The private roads on the farm differ In general from the public roads only in the amount and kind of, traffic which they carry.

fundamental principles involved in their construction and maintenance are the same. Dut, as the farm road is called on to bear far less traffic, the ordinary methods of construction and maintenance are so modified and the use of materials so adapted as to meet tho special requirements and reduce the cost. To build tho farm roads in the same man- Gravel Road on English Farm. ner as public thoroughfares, which carry much greater traffic, in general would be a useless waste of money. The first consideration is the location of the roads and paths about the farm.

The- roads and paths are a part of the permanent farm plant. Consequently they should be so located as to best servo the purpose for which they are intended, should fit in with the general scheme of the farm, and at the same time shovld avoid as much as possible places which would require difficult and expensive construction cr maintenance. The maSh consideration, however, must be to secure the highest degree cf efficiency from the farm plant as a whole. 1 The earth road is tho most common type of farm road and will probably so remain. When properly crowned, drained and maintained with the split-log drag or other similar device, the earth road, on all but a few exceptional soils or in a few places immediately around; the farm lots and buildings, can te made to answer tho requirements fairly well.

A little grad ing will in general give the earth road a crown sloping from the center to ward the side ditches at a rate of about one inch to the fcot, and side ditch e3 of sufficient size to carry away the storm water can usually be con structed without difficulty. If the ground is springy the side ditches may be made deeper, or the ground water may be carried away by tile drains. The fundamental requirement of an earth read is always good drainage. This involves, first, the removal of the water which reaches the surface or the road from precipitation or otherwise; and secend, in certain places the removal of any ground water which reaches the road from underground seepage. Surface drainage is accomplished by securing a reasonably firm crowned rcadway and ditches of sufficient size and with am ple grade and frequent outlets.

Sub- drainage to remove the water irom beneath the road surface or to prevent its passage Into the roadbed is usually acomplished most effectively by so-called blind drains or by means of properly located tile drains. REPAIR BAD SPOTS IN ROADS Mudholes Should Be First Drained and Soft Dirt Removed Don't Be Afraid of Dragging. Don't try to fill a mudho'e without first draining out the water and removing the soft mud. Dont try to fill it with large stones, because if this is done there will soon be two mudholes instead of one. Don't try to fill a mudhole with sods or similar material which absorb water readily.

On an earth or gravel road ruts are best treated with the drag. Don't bo afraid of dragging too often during rainy spell. If a thin coat of sand or gravel be spread over the road surface when it has been softened by rain and then worked in by traffic and a liberal use of the drag, a poor earth road can be much improved and made to carry a surprisingly heavy traffic for a short time. Keep to the crown of the road. IC everybody does that, and keeps Just out of the rut, there cannot be any rats.
