30 PRACTICAL FORESTRY 
sprouting from stumps, is seldom pleasing in appear- 
ance. Open groves and glades here and there are 
pleasant. Bold cliffs and rocks should be left bare, 
and the forest should be cut from places which may 
command broad views or beautiful vistas. 
Roads and paths should be abundant, to make the 
scenery accessible. These roads should have slight 
grades, and should wind round rather than cross over 
hills, wherever possible. The trees should arch over 
the road, and vistas from the road over valleys of 
foliage should be as frequent as possible. The roads 
should be well-rounded and well-ditched along the 
sides. Dirt roads, in most countries, are excellent 
where the draimage is well arranged. The bridges 
should be rustic, and rubbish should be removed 
from the ponds, springs, and streams. Now and then 
an artificial pond might enliven the landscape. There 
should be no bare embankments along the roads, and 
wild flowers should be encouraged to grow by the 
wayside. The types of wild vegetation should be 
studied so that each community may have its full 
complement of members. Every kind of soil depend- 
ing upon exposure, elevation, and moisture conditions 
has its community of individuals. If one or more is, 
by accident, missing, the group may be enlivened by 
additions from neighboring communities. In short, 
a very shabby landscape may become a beautiful scene
