The Road Drug.

A wave OF enthusiasm for the road
drag Is running through the agricultural
press of the country. The drag has
lots of good Endorsements, and not the
least Is that OF Secretary Coburn OF
Kansas, who is out with n little press
bulletin on the subject. in which he
affrms that rough and muddy roads
cost the farmer more than his taxes.
Try it for a year. says Secretary Co

same. See how simple and inexpensive
It all IS.
Roads should be dragged ten or
twelve times a year. The time 10

drag will form a smooth mud coat on
the surface. Don't be disturbed II

The Manure Spreader.

Many farmers consider their manure
spreaders the most profitable machine
upon the farm. This may be putting
1t little strong. but there Is no Ques-
ton about their efficiency, On the
dairy farm manure is accommodating
twelve months in the year. The cows
usually spend portion of the time In
the barn every day. For this reason
the dairyman has more stuff to spread
on the farm than the wagon box"
farmer. This manure should be spread
as fast as 1t is produced. There are
some seasons when it can be spread
by hand only on the pasture Frequent
II the pasture needs it less than any
other field. With q spreader he can
put fine coat of manure on the other
fields. Manure spread by hand on the
meadow rakes up or clogs the hay
