The slope or crown of an earth road
should be about one inch to the foot.
II the crown becomes too high it may
be reduced by dragging toward the
ditch instead of from it. If the drag
cuts too much, shorten the hitch and
change your position on the drag. If
1t is necessary to protect the face Of
the drag with a strip of iron, it should
be placed flush with the edge of the
drag and not projecting. A cutting
edge should be avoided, as the main
object in dragging is to smear the
damp soil into position.

THE LAYMAN'S DUTY

There was a time when
preachers and politicians formed an
unholy alliance that civilization did
not shrek out and Christianity cry
aloud. Since the beginning of gov
eminent, politicians have sought to
decoy the ministry into the meshes of
politics and make them carry banners
in political professions. They have
taken the ministry to the mountain
top of power and offered to make them
monarch OF all they surveyed, and
while most Of them have said. Get
thee behind me Satan" a few have
fallen with a crash that has shaken
every pulpit In Christendom.

GOOD
ROADS
ROADS MUST BE MAINTAINED
No Phase Of Public Thoroughfare
Problem Of More Importance
Keep Surface Well Drained.

There is no phase of the road prob
lem more important than that Of main.
tenance. The general impression that
there are certain types Of roads that
are permanent is erroneous. No per-
manent road has ever been construct
ed or ever will be. The only things
about a road that may be considered
permanent are the grading. culverts
and bridges. Roads constructed by the
soon be destroyed by the traffic. frost,
rain and wind. unless they are proper
ly maintained. But the life of these
roads may be prolonged by systematic
maintenance. A poor road will not
only be improved by proper mainte-
nance, but may become better in time
than a good road without 1t.
The first and last commandment in
earth road maintenance is to keep the
surface well drained. To insure good
drainage the bitches should be kept
open, all distractions removed and q
smooth crown maintained. Except for
very stony soil. the road machine or
scraper may be used very effectively
for this work. The machine should
be used once or twice a year, and the
work should be done when the soil is
damp, so that 1t will pack and bake
into a hard crust. Wide and shallow
side bitches should be maintained,
with sufficient fall and capacity to
dispose Of surface water. These
bitches can in most cases be con-
structed and repaired with a road ma.
chine.
All vegetable matter such as sods
and weeds should be kept out Of the
road. as they make a spongy surface
which retains moisture. Clods are also
Objectionable, for they 500 turn to
dust or mud, and for that reason
roads should never be worked when
dry or hard. Bowlders or loose stones
are equally Objectionable II a smooth
surface is to be secured.
A split-log drag or some similar de-
vice is very useful in maintaining the
surface after suitable bitches and cross
sections have once been secured. This
drag can also be used to advantage on
a gravel road as we'll as on an earth
road. The principle involved in drag
ging is that clays and most heavy soils
will puddle when wet and set very
hard when dry. The little attention
that the earth road needs must be
given promptly and at the proper time
II the best results are to be obtained.
In dragging roads only a small
amount of earth is moved. just enough
to fill the ruts and depressions with a
thin layer Of plastic clay or earth
which packs very hard. so that the
next rain. instead Of finding ruts, de-
pressions and clods i'm which to col
lect, runs off, leaving the surface but
affected.
The drag should be light and should
drawn over the road at an angle Of
about As degrees. The driver should
fide on the drag and should not drive

faster than a walk. One round trip,
each trip staddling a wheel track. is
usually sufficient to fill the ruts and
smooth the surface. If necessary the
road should be dragged after every
bad spell OF weather. when the soil
is in proper condition to puddle well
and still not adhere to the drag. If
the road is very bad it may be dragged
