The split Log Drag.
To keep a road smooth adm crowned
the best method is TO drag IL with O
road 0raE. A road drag is made easily
with two halves OF a log which has
been split The log SHOULD be ABOUT six
or eight inches in thickness and about
six or eight feet dong. The two halves
CT the log are set three feet apart with
the smooth faces forward and upright
They are then fastened together with
braces set in holes bored through the
log. A pair of horses may be used to
drag the road and are nitChed to q
chain fastened to the front half of the
log. the road CraE should move for
ward so that it slauts across the road
in such a way that a small amount Of
earth viii slide past the smooth face
Of the log toward the center Of the
road thus forming the crown The
edges of the logs will smooth out tle
rUts- The best way TO draE is e. begin
at the side ditch and go up ore side of
the road and then down the other.
Dragging the Road
In the next trip the drag should be
started little nearer the center and
the last trip over che road the drag
may work close TO the center itself
Small ridges Of earth VIII be thrown
in the horse track and smeared by the
round side of the log smoothly over the
road The Smcaring Of the earth by the
drag is called pudding" and it tends
to make the surface of the road smooth
and watertiEht after the sun comes out
The road Is always dragged after it has
rained and not when IL is dry 4 good
strong pair of horses with q well Quilt
drag can draE about three or four
miles Of road in a day, and It is the
best way TO maintain good roads. In
every county some farmer aIons each
four miles of road should own q draE
and drag the road when it rains. and
he would always find the rOad In good

After you have finished blowing up
your tire. drop a film of moisture on
the the valve outlet If this moisture
stays there, obviously the valve is
tight, but if il disappears there is a
leakage OF air In putting on the valve
cap, after it has been screwed tight,

there is any leak. If there is, then
the cap has pushed the plunger down.

A scrapinE noise, which may
vary in intensity. sometimes can be
traced to a valve spring which has
become defOrmed or misplaced and is
rubbing against the plate which en-
closes the valve mechanism. Generally
the noise is accompanied by improper
tunctiOning of the motor. Correction
requires either the fitting of a new
spring or the reshaping of the old
spring so that contact with the cover
