Superintendent Skinner has been trying out an experiment this week on dragging the stone roads. A big truck was hired in Morocco and behind it was fastened double road drags manned by two men. The first day they covered the road from Ade to Kentland, and from thence east to the township line and back to Kentland and doubled on the state line, and returned to Morocco. In this way fifty miles can be covered in a day and with 4 fit) miles of road this means q'udck work. Heretofore grading was done bv teams and it was hard work to get enough at one time to man the drags, and then if the roa.i wrs hard the drag blades would be slanted so that good work would not result. The truck costs $1.75 per hour and men to ride the drags $3 per day.—Bropk Reporter.
