HOW DRAGGING IMPROVES ROAD
Il mile or two of road when the team
is already hitched to the drag that
usually go through the outside gate
and work up and down the public read
in front of the farm when drag the
farm roads.
The longer keep my drag and use
it on my roads the more appreciate
it. Mine is of the red split log type
| made it of ten foot section of a
twelve inch hickory log. split in the
middle. and on the front cutting edge
nailed some heavy sheet iron 1t works
about as well as the metal ones. some
Of which see. occasionally
|. ] don't think it took me two hours
to make my drag, though | did not
make il strictly according to the reg
utation method as have seen 6irags
illustrated in farm papers. All of those
seemed to have the two sections of hog
nu' Together by having three large
augur holes bored through them and
round wooden bars about two inches
in diameter put through 10 hold them
parallel and rigid.
did not have the large augUr to
bore holes big enough for stout wood
en bars. so merely sawed down into
he upper edges of each half OF the
los at three places and split out the
clocks, leaving d place into which |
could put a piece of four inch s;'ant-
ling. cut three pieces of scantling
thirty-six inches long and fitted them
into the cutout places and made them
fast by driving spikes six inches long
into them. The job seems to be as
solid as those made by boring holes
and putting the bars through. Some
| they do very well. but cost more and
| vii. not stand hard usage so we'll as
the regular split log drag.
There is not. of course. so great need
| Ut the drag in summer and fall as in
| winter and spring. but it is a much
easier and pieaSanter job to make it
| hen. and. besides. if one drags bis
| roads few times in summer and
| gets them we'll graded up they will re-
| main in good shape far better than if
| left just as the summer hauling has

| Moreover. OIL many farms there are
wet places in the reads that cannot
well be worked to advantage in winter
and spring. If these are graded up
and drained in the fall they will nc
doubt stay good all the time.
There is another use | have seen the
drag put to that on some farms will
come in very handy, Quite gooC
many cattle owners End it expedient
to pen up their cattle at night in sum
mer AS rule. no straw or other bed

manure remains on the ground and
dries out and on slopng ground is Of
