WATERPROOF PATHS. 

 BARN AND CATTLE SH£D FLOORS. 



THOSE who would enjoy their Gardens during the 

 winter months should construct their walks of PORTLAND 

 CEMENT CONCRETE, which are formed thus:— Screen the 

 gravel of which the path is at present made from the loam which 

 is mixed with it, and to every part of clean gravel add one of sharp 

 river sand. To rive parts of such equal mixture add one of Port- 

 land Cement, and i ucorporate the whole well in the dry state before 

 applying the water. It may then be laid on 2 inches thick. Any 

 labourer can mix and spread it. No tool is required beyond the 

 sparif.and in 48 hours it becomes as hard as a rock. Vegetation 

 cannot grow through or upon it t and it resists the action of the 

 severest frost. It is neoeeaary, as water does not ak through it, 

 to give a tail from the middle of the path towards the sides. 



The same preparation makes first-rate paving for BARNS, 

 CATTLE-SHEDS, FARM-YAKDS, aud all other situations 

 1 where * clenn, hard bottom is a desideratum. May be laid in 

 winter equally well as in summer.

On Tuesday, April 24, one of the largest and 

 finest herds of Shout-horns in England, and there- 

 fore in the world, is to be distributed. During the 

 past few years it has been laboriously and expen- 

 sively collected, and now for reasons which are, we 

 presume, of no public interest .Mr. Strafford is to 

 scatter it. Mr. Tanqukhat has been known among 

 short-horn breeders for some years past as an 

 attendant and buyer at sales of well-bred stock, 

 and he has collected at Hendon, near London, a 

 herd of about 100 animals, whose prices will, we 

 doubt not, maintain the reputation of the short-horn 

 breed. Many of these are very nearly related to 

 the Kirkltavington blood, and thus (as appears in 

 the valuable letter which we publish to-day from 

 Mr. Wood) related to several of the best tribes into 

 which the breed is divided.
