Cjst Methods of Maintaining Country Thoroughfares. Proper DrainaRO is the Essen tial Feature of Improvement. Itv this term (dirt roads )is men lit those roads which are formed of the natural soil found in tho line of Iho roadway. They are so common as to be almost our only roads outside of town and city limits, and will for many years be u-ed largely in country districts, and especially on the lines of cro-s-ro ids which conn. et the main high ways, hirt road-, at their best, are greatly inferior to M icid un and Tel ford roads in every essential of a good highway; in durability, cost of main tenance, drainage, tractive qualities, and, in many locutions, in point of economy also. Put tho dirt road i here, and the public hand liiu-t bo directed to it treatment. Tin- first and luo-t im port ml thing nece-sary for the maintenance of a dirt road may be stated in a single word drainage. It is the one thing that can neither be dispensed w ith nor neglected. Mu-t dirt is soluble and is cn-ily displaced under the -oflening intbietice of rain, and Ibis procc.s is hastened in the dirt road hy the passing of heavy wagons over the wet surface. ( n every tnilo of roadway within the Foiled Males thero falls each year an average of "T.ooO tons of wa'er a heavy, limpid fluid, always diiectiug it-elf to (he nearest outlet and seeking 1 1 u? lowest level. Water is hard to eonline and ea-y to releas-', and vet, through sheet neolecl of the simplest principle- of drainage, water i- the most active do Mincer of our country reads. Ju providing for the drainage of a dirt road wo should lir-t consider the material of which the roadway is composed. If a heavy, vi-eotn clay predominates, the ordinary sidi ilitehcs should bo of good depth, and will even then, in many ca es, be iu adeqila e for thorough drainage with out iht- addition of a centre-drain run ning midw ay bet w. en, and par illel with, tin side-diteiics. The rent re drain should of course be tilled with looso irregular boulders, cobble stones, broken brick-, or similar fill ing, covering a line of tiles or fa-cines at the bottom, ami should be c iillieetcd With tho side-ditches by er.i-s-drains carrying the wale.- outward from the cetilre-drain at proper inteiva's along the length of the roadway. Centre drains, though often greally needed for the improvement of e.itiir.ry roads, are not in e 011111011 use. They add somewhat t') the cn-t of the 1 mid Way, but, in most case, considerably more to its value, and -I. a'd be em ployed in all .situations where sand or gravel cannot be h id to relieve the heavines-s and water-lnddin pivp-i--lies of the c'ay. If gravel, sand, or other porou material can l con veniently or cheaply obtained, ihe centre and crms-draius may otten he di-pensed wild by mivng th gravel or sand in plentiful quantities with the clay roadway, so as ;o in-ure as nearly as possible a porous and -elf-draining surface layer, which -b uild not be le-s than ten inches in depth, and should be laid on the rounded or sloped sub-soil so as to in-uro eit-y drainage into ih - side-ditciie-. In locations when- ihe prevailing material is of a loose, sandy nature, the ditlie.dties ot drainum- are more easily overcome, and sidi'-ditehes, if found iieceasnry at all, may be made of moderate depth and left open.wi'd oul i 11 c u n i uir ri-ks and dang.-i s of travel that (rev iiiwh re tie- d-H per open ditches are use for draininc. heavier soils.
