business at slight cost He should
stand on the hone and guide II By
stepping from one end OF the hone TO
the other m the occasion requires, This
is very inexpensive and should be re-
peated after every big rain. though u
will never soften much after the nrst

stone, and you have a beaten track on
the crown OF the road, over which y
bicycle or an auto will roll ~ smoothly

which you can drive clean buggy m
hour after summer shower without
having to avoid mud holes. The only
other care needed on such road will
be to sprinkle a very little good gravel,

ter Of the beaten track occasionally,
according TO the amount Of wear ON
the road, and keep the cutters from

flows quickly into the cutters at ths
