O., March 3.— It is a great mistake to put off working roads until August or Spptomfin»r, according to the road experts of the United States De partment of Agriculture. The roads should be worked when tin soil is damp, so as to make the soil bako when it dries out. If the roads are worked when they are dry, it takes more power to draw the machine ami besides dry earth and dust retain moisture, and quickly rut after rains. The of clods, sods, weeds or vegetable matter in building roads should he avoided because they also re tain moisture. If the working of the roads is deferred until the latter part of the summer when the surface is baked dry and hart!, they are not only diffienlt to work, hut the work is unsatisfactory when done, Earth which is loose and dry will remain dusty as long as the dry weather lasts, and then turn to mud as the rains begin. By using the road machine in the spring while the soil is soft and damp, the s;;rf.ire is more easily shaped ami soon packs down into a dry jlinrd crust which is less liable to become dusty all summer and muddy in winter. Repairs to roods should he made when needed and not once a year after crops are laid Iby. Be cause of its simplicity, efficiency and cheapness, the split log drag or some similar device is destined to come into more and more gen eral use. With the drag proper ly built and its use well under stood. the maintenance of earth and gravel roads become a simple and inexpensive matter. Care should he taken to make the log so light that one man can lift it with ease, as a light drag can he drawn by two medium sized horses and responds more readily to various methods of hitching and shifting position of the oper ator than a heavier one. The best material for the drug is * cedar log, though elm, walnut, box el der or soft maple are excellent. Oak, hickory or ash arc too lie The log should lie from scvei ten feet long and from eight to ten inches in diameter. It should be split carefully ns near the i ter ns possible and the heaviest and best slab chosen for the front. When the soil is moist hut not sticky the drag does the l»est work. As the soil in the field will hake if plowed w*t so the road will hake if the drag is used on it when it in wet. If th roadway is full of holes or bndly nitted the drag nhould be used once when the road is soft and slushy.

Address DMkU. Box 14B» P» M. MARTIN ft CO„ The earth road can bent be crowned and ditched with a road machine and not with picks and shovels, scoops and plows. One road machine with a suitable power ami operator will do the work of many men with picks and shovels, and in addition will do it better. If the road is composed of fine clay or soil it will some times pay to resurface it with top soil from an adjacent field, which has sand or gravel mixed with it. This method, called the “top soil method,” is now in successful use in Clarke county, Georgia. Storm water shonld he dispos ed of quickly before it has time to penetrate deeply into the surface of the road. This can be done by giving the road a crown or slope from the center to the sides, Por an earth road which is 24 feet wide the center should he not less than six inches nor more than twelve inches higher than the outer edges of the shoulder. The narrow road which is high in drag. The width of the earth road will depend on the traffe. As a rule 25 or 30 feet from ditch to ditch is sufficient if the road is proper ly crowned. Ordinarily the only ditches needed are those made with the road machine, which are wide and shallow. Deep, liarrow ditches wash rapidly, especially on steep slopes. The earth road should not he loosened, dug up or plowed up any more than is abso lutely necessary. It should he gradually raised, not lowered; hardened, nor softened. Mayor S. T.
