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 this an gle or skew depends, of course, upon the condition Of the road. z By offset ting 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, 1t is usual to nail two boards down upon the rungs parallel to the runners. Standing upon these. a ski1lfu1 driver will bear his weight in such a way as to aid materially in the successful operation of the drag
 The drag is drawn by aachain which should be about eight feet long. This can be fastened by eye bolts to each end of the front runner, or one end of the chain can pass through a hole at the discharge end of the front runner, and the other end be 1ooped over the rung at the cutting end of the runner. It is important that the hitching link should be so designed that its position can be changed readily. It is also desirable to provide metal cutting edge for the front runner. This can be made from a. strip of iron or steel, and old wagon tires have frequently proved satisfactory
 The cost of such a. drag varies from $2-0O to perhaps s1O.0oo or $12.o0. This practically insignificant outlay will secure implement that will be of great service to the community for at least three or four years. The fact cannot be overlooked, however, that skill in the use of the drag is in- dispensabbies
 The angle that the runners make with the center line of the road, the an important factor. For example, if crown of the road, the drag should be material as rapidly as 1t is collected on the runners. On the other hand. the conditions may be such that it is de- in order to deposit 1t where there are intelligent operator will soon learn of the drag The length of the hitch ator's weight. the time when the drag ging is done; all these exert a marked influence upon the results
 As to the time for dragging, a. 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 to produce mud.

DRAGGINa EARTH RoADs.
Simplest and Cheapest Way to NIadn- tain Certain Highrpads in Good
 Condition.

Washingtons June So-T7ae road drag is the simplest and least expensive contrivance yet devised for maintain ing earth roads, according to the ex- perts in the U. s. Department of Agri- culture, who are cooperating with state and county authorities in work for better roads.
 Properly used. the drag gives the needed crown to the road, smoothes out ruts and other irregularities accelerating the drying of the road, and makes the surface more of less imperytous to water by snearing over the so-called pores in the earthly ma teriaL The cost of operation depends of course. upon local conditions and is done. It is safe to say, however that 1t is less expensive than any other efncfent system of upkeep.
 Farmers Bulletin, No- 597, of the Department of Agriculture. discusses under the titles of stThe Road Drag and How. It Is Used,'' the best methods of maintaining earth roads in good condition by this simple device. Tn this bulletin, which has just been pub ltshed, the Department points out that of more than 2,ooo,oo0 miles of pub lie roads in the United States only about 100000 miles have been given hard surface It is true, of course, that a large part of the remaining mil cage consists of roads that are entirely unimproved. and that on roads of this class the drag is practically useless. There is a. much larger mileage, how evere, that has been partially i'm proved, and it is on roads of this char acter-roads that has been crowned or drained. but have not hard sur facet-hat the use Of the drag is adr vocated- 5zs
 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 in. The log should be about seven or eight inches in diameter. and from six to eight feet in length. It is better to have it of wel1-seasoned, hard, tough wood. The two semi cylindrical halves of the log form the runners of the drag, and are usually spaced from 80 to 36 inches apart The front runner is always placed with the split surface of the wood facing forward, but the rear runner sometimes has it's rounded face in front. This is done in order to increase the smearing ac- ton of the drag as it passes over the surface of the rfoad.
 The two runners are not placed di- rect1y behind each other. but are of set," as it is called. from 12 to 16
