' Judging from the enthusiasm which
attended the recent unnual meeting of
tlii* Tennessee uoou iioaus uhsui-iuuuu,
u.ucIj work iu the improvement of
highways will be accomplished lu that
state next year. The convention was
not content with academic discussions
of the advantage* of sood roads, the
best material for roadways and the
like, but took practical steps toward a
realization of the ideals. To secure.
united action throughout the state aud
to build up an organization which
would be strong enough to demand leg-1
Islation each county court was urged \
to send three delegates to each annual {
meeting of the State Itoads association.
It was decided also 10 ask the legislature
for the appointment of a state tn- 1
gineer to consult with county superintendents
in tiie matter of roads and j
bridges and for legislation which would
permit the employment of Jail inmates ,
In roadmaking.
