All gems of the finest quality, ire
spective of the part of the world from
which they come, are generally spoken
of as Oriental" because the supply of
precious stones came only from the
east for many centuries; and when

was at first assumed that the stones
were inferior. "Occidentap is the
term applied to inferior stones to this

USE OF THE SPLIT-LOG
DRAG ON EARTH ROADS
--===-=By D. WARD KNG--
EXPERT ON THE SPLIT LOG DRAG OFFICE OF PUBLIC ROADS
BY D. WARD KING :

Two mistakes are commonly made
In constructing drag. The first lies
In making 1t to heavy. 1t should be
so light that one man can easily lift
1t, Besides, light drag responds
more readily to various methods of
hitching and to the shifting of the
position and weight of the operator,
both of which are essential considera.
TONS A drag con be made heavier
at any time by proper Weighing.
The other mistake is in the use of
squared timbers, instead of those with
sharp edges, whereby the cutting eff
feet of sharp edges is lost and the
drag is permitted to glide over instead
Of to equalize the Irregularities In the
surface Of the road. These mistakes
are due partly to badly drawn illus
trations and plans of drags which
have occasionally appeared in news
papers and partly to the erroneous
idea that it is necessary that large
amount Of earth shall be moved at
one time.
A dry red cedar log is the best mate
The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1913-05-09

rial for drag. Red elm and walnut
when thoroughly dried are excellent,
and elder, soft maple, or even willow
are preferable to oak, hickory or
ash.
The log should be seven or eight
feet long and from ten to twelve
inches in diameter, and carefully split
down the middle. The heaviest and
best slab should be selected for the
front. At point on this front slab
four inches from the end that is to
be at the middle of the road locate
the center of the hole to receive a
cross stake, and 20 inches from the
other end of the front slab locate the
center for another cross stake. The
hole for the middle stake will lie on
line connecting and half way be-
tween the other two. See figure. The
back slab should row be placed in po-
sition behind the other. From the end
which is to be at the middle of the
road measure twenty inches for the
The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1913-05-09

dropped on the FROM slab, so that its
lower elge shall lie within an inch
Of the ground, while the other end
should rest in the angle between the
slab and the end stake.
A strip of iron about three and a
half feet long, three or four inches
wide and a quarter of an inch thick
may be used for the blade. This
should be attached to the front slab,
so that 1t will be half an inch below
the lower edge of the slab at the
ditch end, while the end of the iron
toward the middle of the road should
be flush with the edge Of the slab.
The bolts holding the blade in place
should have fiat heads and the holes
to receive them should be counter
sunk.
II the face of the log stands plumb
It is we'll to wedge out the lower edge
Of the blade with a three-cornered
strip of wood to give 1t a set like
the bit of plane,
An ordinary trace chain Is strong
enough to draw the implement,
For ordinary purposes the snatch
The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1913-05-09

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 As
degrees. 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. 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; longer hitch causes the
blade to cut more deeply.
If small weeds are TO be cut or a
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 more nearly
ditch end foremost, and the driver
should stand with one foot on the ex-
IRENE forward end Of the front slab.
This will swing the drag back to the
