GRADED ROAD IN CONDITION
Drag Scrapes off Projections and Fills
Up Low Places-WiTi Keep Bed
Well Crowned.

The graded road can be kept in the
best condition with the least labor by
using the road drag. The road drag
scrapes off the projections and fills up
the low places, thus leaving no places
for water to stand. which is what
causes the road bed to soften and be
cut into ruts. A persistent use of the
road drag will keep the road bed well
crowned. smooth and hard and this
will also result in the least dust, as
the dust comes largely from the grind
ing up of the ruts and rough places
left by the horses feet.-Extension d.
