Favors Dragging Roads.
TRENTON, No, MAY 30, 1904.


EDITOR RBpoRTER:-I see in your
issue Of May 26, an article on good
roads by A. Biddison. Now | live in
Missouri and Ed HARDER, a Grundy
county noted attorney, owns the farm
across the road from mine, where he
keeds fine herd of 80 head of Hereford
cattle. Last year made road drag s
feet long out Of two 2x12 planks NOR
tised in pieces, making them 10 inches
apart, having two strips of iron inches
wide and ! inch thick, these were bolted
to the 2X12 letting them extend below
the plank Il inches, have a good rod to
hitch to, one little shorter SO the
drag will pull the dirt to the center of
the road. | have seen number of road
drags used but this is the best and
does the finest work of anything in this
part Of the country. By commencing in
the spring and going over the road after
every rain it is kept in fine condition,
does not weed up SO easily or get muddy
as the roads not worked and dries much
quicker. The fine turnouts from town
come out our way for their even
ing and Sunday drives. Now if Mr..
Biddison will come to Trenton we will
show him mile of good road. He must
bring an automobile or rubber tired
carriage drawn by pair Of thorough
breds, with the right kind of gears, as
he would be liable to arrest if he drove
pair of broncos and cheap Haydock
buggy. With regards to my old friends
in Decatur county, am
