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

aids. Tho small stones of whirh they j
re composed, having no singular pro- I
ections or sliarp edges. easily move or !
lido against each other ami will not j
ind together. and even when mixed ;
vith clay may turn freely, causing the j
vhoto surface to ho loose, like materials 1
n a shaken sieve.
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. |

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
