Two of the best doctors in Chicago decided The earth road is by far the most common type of highway in this coun- try. Its cheapness \n comparison with other types of construction and the absence in many sections of the country of rock, gravel or other hard natural materials for road building will render its use necessary for many years to come. There are at present in this country about 2,000,000 miles of such roads, most of which must be maintained by some means more or less inexpensive. The split-log drag is of great service on roads of this class, and an increas- ing mileage of the rural highways o1 this country is being kept in repair economically and well by the use of this simple implement. It is now in use in many states of the union and in foreign countries also, and its adoption in most localities where there are earth roads will doubtless in- crease. Two mistakes are commonly made in constructing a drag. The first lies in making it too heavy. It should be so light that one man can easily lift it. Besides, a light drag responds more readily to various methods of hitching and to the shifting of the po- sition and weight of the operator, both of which are essential considera- tions. A drag can be made heavier at any time by proper weighting. The other mistake is in the use of squared timbers, instead of those with USE OF THE SPLIT-LOG — DRAG ON EARTH ROAD Simple Implement Which Has Proved Its Value Through Years of Testing—By D. Ward King. sharp edges, whereby the cutting ef- fect of sharp edges is lost and the’ the two slabs are in the proper posi-|* tion. The stakes should taper gradu- ally toward the ends. There should be no shoulder at the point where the stakes enter the slab. The stakes should be fastened in place by wedges only. When the stakes have been placed in position and tightly wedged, a brace two inches thick and four inches wide should be placed diagonally to them at the ditch end, as shown in Fig. 1. The brace should be dropped on the front slab, so that its lower edge shall lie within an inch of the ground, while the other end should rest in the angle between the slab and the end stake. A strip of iron about 3% feet long, three or four inches, wide and one- fourth of an inch thick may be used for the blade. This should be attached to the front slab, so that it will be one-half 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 edge of the slab. The bolts holding the blade in place should have flat heads and the holes to receive them should be countersunk. : If the face of the log stands plumb 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. A platform of inch boards held to- gether by three cleats should be placed on the stakes between the slabs. These boards should be spaced Fig. 1.—Plan and Elevation of Split-Log Drag. 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 cecasionally appeared in newspapers 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 ma- terial for a drag. Red elm and wal- nut when thoroughly dried are excel- lent, and box elder, soft maple, or} even willow are preferable to oak, hickory, or ash. ‘ The log should be seven or eight feet long and from 10 to 12 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 mid- dle 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 mid- dle stake will lie on a line connecting and halfway between the other two. See Fig. 1. The back slab should now be placed in position behind the other.

Find the center of the middle hole as be- fore. When these holes are brought opposite each other, one end of the back slab will lie 16 inches nearer the center of the roadway than the front one, giving what is known as “set back.” The holes should be two inches in diameter. Care must be taken to hold the auger plumb in boring these holes in order that the stakes shall fit properly. The hole to receive the forward end of the chain should be bored at the same time. The two slabs should be held 30 inches apart by the stakes. Straight- grained timber should be selected for the stakes, so that each stake shall fit snugly into the two-inch hole when ANAMSS Sires cone. Slat iste or by mail. Sample FREE.

The end cleats should be placed so that they will not rest upon the cross stakes, but drop inside them, while the middle cleat can be shifted to either side of the middle stake. These cleats should extend about an inch beyond the finished width of the platform. An ordinary trace chain is strong enough to draw the implement, pro- vided the clevis is not fastened through a link. The chain should be wrapped around the rear stake, then passed over the front slab. Raising the chain at this end of the slab al- lows the earth to drift past the face of the drag. The other end of the chain should be passed through the hole in the end of the slab and is held by a pin passed through a link. One and one-half trace chains are sufficient. In many logs the grain runs around the tree in such a way that when split the slabs will be in a “wind.” If this wind is not more than four inches in eight feet, the timber can be\used to good advantage by setting it so that the blade end of the log shall slant forward when the other end is per- pendicular. The construction of the Side Views of Plank Drag. drag in this case is the same as given above, but care must be taken that the holes bored to receive the stakes are plumb. No wedging under the lower edge of the blade is necessary in using such a log. Drags are often constructed of planks instead of logs. There is nothing in the construction of a plank drag that calls for particular mention except the strengthening of the planks along their middle line by a two by six inch strip,as shown in Fig.2. A triangular strip may be used under the lower edge of the blade to give it the proper cutting slope.

Three tired citizens—a lawyer, a doctor and a newspaper man—sat in a back room recently in the cold gray light of the early dawn. On the table ‘were many empty bottles and a couple of packs of cards. As they sat in silence a~rat scurried across the hearth into the darkness beyond. The three men shifted their feet and look- ed at each other uneasily. After a long pause the lawyer spoke. “I know what you fellows are think- ing,” he said; “you think I saw a rat, but I didn’t.” PATENTS. List of Patents Issued Last Week to Northwestern Inventors.

Forry YEARS AGO almost every mother thought her child must have PAREGORIC or laudanum to make it sleep. These drugs will produce sleep, and A FEW DROPS TOO MANY will produce the SLEEP FROM WHICH THERE IS NO WAKING. Many are the children who have been killed or whose health has been ruined for life by paregoric, landanum and morphine, each of which is a narcotic product of opium. Druggists are prohibited from selling either of the narcotics named to children at all, or to anybody without labelling them “poison.” The definition of “narcotic” ist “4 medicine which relieves pain and produces sleep, but which in poisonous doses produces stupor, coma, convul- sions and death.”? Thetaste and smell of medicines containing opium are disguised, and sold under the names of “Drops,” “Cordials,” “Soothing Syrups,” etc. You should not permit any medicine to be given to your children without you or your physician know of what it is composed.
