GOOD
ROADS
OPERATION OF A ROAD DRAG
one Of Advantages Is Maintenance Of
Smooth Surface, Free From Ruts
and Troublesome Holes.
CBy II. F. HAsKELL.)

10y II. r. EAShEll.l
The successful operation OF a drag
involves two principles: The first con.
Germs 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 a 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 clevis, 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 as 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 depth
of the cutting. Shortening the chain
tends to lift the front slab from the
ground; a longer hitch causes the
blade to cut more deeply. The length

servloeable Road Drag.

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
earth 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 filed, 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 Of
the road, while the earth is deposited
around the powders in such a way
that the surface is leveled. -
The approximate cost Of Q split-log
drag, labor and material Is about three
dollars; the cost for dragging one
mile, going over several times, team
and driver, is Just what you will make
It from one dollar up. depending on
the number of times required to go
over the rough road.
The advantages to be gained from
the persistent use of road drag may
be summarized as follows:
The maintenance of a smooth, serv-
iceable earth road free from ruts and
mudholes. The obtaining Of such a
road surface with the expenditure Of
little money and labor in comparison
with the money and labor required for
other methods. The reduction Of mud
in wet weather and of dust in dry
weather.

may bring the brotherhood Of the
world little nearer for the child
rem of Europe TO know that the
children of America tried to help
them in their misery:
The following Is the letter which
was sent out to the school children
by Mss Blake:
Dear Children; The committee
is asking you to sign this petition
in the hope that where people of
high estate have failed. the tender
voices Of the children raised to
plead for the lives OF their brothers
across the water may move the
rulers to cease their strife This

tions that nothing but education
will really settle. In America, where
Austrians. Bohemians. British.

as brothers 1t is for us Americans
to try to show this loving brother
hood to the world. so that the swords
may be beaten into plowshares and
all human beings work for the COM
mon good of all.
And what Is this war doing to
the nations engaged in It? The
healthiest and best men Of each
country are being sacrificed. either
dead, or, IL they return, they come
back cripples. or with health broken
and with the stain OF murder upon
their souls, while at home the wom-
en- and children with their feeble
hands must reap the harvcsts that
should be cut by the men that lie
wounded and dead on the battle
field. Tho schools are shut. the

Are closed, and trade is at stand
