“'e never did think very highly ' 'ng stones in If they have to be kept exposed, a pile in the middle oi the field, or from the fence will cause trouble and infinitely less dirt and annoyance than if a I piled ever so neatly in a fence corner The best plan as a rule is to get rid of them altogether by | filling up an unnecessary and un- { sightly hole. either on the farm or along the roadside In this coun- try, as a rule, it isn’t necessary to save the cobbles for any future use By the time they‘re needed, others will come to the surface and need to be disposed of As this is the season of the year for general road work, we might modestly advise pathmasters to be a little more esthetic than usual and see that the roads have a tasty appearance from fence to fence. The sides should be neat as well as the centre. If stones are in the way, get them out of sight if possible. As a last resort, if nothing better can be done, pile them up neatly in the fence cor- ners. For all the additional cost the raking of stones from the or- dinary driveway would be money well spent.
