bly, farther down hill than the In
take.
Where culverts are necessary have
them Of ample size, and II is equally
important to give the culvert sufficient
fall. A twelve inch culvert, twenty
four feet long with fall of four
inches, Is better than one twice the
size with fall of two inches. The
rapid flow through the culvert with
a greater fall will keep the culvert
clean. In one where the flow Is slug
gish, deposits will form and soon will
choke the flow. Be sure to leave am
Pile outlet so the water can move
freely after passing through the cul
vert.
In grading to make a fill do not al
low any weeds or sod to get into the
roadway. These will decay and make
all kinds of trouble. 1t is much bet
ter to keep them out in the first in
stance.
If, in making the fill, the material
must be moved six hundred feet or
less, it will be advantageous to do
this with scrapers-wheel type pre-
ferred. But If the material must be
moved more than that 1t will be
cheaper to put it upon wagons. Any
filling Of this nature should be made
early in the spring, preferably as soon
as the frost is out of the ground, so
it will have ample time to compact
and settle by the summer rains and
the traffic. BY proper handling dur
ing the summer season, fill sew
eral feet deep can be put In shape
for the road. A fill Of this kind should
be dragged with split log drag or
it's equivalent after rains in order to
keep the fills smooth and rounded so
the water will run off quickly. The
main thing is to prevent this fill from
becoming water soaked. II this is
done 1t will be thoroughly dried out
and in good condition before the win

FREED FROM SKIN DISEASE

Our boy was born in Toronto on
Oct. 13, 1908, and when three months
old a slight rash appeared on his
cheek. What appeared to be a wa
ter blister would form. When it
broke, matter would run out, starting
new blisters until his entire face,
head and shoulders were a mass Of
scabs and you could not see a par
ticle of clear skin. Other parts Of
his body were affected, but not to
such an extent We tried about every
advertised remedy without avail, in
deed some of them only added to his
suffering and one in particular, the
- Remedy, almost put the infant
into commissions. The family doctor
prescribed for him and told us to
battle the baby in buttermilk. This
did not do any good, so we took him
to a hospital. He was treated as an
out-patiept twice a week and he got
worse, If anything We then called
in another doctor and inside of a
week the boy was, to all appearances,
cured and the doctor said his work
was done. But the very next day it
broke out as bad as ever.
1--WE decided that it could not be
cured and must run it's course and so
we just kept his arms bandaged to
his side to prevent his tearing his
flesh. We left Toronto and shortly
after our arrival in Duluth, the Cuti-
cura Remedies were recommended.
We started using them in May, 1909,
and soon the cure was complete. You
would not think he was the same
child for Cuticura made his skin per-
>fectly clear and he is entirely free
from the skin disease There has
been no return this time. We still
