and cause it to cut less deeply. while
longer one will have the opposite
effect. BY shifting his weight the
driver can cause the drag to drop a
part OF its load in low place or hole,
or by stepping off can prevent its re-
moving SO much earth from a depres-
sion.
Usually two horses will be suffi-
cieDt to haul the drag, although when
a great deal of work is to be accom-
piished four may be used by putting
On fOur-horse evener.
If the work is we'll done while the
dirt is damp very satisfactory results
can be obtained at low cost.
AT somewhat greater expense a
drag made entirely of metal can be
obtained from some of the manufac-
turers of road building machinery.

an eyebolt, as shown in the picture,
to the ditch or blade end of the drag.
The other end of the chain should
finish with grabhook for use in ad-
justing the length of the hitch after
the chain is passed around the cross
piece at the road end of the drag.
Commonly the drag should follow
the team at an angle of about forty
FIVE degrees with their line of travel,
to cause the dirt to move steadily
and freely along the faces of the
planks from the ditch toward the CEN
ter of the road. in every case the
angle at which the drag will travel
can be governed by the position of
the hitch, which is changed within
reasonable limits by lengthening or
shortening the chain, and by the posi-
ton of the driver on the drag. A very
little experience will enable anyone to
adjust these things satisfactorily. It
should be remembered that a very
short hitch will tend to raise the drag

suitable material at hand. A log IS
not necessary. o. perhaps not desir-
able for its construction. Choose four
pieces CO plank OF some strong wood,
such as elm or red fir. two inches
thick and eight feet long. Two of
them should be ten or twelve inches
in width, but the other two may be
narrower as shown in the picture,
since they are simply bOltnd to the
backs Of the wider planAs for rein

case, the drag can he put together
with round poles weGged into anger
holes as shown, or the crosspieces
may be set in with mortise and tenon
joints and kept tight by long bolts
reaching through the front and back
planks.
A piece Of iron about three and one
half feet long, three or four inches
wide, and one-fourth of an inch thick
should be used for blade. BY means
Of belts with fat. counter-su1k heads
this blade should be alta hed TO the
front plank n such a manner that it's
edge will project half inch below the
plank at the ditch end, while the end
of the iron toward the middle of the
road should be flush with the edge OF
the plank. If the face of the plank
stands plumb it will be well to wedge
out the bottom Of the iron with ;
wedged-shaped pieces of wood to give
the iron a set similar to that of a
plane bit.
A platform Of inch boards cleated
together, with cracks an inch wide
between the boards to prevent dirt
from collecting on top, is placed on
the cross-pieces Of the drag to furnish
a platform for the driver. This plat
form should rest upon the cross
pieces between the planks without be-
ing fastened to the drag. 1t is not
shown in the ILLUSTRATION.
Any chain having the strength of
trace chain may be used to draw the
drag and should be attached as shown
in the picture, but the proper position
for attaching the double-trees must
be determined by experiment and will
vary with the kind of work done. The
chain should be about nine feet long
for a drag Of the size shown in the
cut and should have the eye for the
clevis put in about three feet from the
end. The chain attaches by means Of

BREEDERS MUST BE ON GUARD
Several Cases of infectious Abortion
i'm Swine Repcrted

Cases have been reported from two
different breeders which suggest the
occasional appearance of infectious
abortion among swine in the North
west. Evidently it is quite rare, but
may easily spread if it exists, as sus-
pected. One man reports the pur-
chase at a certain fair, from an Iowa
breeder, of a fall yearling gilt. Tie
sow was bred. but lost her pigs after
about six weeks. She was bred again
and aborted again in a similar period.
About six of this mans older and bet
ter brood sows developed the same
trouble. He believed that the older
sows were infected from the boar
that had previously served the young
Iowa sow. The other breeder report
ed a somewhat similar experience.
This item is published with view to
putting breeders on their guard
against possible source of trouble.

NO EPIDEMIC FEARED

Two more cases of measles deVel-
oped today. This makes a total of
twelve cases of measles that has been
reported in the city. DR. T. Henry Da-
Wis, city health officer, stated today,
however. that there is no danger of
Richmond facing an epidemic Of meas
les. All the cases reported are in the
eastern section of the city. 1t is said
that the cases were contracted in an
east end church. DR. Davis stated that
measles is the most infectious of all
diseases but that every precaution had
been taken to prevent it's spread in
this city.
There are several cases of scarlet fe-
yer in the city. DR.. Davis stated that
this disease has almost been stamped
out and that four cases remain. He
said that it is probable that these cas-
es will be the last in the city as no
signs of the spread CT the disease had
been noted
Scarlet Fever Also.
Aside from measles and scarlet fe-
yer, the city is free from contagion.
The schools are examined regularly
for signs of contagious diseases. All
schools are reported as being in eX-
cellent condition.
Il am not worrying about the city
being up against an epidemic" stated
DR. Davis. and I believe that all cas-
es of measles in the city are now
closely guarded to prevent the posi-
bi1ity of a spread of the disease. There
are always several cases of contagion
in city of this size but this does not
mean that the city is in danger.
Most of the cases so far have devel-
oped at Starr school, the North Fiji
teenth street building.

TAKING CAMPUSTRY2
Two Bundy Hall Men Startle
Sedate Earlham.

The Earlham Hall girls were thrown
into a fever of excitement Monday
night about ten o'clock. One of them
happened to open her window and
look sout. A stifled giggle brought
two others to the window. Up and
down in front of the dormitory walked
a man and girl. Just as they passed
in front of the dorm" again re-
sounding smack was heard. Smother
ed giggles were again heard from the
window. But it was too good to keep
and soon every curtain was raised and
frizzly heads emerged. The dorm was
in an uproar. Miss Conrad, dean OF
the women hurried down after the ini-
quitous couple and they took to their
heels.
Mass meetings were held in each
hall to see who might be missing.
Girls, this is terrible" said the
president of the student council, al
though she was observed to laugh
when talking it over with another
coed. The excitement did not cool
down until after midnight and even
then there were groups of fair maids
trying to guess who it might be.
Not until yesterday did the truth
become known. At the Science Club
Frolic held that evening, John Cox
had dressed up as bride to demon
strate his art of cooking. After the
meeting he took a stroll with Lindley
Clark.

BAD BLOOD.

Is the cause of nine-tenths of the
ills with which the human body is
afflicted. The symptoms of which
range from the dreaded contagious
blood poison to the minutest erup
matism, catarrh, scrofula, eczema,
erysipelas, pimples, boils. ulcers, run
ming sores, inf1amed eyes, and enlarg-
ed glands, down to sick headache and
muddy or sallow complexion. The
prescription of DR.. Simpson, (the noted
blood specialist of Richmond, Ind
known as DR.. A. B. Simpsons Fege-
table Compound, is the most powerful
alternative, or blood purifier ever
known. Its reputation was firmly es-
tablished few years ago by curing
apparently hopeless cases, was certi-
fed by county and city officials and
widely noted by the press, since which
thousands have been relieved by its
use.
Good blood invariably means vigor-
Gus health and appetite, good diges-
ton, strength and a clear, healthful
complexion. This is assured to all
who try this remedy. Its remedial
effects are apparent with the first few
doses.
DR.. Simpsons Vegetable Compound
is purely vegetable, and is harmless
