PLANK DITCH CLEANER.
Method of Construction and How
Use It.
The ditcher or ditch cleaner is n eon
Tenient device for cleanup ditches and
thus keeping a road in good condition.
It consists of a guide plank 2 inches b.v
12 Inches by 12 feet and a moldboard
2 Inches by 12 Inches hy 8 foot These
| an* braced with a crosspiece three feet
long, as shown in the plan. The mold
\i*&i

board should ho shod with an iron plate
®»o-qunrter inch l>y 1 inches by feet
bold in position with three-eighths Inch
■ bolts countersunk. The cross brace
should lie hollowed three Inches on
each side at the middle, the hollowing
to begin not less than lour Inches from
each end in order that its bearing
against the guide and mold board
planks shall not be shortened nor the
nailing space decreased. This is done
to prevent earth from heaping up iu
front of the brace. A light platform Is
needed to make the use of the ditcher
safe.
The ditch is made ns shown In the
illustration of the plan, the short side
of the chain being about two feet three
inches in length and the long side eight
feet three inches. J ho chain is made
to pass over the moldboard. m> that it
may clear Itself more readily. Two or
three horses, according to the ditliculty
of the particular condition, are neces
sary to clear a ditch.
To secure the host service from the
ditcher a weight of about 200 pound*
should be placed over the front end
The essential thing to be gained I., to
have the ditcher maintain a smooth,
even surface on the bottom of the
ditch, i here is then no obstruction to
the flow of water. This require- that
soft, muddy holes be passed over light
ly and hard, high places be r ;need.
Tills result is obtained if the rl\er
shifts ids weight forward or backward
ns n high point or a mm I hole is ap
proached. If the driver shifts |,is
weight forward the point of the ditch'
or is driven Into the ground. If he
moves back the pressure on tin* for
ward end Is relieved, and the pull on
the chain tends to rnl-o it.
besides clearing tie* ditch, tie* ditch
er assists in preserving the slop, from
the side of the road to the h dbun of
the ditch I his keep) th<- road safe
from possible accident to trallic from
ditches with too abrupt slope*

NEED OF GOOD ROADS. i
Part of a Transporting Machine—Their
Neglect Mars the Whole.
“To appreciate the necessity for good
roads In America one should consider
the road as part of n transporting ma
chine. The machine Is composed !>y ti
horse, a wagon and a road. If any one
of the three is poor, the machine is
poor and ineffective. Only u small load
can bo drawn, und that slowly We
hare been spending thousands of dol
lars building up the breed of horses
and improving wagons and have al
lowed the roads to run down and offset
our costly upbreediug. Is It not time
we stopjH*d and considered the common
sense course, to build up ail three
si in u Ita neously ?”
Tills unique presentation of the ne
cessity of good roads was offered by
Iloratio S. Earle, the candidate for
governor of Michigan on (lie Republic
an ticket, to the autolsts. rood makers
GOOD AND HAD IlOAD CONTHAbTED.
and farmers which recently held a con
vention at Buffalo, and it aptly (Its the
case, making u profound impression
on the farmers present. "The same
situation exists when the motive pow
er of the vehicle Is furnished by an |
engine." be continued, "so that autoists !
and fnrmers are at one on the good i
roads question. The automobile needs !
a perfect road to accomplish all It is
capable of accomplishing. Then lot
us be sensible and provide the possi
bility of getting the best out of It.
"The antagonism of the farmer to
the automobllist Is entirely unwarrant
ed. There are some farmers who are
as offensive as some automobillsts.
The product of the automobile fac
tories of Michigan sold for $1R,000.000
In a year, and 7r> per emit came from
outside the state from the rich and
well to do. It went to stockholders
and employees and through them to
the stores and farmers. The Industry
made possible by the users of automo
biles meant a great deal to the farm
ers of Michigan, and It means as much
to the farmers of tunny other states.”
Automobiles and Good Roads.
The automobile luw become the most
important factor In the upbuilding of
our public highways and has led to the
reconstruction of more miles of good
roads than any other conveyance ever
Introduced. While it may be true that
It is more destructive of highways than
any other vehicle, It is equally true
that autoinoblling is only pleasurable
utioii the best roads man can r< nstru: t.
Thus it must and shall be that the
more automobiles we use the better
will our roads become for all classes
of vehicles and traffic.
