Where the traffic is not very extensive | the purposes of good roads are better served by narrow tracks than by wide ones, while many of the objectional features of wide tracks are removed, | the initial cost of construction is cut | down oneâ€"half or more, and the charâ€" | ges for repair reduced in. proportion. i Where beds of good gravel are availaâ€" | ble, this is the simplest, cheapest and | most effective method of improving Icountry roads. _ With earth alone, < however, a very passable road can be made, provided the principles of locaâ€" | tion, drainage and shape of surface, | together with that of keeping the surâ€" |â€"face as smooth and firm as possible by rolling, be strictlv adhered to. In fact i a good earth road is second to none for | summer travel, and superior to many ‘of the soâ€"called macadam or stone | | roads. _ But the earth roads must. be | covered with some artificial material, | if they are to be made firm and unâ€". yielding at all seasons and in all ~kinds of weather, with a surface | smouth and impervious to water. _ The road that will best suit the needs of the farmer in the first place, must not be too costly ; and, in the seâ€" cond place, must be of the yery best kind, for tarmers shauld be able to do their heavy hauling over them when their tields are too wet to work, and their teams would otherwise be idle. Characteristiecs of Good Roads:â€"The aim in making a good road is to estabâ€" lish the easiest, shortest and most eâ€" conotaical line of travel. â€"It is therefore desirable that rouds should be hard, smooth, comparatively level, or laid out on the ground so that their grades may be such that loaded vehicles may be drawn over them without great loss of energyv ; thae they should be proâ€" perly constructed, the ground well drained, the roadbed graded, shaped and rolled, and that they shou!d be suifaced with the best material procurâ€" able ; that they should be properly maintained or‘ kept constantly in repair Good roads, like good streets, make batitation along them most desirable ; they economize time and force in transâ€" portation of products, reduce wear and tear on horses, harness and vehicles, and enhance the market value of real estate. _ They raise the value of farm lands and farm products and tend to beautity the country through which they pass ; they facilitate rural mail delivery and are a potent aid to educâ€" ation, religion and sociability. Chas. Sumner ones said : "The road and the schoolmaster are the two most imporâ€" tant agents in advancing civilization."

Value of Good Roads to Farmers :â€" Bad roads constitute the greatest drawâ€" back to rural lifte, and for the lack of good roads the farmers suffer more than any other class. Some of the benâ€" efits that would accrue to farmers thru the construction of good roads are : Mr and Mrs Wm Burnett are rejoicing over the birth of a boy. All doing well.
