The fiist question to be determined in road -construction is the proper kind of roadway and the depth of the material, I'oa Is made only of small stone, hov4 ever carefully laid and completed to-f gether, are found i.o': to bj so durable iu i his country as they are in Europj. In this country the power of ihe frost is so destructive every wint.r, and the road bed becomes so spongy each spring as the frost thaws out, that a p&vcmeut of small st jnes only his li tie boud. The small stones sink too readily into the soft subsoil under heavy loads, aud a corresp onding rut is at once made on the sur face. The cohesive power of the pave meat being once broken, it jields under 'fu:ther travel on the same principle that an arch settles when the keystone is re moved. For these reasons all good roads of the kind usually' k.riown.'as "Macadam roads" have a carelullyjlaid rubblestone found ation. Its consti ucti n consists in first laving a foundation of anv rough rubble stones of convenient size for hand ling and placing th'in carefully by hand in parallel courses across the road-bed a for a rough street pavement. The nearer s.ich stones can be brought to the gen eral form of paving stone by judicious breaking, the better the work. Blocks averaging 1) ii.cb.es in thickness by 12 inches in "depth will make strong work, however rough their gem ral shape. They should b4 placed on edge, with the larg est eige down, and beset as closely and firmly together as their rough shape will permit. Where the jagged upper edges project too high for the established thickness of the layer, they should be broken off, and all low places should ba tilled with suitable chips well packed into place. The whole course should be gone over, aud all open spaces be filled by ramming stones of suitable sizes into ad interstices with pounders or heavy ham mers. "When ti e surface is level enough for rolling, the heaviest roller obtainable should be used, and the rolling be con tinued until the whole foundation course is perfectly solid aud of the right shape and height to receive the Macadam course; that is, the eouise of small stone. A common error in ro id making is to liave the pavement too sha'low. It must lie strong enough to withstand the heav iest traffic to which it may bo subject, a ithout yielding when she frost thaws out in the spring. Where the subsoil is exceptionally sandy a: gravelly a depth of from (' to inches might answer fairly well, but under ordinary cmdbions a Vi to 18 inch depth is necessary for a cem-' t ten," load subject "to much tr.ive', w hile public highways should ordinarily be still thicker, few are aware of the great difference in ppwer to support a load be 1 ween a linn laer b inches in depth and au;onpac; mas 18 inches deep. ' The proper cure of ihe road under or dinary w ear atvi -tear is as important as its", thorough const! uction. 'J he old adage of the thiilt housewife, that "a stitch in Lime saves uiiuv' may be applied to a Macadam load without -any great wrench of metaphor.
