BETTER WINTER ROADS.
The Best Time to Do Good Work with
the Drag.

AS soon as summer is over and the
ground begins TO freeze the farmer
pulls the faithful road drag into the
barnyard, where 1t remains through
the entire winter unused Now, | be-
lieve IL farmers will slosely observe
conditions they will see that winter
road dragging will give us much bet
ter roads at the time they are usually
the worst, says M. A. Coverdell in
Farm and Fireside.
The surface of the ground thaws
many times during the winter season,
and when Ii begins to freeze again,
along some time in the afternoon or
evening, the little bumps OF dirt and
the clods are neither too sloppy nor
too hard, but just brittle enough TO
smooth down nicely. filling up the ruts
and low places. This Is the one and
only time during the day that you can
do gaad work with the drag, so keep
your eye on the thawing and freezing
process and govern your road drag
ging accordingly. With little fore-
sight and an hours judlcious drag
ging now and then there's no reason
why we cannot have better roads in
winter.
