Road Drag Is Not Costly.

back the other. 1t is mistake to try
to improve too wide a strip at one
time. The best work can be done by
the drag when the soil Is moist, but
not sticky, SO the earth will move free
ly along the face of the blades. II
the roadway is very badly rutted it
may be well to drag it when the earth
Is wet. This Is particularly true just
before n spell of cold weather in win
ter when 1t is possible to have a road
way to freeze smooth.
Clay hills after considerable drag
ging frequently become too high in the
center. This can be corrected by drag
ging the earth away from the center
once and toward the center twice. The
road drag is only good in clay or SIM
liar soils, as its effectiveness depends
on the smearing action which it has
and by means of which 1t can make a
water-tight coat. The sand road will
be injured by browning 1t toward the
center and dragging because the sand
road needs all the moisture Ii can hold,
and crown will drain this moisture
away.

ROADS
DRAG PREPARES GOOD ROADS
Length and Position of Hitch, and Pc
sition Of Driver Are Of Much
Importance.

By II. T.. THOMPsON, Oklahoma Ex-
pertinent Station, Stillwater)
The successful handling of the drag
on the road depends on two principles.
These are the length and position of
the hitch, and the position of the driv.
er on the drag.
For ordinary work the cievis should
be fastened far enough on the chain
toward the ditch end of the blade tn
force the unloaded drag to follow the
team at about an angle of As degrees.
This will cause the earth to move
smoothly along the face of the drag
and will make the draft light on the
team, provided the driver rides In the
line of draft. If small weeds are to
be cut, or If the furrow of earth in the
ditch Is to be moved, the hitch should
be attached rather close on the chain
to the ditch end of the drag. This will
cause the drag to move nearly ditch
end foremost. The driver should put
his weight on the extreme forward end
of the front blade, which will make the
drag swing back to the proper angle
and make the blade pillow.
For such work the team should be
driven slowly and carefully to keep the
drag from dipping forward. If wet
spot Is met, the driver should shift his
weight backward so as not to dig too
deeply. If the blade becomes clogged
with straw or weeds 1t can be made to
clean itself usually If the driver shifts
his weight as far MS possible from the
ditch end of the blade. If there is a
low place or q mudhole to be filed the
drag can be made to drop its load of
earth If the driver shifts his weight
quickly from the ditch end.
The distance from the drag at which
the team is hitched affects the depth
of cutting. A long hitch causes the
blade to cut deeper and is used often
when q rough road is to be smoothed
up. Shortening the chain seems to lift
the furrow blade from the ground and
makes lighter cutting when doing light
smoothing work.
For new road with bumps and
holes the three-blade steel drag is eX-
cellent, as it carries considerable earth
and will not drop into the ruts or holes
as badly as two-blade drag. How
ever, it usually requires four horses.
The team should ride the whole dis
lance, going up one wheel track and

If Mr.. Bowser expected Mrs. Bow
ser to faint away, or burst into sobs
and tears, he was disappointed. She
took the news very calmly. Indeed,
she rather smiled than grieved as she
said:
