CAUSE OF MUDDY HIGHWAYS Water Which Flows From Fields to Roads is Expensive to Public Forbidden by Statute. Muddy roads due to water which flows over the surface of land' along a highway Into the side ditches are expensive to the public. No railroad will tolerate a wet roadbed longer than Is necessary to carry out the drainage work to dry the earth. But persons whose conveilence depends in no small measure on the roads passing by their property rarely do anything to check the Injury they are working to themselves and their neighbors in the manner mentioned. The Colorado highway commission has called attention to a statute which makes it a misdemeanor in that state to allow water to flow on a road and has issued the following notice on the subject: "From the fields along a high way the waste or excess water is al lowed to run directly to the road ditch, and if, as is often the case, the road ditch is obstructed, this water gets over the road, making a muddy road, which under the traflic soon be comes impassable. This can be pre vented by running a ditch, (a single furrow may answer,) along the fence line and discharging the water into a road culvert at a point where it will drain away. This coiltion also em phasizes the necessity of keeping all the road culverts open and ready to carry water." FvANY GOOD ROADS SURFACED Massachusetts Leads With Percentage of 47.6-Oklahoma Brings Up in the Rear. Massachusetts has the greatest per centage, 47.0, of her roads surfaced. Then come Indiana with 42.5 per cent, New Jersey with 40.5, Ohio with 30.5, Rhode Island with 84.5, Kentucky with 32.2, New York with 22.7, Connecticut with 23.2 and California with 20.2. In diana and Kentucky hold their promi nent positions on account of extensive use of gravel, and it is misleading to class gravel roads suitable for light travel with the expensive types of con struction used for surfacing in Con necticut. The figures refer to all kinds of surfacing and are not restricted to what are called permanent pavements. The smallest percentage of surfacing Concrete Road In Massachusetts has been done in Oklahoma, where 99.8 per cent of the roads are dirt. Other states with low percentages of surfac ing are South Dakota with 8 per cent, Iowa with 1, Kansas with 1.3, North Dakota with 1.8 and Nebraska with 1.7. The excellent maintenance of many of the dirt roads of Iowa makes riding and hauling over them easy, except durIng the spring or after continuous rains.-Nashville Tennesseean. WATER CARRIED TO DITCHES This Can Be Done by Giving Proper Crown or Cross Slope to Road Soils Differ. WVater falling on the road should be carried to the side ditches by giving a proper crown or cross slope to the roadl. Make your road to shed water. The slope should vary with different soils. For a loamy soil a crowvn of about one inch per foot Is considered prop~er; on a clay soil tan inch andl a halt to two inches. The side slopes of dItches should be much greater. The longItudinal slope or grade will also somewhat determine the crowvn. On a steep) grade it is necessary to give a greater crown to keep the wvater from running dowvn the traveled road way and washing gullies. Wide Tires In Favor. Wide tires for the benefit of the public hIghways are beIng I ndorsed quite generally by both vehicle usersi and the manmufacturers of farm wag. ens and1( Implement. To Prevent Eroding. The outlet ends of the culvert should be riprapped to prevent erodIng away on the road on the lower s1ide of the grade. Enemy of Earth Roads. Water is the natural enemy of earth roads and must be kept out of them, off of them, and away from them. Road Drag Is Enough. If a dirt road is properly built, the road drag will keep it in good condi tion. TAKES 1 DANCE New Discovery! Dodson's Salivate or Make You Si Medicine for Me UghI Calomel makes Vou sick.
