It served 1ts pm‘pose when vehieles were all horse- idrawn, it ‘was acknowledged, but with Ithe advent of motor vehicles it was {lald aside with 'the muzzle loaders, |crinolines and other prides of depart- iéd days. But recently the macadam |i'bad has " come’ back again '1lnto vor. . This is because ' road ‘of- clals are ‘nmow judging the ' cost IM a'road by its total annual expensé, #ncluding’ ‘maintenance and sinking #und. ' On this basis it has been dis leovered'that & macadam rodd is 'an Ju | the best things & woman can nom!ell one tor cemm clasges ravel:=Fhis was the opinion expressed ‘ the recent meeting of the New York Highway i @~ + . of " those : ~Prfl,’§ull! a enf gmda built iby these men have two courses of Bioken stone, and frequently it is pos- ““le to :mnd the roads with"a Tower rse of cheap local ltone, using the jitore ‘extienbive! stoiie frofn a diftance g-gr thé. uppek conrde oply. This re- nces the first cost without causing dny rediction n ‘the 1Pe and strength 0! the road. When they are finished they are sometimes treated at once with tar or asphalt, but usually this ftreatment is deferred long enough for travel over the road to reveal any ‘weak spots, so they can be repaired be- fore the oiling is done. It is this de- velopinént of efficient and economical methods of maintenance with the help of road ofls which has led to the renaissance of water-bound. macadam in New York. It is'one of many recent indications that where the work of maintendnce is thoroughly ‘done and cost records of it are properly kept 4mportant light is thrown.on the best types of construction to carry travel ot different classes and inténsities. .A Great Dtscoverx\ wollen luméa, ankles, feet are due to 's_dropsical condition, often caused by | = disordered kidneys.

Summarized briefly, the essentlals to successful state highway ‘adminfs- * tration, as demonstrated by the ex- perience of the various state 'high- way departments, are as follows: (a) The elimination of politics-as a fac- tor in state highway work; (b) the control by the state highway depart- ment of all work on which state funds are expended; (c) odequate appro- priations for contizuous maintenance of highways under efficlent super- vision from the day the highways are completed; (d) state supervision as to surveys, plans, and specifications of roads ‘and bridges constructed un- der bond issues, and supervision qf such other road and bridge work as requires considerable cash outlay and the exercise of engineering skill and knowledge.—Yearbook ' United States Department of Agriculture. i QUESTION OF BETTER ROADS Poor Policy for Farmer to Refuse to Listen to Arguments for Improve- ment of Highways. It wouldn’t do any ¢f us any harm to look ‘thoroughly into the question of better roads. Don’t be narrow enough to take one side of the question and refuse to listen tv any facts or opinions advanced on the other side, A man told us the other day that he had been trying ‘to 'talk to another man who had an entirely erroneous opinion-in regard to-the federal aid proposition. “He literally wouldn’t listen to me,” he said. “His head was so full of the wrong idea that no sound seemed abie to penetrate it” To listen is mot necessarily to be con- vinced, and to refuse to listen 1s to refuse to be broad 4ninded enough ta hear both sides and form a real opin fon.—Twentieth Century Farmer. Grading and Drainage. The first step in the making of good roads iIs grading and draining. The next is dragging, and the next step, in most localities, as long as the cost of a good grade of asphaltic road oil re- ' mains below 6 cents-a gallon, will be otling. Increase of Trunk Roads. The aid now rendered by the fed- eral government to the states will rap~ {dly. facrease the proportion of good trnnk roads.
