FARMER KINGS DRAG
Missouri Split Log Drag Is
Described by The
Inventor

the good roads problem on country and
suburban highways, practically with.
out cost, was explained, before men,
bers Of the Commercial club this noon,
by D. Ward King. of Maitland, Mo.
Mr.. King described his little Mis-.
souri, split log drag the surprising
success Of which within the last nine
years has induced the Chicago Great
Western road to bring him to speak
upon the subject in st. Paul. A farm
or himself, Mr.. King has no interests
to serve save those of the farmers and
the general community. he has not
patented his contrivance; be has no
machinery to sell.
After President Hoffman of the club
had mentioned that the loss from bad
roads annually in this country was
supposed to be not less than 81, O0O,-
OOO OOO. President A. B. Stickney OF
the Great Western road, introduced
Mr.. King, said that most speakers
on good roads are accustomed to
suggets that farmers should spend
many thousands of dollars in msca-
dsmizing prairie roade. One road
''expert' had proposed that Mime
sofa farmers transport trap rock 500
or 900 miles for road material. But
the plan advocated by Mr.. King in.
volved no such absurd demand upon
the pockets of the taxpayer.
Speaking informally, Mr.. King es-
timated that, in rainy weather at
least, one-hslf Of all the roads in
states as advanced as Ohio. Pennsvl.
vania, New York and perhaps Mas
sachusetts, were nothing but mud
roads. The improvement of mud
roads, that is, of the so-cslled dirt
roads, was manifestly of much import
ance. He did not pretend to show
they could be made into perfect roads
he did not say they could be made
like macadamized roads. The maca.
damizing of country roads would re-.
main for many years a process too ex-
pensive for all but few Of the main
highways His method would cost al.
most nothing; and it would quickly
transform any country road. any dirt
road into good road if not perfect
road.
Mr.. King showed q small wooden
model of his drag. It resembled
short, heavy ladder with three rounds.
How he came to devise it he didn
exactly recall. But in the spring of
1896 he had made such drag from
split log. With team of horses he
had drawn the drag obliquely across a
road near his own farm, ard he had
kept that road in splendid condition
ever since. By dragging the read not
oftener than once month, he had
made race track of it. Whatever the
weather, he could always trot a horse
along the road or draw an ordinary
load with an ordinary team.
The use of the drag had gradually
extended until it's value had been re.
cognized in Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska,
Illinois and other states At >Des
Moines, it had been making roads
which, the public declared, were equal
to the asphalt streets
The drag ACCOMPLISHED three things:
1t made the road highest in the middle
and thus maintained good drainage;
it prevented the formation Of ruts by
distribution the traffic; 1t hardened
the earth until it became shovel. proof
and almost pick proof

feel that have made success of the
Herald. 1t is the widest read and
most extensively quoted country paper
in the state. It has advertised Sank
Centre and this vicinity as no other
paper ever published here, has
advertised it before. I have drawn on
my wide public experience and put in
my best thought and effort to make it
interesting and readable. now ask
my friends and patrons to assist me
in making it brighter ana better than
ever by remitting me their past SUBJ
scriptions and paying a year in
advance. Counting year in advance
there is over $500 due me on SUBJ
scription coming from more than 1, 500
different subscribers. It is a small
matter to each subscriber but the
aggregate is a matter of vital inn
portance to me.
l need this money badly. 1 do not
believe there is single subscriber
that cannot afford to pay two cents
week for the Herald. If there is
and ne will write or call and tell me SO
l will be glad to furnish the paper
gratis. A subscription to a country
newspaper is debt of honor because
they are SO small it would not pay to
force collection even if desired to do
so.
This is the first time have called
attention to this matter and do hope
the response will be prompt and
generous.
Very truly yours,

Hello! Is this the Sank Lake
Creamery Co.?
Yes.
VIXEN are you going to pay for
October butter?
We always pay the Goth o the
month: That is, we pay fo- October
butter the Goth of November.
How much are you going to pay per
pound for October butter?
Twenty-Five cents.
Well, why don't you pay oftener?
Because it takes until the Goth of
the following month for the returns
of the last shipment of the previous
month to reach here from New York,
and we do not know what price per
pound we can pay until all the re-
turns are in. If we were manutactur-
ing your butter for profit we would
make up our minds just how much
we were going to hold you up for as
soon as we received your cream, but
we return every cent to you less rum
ming expenses. Can you expect any
private concern to do this?
Where do you take your cream?
To cold storage.
What did they pay you for October
butter fat?
l received 10 cents for the first half
and 70 cents for the last half, making
an average of 1917 cents for the month.
Ha! ha! ha! And we will pay %
cents. Don't you think it would be
good interest ON your money to wait
until the Goth? We always have
money on hand and will advance you
as much as you can get at any center
location plant and give you the balance
the Goth of each month.
