Ilovr to Mix niid Apply Them to Se cure the Best He«*nlt»—The I'ae of Rond Machines In Building; These HlKhwa> n. In an Interesting address delivered at the Greenville (Mich.) good roads con vention Frank F. Rogers, C. E., had the following to say regarding tl)e Im provement of earth roads: If you must always have an earth road and cannot get gravel or stone at a reasonable cost, put clay on the sand and sand on the clay. When these be come suitably mixed, they will form a sort of hardpan, making a very good road surface at most seasons of the year. Of course, the clay Is good when hard and dry and the sand quite passa ble when the weather is so wet that nobody wants to travel, but to secure a medium earth road, good the great est number of days in the year, that it is possible to make it, tills is the best method that we can prescribe. It should be borne in mind that nei ther improvement is very good until suitably mixed, and clay should be ap plied to sand in a manner to secure that mixture as speedily as possible and vice versa. Decide on the width of a given road between ditches—say twenty to twen ty-four feet, not much narrower and not much wider. These are economical widths, and the lack of uniformity in this particular is one of the greatest evils of our lack of system in road building all over this country. Bring the road to a suitable crown from twelve to eighteen inches above the side gutters. This, however, will have to be varied to meet the special needs of drainage for the locality, and should a large ditch be required on a narrow road it should be entirely outside the regular gutter, which will protect the vehicles from the danger of tipping over. To prepare the bed it may have to be plowed toward the center, but, if so, do not disturb the old roadbed unless absolutely necessary. After plowing, harrow thoroughly, take a road ma chine and shape the whole bed to a perfectly rounded shape and roll till no more compacting is possible with a roller weighing four tons or more. A farm roller is of little use for this pur pose. After the bed is properly shaped and rolled as described take a road ma chine and crowd enough earth to each side of a central strip of such width as it may be desirable to cover with clay or gravel. This bring done, clay tfkould be applied on sand to the depth live or six inches where no gravel Is used and to the depth of three or four inches where a dressing of as much gravel can be placed upon the clay. After th* clay is applied, it may be leveled with a road machine if well pulverized, or, if lumpy, it may be leveled by first rolling to crush the lumps, then har rowing till smooth, but in each case it must lie rolled till hard after a smooth surface has been secured. Where no gravel is used the clay must be covered with from one to two inches of sand by reversing the road machine and crowding a little of the surplus sand from the sides to the center. This will prevent the roads from becoming muddy at the iirst wet spell. If a top dressing of gravel is used, it should be applied to the thin coat of clay Immediately after rolling, then be brought to a true surface by the use of a road machine and rolled till it is thoroughly compacted. If the weather is dry, the gravel should be kept sprinkled during the final rolling. When sand is used on clay, we usually secure as good results as by putting clay in sand, for it does not always prevent mud when the ground Is extremely soft. A clay road should always lie well piked with good side ditches, which must quickly take the water to its nearest natural outlet, which in turn must always be so well kept as to take the water at once away from the road allowance. Sand should lie applied to clay after the picking is done, without forming any depression for its reception, as lias been recommended for gravel. Sand should never be applied at a season of the year when a long dry si>ell Is ex pected, but rather immediately before wet fall weather and winter sets in, so that by the next season it may be come sufficiently mixed with clay to produce the condition already referred to. The same practice should be em ployed when any considerable depth of loose gravel is applied to a clay soil with the expectation that travel will make it hank The application of sand and gravel to clay, as above described, can be done In layers, giving time for the first layer to pack before the second is applied. It is often advisable to wait till the next fall before the second layer is applied, thus giving time to watch re sults and use Just the depth required to secure the best effect, as well as to economize material. After all this is done, we have not secured a permanent road suited to heavy traffic, and we shall be obliged to look to the better grades of gravel and broken stone to produce any roads that may really be called permanent The Car* of Earth Road*. Earth roads should be repaired, par ticularly in the spring and fall of the year, but the mistake of letting them take care of themselves during the balance of the year should not be made. The greatest need of the com mon road in this country Is dally or weekly care. A road receiving daily attention will require no extensive re pairs and Instead of becoming worse will gradually Improve. It is minute and frequent homeopathic treatment that the earth road needs. WOMEN AND SOCIETY. [All communications to this column should be addressed to P. O. Box 304. | Very acceptable are inexpensive covers for toilet tables that are in constant use. Fancy covers, half soiled articles are an eye sore. Some thing that even the most careless laundress could be entrusted with can be made of checked linen toweling and the results are very pleasing. Make a long cover for the dresser, letting the ends hang over about twelve inches. These may be hem stitched, the hem being about three inches deep. The pincushion is to be covered with a hemstitched square large enough to fall over and touch the table, a pin at each corner holds it in place. With two sets a toilet table is always clean. A handsome and fragrant sofa cushion can be made as follows: Gather seneca, clover, sweet fern leaves; dry them carefully and add them to pine straw and stuff a heavy, unbleached pillow slip with them. Cover with colored burlaps and then apply a square of tapestry, and then you will have a delightfully fragrant and elastic pillow. Mrs. C. T. Hallman, of Monroe, is the guest of Mrs. Fletcher Smith.

Inter egtiug Fac.'M, [Spartanburg Journal.] The legislature which will be sworn in next January will be entrusted with the election of a number of offi cers of state institution, but it is worthy of note that unless something not now contemplated should happen there will not be a single vacancy in the circuit bench to be filled during the next two legislative years.
