The primary source of wealth In our , fortlie material

products ts largely affected by the rela

tions of the wagon road. Without

would not exceed one-quarter of what
it Is today. Wagou roads are the von

the railroads, and with good roads the

ment. 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. It costs much
less and Is more easily repaired.

remains unsupplied wltb moisture, so
that the grass suffers and dries, out.
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. It is
more Imortant than any added ferti
lizer and cannot be compensated for
by the addition of any nniouu'. or kind
of chemical plant food
A soil well adapts to lawns should
consist of clay, silt, very One sand, me
dium sand, course, sand and Hue gravel
It is this difference In the size of soil
particles aud tn the proportions In
which they are present lu aoils that
has given rise to tho different classes
of agricultural soils, such as the clays,
clay loums, sands and sandy loams.
Since tbe lawn Is a permanent fea
ture It Is hardly possible to make the
aoll for tbe reception of the lawn too
rich Stable manure wblcu has been
tboraigbly composted and rotted and
wblcb is as free as possible from detri
mental weed seeds Is undoubtedly the i
best material to use In producing the
desired fertility of the soli l- orty to j
sixty loads of well decomposed stable
manure uro not too much to use upon j
an ucre of land designed for the green- '
swurd. .
In procuring seed for u lawn too
great care cannot he exercised Cure
seed is the keynote to a el cm lawn.
CLEANLINESS AND HEALTH.
Co-operation Important In Obtaining 1

Cleanliness, imtb persouul and mu- .
niclpal. according to I r. William V.
Know, secretary of the California
board of health. Is a mutter for volun
tary and Intelligent co-operation rather
than enforcement of law, except In
flagrant cases. As a rule. It Is dllllcult
to show lu specific cases thut disagree
able sights, smells and sounds ure di
rectly tlie causes of diseuse. Tbey are
nuisances and are allies of disease bo
cause of the opportunities afforded
various animal or vegetable curriers of
diseuse. And just as It puys a railway
company to spend large sums of
money to keep its track clear of weeds
ao thut loosened spikes may be easily
detected or other conditions conducive
to accident, so it will pay tbe people
to spend money and personal effort In
keeping their bouses, yards and city
clean and free from all removable rub
bish as a measure In preventing the
unrecognized approach of disease car
riers Dr. Snow places lu Its right light tbe
position of tbe people. 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.
