HOW DRAGGING IMPROVES A ROAD
From Good Roads Magazine New York;
a mile or two of road when the team
is already hitched to the drag that |
usually 20 through the outside gate
and work up and down the public road
in front of the farm when drag the
farm roads.
The longer l keep my drag and use
it on my roads the more | appreciate
it. Mine is of the red split log type.
l made it of a ten foot section of
twelve inch hickory log. split in the
middle. and on the front cutting edge
nailed some heavy sheet iron 1t works
about as well as the metal ones, some
of which see occasionally.
l don't think it took me two hours
to make my drag. though | did not
make il strictly according to the reg
ulation method as / have seen drags
illustrated in farm papers. All of those
seemed to have the two sections of log
put together by having three large
augur holes bored through them and
round wooden bars about two inches
in diameter put through to hold them
parallel and rigid
| did not have the large augur to
bore holes big enough for stout wood
en- bars. so | merely sawed down into
the upper edges of each half of the
log at three places and split out the
blocks, leaving place into which
could put a piece Of four inch scant-
ling. cut three pieces of Scantling
thirty-siX inches long and fitted them
into the cutout places and made them
fast by driving spikes six inches long
into them. The job seems to be as
solid as those made by boring holes
and putting the bars through. Some
people make their drags of plank. and
will not stand hard usage SO well as
the regular split log drag.
There is not, of course. so great need
of the drag in summer and fall as in
winter and spring. but it is a much
easier and pleasanter job to make it
then and, besides. if one drags his
roads a few times in summer and
gets them we'll graded up they will re-
main in good shape far better than if
left just as the summer hauling has
made them.
Moreover on many farms there are
wet places in the roads that cannot
well be worked to advantage in winter
and spring II these are graded up
and drained in the fall they will no
doubt stay good all the time.
There is another use ! have seen the
drag put to that on some farms will
come in very handy. Quite a good

A One Armed Pianist.

National Conservatory Of Music at

day on July %. Referring to the
event Vienna paper speaks of him as
unique figure in the musical world.

Raphael would have been a great paint
er even if he had no arms" says the
writer, we may certainly say that
Iichy was 4 great pianist. although he
had but one arm. He was fourteen
years old when he lost his right arm
on a hunting tour. but notwithstand-
ing this handicap he continued his
study of music and became so pro-
tcient as a performer that he played
with great skill the works Of Chopin
and other composers. In 1866 he made
his first appearance before the public
as a pianist and has since that time
played at hundreds Of concerts. always
for the benefit of some charitable insti-
tuition. He composed several operas
and in 1891 became the director Of the
Hungarian Opera at Budapest"

It is surprising how little care in washing new flannel lengthens it's life and preserves it's appearance. First of all. put the garment or piece of flannel into a large tub filled with cold water. rain water where obtainable. but otherwise with a little amonia added, The water must be cold; no other meth- cd will extract the sulphur winch is in all new flannels. Steep it for at least two hours. Have ready . tub of hot, not boiling. water. add little soap jelly tto much soap makes flannel shiny) and table spoonful of amonia. Put the fan nel into this and rub lightly with the hands. giving extra attention to the seams, gathers and tuck places. Wash again through warm water with a smaller quantity of soap jelly in it, and rinse in tepid water. Pass twice through the wringer, and hang out-of-doors. if possible. with the thickest and heaviest part uppermost. This pre- caution is necessary. otherwise the water drains into the yoke. collar or waistband and thickens those parts.

Suggestion for Amateur
 Photography.

Few things are more puzzling 10 the amateur photographer than to determine the length of time to give an interior exposure, says Woman's Home Companion for November. The following hints were given the writer by a skilful professional. and have enabled him to obtain some very fine negatives with no waste.
 First focus carefully with open lens. next put in your smallest stop, then cover your head with the dark cloth and look on the ground glass. You will probably see on- ly very dim view. or even only a spot of light if the room is dark. Note the exact time on your watch. and then cover your head up again and watch the ground glass until you can see the entire picture upon it even to the shadows. It will surprise the amateur to see the length of time it takes one to see the entire picture in this manner. but the eye gradually becomes ac- customed to the light and in one minute. as a rule one can distin- guish the entire picture. Then multiply the time by four and that will give you the time in minutes to make your exposure. For ex- ample. if your time was one and one half minutes. your exposure should be just four times one and one half, which equals six min- utes

BRIEF ARIZONA HISTORY
Interesting Account of First Visitors to Arizona Fray Marcos came
 in l539 from Mexico.

the sake of argument we will say that there are very few who know that Juan de la Asuncion and Pedro Nadal. to friars. were the first white men that entered this land. They came in l538, and very little is known of them. In l539 Fray Marcos of Mag and his negro com panion came here from Mexico and journeyed to the source of the San Pedro river.
 In the following year. l54O, Vas que2 Coronado visited the territory which was then wilderness. and sent two parties out on exlporation. They discovered the Hopi village and the Grand Canyon of the Colo rado. Meanwhile other parties ent from the settlement which Cor. onado established on the Sonora river and explored the region later known as Papaqueria (after the Papagoes) to the mouth of the Col orado river. Here they found let ters which were buried by Her nando de Alarcon, who commanded a joint expedition by water up the Colorado river for l35 miles.
 In 1883. Antonio de Espejo visited the Hopi villages in. the northern portion of the territory, and later came Juan de Onyate. the first governor and colonizer of New Mexico, in 1898 Onyate. in 1904 05. made a trip across the territory to the mouth of the Colorado river and back again.
 The first missions were estab. lished by Franciscans among the Hopis in the summer of 1929. which barring the killing of such of the missionaries by the Indians were successfully conducted until Aug ust, 1880. when. in general upris- ing of the Pueblos the missionaries were murdered This put a quietus upon christinizing the natives until in 1899 or l700 the Jueistis. espe cially. erected the missions of San Xavier del Bac and that of Guevavi in l732.
 The present church of San Xavier was begun in l783 and was finished In l797. In l752 a presidio was established at Tuhac but in l776 it was removed to a ranchera of about eighty families of Pima. PaDago and Sobaipuri Indians. known as San Augustin de Tucson. the pres ent Tucson. few miles northward. at which Spaniards settled after l763.
 The missions and their vistas led precarious existance after l750- 53. during which years the Pimas were at war against the Spaniards, killing several priests and plunder- ing the missions, including that of San Xavier. The Jesuits were ex- pelled in l767 and were followed by Franciscans. who rehabilitated the mission settlements and conducted explorations in unknown or forgot ten regions.
 For many years before and after the Apache tribes were at almost constant war with the more seden- tary Indians of the southern DOT tion of the territory raiding their settlements. killing the men and carrying off the women; nor did the white settlements fare better, notwithstanding the presence of white presidios.
 At the time of the conquest of New Mexico in l849 by General s. w. Kearney, Arizona formed a part of the territory. By the trea- ty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1S48 the section north of the Gila river was ceded by Mexico to the United
