WATERPROOF PATHS. 

 BARN AND CATTLE SHED FLOORS. 



THOSE who would enjoy their Gardens during the 

 winter months should construct their walks of PORTL Ar*^ 

 CEMENT CONCRETE, which are formed thus:— Screen ni« 

 gravel of which the path is at present made from the l° am f w JJlL 

 is mixed with it, and to every part of clean gravel add one o t sna i v 

 river Band. To five parts of such equal mixture add one 4 °\i? nre 

 land Cement, and incorporate the whole well in the dry state oenn 

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

 labourer can mix and spread it. No tool is required W°J|r t J on 

 spade, and in 48 hours it becomes as hard as a rock. \f&~* t j ie 

 cannot grow throngh or upon it, and it resists the **» otl '°\ it 

 severest frost. It is necessary, as water does not soak tnrou 

 to give a fall from the middle of the path towards the sld J? s / K \g f 

 The same preparation makes first-rate paving for BA - • 

 CATTLE-SHEDS, FARM-YARDS, and all other s ltuau u 

 where a clean, hard bottom is a desideratum. May be law 



winter equally well as in summer. «^-«*iis.
