With this ten times as much first class road can be made and finish ed as where old methods are used with tbe same amount of money. This plan works no hardship on the farmer. Qe is tbe kins of tbe country and has enough to do on his farm without working roads. A modern roudmakiug outfit can be operated with three men at u cost of from $13 to S20 per day, says a writer In the Iowa Homestead, and will uiuke a mile of finished road as smooth as a paved street. This Includes tbe mak ing of opeu ditches on tbe sides from oue foot to four feet deep, at the pleas ure of the operator. Earth roads should have u slope each way from the center of about three quarters of an Inch to the foot on level or nearly level places: on hills It may Is- less. If depressions ure left tbey hold water, and everything that touches these plaees makes them larger. Tbe supreme thing Is to keep tbe roadbed dry. thus lessening the bad effects of frost and tbe cost of upkeep. Scientific roadmaklng preserves as much as possible tbe primitive condi tion of the ground that Is, In grading tbe road one should not plow it up like a field, but displace only what earth is necessary to bring tbe road to the proper grade and side slope. In ob serving these matters years are saved lu making a perfect roadbed. Earth rouds ure the most delightful of all roads wheu well graded and free from dust All well graded roads can be wonderfully improved and tbe up keep lessened one-half by covering the top with a coating of about two inches of sharp sand and clay In which may be mixed half crushed stone that will go through a one Inch mesh. If sand and clay are used, mix In tbe propor tion of SO per cent of sand and 20 per cent of clay. If crushed stone Is used, mix It balf and half with tbe sand and clay mixture. This coating should be spread on and harrowed and rolled tin til It Is thoroughly mixed and packed so as to fill all tbe voids, and then it will shed the water like a roof and keep your roadbed dry. In half an hour after a bard rain you will bave a good road. This can be improved by sprinkling with a mixture made of crude petroleum In tbe proportion of one barrel of oil to three barrels of water emulsified wltb tbe soluble part or cream of clay. A little sand Improves an earth road somewhat, but when used alone It U too porous and soon washes Into tbe ditches. Merits of Macadam. Macadam, In use for a century, Is more universally used for country road taring than any other.

A lawn soil should have a good sup ply of moisture at all times. It should be able to take care or excess during the wet season by drainage and during I t'.ie dry sea sou be nble to supply stored up moisture from Its depths. Tills ade quate water supply Is the principal fac- ! tor in grass growth and the one most dihVult to control In a poor soli.

The authorities can do no better health work than their constituents in tbe state of their hygienic education will support. Tbe health condition of a community In a series of years Is the measure of tbe health Intelligence of tbe people. It Is Important for the people to know tbe truths of scientific Investigation, and It Is the duty of the authorities to cir culate not what may be their own per sonal dogmas, but tbe established truths. Make Parka of tho Waste Plaoaa. Utilize the waste places In your city. Turn them Into parks for tbe people. This Is tbe advice of experts in "city beautiful" movements everywhere. Waste places serve no good purpose. Tbey are frequently a danger and menace to tbe health and are always unpleasant to look upon. By trans forming tbem into parks two good ends are attained. They no longer can be used as dumping grounds for refuse and become instead of real service as a recreatlou spot for the public. The cost of this transformation is negligi ble, and every community should con sider the question and the benefits that will accrue. m J .
