any expense whatever. I attached
chain and put the clevis in link that
made the drag pull at an angle. l do
not always want it at the same angle,
az when moving new, soft dirt it must
be at greater angle than when just
smoothing the roads / can change the
angle some by my weight on the drag
while driving.
l plowed on each side of the road,
making back furrow, beginning al
most at the travelled track l put on
three horses and found it pulled them
hard enough, because the drag was
green and dirt soft. Anyone who has
not seen the drag work would be sur
prised to know how much dirt one
man can move. [ have seen three
men and eight horses and grader
costing $500 not moving any more
dirt than l can with one team and a
drag that cost one-half days work. l
worked half day on half mile of
road and laid it in pretty good cOndi-
ton. I then used the drag whenever
it was rough and rutty. l can go over
it once in 80 minutes and once is
usually enough.
When the road is once shaped up it
can be smOolhed over after rain be-
fore any work can be done in the field
and not a minutes time is lost so far
as farming is concerned, as the water
all runs off and the road dries quickly.
I find that the drag should be used
Immediately after a rain. My expert
ence is that it is best used soon after
a rain while the road is sloppy, or
wait until the top is dried, because
stiff mud will not slip from the drag
and makes it pull harder 1t does not
make very much of load for two
horses after a road is once in shape.
A fall of snow can be dragged out of
the road just as easily as the dirt can
be thrown to the middle SO that the
road does not become very muddy at
any time.
| have not actually spent as much
time keeping the road smooth as it
would take to work out my poll tax
and have done it all when l could not
work in the field. | also find the drag
useful on the farm. 1t is good thing
with which to drag down gopher hills
in the alfalfa fields and it is just as
cute in leveling a field for irrigation
much better than a harrow in either
case [ believe if | should make an
other drag I would use two by IL
oak plank 16 feet long, cut in two. 1t
would be easier made and have
straight edge. 1t is not necessary to
shoe it when first made, but after it
has been used a while it needs strip
of iron on the front log to make it
take hold.

EXPERIMENTING WILD OATS.

Wild oats is the worst weed we
have to contend with, writes Mime
sofa correspondent in the Farmer, SO
l thought 1 would write my experience
in Kidding myself of it. Three years
ago 1 rented farm which had large
amount of wild oats. I sowed corn
about the fifteenth of May, but as it
was a cold spring the corn did not
grow very fast, but the wild oats did,
and by the time the corn was ready
for cultivation the oats formed thick
mat. / plowed some of it under and
cultivated the best of the corn as well
as l could. The next year disked the
corn ground as soon as the frost was
out and let it lie until about the mid
die of May, when / plowed it good
and put it to corn again. That was
the last 1 saw of wild oats on that
piece of ground. think millet is just
as good or better than corn, as you
can SOW that as late as July.

A Baby Party.

In answer to the request for baby
party, | would suggest that you write
the invitations in the babys name, re-
questing him or her, as the case may
be. to bring mother and spend the
hours between three and five at the
address given. Have, if you can get
them. the ready to fill in" invitations
which are decorated with children and
baby faces and may be purchased by
the box at large stationers. Provide
high chair and a bib for each baby,
with a dainty rattle for a souvenir.
From the chandelier attach colored
balloons, such as are peddled about
the streets by balloon men. These
floating bits of color will amuse the
babies longer than any one article I
have ever encountered. When going
home time comes fasten balloon to
each go-cart For refreshments have
a bowl of milk and a tiny tumbler at
each place, pass graham and oatmeal
crackers and any other of the thous-
and one specially prepared waters for
babies.
For the mothers serve sandwiches,
coffee, chocolate. and, if you like, ice
cream. although it is not necessary.
If it is possible have several older
persons to assist you besides the
mothers. The centerpiece should be a
white frosted cake, with a wreath of
pink rose buds and one tall pink can
die, as l judge it is the baby's first
birthday You will find two hours is
a sufficiently long time for this party,
so from three to five are the best
hours hours for the young debutants
Of course, you must provide plenty
of simple toys, balls. clothes pins and
small rubber dolls will prove most ac-
ceptsble.

OLD CANNON CAN'T BE BROKEN.
Armament of Old Craft Was Made TO
Last.

A good story is being told at the
Mare Island navy yard concerning
San Francisco contractor who bought
all the old obsolete cannon which were
sold at the local yard some time ago.
The cannon were all of the smooth
bore kind, and in order that they
might be easily handled for shipment
to the city all sorts of schemes were
tried to endeavor to break them with
dynamite and blasting powder, but
they were unsuccessful.
An electric drill machine was even
set up at the yards and the cannon
were drilled full of holes in order to
weaken them for breaking open with
wedges, but this was also unsuccess-
full. The cannon were then taken
away and the last heard of them they
were corralled in the hills near Point
Richmond, where an effort was being
made to break them open with dyna-
mite again
The cannon which proved to be so
strong were among the armament Of
the war craft which sailed the seas
in 1912.

Best Ninlin Strinns.

The best strings for violins are of
italian make and are from the intes-
tines of spring lambs, killed in Sep
TENDER. The process of drying and
bleaching of the woods and strings by
the hot Italian sun, rather than by
the artificial method used in other
countries, accounts in a great meas
ure for the superior quality of both
materials. This intense heat was also
the reason for the slow distillation
of the oils used by the italian max
ers, which always remained at high
temperature, and the varnish slowly
soaking into the woods of the violins
beneath the heat of those Italian sum-
mers, produced, in part, the mellow
ness of tone that gives to a Cremona
instrument it's value, after lapse OF
200 or more years.-March Circle.

GHOSTS PLAY MANY FRANKS.

the town of Kirkwall, the capital OF
the county of Orkney, On Wednes-
day night, says the London Daily Mail,

Magnus cathedral to sound the curfew
at eight o'clock. This is an ancient
custom still observed in the burgh.
The bell had been tolled for less than
q minute, when, it is alleged. figure
suddenly appeared at the woman's
side, snatched her hands from the
rope and as mysteriously disappeared.
Another morning 20 trees which
a few years ago were planted in
front of the cathedral were found to
have been cut down. The night was
calm one, with brilliant moonlight.
and the trees were standing at one
O'Clock in the morning.
Hundreds of windows have an out
look on the spot, and many people who
were still astir at three o'clock in
the morning did not hear the slightest
sound outside. Yet an hour later
every tree had been destroyed. The
police are baff1ed.
