NEW ROAD DRAG INVENTED
Farmer Can Attach II to Wagon Of
Automobile

A new industry which has been
recently started in Denver, Color
ado, has as its main output road
drag which is designed to operate
in connection with any four
wheeled vehicle.
The chuch- hole filler is attached
to the axle Of the vehicle as the
farmer, teamster or automobilist
is preparing for a trip on the road.
The drag works on one side of the
rig, the roundtrip preparing both
sides of the road. The drag is re
versible so it can be worked ON
either side of the vehicle, which
makes it possible for the farmer to
do all his road dragging while going
unloaded, thus adding no burden
to his horses.
By this method the roads are
properly dragd at the right time;
that is, while the ground is wet or
at least moist. The farmer is los
ing no time out dragging roads, but
is doing his road work while about
his regular road travelling. This
system eliminates heavy road
maintenance, and the good road
is Just where the farmer wants it,
that is, between the farm and
town.
There is in the United States
100000 miles of roadway and
most of it dirt road. The recent
good roads congress, which met at
Detroit, Mich, passed resolutions
urging the compulsory drag law,
which is another. step toward uni

PROSPEROUS
FARMERS

l IlNJ0I ENOOO
FARMERS
An annual visit to the Orsborn
nsighborhood FIVE miles south of
Forest City as rule. always re-
veals something new and of more
than passing interest. Ye Edi-
tor decided Sunday evening OF be
thought himself, that the flower
season would soon be over. and
that be would have to hire an auto
jnstanter, to make sure Of his an
nual pilgrimage. SO it was after
supper that we chartered Will
Garbe and his ''joy dispenser for
the occasion.
To write about all that we saw
and heard in our two or more
hours visit would easily fill several
columns Of The Press; but our OBJ
jectiye was to see the new resi-
dence that we had heard Ed. had
commenced. This is to be neat
frame six-room cottage 24x24 with
a concrete valid cellar, the cellar
part being now completed and the
stills all laid. Mr.. Welling of Sioux
City, brotherinlaw of the boys, is
doing most of the carpenter work,
the lumber having been bought
ready-cut.
The two-storv addition that
Grant is building is almost if not
quite enclosed and ready for plas-
tering. 1t is 16x32 in size and will
have bathroom and other modern
conveniences. Mr.. Gruver is the
carpenter in charge here.
Regarding crops, flowers and
luxuriant bowers, it would be I'm
fair. or q partiality. to mention
one without including all three, viz:
Grant, Ed. and thar father, Ben
nett. The gardersAowers and
foliage of the latter ought to
be mentioned first, because of his
eighty odds years, and the further
fact that the boys undoubtedly
inherited from him their genius for
making "the desert blossom as the
rose"
The hailstorm of a year ago
seems to have injured a number of
Grants appletrees, co such an ex-
tent that they seem to be dying,
tho the crabapples were not injur-
led. Ed. also has number of ap-
pletrees that are we'll loaded. The
raspberries, strawberries, but it
makes ''our mouth water" too
much to attempt to mention eve
ryting.
Perhaps the most significant
object in Grants garden was the
black walnut tree which has gaind
a height of nearly ten feet in four
years, doing extra we'll this season.
A fine field of wheat lines both
sides of the road as one approaches
these beauty spots from the north,
which look as if they were good
for at least IS to 20 bu per acre.

False Limbs for Animals.

A new invention Of artificial legs
Cor horses, mules and dogs was Of
Tered to the Philadelphia branch of
the Red Star Animal Relief by a
French-American veteran who refuses
to disclose his name.
This man, who, since the war start
ed, has taken q trips to Europe with
horses for France, claims that al
though the horse or mule will no long
err be good for active service, 1t may
be used for light farm work If these
legs are used.
The leg, or crutch, which has been
used successfully in the United States,
is made of steel, with a special
quadrant spring initiating the YER
teal and lateral feelings of the ankle
and fetlock. BY means of this many
crippled horses and mules, which
woald otherwise be killed, will be
given a chance to live.

sURFACING THE FARM ROADS
Materials Ordinarily Used In Building
Roads Are Too Expensive-FeW
Good Suggestions.

