Underdrainags Below Surface With Farm Tiles a Great Protection—Side Ditches That Hold Water Make an Inferior Roadway. Tile drainage, says Professor Ira O. Baker, is the very best preparatiou for a gravel or a stone road. Gravel or broken stone placed upon an undrained foundation is almost sure to sink grad ually, whatever its thickness, whereas a thinner layer upon an underdrained roadbed will give much better service. “Roads tiled without gravel are better than roads graveled without tile.” The road should be underdrained so as to keep the water level well below the road surface. In most localities this can be accomplished reasonably well by laying a line of farm tile three or three and a Half feet below the road surface along one side of the road way. It is sometimes claimed that there should be a tile on each side of the road. Some writers on good roads advocate the use of a line of tile under the mid dle of the traveled portion, and some advocate a line on each side of the wheel way. The object sought by these tiles is rapid drainage, and therefore it is urged that they should be laid near the surfaie. It is doubtful whether any water will reach the tile, since the road surface when wet is puddled by the traflic, which prevents the water percolating through the soil, and it is certain that in clay or loam the drain age thus obtained is of no practical value. More than one farmer has tried to drain his barnyard by laying tile near the surface, always without ap preciable effect. While a line of tile on one side of tbe road is usually sufficient, there is often a great difference as to the side on which it should Ik; laid. If one side of the road is higher than the other, the tile should be on the high side to intercept the ground water that is flowing down the slope under the sur face. The tile should be laid In the bottom of the silt dit< h below the frost line. Of course the tile should have a uni form grade and a sufficient fall and an adequate outlet. The size of the tile required will depend upon the length of the line and the grade of the ditch, but local experience in farm drainage is likely to In* a better guide than any general statement that can be made. Farm drainage is almost certain to precede road drainage in any particu lar locality. The side ditches are to receive the water from the surface of the traveuta way and should carry it rapidly and entirely away from the roadside. They are useful also to intercept and carry off the water that would otherwise flow from the side hills upon the road Ordinarily they need not be deep and if possible should have a broad, flar ing side toward the traveled way to prevent accident if a vehicle should be crowded to the extreme side of the roadway. The outside bank should be flat enough to prevent caving. The proper form of ditch is easily made by the usual road machine or road grad er. The side ditch should have a free outlet into some stream so as to carry the water entirely away from the road. No good road can be obtained with side ditches that hold the water until it evaporates. Much alleged road work is a posi tive damage for this reason. Piling up the earth In tlx; middle of the road Is perhaps in itself well enough, but leav ing undralned holes at the side of the road probably more than counterbal ances the benefits of the embankment A road between long artificial ponds is always inferior and is often impassa ble. It is cheaper and better to make a lower embankment and to drain thoroughly the holes at the side of the roads. Often the public funds can be more wisely used in making ditches in adjoining private lands than in mak ing ponds at the roadside in an at tempt to improve the road by raising the surface. New Dust Killing Machine. Consul General Robert J. Wynne re-j ports that a new tar spraying machine which the makers claim will do away with the dust nuisance has been tested on the roadway in front of the Horti cultural hall, Westminster, London, be fore practically the whole of the mu- j nieipal engineers, a large number of ! county surveyors and suburban engi-1 neers and two representatives appoint- ‘ ed by the war office. After the tar I spraying process a second machine j scattered a level layer of granite grit and chips upon the tar, which when rolled formed a road with a fine, | smooth surface, durable and dustless j A tar macadam road made in this way costs from 3s. Gd. to 4 shillings (85 to 97 cents) a square yard as against ordi nary macadam, which costs on an av erage 2s. Gd. (GO cents) a square yard. Useful Trees For Roads. French roads are commonly border ed with shade trees. This is believed to be a protection of the roads against the effects of excessive heat and drought. Only such trees, however, are considered useful as have vertical ly descending roots. The spreading roots of other kinds might damage the road. GOOD ROAD SUGGESTION. Why County Fairs Offer Good Open ings For Starting Reform. One of flic most practical sugges tions yet offered for the creation of sentiment f«r good roads is that put forward as follows in the Metropoli tan Magazine: “The county fair offers a peculiarly good opening for starting reform. Here are gathered the brain and sinew of the community—intent, it is true, on diversion and recreation, but equally alive to the material benefits to be de rived from the numerous meetings where a free interchange of ideas is insured. Secure some good speakers; make it known by circular or through the columns of the county and town papers that the good roads problem at the next county fair Is to be discussed by local talent and by men trained in the actual field work of this impor tant business. There will be no diffi culty in securing interested audiences, and it will be the exception if results are not manifested either in the change of feeling or in the organiza tion of a reform movement. Meetings of boards of trade, granges, both state and local; educational conventions, chambers of commerce and such func tions are also good starting points for effective work in the good roads move ment.” Public spirited thiukers whose minds can transcend the needs of the immediate present, says the Atlanta Constitution, are impressed with the wisdom of pushing the propaganda for good roads side by side with that for better transportation facilities by rail or water. What will it avail to double track | trunk systems and construct more in- j dividual lines and deepen navigable I rivers if we make access to them j along the country roads difficult, slow ; and expensive? The county fair is an established institution in Georgia in as great a degree as the other popular meetings to which reference is made in the foregoing excerpt. If the importance of good roads is made a topic of discussion at such gatherings anu at such state wide as semblages as that comprised in the Atlanta interstate fair the substan tial progress legitimately expected hardly lends itself to computation. Dust Layer. Water gas tar makes a satisfactory dust layer when used in moderate quantities on roads already In fairly good condition. It can be applied to good advantage with an ordinary sprin kling cart. Preventive of Mud. Liquid asphalt as a dust and mud preventive is used in preference to all < r materials by the highway au- t ittes of the District of Columbia.
