USE OF THE SPLIT-LOG
DRAG ON EARTH ROADS
=By D. Ward King*
expert on the split-log drag - office of public roads
Two mistakes are commonly made
in constructing a drag. The first lies
in making It to heavy. It should he
so light that one man can easily lift
it. Besides, a liglft drag responds
more readily to various methods of
hitching and to the shifting of the
position and weight of the operator,
both of which are essential considera-
dropped on the from. e?at>, so that its
lower elge shall lie within an inch
of the ground, while tlie other end
should rest in the angle between the
slab and the end stake.
A strip of- iron about three and a
half feet long, three or four inches
wide and a quarter of an inch thick
may be used for the blade. This
As to Modesty.
Modesty didn't make dress. Drees
made modesty. Only it should be
borne in mind that .once modesty has
developed the conventions cannot be
suddenly and radically violated with-
out social degradation. Modesty isn't
something that doesn't matter. It does
matter.—Exchange.
Knew All About It.
"Young man, you must learn that
time is money," counseled the fa-
ther.
"Well, dad. at least, I have noted
points of similarity between them."
"In what way?" asked the encourag-
ed parent.
"You know the expession 'time
flies,'" replied the young hopeful.—
Buffalo Express.
Positively Not.
The reformed burglar, upon his re-
lease from jail, was inclined to be a
bit facetious. "Simply state," he re-
marked to a reporter who chanced to
be in the vicinity, "that under no cir-
cumstances will I be a candidate for
another term." Proving that burglars,
as well as comedy actors, have a sense
of humor.—Judge.
Young Grammarian.
A teacher gave an examination on
the comparison of adjectives and ad-
verbs following a series of lessons
upon that subject. One little boy was
called upon to compare the word
"far." With much Shuffling of embar-
rassed feet, he replied: "Positive,
far; comparative, farther; superlative,
grandfather."
Hons. A drag con be made heavier I should be-attached to the front slab,
at any time by proper weighting.
The other mistake is in the use of
squared timbers, instead of those with
sharp edges, whereby the cutting ef-
fect of sharp edges is lost and the
drag is permitted to glide over instead
of to equalize the irregularities in the
surface of the road. These mistakes
are due partly to badly drawn illus-
trations and plans of drags which
have occasionally appeared in news-
papers and partly to the erroneous
idea that It is necessary that a large
amount of earth shall be moved at
one time.
A dry red cedar log is the best mate-
so that it will bo half an inch below
the lower edge of the slab at the
ditch end, while the end of the iron
toward the middle of the road should
be flush with the edgd of the slab.
The bolts holding the blade in place
should have flat heads and the boles
to receive them should be counter-
sunk.
If the face of the log stands plum^
it is well to wedge out the lower edge
of the blade with a three-cornered
strip of wood to give it a set like
the bit of a plane.
An ordinary trace chain Is strong
enough to draw the implement.

KEEPING THE LINEN IN ORDER
Welt Ordersd Clout l« a Joy and With

vided for In Any Houae.
A well ordered linen closet la a Joy
to every bousewlfe who fortunately
poiaeaaea one. The really Ideal linen
eloaet, of course. Is one that Is big
enough to have a window; but the
usual line closet Is built into some
cranny of the upper hall. In a rather
dark, out-of-the-way corner. This sort
of closet Is, of course, Just as useful as
the larger, airier one, and with a little
attention can be made to look almost
as well.
Before the week's laundry work Is
put away It should be thoroughly aired,
this rule applies to sheets, towels, pil-
low slfpa and table linen, as well as to
clothea. If the day is bright and dry
the freshly-ironed clothes can be
spread on a clothes horse on a sun-
shiny plaza, or In an open window. If
the day is damp they should be aired
before a stove, fireplace or radiator.
It is a good plan also to leave the linen (
closet door open for an hour or so
every few days, when the wlndowa
throughout the house are open.—

Thoroughly Ventilated.
"What you need most," said the
physician after he had examined the
patient, "la- plenty of ventilation."
"Gee, doctor," the sick man replied,
you mual be mistaken. I've been
operated on three times in the laat
year and a half."
It Is All Handled.

when she needs bread that we handle

"Mamma wante bread that is not
handled."
PERSPECTIVE VIEW OF SPI.1T-LOO DRAG.
(From Farmers' Bulletin 321, U. S. Department of Agriculture.)
Shows Webster Wasn't Infallible.
"I looked up the word 'brat' in the
dictionary," says Mr. Pozozzlo, "and
find it is marked Obs., meaning 'obso-
lete.' Noah Webster was right about
a great many things, but he never
lived alongside the urchins next door
to me."

