While the majority of wiikoum con
iIiiiio to hnvo narrow tires, the few
li.ivl'itf wide tin nro heavier to draw
on i ry muddy nnd (dicky clay muiIh,
;ut . n the Kront majority of roadx, the
niTii-,' country rondH, the advantage
Is In f or of the tire four Inches wide.
It I.-, urged ncnlimt wide tiros that
they '.o not roll frwly In tho ruts
made ty narrow tires. Ko long ns nar
row tires are commonly lined this will
bo tho rase to somo extent; but, on the
other liand. If wldo tires wero general
ly used the ruts would not exist
In nny rime, with narrow tires the
bottom of the ruts inado by the nar
row tires are uneven, and the narrow
rims nro constantly grinding- against
tho aides of the rots, rrcutlng the
Ifreatest friction, so that the ohjeotlon
n bio difference Is not so great as It
npjionrs on first sight, If It exlnts at nil.
It Is further contended Unit tho wldo
tires coiuo In contact with more loose
Htones than do those with n narrow
trend. The greater resistance offered
In this way Is more than counterbal
anced, however, by the loose Htones
dropping Into the narrow ruts.
In tho one cuso tho wheel goes to
tho stone; Id the other the stone gets
In front of tho wheel. Tho Irregular
bottom of the ruts aud the stones In
the narrow ruts keep up u constant vi
bration of the wagon, which transmits
a swinging motion to the tongue, gall
ing and annoying tho horses and de
structive to conveyances.

Bfter a tonn of yeara requiring a atat

It Is soinewhnt astonishing to W-nrn
that ii niiiii niiuri'Kiitlntf nearly 1,(KM1,.
(KNi Is spent nuiiiiiilly by the rural dis
tricts of the stuto of Wisconsin for
muds and bridges, snys Hoard's Iiatry
mn ti. It Is hard to believe that III the
last leu ycnri about f H.'.'kki.ikki hnvo
been fpent for Iheso purposes outside
of the cities mid villages, especially
so when lb condition of the roads and
bridges Is taken Into account. They
have now practically the snine npenr
unci that they used to have liefore
those I-j.vhsMhhi .were spent. The
money Iris literally been dropped Into
tin holes In our roads'.
Hut more nstonlslilng than tho great
ness of these Hinounts Is the fact that
thoy luivo boon sieiit on engineering
pni.liw ts in almost every Instance with
out the ml vice of a trained man. We
would naturally think a mail who start
ed to build n $''..' mi, mo railroad was
absolutely crazy If he did not hire tho
best engliiii-rliig talent be could got.
In fact, the courts would promptly be
nuked to appoint a gunrdlnu by his
heirs If In selected men who had no
I experience nod no technical training
for the work. Yet we go on In thU
k'rent state of ours (Wisconsin) nnd
upend million every year on Just thst
orlnclple, without any definite plan or
my nd vice from trained men. We all
know road overseers -many of them In
lefTerson county who know next to
nothing of the work they lire supposed
o do. mid their work show It.
When we start to build II house We
i;i't n iiiasnu to put up the foundation,
n carpenter to put up the woodwork, a

let the Job to Neighbor Jones lllld Ills
buy, who never built anything more

we c one to select a man t I keep tho
roml 111 rcpilr, so we can get to and
froi'i that house, we elect one who litis
net er given ii day of careful eoiislderii
tinii to the best nml ctienMht means
of keeping that road In proper shape.
We trust to link that he will do It
well enoiik'li. Hut he puts In a hun

iindcrinlueil after some heavy hhowor,
and the bridge and abutments must be
replaced. We cheerfully look upon It
us unavoidable mid, although we
grumble n little, ipilte readily July
taxes next year for soni one else to
wiihIi lu putting lu a culvert about
four times too lare nnd n bridge
twice ns long as needed,
Itnt when wo usk where we can get
trained liieu we II ml wo haven't them
uvallablo-our system hasn't been of
the sort to make them. Wo have hired
n mason to do our woodwork, n novice
to lay the foundation and a blacksmith
to paint the house, until each has for
gotten his o4n trade nnd does not
know tho other. Wc must train men
from the Htart If wo nro ever to have
goisj roads.
The Iowa highway commission has
adopted tho plan of holding a road
school for n week In tho summer, to
which all road supervisors nre Invited.
They go to tho Iowa Rtoto college,
where thoy see all kinds of road ma
chinery ut work nnd listen to lectures
on tho best typo of bridges, culverts
and road machinery. They are given
liberal opportunity to ask questions,
nnd all the help possible Is given them
In the various problems they have met
In their work.
Hio cotnndsslon owns a number of
road levels aud Instruments such
os nro necessary In laying out roads,
taking profile and flxlug the grndo of
the dralnago lines, rnrtlcs of four or
flvo students each are sent out with
these Instruments, each party under
tho direction of ail Instructor, and pro
tiles nro run over different roads and
the grade lines llxed with reference to
drainage outlets. Tho standard sheets
of road cross sections and bridge de
signs which have been made up by the
commission nro taken as a basis for
tho drafting room work, the Idea be
ing to develop more men who can lay
out a pleco of road null muke estimates
as to the cost of reducing It to grade
nnd become expert rond engineers.
Somo stjch method os this must be
adopted In Wisconsin If we ore to ee
any results from tho $30,000,000 that
will be incut on tho roads and bridges
In the next ton years.

