some of the big chicken fanciers from
abroad will be represented in the show
this year. Among these is Leon c.
Huntington of Omaha, one of the big
gest exhibitors and breeders of the
single comb white leghorns. He has
fifty birds that were shown in the

varieties of chickens will be seen at
the local show and D. e. Hale of CHI

of the hitch may be regulated by lengthening and shortening the chain at the end which runs through the hole in the blade end of the drag. Usu- ally two horses are enough to pull drag over an ordinary earth road.
 The object of the drag is to move earthS toward the center of the road way and to raise it gradually above the surrounding level. While this is being accomplished, all mudholes and ruts will be filled, into which traffic will press the fresh earth. The drag | does the best work when the soil IS moist, but not sticky.
 In soils full of loose stones or even small powders the drag does good service. The loose stones are drawn into a windrow down the center ol the road, while the earth is deposited | around the powders in such a way that the surface is leveled.
 The approximate cost of split-loe drag. labor and material is about three dollars; the cost for dragging one mile, gHng over several times, team and driver, is just what you will make II it from one dollar up, depending or the number of times required to g over the rough road.
 The advantages to be gained iron the persistent use of a road drag ma!
 be summarized as follows:
 , The maintenance of a smooth, serV
 iceable earth road free from ruts an' ) mudholes. The obtaining of such road surface with the expenditure O : little money and labor in comparisol
 with the money and labor required 10
 other methods. The reduction of mu in wet weather and of dust in dr | weather. N

GOOD ROADS
OPERATION OF A ROAD DRAG
One of Advantages Is Maintenance of Smooth Surface, Free From Ruts
 and Troublesome Holes.
Ry H. F. HASKELLl

By H. F. HASKELL.)
 The successful operation of a drag involves two principles: The first con- cerns the length and position of the hitch, while the second deals with the position of the driver on the drag. Each influences the other to large extent and successful manipulation of the drag is dependent upon an under standing of both of them.
 For ordinary purposes the snatch link, or clovis, should be fastened far enough toward the blade end of the chain to force the unloaded drag to follow the team at an angle of 45 de grees. This will cause the earth to move along the face of the drag smoothly and will give comparatively light draft to the team, provided the driver rides in the line of draft.
 The distance from the drag at which the team is hitched affects the deptt of the cutting. Shortening the chair tends to lift the front slab from the ground; longer hitch causes the blade to cut more deeply. The lengtf

CONSTRUCTING A PLANK DRAG
Road Implement Often Made of Lum- Der Instead of Logs-Two Horses
 Sufficient to Haul Device.

Drags are often constructed of blanks instead of logs. The plank should be strengthened along the middle line by a 2x6 inch strip. A triangular strip may be used under the lower edge of the blade to give it the proper cutting slope.
 Usually two horses are enough to pull a drag over an ordinary earth road. The team should be driven with one horse on either side of the right-hand wheel track the full length of the portion to be dragged and the return made over the other half of the roadway. The object of this treatment is to move earth toward the center of the roadway and raise it gradually above the surrounding level. While this is being accom-. plished all mudholes and ruts will be filled, into which traffic will pack the fresh earth.
