IIow to Tell a Good Road From a Bad j
Road.
To the Children: In getting facts to |
write your essays for the prize contest j
on the repair and maintenance of j
earth roads, use your eyes. Look at j
a bad piece of road and a good piece |
of road when both are dry. Study, j
particularly, the ruts and holes and I
uneven places in the road to see
whether they make it easier or harder
for the wheels of a loaded wagon to
go along. Study the kind of footing
that the two roads give to the horses.
Xow, study the same stretches of
road after a good rainstorm. You will
see that one road holds-small puddles,
* -"u ~ J
or pools, of water tnat Keep uie iuau
soft and so allow it to be cut up by the j
wheels of the wagons and the hoofs of;
the horses. How do road builders
keep water from gathering on the:
traveled way of a road? Should the1
road slope to the side ditches? How j
much higher should the center, or
crown, of the road be than the out- j
ci/?o Prions of the road? Why do good j
ditches at the side of the road help j
make the center of the road better for
hauling? "What happens when diiches
get full of rubbish o r weeds? When a
ditch along a road holds water or collects
it into pools, how does this injure
the road?
T":-" " Tk?.o r? ATI "FaWVl
umg a 1/105 VII juwli/U iivwu.j.
Have you ever seen a home-made
road drag? It is made by splitting in
two a log six or eight inches in thickness
ard about six or eight feet long.
The twc- halves of the log are set three
feet apj.rt with their smooth faces
forward and upright. They are fastened
together* with braces. A pair
of horses are hitched to a chain fas
tened to the front nan 01 me log.
Should these logs be drawn straight
down the road, or should it be dragged
at a slant so that a little of the loose
earth will slide toward the center of
the road? Should the dragging be started
next to the ditch, or at the center
of the road? Should you drag the
whole road in one way, or drag each
half of it in an opposite direction?
Should the dragging be done when the
road is dry, or after it has rained? A
good strong pair of horses with a well
built drag can drag about three or four
miles of road in a day. What would
it cost a farmer to drag four miles of
road? How would he be repaid for
? *???- -Mf-.. ~ ? .p
*
f
the cost of his labor?
! Remember, children, you are nor to
answer these questions as if you were
answering an examination paper. You
| are to think about the answers and j
asl* people for information and watch
people actually working on roads, and
then write a composition that will be
just the same as if you were writing j
a letter to a frieml, telling hinl. or her, ;
how they made the earili road near you i
better, and kept it from getting full i
of holes, ruts, and puddles.
