The next trip the drag should be start
ed little nearer the middle. and the
last trip over the road the drag should
work close to the middle itself. Small
ridges of earth will be thrown in the
horse track and sneared by the round
side of the log smoothly over the road.
The smearing of the earth by the drag
is called pudding. and it tends to
make the surface smooth and hard
and turn off the water, especially after
the sun comes out and dries it thor
Ough1y The road is always dragged
after it has rainel and not when it Is
dry With Il good. strong pair OF
horses and Il well built drag one man
can drag about three or four miles OF
road day. This is the best possible
way to maintain good earth roads. In
every county some farmer along each
four miles of road should own drag
and drag the road when it rains. aud
he would find the road in good condi-
ton when he goes to market
The necessity for dragging the road
comes about from the fact that water
stays OH the road surface because it
cannot drain away into the side
bitches. If the road has been properly
dragged the water will run off the sur
face. Then If the bitches are properly
taken care of the water will drain
away and leave the roadway i'll splen-
did condition. The crown of the road
should be at least ten inches higher
than the outside. The rain as it falls
on a properly crowned road will run
quickly to the sides and not soak into
the surface.
The side bitches for surface water
should run parallel 20 the right OF
way and should be open 1T every low
| point, so that the water can run out of
them into neighboring brooks or
/ streams. If the bitches merely collect
the water from the road surface and
do not carry it away large pools will
be formed along the roadside. which
will generally soak into the soil be-
meath the road and make 1t so soft
that the wheels of the wagon will cut
through the surface and som destroy
i it. Consequently II is absolutely nee
] essary to have thorough drainage il
/ splendid earth roads are to be secured
In many places underdrainage by
means of tile is absolutely neeessary
for best results. The tile should be
. laid alon. the side of the road at least
two or three feet beneath the surface
of the ground

$18,0O0,OOO BUILDS
$50,O0O,0O0 ROADS
Savings Effected Through Cash Pur-
chases and County Aid.

California's state highway commits
sion has solved the problem of pro
viding Il $5o,O00O00 system with the
$1S.000,o00 it has, in the opinion of
Charles D. ~Blaney. a member of the
board.
This has been accomplished for the
most part, Blaney says, by paying cash
for materials at saving of from 20
to d per cent Crushed rock has been
bought for As cents ton as against
Sl.1O OIL time. and cement for from
S1.1S to S130 barrel rs against from
S1.9O to $40.
In this way. Blaney goes on to ex-
plain, lower bids are obtained from
contractors, for they do not have to tie
up from $4,000 to $4,000 in capital or
90 into debt for that amount.
Two million dollars is the estimated
saving through this method.
Another $7.00o,OO0 saving is estimat
ed in having towns and cities con-
struct their own portions of the high
ways and by getting counties to give
the rights Of way and build the
bridges.
A million more has been economized
by inducing the railroads to haul the
materials and machinery at half rates.
The railroads have been glad to make
this concession, Blaney says. because
they realize that good roads mean in
creased passenger and freight revenues
for them.

the contemplated 300 miles are to be

DEST Time FOR
ROAD DRAGGING
Is Directly After a Rain, Says
an Expert.
KEEPING A ROAD SMOOTH.
The Best Way to Drag Is to Begin at
the Side Ditch and Go Up One Side
Of the Highway and Then Down the
Other In Slanting Direction.

The best results from road dragging
come when the roads are dragged di
rectly after rain. says an expert in
the American Agriculturist. The sur
face of the road is leveled. the holes
and ruts are filled up and the earth is
puddled. 4 crust forms when the top
dries out. making the road much more
lasting than it would he if dragged at
any other time.
To keep ii road smooth and crowned
the best method is to drag with an
ordinary wood road drag. made easily
with two halves Of Il log which has
been split. This log should be about
six or eight inches in thickness and
six to eight feet long. The halves are
set three feet apart with the smooth
surfaces forward and upright They
are fastened together with braces set
in holes bored through the log.
If they are not heavy enough Il
board can be placed on top. and the
driver stands upon it. This will weight
it down sufficiently. In some cases it
has been found desirable to attach u
piece Of metal along the lower edge of
the forward piece of the drag. This
cuts the surface of the ground better
and does more efficient work.
The road drag should move forward
so that it sIantS across the road in
such Il way that Il small amount of
earth will slide past the smooth face
of the log toward the middle of the
road. thus forming the crown. In this
way the edge of the drag smooths out
the ruts and fills up the holes.
The best way to drag is to begin at
the side ditch and go up one side of
the road and then down on the other.

HOW TO BUILD GOOD ROADS.

There Is only one right solution
of the road problem. and that
is the construction of permanent
roads. Every road built wholly
or in part with funds provided
by the state or federal govern
ment should have length of
life equal to the life Of the bonds
issued to raise the money to
pay for them The foundation.
bridges. culverts and retaining
walls at least should have such
durability Otherwise future
generations will find themselves
doubly burdened in paying off
these old bonds and at the same
time raising woney for the re-
building of the roads.
The use of bitumen or tar for
binder in place of water in
creases the life of the madacam
) road and allays the dust nui-
sance, bat does not provide Il
; real permanent road because
such binders undergo chemical
; changes and disintegrate in time.
The bituminous road is a great
. improvement ON the ordinary
. water bound highway. however.
: particularly for light traffic. The
. first requirement of ii permanent
: road is il foundation which will
. sustain heavy loads and which
: will not be affected by frost and
. water. All through roads be-
tween large centers of popula-
. ton should be built strong

!. ~tury. especially at distances OF
!. 100 miles and less. Such traffic
7 is becoming an economic neces-
]. sity because of freight conges-
+ ton on the railroads and the re-
!. quirements of long haul traffic.
T Concrete appears to be the
|. best and cheapest foundation
: material. In fact, no other ma

The Foot Of the Reindeer.

The foot OF the reindeer is most pe-
culiar in construction It Is cloven
through the middle. and each half
curved upward in front. 1t is slightly
elongated and capable of consider
able amount of expansion. When
glazed on an irregular surface which
is difficult to traverse. the animal c,n-
tracts the feet into sort of claw. by
which firm hold is secured. When
moving rapidly the two portions of the
foot as it is lifting strike together, the
hoofs making a continuous gathering
noise. which may be heard at u consid-
erable distance. 1t is this peculiarity
Of the feet that makes the reindeer so
sure footed and SO valuable In rocky
and uneven country, where almost any
other ANIMAL would prove n failure as
a beast of burden.
