I: RQ^^FARM I HOW TO OPERATE ROAD DRAG | There Are Few Periods During Year When Use of Implement Will Not Prove Beneficial. The surface of the average country road should be covered in one round wiin me arag. une norse snouid Do driven on tho inside of tho wheel track and the other on tho outside-, the drag being set, by means of the chain, so that it is running at an angle of about 45 degrees with the wheel track, and working toward tho center of the road. In the spring when the roads are morn llkolv tr> he rutty and soft It Is generally better to go over the road twice or more. The drag should be floored with boards which are separated by open spaces of sufficient width bo that the dirt which falls over will rattle CX1I UU^ll. On roads with heavy traffic the drag should be use 1 much oftener and with more care than on roads with light traffic. The distance from the drag at which the team is hitched affects the I cutting. A long hitch permits the blade to cut deeper than a short hitch, likewise a heavy doubletree will cause the cutting edge to settle deeper than o light one. There are very few periods of thr year when the use of the drag dots not benefit the road, but it docs the r ' Excellent Road Draft best work when the soil Is moist and yet not too sticky. This is frequently within a half-day's time after a rain. When the earth Is in this state It works (he best, and the effects of working it are fully as beneficial as at any other ( So much has been written and said pertaining to tho greut benefith from the use of the road drag that ninny people beginning the use of it become rfiscdt,Mixed before they nre well started. They should not fool thus It often takes a whole Bea3on for the road to become properly puddled and baked to withstand the rains and traffic. After a road has been worked ^ with a drag only a short time it Is not well to expect It to stand up to heavy tralllc during a continued damp spoil without being affected. However, It will take far heavier traffic than most earth roads receive to more than scuff up the surface.

If there are some windows about the house where you would like to havo some plants growing, and no provisions have been made for boxes for them, don't forego tho pleasuro because it seems to be late in the season. Use Coleus Instead of flowering plants. A row of the yellow variety about the outside of the box, with scarlet in the center will make your window brilliant with color, and as these plants are of rapid growth you will not have to wait long for results. They will often be found more satisfoctoi/ than (lowering plants, becauso their richly-colored foliago will take tho place of flowers, and it will be in ctmciiw ui itu unit's, w uiio iew now* eting plants will afford a constant sLow of color.
