Gorilla Kills Bulldoo.

A battle to the death between a go
rila and an English bulldog, in which
che gorilla was victorious, was fought
at New iberia, La, with almost the
entire male population Of the town as
spectators. Much money was wagered.
A pen twelve feet square and eight
feet high, with seats on all sides. was
arranged for the combat. The dog and
gorilla we're placed in the pen at mid
night. Two and a half minutes later
the dog was dead.
The dog leaped at the gorilla imme-
dlately after being placed in the pen.
The gorilla caught the dog just as
man catches a base ball, then bit
quickly through the dogs skull into
the brain, broke its back and tore it
to pieces.

There are very few periods Of the
year when the use Of the drag does
not benefit the road but it does the
best work when the soil is moist and
yet not too sticky. This is frequently
within a half days time after a rain.
When the earth is in this state il
works the best, and the effects of work
ing it are fully as beneficial as at any
other time. The Nebraska soils when
mixed with water and thoroughly
worked become remarkably tough and
imperviOus to rain, and if compacted
in this condition they become extreme
ly hard. This action of the soil in be-
coming so hard and smooth not only
helps to shed the water during a rain,
but also greatly retards the formation
of dust
So much has been written and said
pertaining to the great benefits from
the use Of the road drag that many
people beginning the use Of It become
uA9NouldEeu DtLuit tueY are We'll start
ed. They should not feel thus, as il
often takes a whole season for the
road to become properly puddled and
baked to withstand the rains and traf-
fic. After a road has been worked with
a drag only a short time it is not well
to expect it to stand up to heavy traf-
fic during a continued damp spell with
out being affected. However. it will
take far heavier traffic than most earth
roads receive TO more than scuff up
the surface. During the four years
that the writer has observed the road
shown in the illustrations only once
has it ever become So soft that teams

DIRT ROAD BEFORE DRAGGING.

rutty and soft. it is generally better to
go over the road twice and in some
places oftener.
The drag should be foored with
boards which are separated by open
spaces of sufficient width so that the
dirt which falls over will rattle
through, and yet they should be close
enough so that the driver can move
about upon the drag quite freely.
To insure the successful operation
of the drag it is necessary for the
driver to use careful judgment Some
times it is essential that the blade be
held down so that the drag will cut
roots and weeds. while at other times
the front edge should not bear too
heavily upon the surface, as it will
dig ont soft place which would be
better If left undisturbed This regu-
lation Of the cutting edge can be ac-
cOmplished by the driver moving back
and forth or to the right and left on
the drag.
If the road is to be crowned with
the drag it is often well to plow a
light furrow along the sides and work
this loosened dirt to the center. On
roads with heavy traffic the drag
should be used much oftener and with
more care than on roads with light
traffic.

the team is hitched affects the cutting

KING ROAD DRAG MADE OF PLANES.
out doubt the best implement for keep
ing roads in shape and in many in
stances is as efficient as any other i'm
plement in the construction Of earth
roads.
The King drag can be constructed
Of either a split log or a plank, but in
Nebraska the plank is much easier to
obtain than the log; hence this brief
description pertains to the CONSTRUCTION
from planks.
Select a good yellow pine, ash or oak
plank two inches thick, twelve inches
wide and fourteen feet long. Cut this
in two at an angle so that one edge
Of each piece is seven feet six inches
long and the other edge is six feet six
inches long. Spike to the back and
along the center of each of these
planks a two inch by six inch piece,
which re-enfOrces the plan. Bore the
holes for the cross stakes about TWEEN
ty-six inches apart and four inches
from each end with a two and one-half
inch auger, using care to keep the auger
perpendicular to the plank. The two
inch by four inch brace at the front
end should start from the middle of
the rear plank and drop to the bottom
part of the front plank The blade,
which IS generally made of stock cutter
steel. should be given the proper cut
ing slope by placing a wedge shaped
strip between it and the plank. One
end of the chain is fastened to a cross
stake, and the other passes through a
hole in the plank and is held in posi-
tiOn by means Of a pin.
The use Of the drag is more salts
factory if the road has first been
crowned with a blade grader. but
whenever this is not convenient and
the traffic is not too heavy the road
may be gradually brought to a crown
by means of the drag.
The surface of the average country
road should be covered in one round
with the drag. One horse should be
driven on the inside of the wheel
track and the other on the outside the
drag being set by means of the chain
so that it is running at an angle Of
rorty-fve degrees with the wheel track
and working the earth toward the
center of the road. In the spring,
when the roads are more likely to be
