High winds have made bad havoc with |
the beautiful snow since February dawn |
ed upon us. Road machines have had an |
abundance OF employment. The drifts In |
many instances are eight feet high. Sell |
dom are the roads in as bad condition as |
now, especially with so little snow in the |
fields. Heavy teaming has been at a |
stand still. Scarcely has horse and |
sleigh been able to travel many of the |
roads.
