ROADS.—FERN VERSUS MUD.
KO THE EDITOR. Sir, — In your paper are many complaints of bad roady. As much money is generally wasted every -winter in a new country, by carting light gravel on to mud, and making more mud of it, it may interest some of your readers to know, that for ro'uls that are badly cut up in wet weather there is nothing to beat fern, it is cheap and plentiful, takea as long to rot as a wire hurdle, and if the mud was ten feet deep, a layer of fera over it would enable you to drive along at your ease. — I am, &c, Pioneer. Cambridge. 14th July, 1880.
