Meets in the True Blue hall in McArthur‘s Block on the first and third Tuesday in each month. i H. E. Arsrix. Com. l How to make a good country road is a problem of widespread interest. In large areas of the country, common earth roads will have to answer all pur- poses for some time to come. In a recent number of the Pittsburg Dis~ yatcb, Mr. John M. Burn describes a plan be has followed for several years with entire satisfaction, as iollows: “ Cut the ditches down three or four feet lower than the roadway. use a two- horse scraper to curve the surface. and the natural forces set in operation will do all the rest. The water drains out of the body of the roadway, the mud surface dries and toughens as it dries. the scraper fills all rots and cuts away all Vegetation, the sun and air dry it hornhard surface; rainstorms simply cash it off clean, and in an hour or so after the rain it is as hard as before. I present it as the most efi'ective solu- tion of the problem of making good .country roads with little expense. “The greater portion of the clay roads (probably 90 per cent.) are in front of farms owned or rented by people who do not have the money necessary to macadamize (stone) them. They really cannot afford to do so, and .it is really to their assistance I desire to direct these thoughts. This is such a simple matter and so thoroughly effective that I desire you to consider the analysis. The existence of the open ditch with clean bottom gives water a chance to drain out of the body of the roadway and run away. The tough mud worked up by hoofs and wheels becomes tougher and more compact as it drains from below and dries from above. “ The scraper drawn by two slow draught horses attacks the surface when sufficiently dry, all loose atoms are moved into the wheel tracks, everything is moved toward the middlelof the road- way, no vegetation remainsbetween the wheelwoys and the ditches, travel com- pacts the stilhdamp material in its new position. A rain may soften some of it again. So much the; better. The scraper trims it smooth again, and about the third time the road is smooth, hard, compact and dry. It sheds the water of storms because of its curve,and especially because of solid, impenetrable surface of tough, dry material. Thus it remains and acts until frost sets in. If the freeze up is rapid, the road is all right and remains so. If alternate freezing and thawing takes place it will roughen up somewhat, but the ditches are at work. and very little water can remain in the roadway, and the road den’t get bad enough to speak of. “It takes water and clay to make mud. Get the water out as soon as possible. The ditches do that, and it is no longer in the roadway, therefore not much mud. It has been a very in- teresting study to me, and I have watched it in all its various phases for many years." C. W. Bt‘nnovxs, R K. \1APLE LEAF TRUE BLUE LODGE .\'o i 4‘.
