end which runs through the hole in
the blade end Of the drag.
If small weeds are to be cut or
furrow of earth is to be moved, the
doubletree should be attached rather
close to the ditch end of the drag.
The drag will now move nearly ditch
end foremost, and the driver should
stand with one foot on the extreme
forward end of the front slab. This
will swing the drag back to the proper
angle and will cause the blade to pillow.
This hitch requires slow and careful
driving in order to prevent the drag
from tipping forward. Ii the blade
should pillow too deeply, as it may do
in a wet spot, the driver should shift
his weight toward the back slab.
If straw and weeds clog the blade,
they can usually be removed il the
driver shifts his weight to point as
far as possible from the ditch or blade
end. Similarly, if he steps quickly
away from the ditch end, the load OF
earth may be dropped into low place
or mudhole.
Some attention should be given to
the edge of the blade. In the begin
ming, the average eai th road requires
no steel plate on the drag, though the
drag will be better preserved it the
steel is applied at first. At the end
of a years work, if the dragging has
been faithfully done, steel plate
will be needed. If tie twist OF the
log is properly used, OF the three
cornered strip of wool is placed
under the blade as described, a flat
piece of steel will answer In case
the blade stands perpendicnlarly it
should be slightly cupped when 81 arp
ened.
Usually two horses are enough TO
pull drag over an ordinary earth
road. When four horses are used,
they should be hitched to the drag
by means of a four Sc evene'.
The team should be driven with one
horse on either side of the right-han
wheel track or rut the full length or

the portion to be dragged, and the
return made over the other half of
the roadway.
The object of such treatment is to
move earth toward the center of the
roadway and to raise it gradually
above the surrounding level. While
this is being accomplished, all mud
holes and ruts will be filed, into
which traffic will pack the fresh earth.
WHEN TO USE A DRAG.
The drag does the best work when
the soil is moist, but not sticky. The
earth then moves freely along the
faces of the slabs. If the roadway is
very badly rutted and full of holes, it
may be we'll to use the drag once
when the ground is slushy. This
treatment is particularly applicable
before a cold spell in winter when it
is possible to have a roadway freeze
smooth.

ARE YOURIHORSES READY?

This is a good time of the year to
critically look over your horse stock
and get them in the best possible con-
dition for the spring season OF hard
work. See that they are rounded out
with good hard flesh that will stay
and enable them to do their best
work.
Heal up any sore, remove blemishe
that would decrease their value or re-
duce their usefulness. Pay little
attention to any old strain, get the
ligaments strong by the mild stimulat-
ing action of some good liniment so
that the strained tendon or ligament
will be normal and strong for the
seasons work or pass critical eX-
animation. Should some of your
horse stock be for sale, or critical
buyer come along, you know the add
ed price and profit that a clean,
smooth horse will bring over one even
slightly blemished with a thickened
ankle, filed tendon, stocked leg, a
slight cap on the elbow or hook, or
little swelling on the shoulder, result
of some bruise from the harness and
hard work last fall.
Thick glands in the throat that in
terfere with the breathing should be
softened up and removed A little
running at the nose. a cold in the
head, should have attention. In fact,
any blemish, or out of condition
should be made right while you have
the time this quiet season OF the
wear. From such time and attention
you will secure good percentage OF
profit not only from an added in
crease in value of a horse that may be
sold few weeks hence, but also from
an increased service the horse is able
to render during the busy season.
The feet should be looked after.
Keep them perfectly level. If the
horses 90 barefoot level the feet up
occasionally with rasp file. II they
are shod, have the shoes removed
occasionally so as to keep the feet to
a proper length and level, in this way
avoiding strain on the joint or llga-
ments. Many horses are made lame,
and get strained, due to the foot be-
ing out of true, or the toe being so
long that it gives them added lever
age, so it is important that the feet
should be kept in normal good grow
ing condition.
II your SIMPLE home remedies are
not altogether satisfactory to remove
the blemishes or improve the con-
ditlons, by consulting the advertising
columns of this paper, you will find
a number of firms advertising various
reliable preparations, any one OF
which will be pleased to forward you

