In connection with the bnilding nntl < naintcuanco of gravel roads the most , 1 mportunt matter to consider is that of electing the proper material. A small woportion of argillaceous sand, clayey, ir earthly matter contained in some jravel enables it to pack readily and onsolidate nnder traffic or the road oiler Seaside and river gravel, which .1 11..

Inferior qualities of gravel can some- j imcs he used for foundations, hut vhere it becomes necessary to employ j nch material even for that purpose it ; s well to mix .iust en uigh sandy or ! laycy loam .to hind it firmly together. | "or the wearing surface or tlte top layer lie p> holes should, if possible, be coiua'.ra'iv^v clean, hard, angular and nr.'h. > > that tlmy will readily consul- ; date and will not I n easily pulverized ' ( ,?y the impact of traffic into dust ;rnd ' innd. The.,' should lie course, vnrvinp in ' s'.Ke from half an inch to an inch and mo-half Where blue gravel or hardpan and . lean bank gravel are procurable a pood road may bo made by mixing the two together. Pit gravel orpravel dug from Hit' earth. as a rule. contains jou mucn artky matter This may, however. Vie emoved by sifting For this purpose wo t-kvosuro necessary, through which the gravel should bo thrown. Tlie ine* h< s of one sieve should be one and no-half or two inches in diameter, while the meshes of the other should be three-four'hs of an inch. All pebbles which will not go through the one and :u<ehalf inch meshes should be rejected ir broken so that they will go through. All material which sifts through the three-fourths inch meshes should he rejected for the road, but may bo used in making side paths. The excellent road which can ho built from materials propa red in this way is so far superior to the one made of the natural clayey material that the expense and trouble of sifting are many times repaid. Some earth roads may lie greatly iuinroved by cove rime the surface with a jayer of three or four inches of gravel, mid sometimes even a thinner layer may prove of very great boneiit if kept in proper repair The subsoil of such roadway ought, however, to lie well drained or of a light and porous nature. Roads constructed over clay soils rouuirc a laver uf at least ?.iv. to prevent the weight of traffic forcing fho surface material into weak places in the clay hem-ath. and also to prevent the surface water from percolating throngh un.l softening the clay and causing the roadway to be torn up. Uwingto a luckot knowledge regarding construction. indifference or carelessness in building or improving, roads made of gravel are often very much >vorsp than they ought to be. Seine of them arc- mad?) by simply dumping the material into ruts, mudheles or butterliho depressions or on unimproved feiinlation and are left thus for traffic to consolidate, while others are made by covering the surface with inferior material without any attention being paid to the fundamental principles of drainigo. As a result of such thoughtless and haphazard methods the road usually becomes rougher and more completely covered with holes than before. In constructing a gravel road tho roadbed should first 1*> brought to tho proper grade. Ordinarily an excavation is then made to the dtpth of s or 10 inches, varying in width with tho re fjuirements of traffic. For a farm or farming community tho width need not be gre: tor than !?> or 12 feet A road way whi' h is too wide is not only useless. brt the e.strii width is a positive [hunngo Any width beyond that need- ! ! fur the traffic is not i i.lv a waste i ! l!i? 11? y in c?n>tiiictiu^ the mail. l?nf is tin* I'uih': > i is never < tiding expense in in, in1 niii^ is The surface of the !*?
