ducks, gese, sand cranes and other

San Joaquin valley this year they
threaten to devastate til egrain fields

the %ranchers. Frank Edwards, one

COMMON ROAD DRAG
DOES effective WORK

In its simplest form the road drag
consists of an ordinary log split in
half and the two halves connected like
the uprights of a ladder by means of
cross sticks or rungs set i'm. The log
should be about seven or eight feet
in diameter, and from six to eight feet
in length. 1t is better to have il of
well-seasoned, hard, tough wood The
two semi-cylindrical halves Of the log
form the runners from 80 to SO inches
apart. The front runner is always
placed with the split surface Of the
wood facing forward, but the rear
runner sometimes has its rounded face
in front. This is done in order to in
crease the smearing action of the drag
as it passes over the surface of the
road.
The two runners are not placed di-
rectly behind each other, but are "off-
set" as it is called, from II to 16
inches. This is done because the drag
is drawn over the road at an angle
sufficient to make the runners free
themselves OF the material which they
scrape. The amount Of the angle or
skew depends. of course. upon the
condition of the road. BY offsetting
the runners, it is possible TO make
their ends follow approximately the
same line on the road, which they
would not do if they were set directly
behind each other and the drag drawn
at an angle with the road.
In order to provide standing room
for the man, it is usual to nail two
boards down upon the rungs parallel
to the runners Standing upon these
a skillful driver will bear his weight
in such way as to aid materially in
the successful operation of the drag.
The drag is drawn by a chain which
should be about eight feet long. This
can be fastened by eyebolts to each
end of the front runner or one end
of the chain can pass through hole
at the discharge end of the front run
ner, and the other end be looped over
the rung at the cutting end Of the

runner. IL is important that the hitch
ing link should be SO designed that its
position can be changed readily. II is
also desirable to provide a metal cut
ting edge for the front runner. This
can be made from strip Of iron or
steel, and old wagon tires have fire.
quently proved satisfactory
The cost Of such a drag varies from
$500 TO perhaps $1,000 or $1,000. This
practically insignificant outlay will Sc
cure an implement that will be OF
great service TO the community for at
least three or four years. This fact
cannot be overlooked. however. that
skill i'm the use of the drag is indis-
pensable.
The angle that the runners make
with the center line of the road, the
skew angle as it might be called, is an
important factor For example, if the
dragging is done to increase the
crown of the road, the drag should be
sufficiently skewed to discharge all
material as rapidly as it is collected
on the runners. on the other hand
the conditions may be such that it is
desirable to carry along this material
i'm order TO deposit it where there are
depressions in the roads surface. An
intelligent operator will soon learn
many ways Of controlling the action of
the drag. The length of the hitching
chain. the disposition Of the operators
weight the time when the dragging is
done, all these exert marked influ-
ence upon the results.
AS to the time for dragging, safe
rule TO follow is TO drag the road when
the material composing the surface
contains sufficient moisture to com
pact readily. but is not sufficiently wet
for traffic 10 produce mud.
Since the weather plays so import
ant "A part in the matter. it is not usu-
ally possible to arrange continuous

FARM and ORCHARD

Rub off suckers and watersprouts
while they are small, and so save
much pruning later.
Summer pruning of the peach is
worth trying. Shorten in vigorous
growth by pinching back to form lat
erals.
Pinch back raspberry canes as soon
as they reach a height of about thirty
inches, so that they will form laterals.

for fires i'm the grass. Perhaps fur
row around the orchard would be a
wise precaution.
Watch out for green aphis, especial
ly on young trees and grated tops.

forty are the only effective sprays for
the lice
who said the Red Astrachan would
not stand shipping? Try wrapping
hand picked summer fruit and pack
ing i'm small boxes for the fancy trade.
1t has been done very protitably by
some Grand Traverse men.
Get a home canning outfit and be
prepared to take care of the surplus
fruits. Perhaps you can make a hit
with jellies,-easiest thing i'm the
world to make from apples because
no peeling is required.

Orchard Work for July

Thin, thin, thin.
After the pit has hardened, the thin
ming of peach or plum becomes much
less valuable as an aid To the vitality
of the tree.
Keep the cultivators going until the
middle of the month. when vetch or
rye may be sown, preferably both.
Use hameless collars, also wrap rags
around the ends of whiiiietree i'm
working close TO tree trunks.
Cut out the raspberry canes as soon
as they have fruited This will direct
the energies Of the plants To the new
canes. which alone will bear any fruit
next year.
Now over the old strawberry bed
after fruiting, and set fire on windy
day, so as To clean up the diseased fol-
iage without hurting the crowns.
Thin apples, too, if not already
done. They will bear every year and
have larger, cleaner fruit because the
poorest are removed in thinning.
Trees that are so bending under a
load of fruit as to be in danger of
splitting should be thinned Of the
fruit rather than propped up with
crotched sticks.
Cut out flower stalks in rhubarb
bed.
Haul i'm earth around trees that

Feather eating is a very annoying
vice in hens and ducklings kept in
large numbers in close quarters. 1t
begins usually when the tender first
feathers are coming in-sometimes
during the moult-and once the taste
is acquired, ii is difficult to break the
birds Of the habit AS a preventive
measure, never give the birds all the
mash they can eat at one time, and
never leave them idle and confined.
Keep them slightly hungry and busy.
Give them well balanced ration that
should include green and animal food,
and keep them clean and free from
sometimes started by louise ridden
hen fairly tearing her feathers from
her back in an effort 10 give her relief
from her tormenters.
Sometimes lean meat well sprinkled
with salt and pepper stops the annoy
ance for a time. An English remedy
is sulphuret of lime. Lewis Wright
gives this as follows: Put three or
four Jumps of fresh burned lime. the
size of an egg into an iron pot. shake
the lime with boiling water. then stir
into ii about six ounces of flowers of
sulphur, add gradually two quarts of
boiling water, stirring all the time:
then boil gently for an hour or so,
pour off the clear liquid, which will be
a dark color. bottle and cork well. A
second boiling may he made with
fresh water, but the liquid will not be
so strong. A tablespoonful Of this
liquid TO every six hens put into the
mash, is the best way of giving it.
Given daily or twice week, it is stat
ed that this preparation will keep the
fowls plumage in good condition and
soon put a stop to feather eating. This
mixture must be kept away from the
dwelling house as the smell of the
liquid is most objectional and pene-
trGting.

Matching Chicks

Chicks Matched in April May and
the fore part of June give the best
results. Those Matched later than
this do not usually grow so well. ow-
ing to the warmer weather and the
lack of worms and of nice, juicy grass
and they do not have the time to
develop for early winter layers. If
they are Matched earlier than the first
OF April, il costs more to rear them;
and the eggs as a rule, are high in
price and less likely to be fertile.
They require warmer coops: and it al
so takes a great deal more time to look
after the little ones. There is danger
of the very early pullets moulting just
as winter sets in, thereby spelling all
prospects Of an early winter egg yield.
When they are Matched in April. May
and the first half of June everything
is in their favor. They thrive and
grow, and make much stronger and
better birds.

the eggs.
AS soon as the combs of the
cockerels make a fair showing ii is a
good plan to put them in yard
separate from the pullets. 1t will be
far better for the pullets. and one who
has not heretofore put in practice the
plan will find when he adopts it, that
