back slab Will be 10 inches nearer the
center of the roadway than the front
one. That gives what is known as
set back" The stakes, which are 80
inches long, will hold the slabs this
distance apart. When the stakes have
been firmly wedged into their sockets
brace about two inches thick and
four inches wide may be placed dag
onally to them at the ditch end of the
drag. A cleated board is placed be-
tween the slabs and across the stakes
for the driver to stand on.
By many it is deemed best to place
strip of iron along the lower face of
the front slab for a cutting blade and
to prevent the drag from wearing. The
drag may be fastened to the double
tree by means Of trace chain. The
chain should be wrapped around the
left-hand or rear stake and passed over
the front slab. Raising the chain at
this end of the slab permits the earth
to drift past the face of the drag. The
other end of the chain should be passed
through hole in the opposite end of
the front slab and held by pin passed
through the link.
For ordinary purposes, the hitch
should be so made that the unloaded
drag will follow the team at an angle
of about IS degrees. The team should
be driven with one horse on either side
of the right-hand wheel track or rut
the full length of the portion to be
dragged, and made to return in the
same manner over the other half of the
roadway. Such treatment will move
the earth toward the center of the
roadway and raise it gradually above
the surrounding level.
The best results have been obtained
by dragging roads once each way after
each heavy rain. In some cases, how
ever, one dragging every three or four
weeks has been found sufficient to
keep road in good condition.
When the soil is moist but not sticky
the drag does its best work. AS the
soil in field will bake if ploughed
wet, so the road will bake if the drag
is used on it when it is wet. If the
roadway is full of holes or badly rut-
ted, the drag should be used once when
the ground is soft and slushy. This
is particularly applicable before a cold
spell in winter, when it is possible to
so prepare the surface that it will
freeze smooth.
Not infrequently conditions are met
which may be overcome by slight
change in the manner of hitching.
Shortening the chain tends to lift the
front slab and make the cutting slight,
while longer hitch causes the front
slab to sink more deeply into the earth
and act on the principle of plow.
If a furrow of earth is to be moved,
the doubletree should be attached close
to the ditch end of the drag, and the
driver should stand with one foot on
the extreme forward end of the front
slab.

ADVOCATES USE OF KING ROAD
DRAG.

DRAG.
One of the latest publications issued
by the Office of public roads of the
United States department of agricul-
ture treats of the split-log drag, an
instrument which numerous expert
ments have conclusively shown to be
the greatest possible boon to keep
earth roads smooth and passable. Be-
cause of its simplicity, its efficiency
and its cheapness, both in construc-
ton and operation, it is destined to
come more and more into general use.
With the drag properly built and its
use well understood, the maintenance
of earth roads becomes simple and
inexpensive matter.
AT the present time there are ap-
proximately 1000, 900 miles of earth
roads in the United States. Some of
the most important of these roads will
eventually be improved with stone,
gravel and other materials. Many
others which are equally important
can not be so improved on account of
lack of funds or suitable materials,
while still others will not require
such treatment because Of the light
traffic to which they are subjected.
For these reasons the majority of
roads must be maintained as earth
roads many years to come. This must
be done by inexpensive methods, and
the split-log drag will be a powerful
aid if economy is the criterion de-
manded.
In the construction of this imple-
ment care should be taken to make
it SO light that one man can lift it
with ease, light drag responding
more readily TO various methods of
hitching than heavy one, as well as
to the shifting of the position of the
operator. The best material for a
split-log drag is a dry red cedar log,
though red elm and walnut are ex-
cellent, and boxelder, soft maple, or
even willow, are superior to oak, hick-
ory or ash. The log should be be-
tween and 10 feet long and
from 10 to IL inches in diameter a,
the butt end. 1t should be split
carefully as near the center as posi-
bic, and the heaviest and best slab
chosen for the front. In the front
slab, four inches from the end, which
is to drag in the middle of the road,
bore a two-inch hole, which is to re-
ceive cross-stake. AT distance oil
y inches from the other end of the
front slab locate the center for an
other cross stake. The hole for the
middle stake will be on a line con-
Meeting and halfway between the two.
Then place the back slab in position,
and from the end which is to drag in
the middle of the road measure &c
inches for the center of one cross
stake and six inches from the Other
end locate the center of the opposite
stake. The hole for the center stake
should be located halfway between the
two. All these holes should be care
fully bored perpendicular or at RICH,
angles to the face of the split log.
If these directions are followed i,
will be found that when the holes Of
the front and back slabs are brough,
opposite each other, one end of the

The Seattle exposition people propose
to make it unique affair by not asking
or accepting government aid.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1908-01-02

Sherry Fry, a young man Of about 30
years, who claims Creston as his home,
and brother of Hugh Fry, we'll known
to most Leon people, has recently
been appointed by the trustees Of the
American Academy in Rome, a benifi-
ciary of that institution. This means
that the young sculptor will receive a
three years course in that institution
without expense to himself. Mr.. Fry
has exhibited his work in the Salon of
Paris and has received the highest
praise from the great art critics. In
securing the appointment referred to
he has accomplished what few even
dream Of, and there is no doubt of his
accepting the honor. The executive
council of Iowa has been corresponding
with him in regard to the making of a
statue of Senator Harlan, to be placed
in the hall of fame at Washington.

