A few years ago a Missouri farmer

since that time. with the condition OF
the highway between his farm and the
neighboring village He studied the
situation and one day devised a rude
contrivance 20 smooth the rough places

the water.
IL was a simple affair, made OF a log
split into two equal parts. a few braces
between them. and n chain by which
the horses hauled the drag with him
upon IL. He tried IT after a rain when
the road was soft. and IL worked So
well that its fame and the fame OF the
improved road spread through the
neighborhood and thence far and wide.
That was the modest beginning, and
now the split log drag. which any
farmer or ~oad commissioner can make
