DRAGGING THE ROAD
A MISSOURI FARMERS DEVICE FOR
IMPROVING THE HIGHWAYS.

How ID. ward King Invented His
Road Drag-uighways Put In Ex-
celIent Condition and Maintained
at Small Cost by the plan.
Probably no invention for road inn
provement has been talked about and
written about as much as the King
road drag and 1t has aroused great
interest among the farmers through
out the country In the following
article from Farming will be found
some new and interesting facts about
this-pethod of Improving country high
ways ut small cost.
Ten years ago Missouri farmer
who had grown tired of wading through
a slough of despond' every spring
when the roads We're soft, and who had
seen his neighbors lose time, money
and patience when their wagons We're
hub deep in the mire or their horses
tugging and straining in their harness
to get a half load to market, decided
that there must be some remedy for
this condition. One day IN thinking it
over he made the astonishing discovery
that what made the roads muddy was
mud and that If the road was worked
into such shape that the water would
drain off instead of soaking into the
ground after every rain the roads
would cease to be muddy.
al. lao, 10
triyance out of an old wooden pump
stock that the frost had spoiled and an
oak post By means of three pieces of
fence board he nailed these together
so that they were held parallel to each
other. Then he made rough plank
platform on which to stand and by
means Of wire hitched his team to this
clumsy affair at such a point that it
would drag along over the road with
a slant of about forty-fve degrees.
He began with the road that ran in
front of his own farm. When it was
at its worst he drove up and down
from his own Sront gate to that of his
nearest neighbOr. Like huge masons
trowel smoothing off mortar, it scrap
ed along, cutting down the inequalities
and rough places and filling up the
wagon ruts. He kept at it, and, after
number of draggings, in place of the
fiat basin that had served as a water
course for every storm to settle in, he
had built up a road with crown and
surface that was smooth enough to
shed water like ducks back" In

PApER 80 HOUSEKEEPING.
with Little Thought II Could ne
NInle a anmrcc of Comfort.

with Little Thought IL Could he
Made "a source of Comfort.
Much Is said in criticism Of the tend
ency to live in paper bags so far as
food is concerned. Now, on the other
side It can be claimed justly that pa
per bags make housekeeping possible
where none could exist IL food could
not be bought in small quantities from
day to day or even meal TO meal.
Space is so contracted in city homes
that 1t is often wiser to let the items
of the dinner remain In the market
and grocery until nearly time to use
them. Buying in small amounts Is not
extravaganza, for there is less tempta-
tlon to waste.
BY giving thought TO II the house
keeping that is limited to half and
quarter pounds of supplies may yet
yield much comfort. Monotony and
lack of thought are the especial dan
ger 1t gets to be easier to live on
bread and tea and canned stuff than to
cook, but it need not be so. and these
faults are noticeable where there Is
opportunity for a broader system of
housekeeping.
"NIy husband has no appetite and is
tired of meat and potatoes" said a
woman with large kitchen and outfit
for cooking. "Why don't you cook him
couple of eggs in tomatoesT was my
reply, explaining the method of scoop
ing out the seeds from the tomatoes,
dropping raw egg in each, seasoning
and baking them. "This would give
him the elements in both meat and
vegetables, and if seasoned tastily
with salt and pepper it is most appe-
tizlng." "Oh, but it would be such a
lot of work" she exclaimed, shrinking
from doing anything out of her usual
rut, and my advice was lost. Yet in
what is termed paper bag housekeep-
ing another woman would have served
the tomato and eggs hot from chafing
dish or gas range in half an hour from
the time she brought them in from a
grocery, while the first housekeeper,
with her pantry and coal fire, would
plod along in the same dull repetition
of cookery. Lack of help in the house
has also made what is sometimes CIV
EN- the name of light housekeeping a
necessity, and in the present state of
things it is hard to see how this sort of
living can be eliminated or why it can
not be made a source of comfort.-Ex-

HOW TO USE A DRAG.
Some Points on Improving High
way by the King Method.

Some Points on Improving High
way by the King Method.
An Illinois highway commission has
King drag, which contains these in
structions for its manipulation:
Make u light drag, which is hauled
over the road at an angle so that a
small amount of earth is pushed to the
center of the road.
Drive the team at walk.
Ride on the drag; do not walk along
side.
Begin at one side of the road or
wheel track, returning up the opposite
side.
Drag the road as soon after every
rain as possible, but not when the mud
is in such condition as to stick to the
drag.
Do not drag a dry road.
Drag whenever possible at all sea
sons of the year If road is dragged
Immediately before a cold spell it will
freeze in smooth condition.
The width of Travelled way to be
maintained by the drag should be from
eighteen to twenty feet First drag a
little more than the width of single
wheel track, then gradually increase
until the desired width is observed.
Always drag little earth toward the
center of the road until it is raised
from ten to twelve inches above the
edges of the travelled way.
The amount of earth that the drag
will carry along can be very consider,
ably controlled by the driver, accord.
ingly as he stands near the cutting
end or away from it.
When the roads are first dragged
after very muddy spell the wagons
should drive, If possible, to one side
until the roadway has chance to
freeze or partially dry out.
The best results from dragging are
obtained only by repeated applications.
Remember that constant attention Is
necessary to maintain an earth road in
its best condition.

