CONDITION OF ROADWAY BEFORE USING
DRAG.
from Southern Good Roads Magazine.j
drag That lies in making it too
heavy 1t should be so light that one
man can easily lift it, Besides. light
drag responds more readily to various
methods Of hitching and to the shift
ing of the position and weight of the
operator. both of which are essential
considerations.
A dry red cedar log is the best ma
terial for the drag. Red elm and wal
nut when thoroughly dried are excel
lent. and box elder. soft maple and even
willow are preferred to oak. hickory or
ash
The log should be seven or eight
feet long and from ten to twelve
inches in diameter and carefully split
down the middle. The heaviest and
best slab should be selected for the
front. The two slabs should be held
thirty inches apart by the stakes. A
strip of iron about three and half
feet long. three or four inches wide
and one-fourth inch thick may be used
for the blade. This should be attach
ed to the front slab A platform of
inch boards. held together by three
cleats, should be placed on the stakes
between the slabs. An ordinary trace
chain is strong enough to draw the
implement. provided the clevis is not
fastened through link.
The successful operation of drag
involves two principles which. when
thoroughly understood and intelligent
ly applied. make road working with
this implement simple. The first con-
Germs the length and position of the
hitch. while the second deals with the
position of the driver on the drag. For
ordinary purposes the snatch link or
clevis should be fastened far enough
toward the blade end of the chain to
force the unloaded drag to follow the
team at an angle Of forty-five degrees.
This will cause the earth to move
along the face of the drag smoothly
and will give comparatively light draft
to the team. provided the driver rides
in the line of draft.
Usually two horses are enough to
pull drag over an ordinary earth
road. The team should be driven with
one horse on either side of the right

hand wheel track or rut the full length
of the portion to be dragged and the
return made over the other half of the
roadway.
The drag does the best work when
the soil is moist. but not sticky.
The advantages TO be gained from
the persistent use of road drag may
be summarized as follows:
F1rst.-The maintenance of a smooth.
serviceable earth road free from ruts
and mudhOles.
Second-Obtaining such a road sur
face with the expenditure of little
money and labor in comparison with
the money and labor required for 9TH
er methods.
Third. reduction Of mud in wet
weather and Of dust in dry weather.
There are also several minor bene-
fits gained from the use OF road drag
besides the great advantages which al
ways accrue from the formation Of i'm
proved highways. Of which may be
mentioned the Punishment Of weeds
and grass from the dragged portion OF
the road.

quantity of asphalt added and thor
oughly mixed until practically no sand
could be seen that was not thoroughly
coated and there were no Jumps, and
the completed mixture was ready to be
shoveled into the carts and hauled to

The temperature of the mixture aft
er reaching the road i'm the carts was
from $50 to $50 degrees F. 1t was
shOveled from the carts into place or
dumped upon a dumping board and
shoveled back into place. The best re-
suits were obtained when shoveled d.
rectly from the cart. Perhaps it was
because there was less cooling. One
man could do all the spreading. All
the coarser stones were carefully rak-
ed ahead into the bottom so as to re-
duce as far as possible the voids on
the surface. The most careful spread
ing was given, and ten ton roller fol-
lowed directly after the material was
spread.
To obtain the most perfect results
teaming should be kept off for period
which need not be longer than twenty
four hours after spreading, when the
rolling would be completed.

VALUE OF GOOD ROADS.
Increase Price Of Farm Lands Fifty
Dollars an Acre.

Increase Price Of Farm Lands Fifty
Dollars an Acre.
Mecklenburg county, N. c.. began to
build macadam roads thirty years ago,
using the direct taxation method of
raising funds. Today that county has
POS miles Of modern highways.
AS result Of these good roads farm
values have reached that point where
$50 an acre is regarded as the mini
mum price of such lands and SIS and
500 an acre the maximum. A few
years ago $50 was regarded as an ex-
ceedingly high price for an acre Of
Mecklenburg land Now there are
few-very few-farms in the county
that can be purchased for less than
$50, and no great number are for sale
at that price.
This is the experience Of every cOun-
ty that constructs improved roads. In
the face of such hard facts. why the
people of a mud ridden county hest
tate to acquire improved roads is
strange. Mecklenburg. as stated. has
been building roads for thirty years,
levying road tax.
Now the people are agitating for a
bond issue to carry the work on more
swiftly and at the same time to i'm
prove streets within the city of Char

USING ROLLER ON COAL TAR ROAD.
From Good Roads Magazine. New York. ]
for climatic reasons it is available to
treat the road with the idea of its last
ing only through one season water gas
tar is expected to prove valuable
dust layer. and any extension of its
use is thought to lie in this direction.
The value of coal tar in the preserva-
ton Of macadam roads and as a dust
preventive is proved by the fact that
in the majority of cases the life of a
treated road has been materially
heightened, and by applying tar the
complete rebuilding of many roads at
an enormous expense has been avoided.
A great drawback in the standard
izatiOn of tar treatment is the impos-
sibility of securing a uniform supply
Of coal tar. Coal tar is purely a by
product, and the processes by which
it is derived are never run with refer
ence to the quality of tar produced.

Similar to Asphalt Pavement. but Of

Revolution in highway construction
Is predicted by many road engineers.
but many others believe the successful
macadam method modified will be the
only innovation. In that event the tar
macadam method will surely be con
sidered. A properly tarred road is
similar to an asphalt pavement. but of
a more resilient character The stone
is all bound together by the tar into
smooth. firm surface. which can be
swept and washed in much the same
manner as an asphalt pavement.
The main agencies which cause de-
terioration of tarred or oiled surfaces
are heavy rain. frost and the decaying
organic matter which accumuates on
the surface of the road. So far as can
be determined, one kind of road with
stands the action of these agencies as
well as the other. Water gas tar is
used in connection with coal tar, but
not to any great extent by itself 1t
has greater power of penetration. and
less of it is required. but it is not so
lasting. 1t really is in class by itself
and occupies an intermediate position
between the temporary and the per-
