How and When to
Use the Road Drag

of this movement is "From your own
front gate to your neighbours front
gate toward town." Keeping the roads
in condition so that church and school
privileges may be enjoyed, keeping
the boys in touch with certain
amount of social life so that they will
not want to leave the farm, and keep
ing the roads passable so that mar
kets can be reached with degree of
pleasure and the good markets taken
advantage of and all this road i'm
provement done at time when you
can do nothing else on account of the
wet.
| have been so overwhelmed with
questions that / have prepared the
following "catechism" as covering
with fair completeness. the main
working facts in the problem:
would it not be better to plow the
roads before dragging?"
No. Flowing gives soft founda-
ton. Flowing the roads is a relic of
the old dump scraper days.
"What would you do when there are
deep ruts in the road?"
Drag them. If you drag when the
surfaces is quite loose and soft you
will be surprised how soon the ruts
disappear.
SLOW do you get the dirt to the
middle of the road?"
BY hauling the drag slantwise with
the end that is toward the center of
. the, road little in the rear of the
other end.
Suppose the road is too narrow"
First drag the wheel tracks. After
a shallow furrow just outside of the
dragged part. Spread this over the
road with the drag. Only pillow one
furrow. You may pillow another after
the next rain. At each blowing you
widen the road bed two feet.
"How many horses do you use?"
Two generally. Three, if it is just
as handy. Itsla good place to break
colts.
"How do you drain the roadg"
If the earth is pushed toward the
middle of the road continually, the
road will drain itself.
Don't you grade up the road first ~
No. The grading is done with the
UrdS SIduudlly. ny no uoihS NV io""
is solid all the time and is built on a
solid foundation.
"What does it cost per year to drag
mile of road?"
1t depends, of course, on how many
times you must 20 over it. 1t is vari-
ously estimated at from one dollar to
three dollars per year.
| SLOW do you keep the drag from
lodging around sidewisc?"
BY not loading it too heavily. If a
drag lodges around the earth you are
moving, it is because it is overloaded.
"How do you regulate the drag SO
as to make it cut down bumps?"
The drag is regulated by stepping
from one end to the other on the rid
| ing board. The driver thus putting
I his weight where he desires.
'WiH the dragged road stand heavy
hauling?"
| A dragged road will stand heavy
hauling and more of it than an UNI
dragged road, but, of course, it will
not stand as much as a macadamized
road
as the drag good on any kind of a
road?"
Yes. 1t works equally well OH clay,
gumbo, sand OF gravel.
To this "catechism" l want to add
the following "Don'ts:"
Don't be afraid of dragging too
often. Don't try to get on with one
or two drags in district. Have one
in every neighborhood. Have at least
one drag to every ten men in your
corporation.
"Dont drive too fast
Don't walk; get on the drag ans
ride.
Don't try to drag a dry road. The
wetter the better on many roads.
