pertinent; il has been used with
marvellous results; and it is up to
the farmers of Camas Prairie to
begin at their own door-yards to
initiate movements that will
count more in solving the good
roads question that anything that
has yet been done in that line,
here. Remember the idea is to
work the dirt continually towards
the center of the road. As the
road becomes higher in the center
and is dragged more and more, the
road becomes oval. hard and smooth
and will drain itself. The drag
can not of course be used where the
roads are rocky. Do not disturb
the center of the road with pillow
or scraper but just keep dragging.
II the drag lodges around in using,
it is because it is too heavily loaded.
The drag may be made out OF
planking, but the split log is best,
because it is more stiff. Drive
slowly. Old tire iron may be fast
ened onto the lower edges Of the
drag when it begins to wear too
much. The drag has been used in
Calf, Kansas and Texas on sand
roads that are kept moist by
sprinkling with crude oil and mix
ing clay with the sand. Drainage
must be looked after in the max
ing OF all roads other than those
made with the split log drag.
Roads made and worked thoroughly
by the later method until they be-
come oval, hard and smooth and on
the Macadam principal drain them
selves.
In mountainous districts cordu-

places; although where it is posi-

ten to fifteen thousand dollars for
road purposes; but with co-opera-
ton on the part Of all people
interested in doing the very best
we can to have good roads, the
commissioners will be able to keep
road expenditures within the pre-
sent bounds and our roads will i'm