Ole Peterson, one of the most ardent
advocates of good roads in Minnesota,
is making strenuous effort to arouse
the people to support the proposed con-
stltutional amendment, to be voted on
in November empowering the state
legislature to make direct tax levy
for road purposes, says the Good
Roads Magazine. In discussing state
aid he recently said: you will find
that from 40 to 45 per cent of the tax
able property of the state is in city
and village property, and | think 1t no
more than just and proper that this
portion of wealth should be taxed in
connection with other property in the
state for the benefit of better country
roads. The citizens of rural districts
should be Thoroughly conversant with
these facts, in order that they may
fully realize the benefit of state aid
and that they may better appreciate
the Importance of the proposed amend
ment. If it is adopted the legislature
can levy one-fourth of mill, and that
quarter OF a mill will build some nice
stretches of highway"

The welded College Girl.

"How common it used to be when
college girl married to hear people
eXclaim, What pity they wasted Il
college education on herv" Il mar
ried college woman was saying the
other day. But 1 haven't heard il
lately so much, and maybe the idea
is slowly dying out. There was a
time when even the college graduate
herself fell that her home offered lit
tie scope for her requirements in chem
istry, sociology and so on. She knows
better now. Besides, not few mar
ried college women make considerable
money as result of their college train
ing. Many write, some are engaged as
professionals in charity work. some
teach in schools and colleges and 9th
ers assist their husbands in their pro
fessions. But the public and the col
lege graduates alike seem to have
walked up to the fact that the donles'
tic career IN itself offers wide scope
both for study and action"

CIGAR pust.

Here is a thing which all cigar
smokers might observe with profit
to themselves. Before lighting a
cigar bite off the end and, placing
the part to be lighted between youl
lips, blow through it. In this way
you get rid Of fine dust that accu-
mulates in a cigar when it is dry.
which is apt to inaame your vocal
chords and injure your voice. 1t is
valuable hint to yoealists, and
there are quite a number Of profes-
sional opera singers who never light
a cigar until they have blown ont
the dust. 10 the failure to do this
may be attributed in great part the
throat diseases with which steady
smokers are afflicted.

Fear For Safety of Colum-
bus Doctor.

Fears are entertained by Mr..
and Mrs. Frank G. Rochester that
their son, DR.. Boyd Rochester, now
on his way to Manila, may possi-
bly, have been a passenger on the
steamship Hong Kong Maru which
was in the path of the typhoons
which swept the coast of China.
The last word received from him
was a letter mailed at Honolulu
Aug. 81. saying he was about to
sail on the Hong Kong Maru for
Manila.
Regular ships making the trip
to Manila travel by way of China.
But once month the course is
changed and the transport goes by
way of Yokahoma, thence to Ma
Mia. In his letter Young Roches-
ter said he would not get to China
on his trip. This gives the par
ents some confidence that be prob
ably escaped the disaster near
China by going by way of Yoka-
homa,
Colonel j, Linn Rodgers, who
has Just returned from the far
East, feels certain there are sever
al ships having the name "Hong
Kong" with some other word at
taclled.
The Hong Kong Maru is due at
Manila today and word is expected
Immediately from the son. Mr..
Frank Rochester telegraphed to
the Pacific Mail Steamship COM
pany at San Francisco last night
to learn if the Hong Kong Maru
had been wrecked. He expects to
receive an answer this morning.
Ill fate seems to have pursued
DR.. Rochester, who is on his way
to practice his profession of medi-
cine in the Philippines. He was
a passenger on the transport Man
churia, which was recently strand
ed near Honolulu.
The Hong Kong Maru, the sec
ond boat to pass, took on board
loo passengers, who had been
stranded, and among these was
DIR. Rochester.
The Democrat-sentinel. [volume] (Logan, Ohio) 1906-1935, 1906-09-27

short, he simply demonstrated the
soundness of his major premise, 'If
can get rid of the mud the roads will
cease to be muddy" The device he
made he called "split log road drag"
The man who had by such simple
means worked such wonders with his
road is d. Ward King of Maitland
Mo.
Even after having perfected the road
drag the reason that it worked this
wonder was not entirely clear to its
inventor until he received inspiration
from observing hog wallow. He says:
zone day | noticed that water was
standing in one of these wallows long
after the ground all about it had be-
come dry. Probably l had many times
before observed this fact, but not until
now had 1t occurred to me to inquire
into its cause. Examining the edges of
the wallow, / was impressed with the
fact that 1t was almost as hard as a
piece of eerthenware. Clearly this was
because the wallowing of the hogs had
mixed or puddled' the earth and the
water together forming kind of ce-
ment which dried into hard and
practically waterproof surface"
The cost of making and operating
this drag is so small and the idea that
is embodied in it is so simple that the
wonder OF it Is that its application
has not already become universal
Roads can be worked up into an excel
lent condition and maintained at Il
cost of from S3 to $40 mile. The
dragging accomplishes a number of
useful things. The most important one
is that by giving 1t smooth surface
and a rounding shape it makes it pos
sible for the road to shed water in
stead OF absorbing it, Then, too, it
kills the weeds and takes out the
bumps at the sides of the culYerts. 1t
also destroys the old trail and thus
prevents deep ruts being formed. The
time to use the drag and the manner
OF Its use are important. Until road
has been worked into some sort of
shape the first dragging should be
done when II Is very wet or when II is
thawed on top during the early spring
After that the time to drag Is after a
ralnstOrm or wet spell when 1t begins
to dry out.
