WATERPROOF PATHS. 

 BARN AND CATTLE SHED 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 five parts of such equaj, mixture add one of Port- 

 land Cement, and incorporate 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 

 spade, and in 48 hours it becomes as bard as a rock. Vegetation 

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

 severest frost. It is nee** as waterdoes not soak through it, 



to give a fall from the middle of the p>tth towards the sides. 



The same preparation mak*s first-rate paving for BARNS, 

 CATTLE-SHEDS, FARM-YARDS, and all other situations 

 where a clean, hard bottom is a desideratum. May be laid in 

 winter equally well as in summer.
