CARTOF : STATE ROADS ; c CONTRACTOR YOtiNQS IDEA Tie Device Desciibed Will Save j Reads and the Cost Will > be Bat Slight ; — — — i The economical care of state roads ' already butlt. the Improvement of those not Included under that head la recelv- ! ing a great amount of attention these l days by all who are Interested In the ■ "Good Roads" movement, as it Is self 1 evident that the proper care of a road < after It Is built Is of much more im- ■ portance. and possibly more so than the , building of It, for without that care In a viyy short time the road that lias cost t the taxpayers and the state a large sum of money would be completely ruined. J The problem has been as to the best manner to keep the road bed In the maximum of condition at thg minimum , of expense, and the most important j part of that work is the proper scraping . of the road. * The old style of scraper stlU In use | ou--« very large proportion of the country roads Is very poorly adapted to 3 ... tip. modern four-wheeled its purpose. f

scraper will do the work for which It p was designed and every time the road a neeu* scraping It Is apt to prove ex- d pensive with the result that owing to t the cost, the Supervisor will omit several scrapings that should have been s done, and again there are roads on r which this heavy scraper cannot be t used to advantage. All the roads i should be scraped after each heavy i rain and a scraper so designed that It < will do the proper work at very little < cost Is necessary. ' The most effective and economical ■ method yet devised of maintaining earth ; I roads after tiey have been properly constructed. aVd thus Improving the i , condition of those not included In the list, is by the use of the drag which can be hauled by one team anil should . | be used after each rain In order tnat no 1 ruts may form in the road way or water stand on the water surface.

Numeroha articles have been written J on the use of the drag and various types n are now In effective use. r The figures shown Is a form of drag recently devised by the New Tork Stats t Highway Department and upon the re- h cent trials has shown that the principal involved In 1U construction Is ths true ^ principal upon which all Implements of ^ character should be expected to work. fl each ten feet long, placed five feet apart This drag consists Of two plank runners t blades held together with necessary t bracing and tie rods. At the rear end ^ of each blade la cut a aplll out at the c side. In action It approximates the ( working of a carpenters plane upon a j rough surface, that la It cuts the high ; spots and achlpa the low ones. The ( material as taken from the high spots ( Is deposited In the low ones, thus re- . moving all wavy and humpy conditions , of the road surface which la a result . extremely difficult to obUiin with any , other form of drag and Impossible with , the old form of scraper. The steel cutting blades are slotted . and bolted to the front aide of the , j scraper and the beat results are obI t&ined by placing these blades Bush I with the bottom of the shoe. The cost of this drag Is about fifteen dollars. The most essential point to observe i In using a road drag Is the condition ; of the road at the time It Is used. The | drag should l»e used Immediately after a lain while the surface of the road la • still soft. A gravel road can be scarcely . ever said to be too wet. On a clay > road the drag should be used Just before the clay begins to harden. An Imy

portant point often overlooked Is that road surface after the use oi the drag will harden to a greater degree than at any ether time. Roads now considered almost .mpas- . aible for loaded teams or autos can be placed In a reasonable good condition a little drainage and the frequent of the drag at a very small expense. Motorists and all others Interested In the "Good Roads" movement be of the 'greatest service if they will personally see every local Supervlser In their diitrict and try and have i him procure a drag and give It a fair trial on roads under his charge for one season, using It after each rain. The I result will be that the roads will be in the highest state of efficiency and the l old scraper will be consigned to the i scrap heap. W. E. YOUNG. Anglesea, N. J.

A bumper crop of peaa waa being harvested and as rapid-, ly aa the vines were fiiowa down and tiic wagons carted them away to the canning factory two teams began the plowing of the land for the plaining ot corn and were In turn followed by a corn planter which In one motion, as it -J [ were, dropped the seed corn and the^_ — phosphate, sowing and fertilizing twojHHH^H | rows at one time, and covering over and r nicely packing the ground at the same time. Two wagons for carting the vines were In use. one being leaded while the teams were engaged in plowing and one team was employed on the com . planter. a total of ten horses a at work and thirteen men. , Another feature, decidedly modem, a wai the fading away of the whole push a at precisely five o'clock. The old-time 5 farmer would have fallen . dead If hie j hired man had thought of aucn a thing as stopping work at five o'clock. Aa
