D.. WARD KING ON DRAGGING.
More Interest Being Taken As the
Farmers Become Converts To
The Automobile.

AS more farmers become converts
to the automobile and the work of
the good roads boosters become more
noticeable the. road drag comes
more and more into prominence. d.
Ward King, inventor of the famous
King road drag is one of the most
enthusiastic boosters for good roads
Ein the country and in a recent pam
phlet issued be answers some of the
questions that have poured into him
from all parts of the nation.
The following are some of the
questions and answers:
Would it not be better to pillow the
road before dragging?
No, blowing gives soft founda-
ton. Flowing the middle of road
is relic OF the old dump-scraper
days.
What do you do when there are
deep ruts in the road?
Drag them. If you drag when the
surface is quite loose and soft, you
will be surprised how soon the ruts
disappear.
How do you get the dirt to the
middle of the road?
BY hauling the drag slantwise
with the end that is toward the GEN.
ter of the road little to the rear
of the other end.
But suppose the road is too mar
row?
First drag the wheel tracks. At
ter three or four rains or wet spells,
pillow a shallow furrow just outside
the dragged part. Spread this over
the road with a drag. Only pillow
another furrow after the next rain.
At each blowing you widen the road
bed two feet.
How many horses do you use"
Two, generally; three if it is just
as handy; four when breaking colts
"a good solid team in the center and
colt on each side; two men en- he
drag-one to drive, the other TO con-
troll the colts.
How do you drain the road?
If the earth is pushed in the mid
die of the road continually, the road
will drain itself.
Why not make the drag out OF
plank?
You can and do good work. But
the split log is the best. The plank
drag is not so stiff.
Why not make the drag of heavy
sawed timber? y
Because the drags so made have

HOG SERUM PLANT.
State Institution Now Busy Prepar-.
ing Serum For Iowa Hog
Raisers.

Ames, Ia, Aug. An some sec
lions of the state the impression has
gained ground that hog cholera SER
UNI cannot be bought in Iowa eX-
cept from the new state plant at
Iowa State College. On the con-
trary, those who need serum at once
may buy it wherever they will as
long as the manufacturer sells a
tested product.
The temporary plant at Iowa State
college is practically doubling its :
production of serum every week..
More than 800 hogs are now on hand.
for the work. When the product al
ready made is fully tested the state
will be ready to fill orders to the ex-
tent of about 10000 to 100000
cubic centimeters week. That will
be in about three weeks. This
amount will be increased much more
when the permanent plant is COM
pleted, which will be probably in
August. AT the present time small
shipments are being made daily
from the serum first manufactured.
1t takes from forty-five days to
produce serum and test it. After
the hogs are procured for the work
they must be vaccinated. In about
ten days they are given an additions
al treatment and ten days later still
another. When about another ten
days have gone the hogs are ready
for gbleeding" to secure the serum.
That must then be tested, which re-
quires from fifteen to twenty days,
making--a-total-nf- from forty-five to
fifty days. = 81 : -

a tendency to slip over the. bumps
Don't you grade Up the road first?
No. The grading Is done with the
drag, gradually. By so doing the
road is solid all the tire and is builr
on a solid foundation.
What does it cost to drag mile
of road year?
The cost is variorsly estimated at
from one to three dollars.
How do you keep the drag from
lodging around sidewise?
BY not loading it too heavily. II
drag lodges around the earth you
are moving, it is because it is over.
loaded.
Will the dragged road stand
heavy hauling?
Yes and no. A dragged road will
stand more heavy hauling than an
undragged road, but not so much as
macadamized or well-kept grave
road.
Will drag help sandy road?
A sandy road is a very different
proposition from the black soil, clay
or gumbo. An entirely different
method must be adopted. Three
things may be done to.a sandy road
to make it better: First keep it wet;
second haul clay on to it; third
sprinkle it with crude Oil, as they
do in California and some parts OF
southern Kansas and Texas. The
drag will be beneficial in keeping the
sand road perfectly fiat so that il
will absorb moisture and keep it {
long time.

A Dogs Impression of Drunkard

A Dogs Impression OF Drunkard
In the July American Magazine,
Don Marquis writes a dog story en-
titled Dogs and Boys, in which the
dog tells as follows about his adven-
lures with a drunkard:
bill was the town drunkard, and
all of us dogs used to run and bark
at him when there were any humans
looking on. l never knew how we
got started at it, but it was <the fash.
ion. We didn't have anything
against old Bill either, but we let on
like we thought he was tough
character; that is, II anyone was
looking at us. If we ever met old
Bill towards the edge of town, where
no one could see US, we were always
friendly enough with him, too. Bill
liked dogs, and used to be always
trying to pet US, and knew just the
places where a dog liked to be scrat.
