Where Mistletoe Grows.

In addition to all the many kinds Of
oak trees and the naples, mlstletoe
grows with persistency and fondness
on the paper mulberry, the persimmon,
locust, ash, gum, sassafras, elm, Usage
orange, pecan, hickory, cherry, pear
and apple trees. In the far west 1t
takes hold Of the cedar and the pine
trees, especially the yellow pine lodge
pole pine and Douglas fir. The plant is
widely distributed by birds, which eat
the whitish-greeD semitransparent
berries. those birds being mostly mock
ingbirds, cardinals, cedar wax-wings
and sparrows. The robins have some
thing to do with the distribution Of
the seed. The pulp Of the berries is
very sticky. and when they become

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

tBy II. T.. THOMPCON, 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 45 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 it 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 a
low place or 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 Mt 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 q 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 two-blade drag. How
ever, it usually requires four horses.
The team should ride the whole dis
lance, going up one wheel track and
