THE DRAG. 



Wherever introduced the drag is taking the place of the roller. In 

 almost every way it does better work. If the ground is uneven the 

 roller will not smooth it ; the drag will. If the clods are hard and dry, 

 and the rest of the ground loose, the roller will often simply push them 

 down without crdshing them ; the drag grinds them fine. If the lumps 

 are wet, the roller will be likely to press them into a sold mass, and 

 while the drag will often tear them to pieces, leaves them loose to be 

 dried by the sun and air. The best form of drag is made of oak plank 

 two inches thick, and about a foot or fourteen inches wide. If for four 

 horses, the planks can be about twenty feet long ; it for only two 

 horses, ten or twelve feet long. These are bolted firmly,together, over- 

 lapping about two inches. About two feet from each end of the front 

 plank, a strap clevis is fixed to receive the double-trees, and a team is 

 hitched to each, the driver standing on the drag behind. If the 

 driver's weight is not enough, stones or logs may be added. For a two- 

 horse drag, a hole is bored in the front plank about two feet on each 

 side of its center, and a chain is then passed through these holes, con- 

 nected with a clevis in front, to which the double tree is attached. —
