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

The following points are to be borne
in mind in dragging road
Make a 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 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 tho
mud is in such condition as to stick
to the drag,
Do not drag a dry road.
Drag whenever possible at all sea
sons of the year. If a road is dragged
Immediately before cold spell 1t 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 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 1t 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

Few Americans there who are not fam
