,,,... b.. NORTH DAKOTA HIGHWAYS
Ne Better Roads Can be Desired Thaa Tlese Made If E.rt1 VIA
They are Thoroughly Hard asa Dry ard Fr.sd BY Traffic.

~ tie crest prairie state Of North
Dakota has little or no material from
which to make roads but earth, the
great majority OF highways VIM
always b earth roads. The question
Of good roads In this state, therefore,
SINNERS down largely to Z considera-
ton Of what can be done to improve
and maintain our earth roads. Most
Of the soil types in the state lend
themselves very well to the building
Of good earth roads. In the Red river
valley, for example, nc better roads
can be desired than the earth roads
when they are thoroughly. hard and
dry and have been smoothed and
irmed down by trafac. In this con-
dition they stand up we'll under the
heaviest trafac and "a so well that
but little dust is created. AS soon as
those roads get wet, on the other
hand, they d~isintegrate very rapidly
and cut up into deep ruts which it
takes weeks and sometimes months Of
trafac to smoother out and overcome.
For this reason u roads are deplor-
ably bad q greater part of the year.
In view Of these considerations it
becomes an obvious necessity to keep
the roads crowned after q rain and
to smoother out the ruts after a rain.
For this purpose no better implement
has been devised than the King road
drag. This drag as originally made by
Its inventor was constructed from a
log seven or eight feet long and from

The Ridiculous "Hen Derby" Instl.
tuted by Sir John Astlsv.
1t is said that the crowning triumph

absurd contests, whose forte 1t was to
arrange races between animals which
nature apparently had made most I'M.
suitable for the purpose. wal the in.
sdtution Of the only races that ever
took place between chickens.
The story 10 that the idea came ~
Dir John during . visit to q friend who
Kept a large number Of hens. He no
tced how rapidly the chickens used &c
scurry to their mother when food was
thrown to her. This furnished the In.
genious Sir John with a clever action.
and at mess, he then being quartered
at Windsor, he accordingly unfolded
to his brother officers his plans for a
great chicken race.
he bought from a farmer a hen and
q brood of chickens. Each officer was
to choose a chicken and mark 1t with
q ribbon, sc thai" he could easily recog.
nize it. The chickens were to be placed
about fifty yards away from their
mother, and whichever of them reached
her first In answer to her cackle when
food was thrown to her was to be nd.
judged the winner.
And SO this ridiculous hen Derby"
came OF In the barracks at Windsor
and was witnessed by. nearly the whole
brigade Of guards. who travelled down
from London especially to see It.
The race was such a success that it
was arranged to repeat it the follow
ting week. 1t might possibly have be.
come n regular institution and a rae.
ing stable of chickens might have been
added to the attractions ut Windsor
had not Sir Johns chicken won on
each occasion with such ease as to
cause suspicion in the minds of his
competitors. Indeed, 1t was found. it
Is said. that in both Sir John had
selected a sturdy young cockerel who
was much too speedy for his sisters
When victory was a certainty for one
particular competitor the contest, of
course, lost interest, and so the chicken
races at Windsor came to a sudden
end.-New York Herald.

able timber from which to make the
drag in this locality, the figure illus
trates an equally ssrviceable drag
made from plankA.
The drag Is made from a 3 by IL
plank. preferably Of oak or some other
hard wood, cut In two at an angle 90
that the resulting pieces are 7.6
long on me edge and sc long on
the other. The two planks are placed
as shown In the figure and are rein
forced with q 2 by 6 spiked along
their middle as shown in the figure.
Holes r bored through the center
line Of the planks with a az inch
auger and braces two feet by six inch
es long inserted as shown. These
braces may be secured firmly in their
sockets by q wedge key similar to
that used In fastening a hammer or
* on its handle. The 2 by 4 brace
should be mortised into the middle Of
the rear plank and near the lower
edge Of the front plank. BY this
scheme the front plank is securely
braced at the point of greatest strain.
A removable platform, not shown in
the figure, should be laid across the
braces for the operator to stand on.
The platform should be made Of open
slatwork, with openings at least one
inch wide, 50 that dirt which may be
thrown ove onto the platform will
rattle through. The share Is merely
q fiat strip Of steel or iron fastened
to the front plank by counter-sunk
screws as shown in the figure. In
order to give the share more cutting
power a wedge-shaped strip may be
placed between its lower edge and the
plank or, better still, the share may be
taken to a blacksmith shop and it's
lower edge slightly curved or bent out

wrapped around the outward brace
stroke while the other passes through
q hole in the front plank. The length,

The drag can scarcely be used too
much nor too often, but the best time
to use it is after every rain of sui
fcient amount to traffic to cut
up the road. 1t should be used as soon
az possible and while the soil is still
moist. The drag will then squeeze
the water out Of the soil, leaving a
smooth layer Of puddled soil which
bakes hard when dry and becomes re
markedly retentive of moisture. Users
of the drag should not become dis

The best system for getting thu
roads dragged is to hire men and

calities where this has been tried the
yearly cost per mile ranges from $1.Bt
to IS with an average cost of s.. Thii

who have given it q fair trial and til
systematic and continuous use cannot
be too strongly urged upon those whs
really desire better roads. II eve

ORIGIN OF PUNCH is TRACED
English Brought the Drink from India
Humorous Mistake Made by
Sohleswig Magnates.

In Germany punch is the national
drink for the night of st. Sylvester.
when Germans finish the year by
drinking punch, usage observed even
by the kaiser himself. Punch is what
they drink when they have colds.
Moreover, we are told that the Eng
fish brought punch from India. Il
takes its name from panscha, San
scrit word for five, because such t.
the number Of the ingredients, arrak
or rum, tea, sugar, lemon and hot wa
ter. 1t was in 1896 that the English
first celebrated the New Year with
punch.
a contemporary relates an amusing
story in connection with punch. When
Frederick VII. came to Flensburg, in
Schleswig, he gave a banquet to the
notGbles Of the district After the
dessert he desired a court official 10
inquire how the guests had enjoyed
his hospitality. They hesitated to ex-
press an opinion, but at length one,
bolder than his fellows, resolved to
speak freely.
Everything was excellent save the
punch. The magnates Of Schleswig
had drunk for punch the warm water
charged with perfume which had been
placed before them for additions.
