THE ROAD PROBLEM '

how pitifully

our province is to gain upon them. We have ‘seldom seen our country roads Vin worse condi- tiun. -In many places t'hey are actually dangerous. This has result- ed not. so much from the charact- er of the original work as from the subsequent neglect which allowed the roads made last year and the previous‘ year to be dug into holes As for those made this

ibeen learned from the past three Lyears is that in order to ‘have even passable roads they must be coll- stantly mended and remade. The split-log drag used at least once in two weeks or oftoner and after a days rain will keep newly made roads in good shape. How this can be done within t-ho ‘linllts of Olll‘ TGVEXHIC

is one of the ques-

jtions. in the old days of statute "labor lvlieu at a prescribed season of the year, gangs of twenty or thirty men worked under a capable overseer, each district vlelng with u neighbor as to which could make the ‘best road, our roads were in better condition than they have been at any time since. These days are over; ell-operation i-n road making has become a lost art part- ly through depopulatloil but largely because in these strenuous days men have not the time to devote to lt. No man today works cept at so much per hour.

animal life.

The tree‘: and plants of the for- est and garden In common with all vegetable life enjoy a more pro- longed period of rest yearly in the cold season. \Vllen the sun runs low along the southern horizon and the nights are long and dark

the deciduous trees cast their lcavcs and oven the evergreens (acase to grow. ‘ The sap that

coursed in spring and suiniili-r froiil root to loaf ceases to nlovc while root and irllnk null branch arc frozen in an icy death. Yet tho tree is not dead but living. As if it knew that there was never a winter yet that had not u spring behind it. So oven the trccs and flowers when they go to sleep iii the fall may be said to “rest lil lope.“

Returning to a contemplation of animal life and its mysteries, we have thn singular fact of hiberna- tion. This is u peculiar foriu of nlccp yearly recurring tn ccrtain species of animals in cold coun- tries. The boar llflll the frog in Canada afford familiar specimens. The bear having clothed himself with u thick coat of fut from lux- urious feeding during tbc slimmer and fall and having grown for himself a warm overcoat of thick fur, builds n sheltering don into which he cntcrs and gocs tn slur-p. There he rests from‘ his hunting and slaughtering of helpless uni- mal victims null from his feast of berries and fruits.

The bear appears to be dead but is only dormant. For month after month lie sleeps on ill the stillness of apparent ileatln. No food or drink passes into his mouth. In some mysterious fashion his body feeds on itself and supplies suffi- cient energy to keep tile heart and lilngs in action. Winter storms rage about the unconscious slot-per and the cold becomes intense, bllt he sleeps on and on until the more genial spring time arrives, then he emerges, thin and hungry to resume the cruel activities of bear life in tbc forest. The boar bail lost flesh in the process, lili- like the ordinary sleeper, but oth- erwise suffered no (lamage and got through the wiiltcr without uny laborious effort.

The freq, unlike the bear, is a" amphibious creature, but is also a hyber-nater. Ills manner of tak- ing his annual sleep. is also very different from that of bruin. The latter chooses a dry place for ills long winter sleep. Mr. Frog in- variably selects a wct one. Pro- bably this is because lu ills tad- pole youth he llflfl lived in the water and could not then live out of it. Be that as it lnay, when in the fall his home pond threatens to freeze over, Mr. Frog bethinks him of winter quarters and his long winter sleep. He does not migrate like the birds on weary wing to some far-off land of per- petual summer, but simply plunges down ker chug, to the bottom of the pond, with closed eyes, burios himself in the mild and goes to sleep.
