Hot water bottles have the most I'M
comfortable knack of developing leaks
after a certain amount of wear and
tear. This is rather provoking, to say
the least, for usually such accidents
happen at the wrong time-late at
night when it is too late to go out and
buy a new one or when one goes away
from home and supplies are seldom
near at hand.
The next time your bottle shows this
leal1y tendency fill it with hot sand
Make the sand very hot by putting II
in the oven and then pour it in the bot
tie. This may leak, too, but you can
manage to hold the leaky side up OF
put 1t in such position that the sand
will not drop out. And to repay you
for your trouble the sand will keep hot
very much larger than the water.

verts built, bitches cut, roadbeds
crowned and steep grades eliminated.
And as we make roads we want to
use the drag as one Of the best means
of improving and maintaining them.
If you have given roadway along
your farm and it is thirty feet wide
through your best land, it is only Il
fraction less than an acre along your
forty acres and is perhaps yielding
you tenfold the greater profit of any
acre in the forty. You should be a
promoter of happiness and prosper
ity, not 'knocker."
In billy country we must be gov
erned by the topography. Try to cross
the high ridges in the lowest gaps
get a decent grade if you must zigzae
to do it.
The most essential feature of any
road is drainage. Without good drain
age it is impossible to maintain a
good road All other road work de-
ponds on this for success. Make your
road in such shape that 1t will shed
the water. The surfacing is the roof.
