the rungs. These boards should be
about s inches wide and their length
should be slightly less than that of
the runners of the drag
The chain by means of which the
drag is drawn should be about feet
long and its links should be made
of three-eighths-inch steel. On light
drags two trace chains may be used
for this purpose.
Many road drags constructed as
above described, without metal-cutting
edges or other notifications, have been
very satisfactorily used where the con-
ditions were favorable. 1t is evident,
however, that such drags are effective
only on comparatively soft road sur
faces, and to diminish this limitation
and also to increase the life of the
drag it is very desirable to provide
a metal-cutting edge for the front run
ner. An excellent edge of this kind
may be made from strip of iron or
steel about one-fourth inch thick and
about four inches wide, and even old
wagon tires or wornout grader blades
have been very satisfactory.

PLAN TO MAKE A ROAD DRAG
Illustration Shows an Implement
Which is Simple and inexpensive
Tough Wood Best.
prepared by the United States Depart

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The accompanying illustration shows
a typical design for road drag, which
is very simple and inexpensive. The
design 'contemplates the use of an ordi-
nary log of timber, such as may be
readily obtained in almost every local
ity. The log should be about or
inches in diameter and from 6 to feet
long, and should preferably be of hard,
tough wood which will not decay very
rapidly when exposed to the weather.
White oak, burr oak, chestnut, cedar,
hickory, walnut, or any similar wood
may be satisfactorily used, provided
that it is well seasoned before the
, drag is put into use. Railroad ties
have been frequently used for this
purpose and possess the advantage
that they are already cut to about the
right length. In selecting the tie,
however, care should be exercised to
see that it is of sound wood and Of
the proper size.
The drag is made by splitting or
saving the log into two equal semi
cylinders, which are then framed to-
gether in the manner shown in the
illustration. The better of the two
pieces should form the front runner
of the drag, because it is the one sub
iected to the greater wear. Moreover,
while the front runner should always
be placed with the face forward, it is
claimed by many that better results
may be obtained by having the round
part of the back runner go forward in
order to increase the Smearing action
of the drag. The two runners are
usually spaced from about 30 inches
to 36 inches apart, and are connected
in ladder fashion by means of cross
stakes or rungs.
! The ends of the rungs are ordinarily
fitted into Pinch auger holes, bored in
the runners, and are securely held in
place by means of end wedges. The
auger holes are so arranged that the
runners, when framed together, will
! be displaced in longitudinal direc-
ton with respect to each other. The
object of this displacement, or offset
as it is usually termed, is to make the
ends of the front and back runners
follow approximately the same line on
the road while the drag is in oper-
alton. The amount of displacement,
therefore, should depend on the amount
of skew necessary to make the drag
| empty itself. But since this skew va
ries with the condition of the road
| surface, the proper offset to be given
to runners cannot be definitely fixed.
Under ordinary conditions an offset
of from about II inches to about 16
inches will prove satisfactory.
In order to make it easy for man
to stand upon the drag and to shift his
weight properly when dragging over
8 hard surface, the drag should be
provided with two 1-inch boards paral-
lei to the runners and nailed down to
