VALUE OF GOOD ROADS.
! Effect of Hicliway Improvement In
New Jersey* 4
The importance of good roads and
their value to each district having
them have long been advocated, but
not until recent years has the public j
been awakened to their full significance.
After all, it was not by argument
that the public was convinced,
but from necessity In the beginning I
and then by example. The state of!
New Jersey is wedged in between New j
York and Pennsylvania, with one of j
the great cities of the country on its
eastern borders and the second largest
city on its western borders. Its farmers
are mainly engaged in raising truck
for the millions of people living in
those two cities. To do this thousands
of them drive to each city daily with a
load of truck, starting in the morning
anywhere from 12 to 4 o'clock to get to
the markets early enough for the hucksters.
"Jersey mud," a clay loam, Is proverbial
for its stickiness and disagreeable
nature to travel through when
wet, says the Putnam (Conn.) Patriot
The Jersey farmer knows the value of
a dollar and is opposed to taxes, but he
could reckon the difference between
what he lost daily by reason of bad
roads and the tax he would have to
pay for. building a smooth rock road.
That having been worked out, one good
road was built, and those iu>ar it got to
market regularly and easily, rain or
shine, saving enough each trip to pay
the road tax. "Seeing is believing,"
and farmers in other parts became convinced
of their economy, and the examDie
was followed, slowlv at first, but
gradually going on more rapidly.
Last year 100 miles of new roads
were built in that state at a cost of
about $300,000. This year the demand
for them is so great that the state will,
the coming year, venture to put $1,000,000
into 200 miles of macadam. The
state commissioner of public roads declares
that this movement has increased
the taxable property of the
state by $27,000,000. Just think of
that!
BAY STATE ROADS.
Some Facta About the Highways of
Haaaachnaetta.
x It costs on an average $9,000 per
mile to build a state road in Massachusetts,
says the Boston Globe, but
the actual cost depends on locality and
conditions, hardly two cases being
alike. One-fourth of the cqst of a
otofo rnnH 5a linrnn hv the onnntv in
which it Is situated, the balance being
contributed by the state.
The work of the highway commission
has developed a number of high class
professional roadbuilders. Many of
the younger and more ambitious have
entered the employ of the national government
in Cuba. Porto Rico and the
Philippines in the same line of work.
Most of the state roads are of broken
6tone. but a few are of gravel. The
type of road built is determined by the
engineer, who makes careful examination
of soils, drainage, gravel, stone,
grades and traffic.
The thickness of stone on state roads
varies from four to sixteen inches, the
lesser being placed over good gravel or
sand, the greater over heavy clay. The
broken stone used on state roads passes
through half inch, inch and a half and
two and a half inch screens. The largest
size is placed on the bottom, the
second size on top of this and the
crown Is made witn naii men mmenai.
Ail are rolled separately and thoroughly.
The cost of trap rock for roadbuilding
varies from $1.10 per ton to $1.60
per ton. The state owns seventeen
steam rollers, which are employed In
state roadbullding. The standard
width of stone roadways In Massachusetts
built by the commission is fifteen
feet There are some only ten and
twelve feet wide, but they are not
deemed economical to maintain.
When a state road is constructed, it
remains under the control of the state
highway commission. The local authorities,
are taxed an amount not to
exceed $50 per mile for maintenance.
FOR BETTER ROADS.
Hen of Wealth Interested In Highway
Improvement.
Men of wealth are evincing a prac1
*.r-.o A ^mnrnvomont fnr
IJl'Ui 111LCiCOL txi iuau iu^Lui^v? _ ?
the benefit of their fellow men. George
Gould has offered to bear one-third of
the entire cost of the improvement of
the public highways in the vicinity of
Lakewood, N. J., and Colonel J. J. Astor
has spent large sums on the roads
near Poughkeepsie, N. Y.
Recently Harley T. Proctor, a summer
resident of Williamstown, Mass.,
offered to give the town $10,000 for
the improvement of the roads, providing
the latter raises $50,000 for the
same purpose. Mr. Proctor makes the
gift because he believes that better
roads would iycrease the popularity of
Williamstown as a summer resort He
recently had the stone hill road put
in excellent condition at a cost of $500.
The town furnished the drainage pipes
and permitted Mr. Proctor to use the
road scraper.
The Secret of a uoou noaa.
A hard surface, well rounded so that
the water will run off quickly, is the
secret of a good road. Attention after
a road is once permanently built is imperative
so that the washed out places
and depressions where water stands
may be repaired. A little timely work
will keep a road in good shape.
Civilization and Good Roada.
There Is perhaps < no better test of
the life of a civilization than that to
be found in the extent and character
, of its public highways. The degree of
perfection of country roads corresponds
closely to the degree of civilization
where the roads are situated.

the coal bin, and tons of fuel are used
where a single one would give the
6ame results. Open drafts and a range
full to the covers of glowing coals not
only burn a needless amount of coal,
but burn out the range at the same
time. A shovelful of coal or sufficient
to lightly cover the fire will accomplish
as much as a half scuttleful, excepting
in the Increase of the coal
man's trade.
Fdr a small range nut coal is best;
for a large one, small egg coaL Red
ash coal makes a hotter fire, -with
fewer cinders, than the white ash, and
the latter burns more slowly. For
these reasons an equal mixture of the
two is a wise economy. The ashes
taken from the fire should never be
thrown Into the can until they are
sifted. The cinders thus obtained can
ho ncori nn thp fire at times when the
greatest heat is not needed. But they
should always be added after the fresh
coal is well aglow.

