bish on the roadside. Farmers clean out
their cellars and dump the rubbish on the
roadside. Our tired wives aud mot hers
ike to ride out, not for the exercise but
Tor the holy heavenly Influences that come
10 them through their senses, for hat
they see, what they feel. These New
England pictures that we get from The
big hways far surpsss the works OF art.
Keep clean the rosdsides.
Question. Would you adopt the same method
In keepiBg the bushes down as In Keeping the
highways In repair?
Answer. Certainly. 1t requires con
slant work. Ii you allow the bushes to
grow, you have a large Job to do some
TIME. There are also certain trees that
DO not add to the beauty of the road and
are doing great damage. These should be
cut DOWN. In some instances we got the
consent OF the owners aud cut down
maple trees because under those trees
there would almost always be mud hole
One word more: l see you have culverts
here, and want to advise you never to
build any more OF those old wooden eul-
yerts They are always out OF repair.
Build them OF stone. II you do not have
stone, build them OF glazed tile, such as is
used Tor sew erage purposes, beina sure to
nave u large enough. II Is about as cheap
way as you can make a sluice, and when
properly laid and protected, il Is perma-
nent. IL you lay them in clay, l would
advise going little deeper, perhaps six
inches, and filling in WITH sand or gravel.
Do not cement the joints, as in freezing
the ground moves "a iit.ls and 1t will
break. Put gravel around the sides aud
lamp 1t In, and cover with gravel or earth,
and then protect 1T in some way. Some
use tiat stones and some use old planks or
something OF that kind. II you cover 1t
one and one half feet deep with solid
earth, ii Is sure.
