Harry Gouklcr, has written Pres

pertinent Station. stiiiwater)

| (IfY III. l. THOMFnONt ONllUum2 hL-
pertinent Station. Stiilwater)
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 clevis should
be fastened far enough on the chain
toward the ditch end Of the blade tn
force the unloaded drag to follow the
team NJ about an angle OF 40 degrees.
This will cause the earth to move
smoothly along the face OF the drug
and will make the draft light on the
team, provided the driver rides In the
line OF draft. II small weeds are TO
be cut, or II 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 drug. 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. ia wet
spot Is met, the driver should shift his
weight backward so as not 10 dig too
deeply. If the blade becomes clogged
with straw or weeds Il can be made TO
clean itself usually II the driver shifts
his weight as far as possible from the
ditch end Of the blade. II there is n
low place or a mudhOle TO be filed the
drag can be made 10 drop its load OF
earth II 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 10 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 mad
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-blada drag. How
ever, II usually requires four horses.
The TEAM should ride the whole dis
lance. going up one wheel track and

MEASURING DENSITY OF SNOW
Gauge It's Specific LIohtness' by mIIiL
meters In Height That Produce
One MIillmeter Water.

The density Of snow varies great
ly, and by gauging its Specific light
ness" by the number Of millimeter'
in height that will produce one mill
limeter Of water. NJ. Mongin, the
French meteorologist, states that he
finds the rang to be from 200 to 1.3.
The snowfall on mountains is es-
timated in a number of ways. One
method is to measure the height &c
cumulated on a board one meter
square supported one meter above the
ground and then sliding it into q
zinc tank for deter ming the water
it makes on melting. Another type
Of instrument is tube which is
pushed down through the snow, then
closed at the bottom by shovel TO
retain the contents Of the tube on
withdrawal In remote places Wis
tied only at considerable intervals
the snow is collected in a tank. only
the snow water for a stated period
being measured. Vaseline oil in the
tank covers the water, preventing
evaporation, and calcium chloride
hastens the melting Of the snow.

Germany has been engaged in war
for three years and up to the present
time not a "bloodcd" German has
lost his life. In the list Of killed and
wounded there has not appeared the
name Of a Prussian or German
prince, nor even a member OF the no
bility. II they are around the fir
Ing line at all, they are in a deep eel
lar with q floor covered with fine car

Tho emperor Of Germany has six
sons, and not one Of them has re-
ceived q scratch. One or two Of them
have been married since the war be-
gan, and the crown prince, who was
supposed to command at Verdun,
has had another prince born TO him.
The German autocracy is not go
ing hungry. None Of it members is