which to saturate the kindling and
coal before putting it in the range
will facilitate the housemaid's morning
work, whether or not the Are has
been kept overnight Kerosene should
never, however, be poured directly into
a stove, either from the cup or can.
The best way is to lay the wood on
a shovel and cover it there with the
oil and then add a sprinkling to a
shovelful of coal. Many housekeepers
Insure their kitchens against accident
from this cause by leaving a part of a
cupful of oil for the servant's use and
locking the rest in the storeroom.
A handful of-sugar will revive aD
expiring Are as quickly as will kerosene,
but happy the housewife whose
maid is ignorant of the fact. This accounts
in many cases for the rapid disappearance
of the kitchen sugar sup

HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENT IN THE
SOUTHERN STATES.
Can Boast of Some of the Beat Road*
In the World?The Employment ol
Convicts on the Highways of North
Carolina.
Among the many interesting and valuable
articles published in a recent
number of Harper's Weekly was the
following on highway improvement in
the south:
One of the most important, but
least conspicuous, movements in the
new south is that being made in behalf
of good country roads. About
lifteen years ago there was a general
revival of interest in the building of
country roads, and now many communities
in the south have systems of
roads of which they justly feel proud.

the Rip Van Winkle of the southern
states, has at last awakened and is
giving lessons to the outside world In
the construction of good roads. It is

do exaggeration to say that the roads
of Mecklenburg county, N. C, are the
best to be found in the entire south. - /.?*
The county of Mecklenburg is near
, the South Carolina line, and is pierced
! by that division of the Southern rall|
road which extends from Washington '
to Atlanta. The county seat is Charlotte,
a progressive city of thirty thou|
sand inhabitants. Within a radius
, of one hundred miles of this city thero
are three hundred cotton factories,
comprising more than half of the spindies
and looms operated in the south.
1 In 1890 the authorities of the county
. conceived the idea of utilizing the conI
victs for the improvement of the pub- * pi
lie roads. Instead of locking up of- . /ffl
! fenders in the county Jail or sending
them to the penitentiary It was decfelj
ed to employ them at home in impravI
ing the highways.' A law was passed
authorizing the use of convicts for
[ this purpose. The convicts were or* (
rroni'zort into a Knflfld or ramn. Dlaced
j under the control of a competent su- j ;
, pervisor and engineer, and the work ;
of grading, straightening and macad* j |
f amizing the roads was begun. A short ; '
, experience demonstrated that the con- j ^
| vict laborers cost the county only 25.
\ cents per day per head. Including food, ] '
lodging, clothing and overseeing.. A
, The outfit for the road work, con- j
sisting of a steam roller, crusher, bins, '
portable engine, road machine and a |
screen for assorting the rocks, cost
j about $5,000. At present the county
3 has In operation two road outfits and
3 employs about sixty convicts with each
outfit The total expenditure in /s
j constructing each mile of macadam- /
j Ized road 1? from $1,600 to $2,500,.
] not including bridges. In summer the
convicts live In tents along the road,
and in winter they live In barracka.
The rock used for the roads Is bought'
, from the farmers, who haul and depoa
t it it at iue cxiii v hjl uii-u y. i
5 These roads have been In process of j ^ 'V
j construction for twelve years at the j
rate of about ten miles per year. At ]
r present there are more than 100 miles I
, of macadamized roads In the county. j
f The roads radiate In all directions from j
j the center of Charlotte and extend ten J
jf or fifteen miles to the county limits, j
3 The roads of this county have become
a bo famous that delegations from many
" other states have come here to ln^ct
' them. . I
Many good roads organizations exist , _ J-?
In the south. Professor J. A. Holmes j
I of the University of North Carolina i
r has traveled In many states, giving 11- j
. lustra ted lectures on road construc- j3
tlon and organizing good roads clubs. ;
j His campaign has borne much fruit, ;
3 and the south can now boast of some !
. of the best and most picturesque roada
in the whole world. -j
Necuiltr For Drainage. ?
1 In the Improvement of earth roads
7 one very important essential often
i, overlooked is the necessity for drain- !
3 age to carry off the surplus water be7
fore Jt can soak into the surface, says
? Good Roads Magazine Good roa^s
f can be constructed even in a prairie
- country, and by the adoption of improved
methods Immediate recovery
3 from the effects of heavy rains may be
3 insured. Tile draining is very effece
tive, and with even a shallow dressing
of crushed stone or gravel on the surface
of an earth road wonderful improvement
can be secured. j
3 Should Last For Ages.
1 There is no reason in the world why
^ a road should not last for ages if it is
built of good material and kept in propo
er repair. If this is not done, the moiiey
spent is more than wasted.' If'is
6 more economical, as a rule, to bring
good materials a long distance by rail
or water than to employ inferior onies
procured close at hand. 1