Irrltuige Is the essential factor nnd
essence of nit good road building, says
W. It. dolt In n paper read before the
recent Missouri good rounds conven
tion, M;:ereslng Its pros'r ftiiictlons.
ull roads nre good roads, metaling of
.lie surface being simply a ipie llon of
how much ii coiiiiuiiclty can stand nnd
with nit dl'iilii.i;-e would be Ineffectual
stid worthless. A Mudy of the topogra
phy of the regln'i through which the
road In to pass, the (Uiintlty of tralllo
to be served, the comfort nnd 'con
venience of those who Use It. should
determine the best location for a road,
nnd thi'M' reipilre the study of one
iunllfled nnd educated for the work.
A level rond Is most desirable nnd
ocoiKiinli al; hence one should seek to
locate n road so ns to obtain the light
est grades, ns n proper estimate of
gradi'4 Is one of the most Imisirtaiit
parts of the si lence of road building.
The Mrfectly level rond In the best
for traiiHjKirlatlon. but It iots less to
maintain a road ou n slight grade than
on a level, as longitudinal ruts are lia
ble to be formed nnd Interfere with tho
drainage. Any cnrtli road surface Is
greatly benefited by having longitudi
nal drainage nnd Is not so likely to In
come soft nnd muddy In rainy times as
n level road; hence the advisability of
Introducing slight grades at Intervals
for this ptirpoe. 'Hie gradient of the
road will lie determined by the amount
of trnfllc to be accommodated.
Idsposal of storm water Is quite as
Important lis locution and grade nml
should have the constant consideration
of the locating onjrltiocr. Money ex
pended In Intelligent study of I n ation,
grade ami drainage gives more return
than any other oxMnidlturo, drainage
Isdng the most Important factor In the
construction of roads mid the foun
dation of nil road building, water being
the greatest enemy of dirt roads.
Prompt nnd thorough drainage of the
water from the road can only be ac
complished by one who has made n
study of the subject mid Is master of
the situation.
riiderdniiiiage or 1 inglt uillnal tiling
of the road or roadway lowers the wn-
ter level mid maintains n dry subsoil,
thickening the crust of the surface so
as to permit heavier loads, nnd prevents
settling of the roadbed; also prevent'?
the destructive effect of the frost.
Three to four Inch til Is a suitable
size and can be laid so ns be carried
down Into the side dltolu at regular
Intervals, thus having n free nutlet. A
Hue of three or four inch dralnlllo laid
along either or both sides of the grade
lit sufllcletit depth to Intercept the un
derflow will effectually lower the wa
ter level and drain the siibgrndo. If
the rond Is located o;i n slope or side
hill, the line of tile should lie laid on
the upper side of the roadway, under
and across the rondwny Into the lower
ditch. '
The arrangement of side ditches or
drainage should lie such ns will
pf.
fectnally carry away from tho road
way or grade nil water from either
ditch nnd prevent the storm water
from adjacent lands reaching the road
way or grade. Wide shallow ditches
with long flaring sides toward the road
way or grade should obtain, the out
side bank luivlng slope enough to pre
vent caving, which will necessarily
have to be changed for tho different
soils over which the road may pass.
The sIojm from center or highest point
In the roadway should be made with
two planes, sny one Inch to the foot
for six feet each way from the center;
then change to one and one half Inch to
the foot and carry this gradient to the
outside of cither ditch, a distance of
another six feet. This will leave
enough bcrm to support tho traveled
rondwny.
Side ditches should have a uniform
grndo nnd free outlet Into some water
way, so os to drain the road quickly.
Uiider no conditions should water be
allowed to stand In the side ditches, as
It filters through and into tt.e subsoil
of the grade. Water should not be car
ried long distances In the side ditches
nor concentrated to avoid n culvert.
Natural drainage conditions should be
followed as nearly as possible, and
whenever the flow of water lu a draw
or waterway Is obstructed by Interpos
ing a dam In the shape of a road grade
the natural conditions should be re
stored by supplying an outlet In the
shape of nn adequate culvert across or
through the road grade to the lower
ditch.
Drainage of the surface of a road Is
largely determined by Its maintenance.
If the depressions and ruts are filled
by some device or machine so as to
leave a smooth, even surface, which Is
easily and quickly accomplished, tha
roadbed will remain dry and solid. On
long, steep grades "thank-you-mnrms"
or water breaks should lie constructed
at frequent Intervals to force the storm
water Into the side ditches. Construct
these In a broad angle, extending from
an apex In the center of the rond, down
and out to either ditch. The eteeper
the grade the sharper the angle should
be. They should also bo made nt the
top or summit of every hill to Intercept
storm water and divert It to the side
ditches.
In conclusion, let mo recommend the
employment of a competent engineer
to plan all drainage and make profiles
and contour maps. lie will locate
properly the line of drains and roada to
be constructed. Ills contour map
should show the acreage of drainage
areas that shed water to each culvert,
and his profiles should show grades,
cut and fills and estimate quantity of
yardage of each.
