1t is fully as important that road
be dragged at the right time as it is
that the dragging be properly done.
Furthermore, the difficulties involved
in prescribing definite rules for deter
mining when dragging should be done
are equally as great as those already
encountered In attempting to define
how it should be done. Only very gen.
eral statements concerning this fea-
ture of the work can properly be made
here, and much must be left to the ex-
perienced judgment of these who de-
eide when the dragging of any particu-
lar road is to be started and when 1T
is to be stopped.
The rule frequently cited that all
earth roads should be dragged imme-
diately after every rain, is in many
cases entirely impracticable and is also

less creditably. In 1860 he sought to
defend Tientsin against a foreign ex-

was captured and held for two years

crude defense is known in the foreign
quarters as "Seng-ko-lin-sin's folly"

very misleading because of the condi-
tons which it fails to contemplate. 1t
Is true that there are many road sur
faces composed of earth or earthly ma
terial which do not become very muddy
under traffic, even during long rainy
seasons, and since such surfaces usu-
ally tend to harden very rapidly as
soon as the weather clears up, it may
be desirable to drag roads of this kind
Immediately after rain. Such roads,
however, would not ordinarily need to
be dragged after every rain, because
of the strong tendency that they nat
urally possess of holding their shape.
On the other hand, many varieties of
clay and soil tend to become very
muddy under only light traffic after
very moderate rains, and, it is evident
that roads constructed of such ma
terials could not always be success
fully dragged Immediately after rain.
Sometimes, in fact, it may be neceS-
sary to wait until several consecutive
clear days have elapsed after long
rainy spell before the road is sufficient
ly dried out to keep ruts from forming
almost as rapidly as they can be filled
by dragging.
Well-cOnstructed sand-elay topsoil
roads should not often become muddy
after they are once well compacted.
They may become seriously rutted,
however, under heavy traffic, during
rainy weather, and are almost sure to
need dragging several times each year.
Such roads should ordinarily be drag
ged as soon after q rain as prac-
tlcable as otherwise the surface soon
becomes dry and hard, so that it is
necessary to do considerably more
dragging in order to fill the ruts. Fur
thermore, the material which the drag
moves will not compact readily unless
it contains considerable amount of
moisture.
Gravel roads can be effectively main
tanned with q road drag only when the
gravel composing the surface is fine
grained and contains q considerable
quantity of clay earth. Gravel road
surfaces in which this condition pre-
walls not infrequently get badly out of
shape during wet weather, and may
sometimes require considerably more
attention than well-constructed sand
clay topsoil roads. The time for drag
giDg gravel roads is unquestionably
while they are wet. In fact, the best
results are sometimes obtained by do
Ing the dragging after the road has be-
come thoroughly soaked and while 1t
Is still raining.
In general, it may be said that the
best time to drag any type of road is
when the material composing the sur.
face contains sufficient moisture to

moved by the drag and is not sufii-
