Where the wheel-track and the toot-path cease, the hay and wheat begin. And the thrift, moreover, re- fuses to line the road with mere shade trees when it is possible to provide fruit trees which produce both shade and fruit. The road is like a‘corridor in an orchard, with cherries or pears or apples on either hand. Straight away for seventeen miles on the wheel from Berlin to Potsdam through the royal pine forest, the road runs. There the Kaiser can shoot fifty deer of a morning. pat- iently driven before him by the for- wters. And there the forester kills a certain number most precisely and; methodically at most precise and methodical periods, with the result that you can find venison a common dish on German bills cl fare. And there the pine is nutured with a pre- cision and method that abide un- tampered with for centuries, so that the cones are sprouting where the logs were hewn last year. In Potsdam you dismount at the Palace Square, for no one my ride :over those historic stones and escape the policemnn's fine. 7. ' ‘ ~ THE GERMAN POLICE; ‘ r A good many Lindsay pee-pic heard Rev. J.

BUILDING A GOOD ROAD AND KEEPING IT IN REPAIR A New Yorker Wiles of Work Done In Monte cam, J. H. C. of Monroe county N.

Whether we are driving for pleasure or with a heavily loaded wagon, the benefit de- rived is so apparent that we recall with a shudder bygone experiences with mud, dust and “pitch-holes," especially when passing smootzhly ov- road formerly p’fisable only with half loads, and sometimes not at'ull in rainy weather.
