FRESH-WATER HARBOR FOR
SEATTLE.

Zone Of the most important OF
the many big engineering projects
now being carried out on the
Pacific coast is the construction
of a navigable canal connecting
Lake Union and Washington with
Puget Sound at Seattle, Wash. "
says the July Popular Mechanics
Ma agazine, in an illustrated arti-
Gle. "This work, which will cost
a total Of about $4,000, 600, is now
so nearly completed that it IS
planned to open the waterway to
navigation at the time Of the
formal opening Of the Panama
Pacific Exposition in 1915. The
opening Of this canal will pro-
vide Seattle with a freshwater
harbor, and will make about 100
miles Of shore line available for
wharves and factories. y

ABOUT "CLEANING UP"

A man read a piece in a news
paper about cleaning up town
and went over to his neighbor,
and said: "What' the use OF
cleaning up? Within a month
the town will be dirty again. ="
The other man replied: Why
wash your face in the morning z
1t always gets dirty again before
night The policy of washing
the face from time to time is es-
tablished. The people who wash
their faces know they will get
dirty again. Nobody has ever
designed workable way Of
keeping the face clean. In a
certain sense to wash ones face
seems a foolish thing to do. No
body can prove just how per
petually dirty face makes for
disease, yet everybody knows
that the dirty faced have a
greater death rate and a greater
sickness rate than the clean faced,

road comes about from the fact
that water stays on the road sur
face, because it cannot drain
away into the side bitches. 1t
the road has been properly
dragged the water will run off the
surface. Then if the bitches are
properly taken care of the water
will drain away and leave the
roadway in splendid 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 to the
right Of way and should be open
at every low point, so that the
water can run out of them into
neighboring brooks. or streams.
If the bitches merely collect the
water flom the road surface and
do not carry it away large pools
will be formed along the road
side, which Will generally soak
into the soil beneath the road
and make it so soft that the
wheels of the wagon will cut
through the surface and soon des-
troy it. Consequently it is alb
solutely necessary to have thor
ough drainage if splendir earth
roads are to be secured.
In many places underdrainage
bv means of tile is absolutely
necessary for best results. The
tile should be laid along the side
of the road at least two or three
feet beneath the surface Of the
ground.-The American.

BEST TIME FOR ROAD
DRAGGING.

The best results from roaC
dragging come when the roads are
dragged directly after a rain
says an expert in the American
Agriculturist. The surface OF
the road is leveled, the holes and
ruts are filled up and the earth is
puddled. A crust forms when
the top dries out, making the
road much more lasting than 1t
would be if dragged at any other
time.
To keep a road smooth and
crowned the best method is to
drag with an ordinary wood road
drag, made easily with two
halves Of 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
fored through the log.
If tie. are not heavy enough
a board can be placed on top, and
the driver stands upon it. This
will weight it down sufficiently.
In some eases it has been found
desirable to attach a 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 ef-
ficient work.
The road drag should move
forward so that it slants across
the road in such a way that a
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. = d
The best way to drag is to be-
gin at the side ditch and go up
one side of the road and then
down on the other. The next
trip the drag should be started a
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
smeared by the round side of the
log smoothly over the road. The
smearing Of the earth by the drag
is called pudding, and it tend to
make the surface smooth and
hard and turn off the water,
especially after the sun comes out
and dries it thoroughly. The
road is always dragged after it
has rained and not when it is dry.
With a good, strong pair Of hor-
ses and a well built drag one
man can drag about three or four
miles Of a road a day. This is
the best possible way to maintain
good earth roads. In every coun-
ty some farmer along each four
miles of road should own a drag
and drag the road when it rains,
and he would find the road in
good condition when he goes to
market.
