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 shouldplow too deeply, as
1t may do in a wet spot, the driver
should shift his weight toward the
back slab.
Some attention should be given to
the edge OF the blade. In the begin.
ming, the average earth road requires
no steel plate on the drag, though the
drag will be better preserved II the
steel is applied at first. At the end
OF a years work, II the dragging has
been faithfully done, a steel plate will
be needed. II the twist Of the log Is
properly used, or the three-cornered
strip Of wood is placed under the
blade, fiat piece of steel will answer.
In case the blade stands perpendicu.
larry 1t should be slightly cupped when
sharpened
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 face
Of the slabs. If the roadway is very
badly rutted and full OF holes, 1t 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 1t is possible to
have a roadway freeze smooth.

center Of the cross stake, and six in
ches from the other end locate the
center Of theoutside stake. Find the
center Of the middle hole as before.
When these holes are brought opposite
each other, one end Of the back slab
will lie sixteen inches nearer the CEN
ter Of the roadway than the front one,
giving what is known as "set back"
The holes should be two inches in
diameter. Care must be taken to hold
the auger plumb In boring these holes
in order that the stake shall fit 1t
properly. The hole to receive the for
ward end of the chain should be bored
at the same time.
The two slabs should be held thirty
inches apart by the stakes. Straight
grained timber should be selected for
the stakes, 30 that each stake shall fit
snugly into the two-lnch hole when
the two slabs are in the proper posi-
ton. The stakes should taper grad
ually toward the ends. There should
be no shoulder at the point where
the stakes enter the slab The stakes
should be fastened in place by wedges
only.
When the stakes have been placed
in position and tightly wedged, a
brace two inches thick and four inches
wide should be placed diagonally to
them at the ditch end, as shown in
the figure. The brace should be
