A Cement Walk
A good cement walk may be
made as follows :
Dig out your r.ath eight inches
deep. Fill in and tramp down
solid as possible four inches of
gravel, crushed stone or coal
cinders. The 'atter shculd be
used it possible, and may be had
at gas works or manufacturing
plauts. Moisten it only enough
to pack and be careful not to
make it too wet.
Then, while the cinders are
damp, take five parts clean,
coarse sand and very tine gravel
or crushed stone, mixed, about
equal quantities, t ) one part of
Portland cement Mix thorough
ly while dry and dampen it only
enough to work smoothly, like
very thick mortar. Mix only as
fast as it can he used, and spread
it quickly, throe inches deep, us
ing a wheelbarrow to carry it and
a shovel and hoe to spread it.
For finishing use equal parts
Portland cement anil ordinary
clean, sharp plastering sand.
Mix thoroughly while dry then
as fast as it can be usd add wa
ter and mix uutil it is like plaster
mortar. Dump it on the first
coat one inch thick, level the top
with the edge of a board, smooth
with a trowel, if ueccessary, and
when it begius to dry sprinkle
gently or spray it water, a little
occasionally, the first day, aud
within a week it will become as
hard as stone. All cement walks
are liable to be cracked by frost,
but that only slightly injures
them.