Good farming, based on sound prin-
ciples Of science and practice, was
never more important or profitable
than now. The Homestead, an agricul-
tural and live stock paper published
every Thursday at Des Moines, Iowa, is
the best exponent of good farming.
The Homestead is edited by farmers
who live upon and operate their own
farms right here in the middle west, so
that their teachings are thoroughly
practical. It has departments devoted
to horticultural, poultry, sheep. dairy,
veterinary, laws affecting farmers, cur
rent events, house and home, Sunday
school lesson, editorial comment, live
farm gossip, ETC.; and it's contributors
include able and successful farmers and
experiment station experts through out
the west. Many farmers in this vicin-
ity are already subscribers for The
Homestead and all should be; as what
ever adds to the practical knowledge of
the farmer increases the value of land
and enhances the prosperity OF the
community. We take subscriptions
for this splendid farm paper at this
office; and, by special arrangement with
the publisher, can give you the low
subscription rate for it in connection
with The Leon Reporter Of $3.50 in
Guiding the Farm Gazette and The
Homemaker.

Gov. Cummins declares in formal
statement issued few days ago that
he will be candidate at the Repub-
lican primaries for United States sena-
tor to succeed Senator Allison. Incl
dentally he insists that Senator Dolli-
yer is incorrect in the declaration, that
he (Cummins) pledged himself in writ
ing as we'll as verbally at various times
when last candidate for governor not
to be candidate against Senator ALI
son. Governor Cummins insists that
when he said and wrote that he was
only a candidate for governor in 1906
there was no pledge that he might not
be candidate for United States sena-
tor.

AFTER THE HOLIDAYS.

"After the holidays" people start in
earnest on new year. The plans that
have been formulated begin to assume
definite shape and conclusion. Mer.
chants settle the policy of the coming
year. Farmers decide as to the work
for the approaching season and wheth-
er the new barn or house is to be ac-
complished this year or wait over until
next. Christmas week and the days
preceding it are middle ground between
the strictly business activities of the
busy seasons that follow and precede.
What are you going to do "after the
holidays" in your business clay
DOWN. Why? In this western coun-
try there is no apparent reason for men
to seek storm caves because a few
speculative weather prophets have pre-
dicted a cyclone. Crops are fairly
good. Prices of produce remain high.
Workmen are we'll employed. Demand
for everything needful and saleable is
good and people have the money to pay
for it. Your own bank account is the
best you have had in ten years. Why
grab sock and run to the cellar?
We have been going too fast and have
stopped to breathe at the top of the
hill. There is no reason in sight why
we should not continue quietly along
the more level paths Of prosperity.
Conditions are not essentially changed.
A bushel Of corn makes as much beef
and as many mouths are gaping for food.
We need just as much today as we did
three months ago. There is no over
production for everything is we'll sold
out.
After the holidays let's get busy
again, quietly, confidently busy. Let's
go on with the legimate business plans
we had scheduled. If there is any
good cause to do the clam act, close
tight down and roll dormant into the
mud, no one is able to see it. Start
things moving after the holidays.

PROGRESS.

There are no reasons why Iowa peo-
pie should not pay in advance for their
Iowa newspapers. They have the money
and payment would be no hardship. The
credit system, as relates to newspapers,
harks back to the time when Iowa peo-
pie were poor and money scarce. These
conditions no longer prevail. Iowa
people pay cash for their monthly mag
azines and their eastern daily and
weekly newspapers. This is the time
for revolution as regards the relation
between Iowa people and their papers.
Iowa papers have done more in the psst
year in upholding the name of the state
and in advocating Iowa interests than
in any former year. They are preparing
to do more in the same direction during
the year 1908. Every Iowa land owner,
in fact, every Iowa property holder,
ought to feel sufficiently grateful to
Iowa newspapers to pay his subscription
in advance, accompanied by kindly
letter Of appreciation. We must all
work together in support Of Iowa crops
and Iowa weather. We will have Cali
fornia sunshine and roses in the cam
paign on the other side. Neither sun
shine nor roses sustain life. Iowa corn,
cattle and hogs sustain life, and should
be sufficient to arouse Iowa patriotism
and Iowa pride. The postoffice depart
ment is lending hand toward putting
Iowa publications, along with the pub
locations Of all other states, on cash
basis. The new regulation says that if
a subscriber is indebted to a publisher
of daily paper for three months, the
use of the United States mail at the
pound rate must be denied. The post
office. department is anxious that the
mails shall not be abused by fake pub
locations with fake lists of subscribers.
Fair-minded men will endorse the
course of the department.-Des Moines
