A ORAVEt, HO ID.
(From Oool iloada Macailna, Nw torlcj
xtM-cl to haul a Rood deal of water
and use a roller, liy far the most eco
nomical way to build a Rravel road Is
to spread about two luche on the or
dinary surface of a road that has been
previously cleared of all dead nud
worn out material that would never
pack aRalu nud then plow the road
and put the prnvel on about three or
four Inches deep nnd Just allow the
trnlllc to work It In nnd unve n man
continuously nloiiR the rond for two
or three weeks with n rake to fill In
the ruts nnd pick out nn of ihe ti
InrRe Rravel stones, m the tp surface
should routnlu no stouett mrr man a
hickory nut,
"Another method of comttructliiR
thU road which would be still more
economical would be to spread the
Rrnvel on In November or Diveinber
Sprviid It over Ihe rood about two or
three luclut deep, and repent durlna
the whiter as tuf'inilllc worko It Into
the mud. I nm ussumliiR now that
we hate a road that would Ret muddy
hi the winter lime nud one that would
have n clay or loam tottom or n Iotro
pen-cutnRe of loam. If we nro to deal
with n sandy road It will be necessary
to put a considerable perceutnRe of
clay or loam with the sand prior to
the spreadliiR of the Rravel. I have
built qulto a number of piece of road I
In this manner, by puttlnp the Rravel
on durlnR the winter, nud they have
been very satisfactory.
"One of the Rn'ntest difficulties with
a Rreat many people In meudttiR roads.
In my Judgment. Is Hint they endeavor
to patch up the nm,d Instead of plow
Iur Ii up. nud letthiR the whole mass
settle nt once. Some people have an
Idea that tratllc will make n road level
Tralllc will tnnsh down some lumps
Vid some of the coarse Rravel, but If
the material Is not evenly spread or
the rond not properly graded wheu It
l construcled It will Rrow worse that
Is, more uneven as time Roes on. It Is
time well spent In the RradhiR of a
new road to ro over It Innumerable
lime with n road muchtno In order
that the grade may bo mado perfect In
the beglnuliiR, nud l know of a Rreat
pinny rond In Nassau and Suffolk
counties. Now York, now which, If they
could be plowed up nnd hnvo a little
sand put In some places and a little
loam In others, then be thoroughly
graded with n road machine nud havo
n little gravel added during the winter,
would be good all tho yenr round for
wagons or automobltos, and if the
were oiled they could be rendered Just
as dust proof as a macadam road."
