IT Il also matter proven By OBJ
sefvation that this puddle earth when
compressed and dried becomes ex-
tremely hard. Now upon these two
facts, the imperviousness Of puddled
earth and its hardness when dried,
rests the theory of road dragging.
Now the objects Of dragging
should be we'll borne in mind. They
are: To smooth the surface of the
road when tits soft and muddy; to
move a small amount Of moist earth
to the center, and to maintain the
crown or the shape of the road.
''The drag is not an implement to
move large quantities of earth, nor
is this necessary or desirable, for the
proper maintenance ofan earth road.

will be noticed that the dish is prac-

condition is what the clay workers
call "puddled," and it was of this
kind of earth in this condition that
the aborgines made their clay pots.
1t has been worked and reworked by
the carriage wheels and horses hoofs
until nearly all the travelled portion
of sticky, muddy road is covered
with layer of this impervious pud-
died earth.
Gas usually found on most of the
roads this puddled earth is full of
holes and ruts that are filed with
water that cannot escape through the
impervious soil. AS long as the
water remains the soil cannot dry
out and the road is kept in an almost

Instructions For Dragging.

1.-THE following points are to be
borne in mind in dragging a road:
Drive the team at a walk.
"Ride on the drag; do not walk.
"Pegin at one side of the road, re-
turning on the opposite side.
Drag the road as soon after ev-
cry rain as possible, but not when
the mud is in such a condition as to
stick to the drag
do not drag dry road.
Drag whenever possible, at all
seasons of the year. If a road is
dragged Immediately after a cold
spell, it will freeze in smooth condi-
ton.
Railways drag a little earth to-
ward the center of the road, until it
is raised from ten to twelve inches
above the edge of the travelled high
way. rJ y
eff the drag cuts in too m1ch,
shorten the hitch.
1.-THE amount of earth that the
drag will carry along can be very
controlled by the driver,
according as he stands near the cut
ting edge or away from it.
"When the roads are first dragged
after a verv muddy spell the wagons
should drive if possible to one side
until the roadway has chance to
freeze or partly dry out.
"The best results from dragging
are obtained only by repeated appl-
Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1913-11-27

When the road drag Is properly
used Il spreads out the layer Of inn
pervious soil over the surface of tie
road, filing up the ruts and hollows
until a smooth surface Is secured.
As small amount of material is
always to be pushed to the center, a
slightly rounded effect will be given
to the road, which may be increased
or decreased as desired by subsequent
dragging. BY forcing the mud into
the hollows and ruts it is ev dent that
the water must go out, which it does
by running off to the side of the
road The drying out of the road is
thus much facilitated and it is made
Immediately firmer because the water
is squeezed out.
The effect of traffic over the road
tends to press down and thoroughly
compact each thin layer of puddled
earth which the drag spreads over
the surface every time it is used.
After the first few draggings wi |
be noticed that the road is becoming
constantly smoother and harder so
that the effect of a rain is scarcely
noticeable, the water running off
the surface, which is so smooth and
hard as to absorb but little of it.
Seldom does it occur to the user
of the split-log drag that there may
be abuses of the drag.
'The road when dragged when net
in proper condition is often harmed.
If too dry it is left rough. If too
wet the drag sticks in the mud. If
used too heavy it drags too much
dirt. But the greatest abuse is to
try to make it rival of macadam
road construction, which it cannot
be-" ~