CONSTRUCTION AND USE OF THE
SPLIT-L0G DRAG.
Continued from page l

this wind is not more than four in
ches in eight feet, the timber can be
used to good advantage by setting 1T
so that the blade end of the log shall
slant forward when the other end is
perpendicular. The construction OF
the drag in this case is the same as
given above, but care must be taken
that The holes bored to receive the
stakes are plumb. No wedging under
the lower edge of the blade is neces-
sary in using such log.
Drags are often constructed OF
planks instead of logs There is moth
ing in the construction of a plank
drag that calls for particular mention
except the strengthening of the planks
along their middle line by a two by
six inch strip. A triangular strip
may be used under the lower edge of
the plade to give it the proper cut
ting slope.
HOW TO USE A DRAG.
The successful operation of drag
involves two principles, which when
| thoroughly understood and intelll-
gently applied, make road working
with this implement very simple.
The first concerns the length and
position of the hitch, while the second
deals with the position Of the driver
on the drag. Each influences the
other to large extent, and successful
manipulation of the drag is dependent
upon an understanding OF both of
them.
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 40 de-
grees. 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.
| Sometimes, however, conditions are
met with require special treatment,
and in a rolling country such con-
ditions are not infrequent. Often a
fat place several rods in length or a
seepy spot needs special attention.
The distance from the drag at which
the team is hitched affects the depth
of the cutting. Shortening the chain
tends to lift the front slab from the
ground; a longer hitch causes the
blade to cut more deeply. The length
of hitch may be regulated by lengthen-
ing and shortening the chain at the

HEAD A MASS OF PIMPLES

Hyattsville. Md.-"My little boy was
taken with an itching on the scalp.
There was an ashy place on his head
about the size Of q ten-cent piece, and
the hair was falling from this place
by the roots. In about ten days all
over his head ere these ashy spots
which looked like ringworm, but were
perous-ike. The itching and burning
made him scratch a great deal. His
head had gotten SC that 1t was Just a
mass Of mattery little pimples all
heaped on each other, and when I took
off his night-cap, the hair and flesh
came off at the same time. I really
thought he would lose his whole scalp.
He couldn't sleep for five weeks, II
would itch and burn until I thought
he would go into commissions.
II used different soaps and salves
to no satisfaction. Then I decided to
use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment.
Finally I noticed he began to sleep all
night. I used one cake Of Cuticura
Soap and one box Of Cuticura ONT
ment and he was entirely cured. He
has a better growth of hair now than
he had at first" (Signed) Mrs. Ida

BREWER PLEASED AT RESULT.
Will Continue to Probe Into Peniten'
tiary Affairs.

Jackson.-Gov. Brewer expressed him
self as well pleased with the net result
of the recent extra session of the leg
i%slature. Urged to grant a short inter
view touching upon the bills passed by
the lawmakers, and the joint resolution
of Representative Evans, concurred in
by the senate, providing for special leg
~islative committee to investigate all Of
the offices, officers and departments Of
the state government, except the peni-
tertiary department." leaving that to the
governor, inasmuch as he began probing
it Il few months ago, the governor said:
81 am very much gratitied that the
legislature has assembled, transacted the
business for which it was called in q
busincss-like manner, and adjourned
within a reasonable time.
"The action of the two houses in
adopting the Norwood resolution, as
amended by the house, is satisfactory
to me. | am very grateful for the ac'
ton of the legislature in adopting the
Evans resolution, expressing confidence
in me, and arming me with the power to
cope with the situation in the future. l
promise my best efforts, and | shall
continue to probe into the penitentiary
department with the sincere hope that
every person connected with it, or with
the sale or purchase of its products, will
be found guiltless of any wrong-doing,
and that | will ascertain that all of their
actions have been straight and proper.
81 have no disposition to 20 after any
particular person, but on the contrary,
the only disposition | have is to find out
the actual, naked truth. The electing
of II legislative committee to investigate
all other officers and departments will
not in the least hinder or hamper me in
what | am doing regarding the p%eniten-
tiary department. | can't possibly see
any harm the special committee would
do, hut on the contrary it may do q
great deal of good. The personnel of
the committee is excellent.
Il have insisted ever since | was in.
Quoted into office that all public officers
and institutions should be checked up
and investigated, from the governor
down, and no honest officer should object
to being probed. Any fellow who is
afraid of the probe needs probing often

