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 pillow.
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.
Conditions are SO varied in different
localities, however, that it is quite i'm
possible to lay down specific rules.
Certain sections of a roadway will re-
quire more attention than others, be-
cause of steep grades, wet weather
springs, soil conditions, exposure to
sun and wind, washes, etc. There is
one condition, however, in which spe

This may be corrected by dragging the
earth towardsnthe center of the road
twice. and away from it once. 4,
There is no question as to the econ
omy of this road-making implement,
either in first cost or in operation. In
six. counties inc Kansas in 1906 the cost
of maintaining ordinary earth roads,
without the aid of the split-log drag,
averaged $42.50 mile. These figures
were furnished by Professor w. C.
Hoad, of the University of Kansas, who
secured them from official records of
the counties.
Some figures furnished by F. p. San
born and X. II. Ashton, General Man
ager of the Chicago and Northwestern
Railroad, have revealed the wonders
of this simple device. Mr. Sanborn
said the least expense per mile per
annum for split.log dragging was $1.50,
the greatest little over Sc, and the
average expense per mile for 5la miles
a little over SO. i have lived along
this road all my life and never in for
ty years have | seen it freer from
mud and dust, despite the fact that
during the season we have experienced
the extremes of weather conditions"
The testimony of Mr. Ashton is
lequally strong. Learning that town
|ship, in Iowa had been making an in
vestigation of the split-log drag and
had been experimenting with it for
year on % miles of highway. he sent
an agent to secure information. 1t
was reported that although the town
board had paid the cost of making the
drags and of hiring men to operate
them, the total expense for one year
averaged but $2.40 a mile, and the
roads We're reported to have been like
a race track the greater portion of
the year.

the same thing happened in the
medical world in the case Of DR..

skin specialist Of Chicago.
DR.. Dennis, in his own Office prac-
tice, discovered that pure vegetable
oil Of wintergreen, properly mixed
with other simple remedies was
practically a sure specific for Ecze-
ma, psoriasis, BARRIERS itch, salt
rheum, and other itching skin dis
eases. But the oil OF wintergreen
alone was found ineffective II
