DRAGGING ROADS.
Points Which Must Be Remembered
to Do Good Work.

The following points are to be borne
in mind in dragging road:
Make light drag, which is hauled
over the road at an angle so that a
small amount of earth is pushed to the
center of the road.
Drive the team at a walk
Ride on the drag; do not walk.
Begin at one side of the road, re-
turning on the opposite side
Drag the road as soon after every
rain as possible, but not when the
mud is in such a condition as to stick
to the drag.
Do not drag a dry road
Drag whenever possible at all sea-
sons of the year. If road is dragged
Immediately before a cold spell it will
freeze in a smooth condition
The width of Travelled way to be
maintained by the drag should be
from Is to 20 feet; first drag a little
more than the width of single wheel
track, then gradually increase until the
desired width is obtained.
Always drag a little earth toward
the center of the road until it is raised
from ten to twelve inches above the
edge of the Travelled way.
Remember that constant attention
is necessary to maintain an earth road
in its best condition-Wisconsin Geo
logical and Natural History Survey.

FARM NOTES.

Nail a leather strap to the side of
the wagon box to hold an ak and al
ways keep one there.
The best tools are the cheapest, the
best stock is the most profitable and
the highest fertilization and cultiva-
ton will bring the largest crops.
The meadows and pastures, as well
as the growing wheat, are often bene-
flied by rolling well in the spring aft
er the frost is out of the ground.
By cleaning up the farm you will in
crease its value, and when it is
cleaned and cleared it will cultivate
more easily and cheaply and give lar
ger returns.
When you have finished blowing
clean the dirt from your pillow and
grease all the wearing parts with axle
grease. Smear it on with a rag and
be sure to leave no spots untouched.

advertised remedies, but nothing gave

nected by small pipe. Wind or gaso-
line would work the pumps. He pre-
sents diagram of the idea.
Doubtless this would work quite
well, remarks Breeders Gazette. In
order to have a continuous flow of
water there should be two of these
reservoirs, and if above them there
was a separate reservoir for COM
pressed air, all the better, since the
windmill would not always operate.
The main difficulties are two: it is
costly to open large well and most
modern wells are drilled ones, and air
is not real easy thing to pump with
windmill, since slow motion is
very wasteful in operating an air
pump. AS matter of fact, a great
deal of thought and experiment has
been expended on this and similar
problems, and thus far little use
seems to have been made of the idea.

Lima Beans.

Lima beans need a long season. By
this the pole Lima is meant There
are bush Limas which grow more
quickly, but they are not productive
1t does not need many hills of pole
Limas to supply a family and the
beans are delicious. The yield which
may be obtained by good treatment
is surprising. They may be started
early in cold srame by planting on
inverted sods, but this is not always
a convenient way of doing The cold
frame is needed for other purposes
and it is expensive to provide one for
this use alone.

A farmer of Milton, Ind, thinks
that he has invented a novel and
superior form of compressed air water
service system. AS water in wells is
often found within slight distance
from the surface, from II to 30 feet,
he would dig the well of good size
and immense an alright reservoir
directly in the water. This would fill
by merely opening valve, and the
water he would force out by pumping
air into the reservoir. The air pump

FOUR ILL AND ONE DEAD
FROM DIPHTHERIA.
Unfortunate Condition Of Family
From Dread COntagiOn-Family
Unaware of Dangerous Nature Of
Disease Until One Child Is Near
Dcath-Four Others Quite Sick But
Not Dangerous and May Be Saved.

With one child dead from diphtherla
and four others now i'll the family OF
August Kupers has been sorely
stricken. They live near the German
hall north Of Pendletdn and it was
not Until yesterday afternoon that
they learned the nature of the dread
disease.
Yesterday the S-year-old son of Mr..
and Mrs. Kupers became dangerously
III and when DR.. COLE was summoned
to the place he discovered 1t was
dlphtheria. The boy was very low al
the time and was declared to be be-
yond the aid of medicine. He died
shortly afterwards.
The four other children now down
with the diphtheria are not as serious
and the doctor has hopes Of saving
them. The place has been placed un-
der quarantine by DR.. Cole.
The little boy who died yesterday
was buried in the German cemetery
this afternoon. Owing to the fact
that he died of contagious disease
no public funeral was held.
The diphtheria now prevailing IN
the Kupers family furnishes the only
cases recently reported. No addi-
tional CAGES have been reported from
Pendleton for nearly week and the
epidemic is believed to be about over
as far as the city Is concerned.

That there Is gross carelessness In
the manner in which mail is handled
in eastern oregon on o: r. & N.
trains is shown every week by Incl
dents which come to the notice OF the
East Oregonian, not only through
complaints from its own subscribers
in different parts OF the eastern Ore
gon section, but in reports from other
papers.
There is constant complaint about
mail carried by at Duncan, Meacham
and other Blue mountain stations and
subscribers to the Pendleton papers
are always complaining that papers
are not left by the train which car
ries the papers out of Pendleton.
Every effort is made by Pendleton
papers and the Pendleton postoffice
TO get papers in the mail promptly
and to see that they are sent out to
subscribers on the first train. But
Notwithstanding this care and caution
in the local postofflce, almost daily
complaints Of carelessness of railway
mail clerks reach this office.
The La Grande Observer says OF a
common cause of delayed mail at La
Grande postoffice:
Mail clerks on No 6 have habit
lately of carrying second-class mail
matter destined for La Grande, on
east. This happened again this morn
ing and Portland and other western
papers did not arrive in La Grande
until the train from the east hao
brought the delayed pouches in.
The clerks on the eastbound gener-
ally wake up about the time they
pass No. and manage to get in on
that train. This is not, however, al
ways the case, for the mail has in one
instance at least, been taken east and
not brought back until the evening
train Lethargy and oversight are no
doubt to blame for this state of -af-
