Watering TrOughs

0N peaceful, ree-shaded, back
country roads, away from the
rush of speeding traffic on
and cement, one occasion
ally finds a wooden watering trough
below fern and brush-covered bank
Each year they grow fewer. Half q
century ago, the hardwood-plank
drinking places were common
located at spots where the water from
a spring above could be readily pipeC
to trough by the side of the road
The trough was made of dried
hardwood planks and when filled
with water, the swelling made the
joints water tight. The water
came down through pump logs
or metal pipes, and the over
flow rippled over the lower end
and made a muddy stretch down
the side of the road. The trough
was lined with waving tendrils of
green moss; the bottom of the
trough was covered with ripples
of gray sediment. A boy on the
way TO District 8 School pressed
his face into the water and studied
the waving tendriIs and sediment
