BBI l Ast‘. July 7—The leaders of
.. tolenanters ln lister profess to
consider the Nationalist \olunteer
movement as something not to be to
ken seriously. These Nationalist
bands in the l'lster counties drill spas-
modicaliy and are not connected with
any central organization. All the local
leaders are entirely on their own illit-
ialiie. in some districts the volun-
teers are split into factions, under op~
posing ltauers, who carry on a news-
paper
The l'lster leaders say that the Na-
tionalist volunteers must fall through
the lltlpmwlbllll)’ of getting arms. They
claim to have many letters from Amer-
it‘d showing that the lrish there are
tired ot contributing to Home itch
and now that thev lonsider an lri ll
palliallent assured they propose to
let those ill lreland settle their inter-
nal questions without help, 'Even if

“We have two years start ill the

keep it," an official of the l‘lster lJn-
ionist Council said to The Associated
Press.
[ll many l'lster villages the Nation-
alist bands are being drilled by retlr
ed army sergeants near the halls and
parade grounds of the i'lster battal~
ions and the townspeople are able to
watch the preparations of botll forces.
There were 13,500 Nationalist volun-
teers in Belfast about the middle 01"
June and many more in lcndonderry
city, where Catholics and Protestants
are much more evenly balanced
numbers
in the (‘ovellanter movement there
are two distinct factions at present.
One is a militant section which advo-
catcs immediate provocative action.
witll the belief that bloodshed would
shack the English non-conformlsts and
force Asquith to grant l‘lster‘s demand
ofr permanent exclusion from an lrish
government. The other faction, which
includes 'important busineSs men,
successfully to prevent the declaration
of a provisional government for lil‘
ster when the Home Rule bill passed
the third reading the House of Com-
lnons. The first faction now clamors
to have the provisional government
set up when the king signs the bill,.
while the more conservative business .
interests counsel delay until lite Irish
parliament ill Dublin is launched, ‘Sir
Edward Carson sided with the latter
faction at the knit conference of lead-
ers hero _ "
Meantime the volunteers, saturated
with the military spirit are becoming
impatient. Some battalions have even
sent deputations ot' omcers to
quarters to ask when the campaign
would begin, and the. work of keeping
the hold spirits quiet is increasingly
difficult.
The headquarters staff has worked
out a plan of campaign for hostilities
It is not likely that they will attempt
to use this citizen force against train-
ed regulars with heavy guns. for as
one omcer remarked, the most they
could expect would be to put up one
good fight and,be cut to pieces. The
present plans are to keep the Ulster
Nationalists in check when the provi-
sional government in set up.
being formed into four regiments,
known as the Belfast Division. which
will act as a police force. 2% flying
column, composed of 3,500 picked and
paid volunteers, a majority of whom
are old soldiers, has been organized
as a first line striking force with ma-
tor tron-port, capable of conveying it
to any part of Ulster in leviathan four
hours. This force is armed throughout
with new Mausers and possesses ten
Maxims of the latest pattern. Certain
county regiments, especially those of
Antrim and Armugh. would go on net-
ive service with tilts column, while
other county regiments. including Lon-
donderry, must remain at home to sup‘
press the .l‘atlonalists.
It the’ provisional government were
established the flying column would be

that it is less expensive than any oth-
er efficient system of upkeep. _
Farmers’ Bulletin, No. 537, of the
Department of Agrisulturc, discusses
under the title of “The itoad lirag and
How it is lised,’ the best methods of
maintaining earth roads in good con-
dition by this simple. device. in this
bulletin, which has just been publish-
ed, the department points out that or
more than 2,000,000 miles of public
roads in the United States. only about
200,000 miles have been given a hard
surlhce. It is true, of course, that a.
large part of the remaining mileage
consists of roadc.that are entirely un-
improved, and that on roads of this
class the drag is practically useless.
There is scrunch larger mileage. how-
ever, that has been partially improved,
and it: is on rude or" this character"
roads that have been crowned or drain
ed. but. have not a hard surface-that
the use of the drag is advocated.
ill its simplest form. the road drag
consists of an ordinary log split in
half and the. two halves connected like
the uprights of a ladder by means of
cross sticks or rungs set in. The log
should be about 7 or is inches in diam-
eter, and fronl ii to ti feet ill length.
it is better to have it of well-seasoned,
hard, tough wood, The twoseml-vcy-
lindrical halves of the log form the
runners of tiled rag, and are usually
spaced frolll 30 to 313 inches apart. The
front runner is always placed with the
split surface. or the wood lacing for-
ward, bill the rear runner sometimes
has its rounded face in front. This is
done‘ in order to fit?“ theismeorinz

as. This is done becausb the bright-
da an angle sul-
ticlent to make lizarlfiineto i’rd'e ”them-
seller; of the matorial widen they
scrape. The amount of this angle orj
skew depends. of course, upon the}
condition of the road. By oflsettllig,
the runners. it is possible to make:
their ends follow approximately the
stable line on the road, which they
would not do if they were set directly
behind each other and the drug drawn
at an angle with the load.
In order to provide standing room
for the man, it is usual to nail two
boards down upon the rungs parallel
Standing upon these,"
in such a way as to aid materially in.
the successful operation of the drag. 5
The drug is drpwn by a chain which
should be about 8 feet long. This can
be fastencd by eye bolts to each end
of the front runner, or one end of the
chain can pass through a hole at the
discharge and of the front runner, and
the other. end ballooned ovpr the runs;
at the cutting elidiof the runner. It:
is important that the hitching link:
should be so designed that its position:
can be changed readily. it is also do-
airabla to provide a metal cutting edge
for the! rout runner. This cgn be
made from “a strip" of .iron or steel, and.
old wagon tires have frequently prov~
ed satisfactory. l