rial for a drag. Red elm and walnut
when thoroughly dried are excellent,
and elder, soft maple, or even willow
ire preferable to oak, hickory or
ash.
The log should be seven or eight
feet long and from ten to twelve
inches in diameter, and carefully split
down the middle. The heaviest and
best slab "should be selected for the
front. At a point on this front slab
four inches from the end that is to
be at the middle of the road locate
the center of the hole to receive a
cross stake, and 22 inches from the
other end of the front slab locate the
center for another cross stake. The
hole for the middle stake will lie on
a line connecting and half way be-
tween the other two See figure. The i
back slab should row be placed in po-
sition behind the other. From the end
which is to be at the middle of the
road measure twenty inches for the
link or clevis should be fastened far
enough toward the blade end of the
chain to force the unloaded drag to
follow the team at an angle of 45
degrees. This will cause the earth
to move along the face of the drag
smoothly, and will give comparatively
light draft to the team, provided the
driver rides In the line of draft. The
distance from the drag at which the
team is hitched affects the depth of
the cutting. Shortening the chain
tends to lift the front slab from the
ground; a longer hitch causes the
blade to cut more deeply.
If small weeds are to be cut or a
furrow of earth Is to be moved, the
doubletree should be attached rather
close to the ditch end of the drag.
The drag will now move more nearly
ditch end foremost, and the driver
should stand with one foot on the ex-
treme forward end of the front slab.
This will swing the drag back to the

Three Really Excellent Dessert Dishes
That Are Not Expensive and Take
Short Time to Prepare.
Orange Sweet.—Take a breakfast
cup of sweetened orange Juice and

brandy or sherry (If sherry Is used
about three tablespoons) and two
dozen macaroons. Arrange _them In
the dish they are to be served In,

Many former coffee drinkers who
have mental work to perform, day aft-
er day, have found a better capacity
and greater endurance by using Post-
um instead of coffee. An Ills. Woman
writes:
"I had drank cofTee for about twenty
years, and finally had what the doctor
called 'cofTee heart." I wan nervous
and extremely despondent; had little
mental or physical strength left, had
kidney trouble and constipation.
"The first noticeable benefit derived
from the change from coffee to Postura
was the natuwl action of the kidneys
and bowels. In two wcekB my heart
action was greatly Improved and my
nerves steady.
"Then I became less despondent, and
the desire to be active again showed
proof of renewed physical and mental
(trength.
"I am steadily gaining In physical
strength and brain power. I formerly
did mental work and had to give it up
on account of cofTee, but slnco using
Postum I am doing hard mental labor
with less fatigue than ever before."
Name given by Postum Co., IJattle
Creek, Mich.
Postum now comes in new concen-
trated form called Instant Postum. It
Is regular Postum, so processed at the
factory that only the soluble portions
•re retained.
A spoonful of Instant Postum with
hot water, and sugar and cream to

proper anglo and will cause the blade
to plow. This hitch requires slow
and careful driving in order to prevent
the drag from tipping forward,
the blade shouldplow too deeply, as
it may do in a wet spot, the driver
should Bhift his weight toward the
back slab.
Some attention Bhould be given to
coiiter of the cross stake, and six in-
ches from the other end locate the
center of theoutside stake. Find the
center of the middle hole as before.
When these holes are brought opposite
each other, one end of the back slab
will We sixteen inches nearer the cen-
ter of the roadway than the front one,
giving what is known as "set back."
The holes should be two inches in the edge of tho blade. Iu the begin-
(iiaqieter. Care must bo taken to hold
th<! auger plumb In boring these holes
In order that the staKe shall fit It
properly. The hole to receive the for-
Aard end of the chain should be bored
at the same time.
The two slabs should be held Jiiirty
Inches apart by the stakes. Straight-
grained timber should be selected for
ning, the average earth road requires
no steel plate on the drag, though the
drag will be better preserved If tho
steel is applied at first. At the end
of a year's work, if the dragging has
been faithfully done, a steel plate will
be needed. If the twist of the log Is
prop«*ly used, or the three-cornered
strip of wood is plucod under the
the stakes, so that each stake shall fit blade, a flat piece of ateel will answer
snugly into the two-inch hole when
the two slabs are In the proper posi-
tion. The stakes should taper grad-
ually toward the ends.. There should
be no shoulder at tho point where
the stakes enter the slab. The stakes
should be fastened in place by wedges
only.
When the stakoB have b' en placed
in position and tightly wedged, a
brace two laches thick ami four inches
wide should be placid diagonally to
In case the blade stands perpendicu-
larly It should be slightly cupped when
sharpened.

Take three or four slices of fat
salt pork, cut Into little squares. Put
those Into an Iron kettle and fry over
a slow fire until all the fut Is extract-
ed; then take out the scraps, leaving
the fat In the kettle, and into this
place a layer of potatoes, thinly sliced,
then a couple of onions sliced, and
then another of potato and onion, and
so continue until you have perhaps
four layers. Sprinkle salt and a little
black pepper between the layers. Now
lay on the pork scraps, adding Just
enough water so that none will be left
when potatoes and onions are cooked.
When done, or nearly so, take a dozen
Boston crackers, split and lay them
on top, split side up. Now take a
handful of flour and stir It In a pint
of milk, adding a little salt and a lump
of butter (small). Put Into the pot
and let boll until the crackers are
soft. The whole should be well mixed.
Use Just enough milk to give a mois-

In two cups of milk. Let It boll up
once, then season with salt and pep-

should be put one teaspoon butter. If
you like oyster crackers served with
milk stew, you can use them with this
soup, which greatly resembles oyster
stew In flavor.
