Get Bid Of The Water

A good road is a dry road, and no wet road ever was or ever can be good. Get rid of the water and get it clear of the right of way. Turn it out into the adjoining fields and do not let it run long distances in the ditohes. Provide for its discharge at every suitable point and so keep tho road clear and prevent the washes that otherwise are sure to follow. Construct these ditches well out at the edges of the right of way, giving all the space possible for public travel. The best method for raising the roadbed is by the se of the road machine. Where the rocks are uot too numerous tho worst roads can be raised and put in good condition at a cost of from $15 to $30 per rnile. Never leave a piece of road until you are sure that the water will run freely from its surface. - Exchangè.
