Road Drag Is Not Costly.

to improve too wide 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
~ along the face of the blades. If
the roadway is very badly rutted it
may be well to drag ii when the earth
Is wet. This is particularly true just
before spell of cold weather in win
ter when 1t Is possible to have 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 It's effectiveness depends
on the smearing action which il has
and by means of which 1t can make n
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 1t 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.

tBy Fl. T.. THoMPSON Oklahoma Elk.
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 to
force the unloaded drag to follow the
team at about an angle Of 40 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 as possible from the
ditch end of the blade. If there is
low place or mudhole to be filled 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 a 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 1t carries considerable earth
and will not drop into the ruts or holes
as badly as a two-blade drag. How
ever, it usually requires four horses.
The team should ride the whole dis
lance, going up one wheel track and

Mr.. Bowser was half an hour late
In coming up to dinner and Mrs. Bow
ser had begun to worry for fear Of
accident when he arrived. He came
along In a brisk, excited sort of way,
and he had not yet entered the door
when he called out:

ten minutes to spare"
what is it?" she asked. as she fol-
lowed him down to the dining room.
1T has come. Mrs. Bowser. I have
held myself back long as possible on
your account, but 1t has come now"
"What do you mean. Mr.. Bowser?'

listed this afternoon. We are going

things and kiss you good-by and, the

next thing you hear Of me, I shall be
on the bloody field and, perhaps, have
fallen with the Others"
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:
~ have been wondering for some
time why you didn't go to war. You
are an able-bodied man and 1t is really
your duty. When the honor of your
country is at stake, you should be one
Of the first to uphold 1t. l will gladly
help you get ready"
''Yes, i am going to war and shall
do my best to rOut the enemy" said
Mr. Bowser. In less enthusiastic
tones. ITS one chance in thousand
that I ever return. for l shall ask to be
sent right into the first battle which
takes place."
'Of course you WILL" replied Mrs.
Bowser. "There will be no such thing
as keeping you out of battle. AS for
your being killed. you must run the
risk of that. Won't 1t surprise the
neighbors around here. / can boast
that he will kill terrible number of
the enemy. Are you through with your
dinner? If so, will help you pack"
yes, I've got to pack" said Mr..
Bowser, but he was rather slow about
1t. Indeed he did not get up from the
table for about five minutes, and then
he did not rush upstairs.
"About my writing your" said Mr..
Bowser, as he scratched his head. "Of
course, want to write you as often
as 1 can, but you mustn't expect a let
ter every day"
ooh, no, no. no. If you write me
once In two weeks, shall try and be
patient about It. You will be in bat
tie every day, probably, and, Of course,
you won't have much time to write.
Tell me In every letter how many of
the enemy you have killed that day.
Now you can be off as soon as you
like"
"But I was going to say something
important. and 1t has gone out of my
mind"
"Never mind. 1t will probably come
back to you after your first battle, and
you can write 1t. You have only lit
tie time to get to the depot. / wouldn't
have you miss the train for any
thing"
Bowser was not enthusiastic. He
followed Mrs. Bowser downstairs mad
gave her formal kiss, and picked up
the suitcase and walked down to the
gate. When he reached the corner,
he left his suitcase against a tele-
graph pole and returned to the house.
Mrs. Bowser was still on the front
steps, and she hailed him with:
"You will miss your train II you
don't walk faster than that. What
brought you back"
"Say, did you put In a couple Of
clean handkerchiefs?" he asked.
81 don't think did, but I will run
right up and get two or three for you.

In an awful way and. of course. you
want handkerchiefs.'
Mr.. Bowser sat down on the steps
and, when she had brought the hand
kerchiefs, he seemed In no hurry
about going. The cat came up to him
and he stroked her back in an affec'
tionate way and said:
"Of course must uphold the honor
Of my country, but do love you and
the cat. She seems to realize that
am going away to be fodder for gun
powder"
Eyes, you may be killed." replied
Mrs. Bowser. "but other men will be
killed, too. 1t isn't SO very dreadful
to be war widow"
Mr.. Bowser stood up. He looked all
around. He looked up and down. He
hated to go, but his country called
him. He shook hands with Mrs. Bow
ser, gave her another kiss and was off.
He went up to the corner again and re-
covered his suitcase and went march
Ing. He marched about so feet and
then came to a halt and leaned against
the fence. Half a dozen men who
knew him came along and stopped and
asked him II he was going on jour
ney, and his reply to each was:
IL have started for the war;"
And their exclamation In each case
was:
Good for you, old man! You are

see you go for the last year. Let
yourself loose when you get there.
