WLLKs IN DooR YARDs.-A correspondent Of
the Ohio Cultivator makes inquiry of the edi-
tor what will make good door yard walks, and
objects to both brick and gravel. We suggest
that the screenings from mortar bed, used in
the same way that gravel is used, or placed in
a thin coating on top Of gravel, will certainly
Obviate this difficulty, and form walk as
smooth and as hard as brick. The lime that is
retained with the coarse sand and gravel that
are sereed out Of tho material for mortar, will
form cement that will effectually keep down
all vegetation, aud soOn become impervous to
water except, perhaps, in the breaking up Of
winter, when the frost is coming out Of the
ground and even then, walks made in this
way will not become as soft as those made Of
gravel,-- Clinton Republicans,
