KING ROAD DRh6.

Mr.. Harry P. Lincoln, superintendent
Of the Williamsport Div. P. r. r., is
much interested In the King road drag,
IS well as having an interest in the roads
of this section. He is son of the late
chas. Lincoln and nephew of Stephen
]. Reynolds and Is joint owner in a
large farm north Of Rising Sun. He
sends the following from the Snnbury
Daily:
I'm all sections Of the country are heard
nothing but words of praise for the work
being accomplished by the King split-log
drag, the extremely simple device which
Is putting earth roads in condition like
bonlevards," said Arthur S. Clay, engi-
neer in charge Of the work being done by
the State highway department in this
section.
Continuing he said: ''The drag has
been strongly recommended by the
United States department of agriculture
and by supervisors and farmers generally
It can be made and operated by any per-
son. Less than FIVE dollars will pay the
cost of construction and half hours use
of It after rain will keep dirt roads for a
distance of mile, in better condition
than most macadam roads.
"A road maintained by the drag is in
perfect condition. 1t has an excellent
crown and hard and smooth surface
which sheds the water readily. Ruts are
obliterated and mud holes are obliterated.
Supervisors have found that they can pay
farmers from 80 to so cents an hour to
operate the drags after each rain and
maintain q mile of dirt road to compare
with state road at cost estimated in a
government report at $r.5o to IS per
year per mile.
THE least expense per mile for drag
ging, he further states, twas about 81. so;
the greatest little over S.; the average
expense per mile for 55z miles little less
than S..
Here is an editorial comment in the
New Holland Clarion showing how the
work Of the drag is appreciated in that
community.
This Is the season of the year to use
the split-log drag on the dirt roads after
each rain. Wherever this device has
been given proper trial it has proved
its worth. Although last summer was a
very dry one, several farmers beyond
Katchel's smithshop, in West Earl town.
ship, used the drag upon q stretch of
about mile of dirt road. The effect has
been wonderful.
Each spring before this one this
stretch of road was deep, full of ruts,
chuckholes and mudpuddles. This spring
shortly after the snow disappeared, the
road was found high in the middle and
the water well drained of. The road
presented hard ground surface and 81
team could speed over it just like city
boulevard in summer time. That isn't
ell. It opened the eyes of the road mas
tiers Of the township and the farmers are
now paid thirty-fve cents an hour To-
work the drag. West Earl has made
rapid strides in road construction and
maintenance during the past few years.
Supervisors and those interested in good.
roads should take drive over the dirt
road from the Grofdale hotel to the
FaSmersville- Bareville road via Katchel's
sEnithshop."

HOnle.--

An ordinary polish for silverware IL

also serve excellently for polishing
plate glass and mirrors.
A few drops of alcohol rubbed on
the inside Of lamp chimneys will re.
move all trace of greasy smoke when
water alone is of no avail.
A neglected crate or one which has
been red hot should be rubbed over

To remove mildew wet the cloth in
soft water and then rub on plenty Of
soap and salt. Hang on the line In the
sun and air for day or two. This is
said to be an infallible recipe.
BY using a teaspoonful OF alum to a
quart Of water for starching calicoes
and ginghams the colors will keep

II the tuilleries had wanted us to visit

asked, turning to her embarrassed
daughter. The latter explained to her
mother that the tuilleries was pal
ace Of the French kings and that 1t
was filed with works Of art, like the
louvre. The mother thereupon re-
joined: "Speakin' Of works Of art,

that nobody this side Of the Atlantic

that she had heard her mother send to
