SIMPLE FORM OF DRAG.
three two-inch holes in each slab, as
shown in drawing; connect the slabs,
facing the same direction, with three
| stakes or mounded three-by-threes
long enough to leave three feet of
space between the slabs after the con-
Meeting pieces have been driven into
the holes. Two or three Dlanks can
be nailed to these pieces, affOrding g
place for the driver to stand, and, at
the same time, strengthening the drag.
Use a chain or strong rope for at
tachment to the doubletree. Suppos-
ing the drag to face west, and assum
ing that a chain is used, fasten one
end of the chain to or around the left
hand outside connecting brace, let
ting the chain pass over the top Of
the slab. If attached to the face of
the slab near the left-hand end, the
| chain would interfere with the move
ment of dirt toward that end OF the
drag. The drag is run at an angle OF
about As degrees, SO that dirt can be
| thrown toward one side. The other
end of the chain must be fastened to
the face of the front slab neal where
the right-hand connecting piece comes
through, and not around the connect
ing piece as it is in the Illustration.
Shoe about three feet of the bottom
| edge (r%ight-hand side) of the front
slab with a piece of iron or steel of
the right length, about three inches
| wide and a half inch thick, with one
edge sharp or beveled. Put 1t on Sc
curely, letting the sharp edge project
about half an inch below the edges of
the slab. This shoe will enable the
drag better to shave the surface and
cut down the hard ridges which are
usually met with on roads that have
not been kept smooth. A good drag
will cost from almost nothing to $3.50,
depending on the material and con-
struction, and last five or ten years.
Anybody can make one.
Roads should be dragged ten or
II times a year. The time is after
each soaking rain, so that the drag
will form a smooth mud coat on the
| surface. When the frost is leaving
the ground is an excellent time; the
drag should be in use from then until
winter. The work does not interfere
with ordinary farming operations, as
when it is the right time to drag the
soil is too wet or the conditions un-
suited for many kinds of field work.
1t is difficult to invent a good excuse
for not dragging. Used at the right
time and with proper frequency on
! practically all types of corn belt soils
and those Of the clayey or rolling
sections, the drag will make roads
smooth, hard and convex-the three
fundamental characteristics of an
ideal dirt road. The process will

form q sort Of shell or casing over the
surface which will shed water like .
roof, and by distributing travel over
the entire area instead Of combining
1t to the center, the shell will con-
stantly increase in solidity. At the
outset, dragging cannot be done SO
rapidly as when the road has been
shaped up by several sweeps Of the
drag; after this preliminary work, the
job can be done in half the time
originally required. Any boy and
farm team can operate this drag.
If you don't want to attend to drag
ging your own part of the road, chip
in a trifie with others and hire some
neighbor who will do the work regu-
larly at the proper times. Don't be
disturbed if your road doesn't reach
perfection the first year. Keep ever
lastingly at it, and later or you will
be glad.

A Viscount's WAGER.

A marvellous story is being told in
Paris of a peer painters pilgrimage.
Ten years ago, according to the
story, VisCount Jacques de Gruart laid
a wager of $4,000 with some com
panions that he would make the tour
of the world on n foot, accompanied
by his fiancee, whom he was to mar
ry on the day of bis departure, HIS
band and wife subsisting exclusively
the whole time on the ~viscount's arm
ings as an amateur painter. There
was no stipulation as to time.
The pair have just reached Paris
on their return, after successfully ac-
complishing their undertaking and
winning their bet. They have .rav.
ersed Europe, America, Africa ard
Australia, living on nothing but the
meagr profits of the viscount's brush.

SOLVING THE GOOD

Try it for a year; get your neigh

This tells you how:

INFLUENCE OF
FEED ON MANURE
By Wallace z. Sherlock

The value of the manure voided by
the farmers animals depends more
upon the feed given those animals
than upon any other influence. The
more nutritious the feed the better
will be the manure, that is, the more
elements of fertility that manure will
contain. The manur from animals
fed bran and clover or alfalfa will
contain more fertility than the ma
nure voided by animals compelled to
exist upon musty straw and rotten
corn. Or a diet Of oil cake, clover and
oats chop will make a more valuable
manure than one of corn and wheat
straw.
Basing the value of feeds upon the
market price of nitrogen, phosphorus
and potash contained in those feeds,
we can arrive at something a the
manurial value of those feeds. EN-
periments show that cotton seed meal
has a manurial value of $26 per ton
linseed meal, about 500 per ton; glu-
ten meal, SIS; wheat bran, a little
owe $12; wheat, $3.50; red clover hay,
$3.50; oats, $3.50; corr meal, $3.50;
timothy hay, $3.50; straw, 81 cents to
$2.18; corn silage, S1.24. BY the
above figures we mean that the feed
may be worth it's full market value
as a feed, and in addition is worth the
amount stated as a producer.
OF course these figures apply only
when the feed is fed to animals that
have their growth and when the ma
nure is applied to the soil before it
has lost any of its fertility by leach
ing Or fermentation.
If the animal is full grown and is
not producing milk or wool 1t has been
found that it will void practically all
the fertilizing elements contained in
the feed. Hence the farmer who has
a worn out soil to build up can go
about it more i~ntelligently if he keeps
mature animals and feeds the feeds
which contain the most plant food.
Supposing the soil needs nitrogen
more than any other element, the
farmer should feed as much clover
hay and gluten feed as possible.
Glover hay contains $50 worth Of
nitrogen to every so cents worth of
phosphorus and $1.31 worth of potash.
Gluten meals manurial value is $14.50
per ton for nitrogen and only 80 cents
for phosphorus and five cents per ton
for potash.
If the farm needs phosphorus the
farmer should feed more bran and
cotton seed meal. Bran has $40
worth of phosphorus in every ton,
nearly half of the amount Of the
nitrogen. Cotton seed meal has $3.50
worth of phosphorus, however, it is
much richer in nitrogen than clover.
If potash is needed in preference
to other elements, then crimson clo-
YER hay and wheat straw should be
fed. Crimson clover hay contains l n
each ton 1925 worth of potash, near,
ly twice as much as there is in red
clover and bran. In wheat straw
more than a half of all the fertilizing
elements is potash.
Thus it can be seen that the farmer
in a great measure can control the
amount of plant food in the manure
produced in the farm. He should de-
eide what his soil needs and then
feed his animals upon the feed that
will place the most of the elements
needed in the manure