The Tree SURGEON.

A new profession has recently come
into being. We refer to the profess
sion of operating on sick trees in or
der to save their life and beauty. This
is a much more serious problem than
It seems to be, offhand, and the vari-
Gus state and federal authorities are
spending a great deal of time and
money devising ways of preventing
and curing tree ills.
Private citizens and public officials
have long been awake to these prob
lens In the eastern states, but wide
spread interest in the west is Of more
recent manifestation. This is largely
due to the fact that practically all of
the diseases and pests which infest
our ornamental shade trees have first
shown themselves upon the eastern
coast. Nearly all have been imported
from foreign countries on nursery
stock, etc.
At the present time large areas In
the east are practically denuded OF
trees through the devastations Of the
Gypsy and Brown Tailed moths, San
Jose, Elm Tree and Oyster Shell scale,
chestnut bark diseases, and other SO.
rious pests. These pests are moving
steadily westward and every inch OF
their advance must be s~tubbornly con
tested II the trees are to be saved.
One Of the best and easiest ways
to help our trees combat these and
other ills, ID to prune them properly
&c as to conserve their strength. and
at the same time get the best posi-
BILE artistic results.
Most Of the readers of this column
have to consider trees which are al
ready planted, rather than newly
planted ones. Generally speaking
then, your trees should be pruned al
least once In two years and prefer
ably every year.
The tools to be used are a thin blad
ed pruning saw and a pair Of pruning
shears. Cut OF all suckers or watel
sprouts, close to the branch.

AUTO TAX VERDICT

MISSISSIPPI SUPREME COURT WILL

Auto OWENS Who Have Paid the Ta'

Jacksonville supreme court, through

wherein it was held that the act was void

MUST NOT Pr ~ POLITICS.
Such Was the Warning of Judge Henry
to Grad Jury.

Jackson.-At tn opening of the Grim
inal term of Hind county circuit court
Judge w. A. Hclry delivered II grand
jury charge that occupied one hour and
O stern wnrnirg to the jurors not to
play politics. Tn this subject he said:
AS sure as there is a God in heaven,
If | find that any member Of this grand
jury is playing politics, either for pro-
tccting a friend or furnishing an enemy,
I will discharge him in disgrace from
the body. md if there is u man ON the
panel who has any political purpose in
mind, l want him to get out of that box
> instantly"
No direct reference was made by Judge
Henry to the probe of state prison af-
fairs, but he was especially pointed in
his remarks on the crime of embezzle-
mcnt. On cocaine selling, Il crime on
the increase in Jackson for some time,
Judge Henry declared that the vendor of
this drug is even more depraved than
che negro who uses it. He gave IA graphic
description Of the horrible effects of CO.
%caine, and urged the jury to make u
rigid investigation.
Another phase of the charge was as.
sessments. He said that many banks
give in their assets at about threc-iourths
of book value, when the law requires the
assessment at full value that in such in.
stances the bankers who file assessments
and boards of supervisors who approve
them are equally guilty OF crime. Refer
encc was made to the numerous bank
failures during the past two years, and
the fact that a goodly number of bank
officials have been convicted or indicted
Of receiving deposits when they knew
their banks were iusolvcut, Judge Henry
was especially vigorous in referring t.
law cnforecmnt.
