A cheap and valuable imple-
ment for grading roads.
The king road drag was first
made and used by D. Ward
King a Missouri farmer. It
has proven so useful in road
work that the Agricultural De-
partment of Missouri has em-
ployed King to travel and lect-
ure in order to enduce the farm-
ers to use it more extensively.
It has also been introduced intoj
Illinois where it is used in many
places. *■-.
The following description
shows how it is made and uset£
The the trunk of a straight tre*^
eight or ten inches in diameter and
from seven to ten feet long that
splits well. Split in halves, take a
large auger and bor« three holes in
each piece, one in the center and
one near each end. Place one be-
hind the other about three feet
apart with the split side toward the
front, insert pins in the holes and
wedge them to connect the two and
the drag is made. Fasten a rope
or chain on each end to pull by.
Fasten the double trees nearer one
end than the other so it will push
the dirt to the center of the road.
If the ground is very hard run one
furrow with a plow to give it a start
You may stand on it to drive and if
you want it to move more dirt stand
on the foremost end. One boy
twelve years old with a good pair
of horses or mules aan take the
place of five men and twelve horses
with the road grader and the big
plow. s
No doubt the farmers living
in the hard lands of Eastland
county would find the king drag
a very valuable road machine.
every Sunday to get some of the
healing mineral water.
Farmers are busy regreting
the loss of so much seed corn.
Better wait a while boys till
winter is over.
Best wishes for the Herald.

Here is a test for good eggs: take
a vessel and put water in it, so as
the water will be about four inches
deep and drop the egg in it with
th3 side down and watch close and
if it drops to the bottom with the
side down and heavy like a rock
you can call it a good egg and if
one end inclines up it is about
gone; if it floats or stands on it’s
end it is a bad egg. If you have
any doubt you had better test them
“Say” said the editor’s smart lit-
tle son as he entered the store, “do
you keep knives”? “O yes,” replied
the storekeeper. We’ve kept them
for year3.” “Well,” returned the
boy, starting for the door, “just
advertise, and then you won’t keep
them so long.”—Ex.