MANY of the materials ordinarily
employed in road construction will be
found too expensive for use in improy-
ing the farm roads. One or more of
the following will, however, usually
be found available and within the
means of the farmer for surfacing his
roads and paths: gravel, mixtures OF
sand and clay, cinders, brickbats from
old buildings, brickyard waste and
quarry waste. The material selected
should, however, be hard enough to
withstand crushing under heavy loads
and possess sufficient binding power
to compact well and maintain firm,
hard surface under all ordinary wealth
err conditions.

brown bread, bran bread, rye, and bar
ley will give us variety from which
to choose. When preparing the
breakfast oatmeal larger quantity
will cook nearly as soon, and the left
over amount may be put into we'll
creased pan, and when cold cut in neat
slices. This if fried nicely in sweet
fat makes most wholesome hot dish
which will take the place of meat. We
all know the value of cornmeal mush,
both as cereal and as breakfast
dish sliced and fried. Nuts, fruit, or
bits of meat added to the hot mush
make it more palatable and more nour-
ishing.
In most of the breads little wheat
flour is essential to keep the materials
together and when yeast is used to
provide the gluten to hold in the gases
so that the bread will rise.

milk, and when well mixed with the
dry ingredients, add three tablespoon
fuls of melted shortening with cup
full of boiled rice. Bake in well but

rice should be boiled tender and be
quite moist.
When serving rice In various ways
care should be taken to see that it is
well done, as 1t is unwhoIesome I'M

Bran Bread.-Scald cupful of milk,

Ice is large item in many house

closing the chest will make a great

wrap the ice in newspapers and keep
few folded and laid over the ice,
which saves wasting.

being puddIed by the horses hoofs
and wagon wheels, can be smoothed
out and properly shaped before dry
ing then the ideal is attained, and
this smoothing and shaping is the
work accomplished by the road drag.
The water standing in pools and pud-
dies is spread out over n larger sur
face, so that it dries quickly, the min
ute holes or pores in the clay are
smeared over and closed, making the
surface more nearly waterproof Nhe
ruts and holes are gradually filled
up and made smooth, and just enough
earth is moved toward the middle to
give the proper crown. The result is
a smooth, hard, well-shaped road
which will shed water and never be-
comes very muddy in wet weather
or very dusty in dry weather.
From the above discussion it can
readily be seen that dragging should
be done when the road is wet, or at
least when 1t is moist. The exact
time to drag any given road will de-
pend upon the character of the road
material, and no exact rule can be
given which will fit all cases. If traf-
fic can be kept off from the dragged
portion for awhile then the road may
be dragged when 1t Is very wet and
sloppy, but If wagons are going to
follow right behind the drag, making
deep ruts as soon as the old ones
are filled up, the dragging must be
deferred until the road has partly
dried out. Good judgment and expert
ence on the part of the operator will
soon tell him what is the best time to
drag any given road. Roads which
dry out quickly must be dragged inn
mediately after a rain, while others
may be allowed to dry for several
days before being dragged. Dragging
a dry road simply makes 1T dusty
Dragging should be done, If possible.

NEW AUTOMATIC LIGHT BUOY

Because an automatic light buoy
designed by an inventor of marine APP
paratus produces its own electric cur
rent and demands only casual atten-
tion, the cost Of maintaining it amounts
to practically nothing, Says Popular
Mechanics Magazine. Its mechanism is
not complicated. A vertical shaft
mourted on ball bearings is actuated
by a weighted horizontal arm that
swings back and forth as the buoy Is
rocked by the waves. The motion Is
transmitted through gears to a high
tension magnetic. Each time the
weights swing either to the left or the
right, the generator makes a few quick
turns and develops strong spark that

If clay is mixed with water and

dustless material is formed. If a
smooth. well shaped road could be con-
structed of this material it would
never become very muddy or very
dusty, and would be an ideal earth

ideal is not realized, because, after
being puddled the earth dries in ruts
and holes which are rough while dry
