A judicial Favor.

A verdant local reporter whose pro-
pensities incline to daring rather than
to judgment and whose ardency in the
quest Of news is one Of his marked
characteristics approached a judge of
the United States district court and So
licited a little advance information on
a case in progress in the judges court.
! you see, judge said the youngster
to the astonished jurist, I'VE go to
press in a few moments, and we all
know your inclination to do news
paper man a favor"
The venerable man eyed the youth
'sternly and said slowly and emphat-
dcally:
Eyes, young man, I'll do you IA
vor this time, and you will see that
you don't ask me again"
''That's fine, your honor. Thanks,
very much. Just a few lines will do"
II will do you this favor. 1 shall not
send you to Jail this time, but if you
ever approach me again with such a
question your friends will not see you

tons, where dead burrows are to be
avoided if possible, is of great impor-
lance. The advantage of dispensing
with dead burrows in any field and thus
leaving the surface level, is worthy of
consideration. In Europe, the revers-
ible plow has been in more extended
use than in this country
The moldboard type of reversible
plow consists of two plows, a right and
left hand, which are used alternately.
These plows do not have many of the
conveniences of the high lift sullSy and
do not make the usual provisions for
relieving the Landslide friction by placing
the load on the carriage. 1t is, how
ever, an entirely practical tool The
reversible disk plow is so arranged that,
by swinging the team and hitch about
to the opposite direction, the inclination
of the disk is changed, but the carriage
is left unchanged and is simply drawn
across the field in the reverse direction.
1t would seem that this implement has
reached higher state of development
than its moldboard mate-Fyom The

the disk pillow is given credit for doing
more work than it actually performs,
IN that the bottom of the furrow is not
fat and measurements should not be
made at the deepest point.
The disk plow does not have tongue
and does not make as good corners as
the modern high class sulky plow. If
the disk is of proper shape and size, the
pillow pulverizes and mixes the soil thor
oughly, which are essential features of
good blowing. The plow will cover
standing weeds to good advantage, but
loose trash is troublesome 1t cannot
be used at all in tough sod.
The size of the disk proper varies
from 20 to 80 inches in different plows.
A 24-inch disk will do the most salts
factory work under usual conditions.
1t pulverizes the soil to the best advan-
tage-more than a smaller disk, and is
not of as heavy draft as larger disk.
A disk blade, 20 or % inches in dame
ter, can be used for longer period, as
much more metal is provided for wear.
It is mistake to try to cut too wide
a furrow with disk plow. A furrow
wider than eight inches results in more
or less "cutting and covering" 1t is
common to see plows cutting 12-inch
burrows which bearly meet each other.
The vital part of disk plow is the
disk and its bearing The former
should be constructed of the best of
material, for which the faith of the
manufacturer must be taken, and the
latter should have plenty of material to
resist wear and reliable means of
excluding dirt and providing lubrica-
ton.

How to Open a Can of Corn.

One of the smallest of the little girls
in West Philadelphia family had Of
ten assisted her mother in preparing
the meals. She observed that her
mother, who was rather hasty, always
talked to herself when she had any
difficulty in opening cans of vegetables.
The little girl thought that the hasti-
ness was part of the operation.
Zone day she was visiting neigh
Dor and went into the kitchen to help
prepare a meal.
She watched the neighbor take a can
of corn, apply the opener and remove
the top.
'That's not the way to open can of
corn" said the little girl.
"Why, what other way is there?"
asked the neighbor.
"Well, you take the can Of corn and
start to open it, and then you bear
down and the opener slips. Then you
say Darn this can! and finish it..
That's the way my mother opens can

The Deep Tillino Machine

This is a new machine which has
come upon the market within the last
two years, and as far as providing
means of blowing the soil to greater
depth than hitherto, it is a success.
The machine is disk gang plow with
the second or rear disk set to plow a
furrow in the bottom of the furrow
made by the first In this way, it is
entirely possible to plow to depth of
10 inches. The disks are large and do
the best work when cutting a furrow
12 inches wide.
The draft of this tool is surprising.
When tested in loan soil with a clay
subsoil, the draft, when blowing 12-
inch furrow and 10 inches deep, was
between 500 and 900 pounds. A TO-
inch sulky plow, when forced to its
capacity for depth,-eight to nine inches
gave a draft between 600 and 1000
pounds, or about 100 pounds more. By
comparing the sizes of these various
burrows, it is to be noticed that the
draft of the tlling machine was very
satisfactory. Again, it would be quite
impossible to plow so deep with any,
thing except special plow of this
character
1t is not purposed to discuss the mer-
its of deep tilling here, yet it is to be
surmised that certain soils will be very
receptive to such treatment and give
paying results in increased yields.

was presented to the public
and heraded as plow
bound to replace entirely the
moldboard type. This it has not done,
yet it has found certain conditions un-
der which it will work much more sat-
isfactorily than the older type of plow
These conditions are two in number,
as far as the writer has been able to
determine. The hard dry soils of
some of the western states are more
easily subdued by means of the disk
plow than any other. These soils at
certain times of the year are turned out
in Jumps by the plow and the disk plow
cuts its way through the Jumps and
breaks them up. Yet the disk plow can
not be used in extremely hard ground
such as might be found in a road, as it
could not be kept in the ground.
The other condition of soil to which
the disk plow is we'll adapted is where
it is SO sticky that the moldboard plow
cannot be made to scour we'll, as in
heavy clay or gumbo soils. The black,
waxy soil found in Texas and other
parts of the South is such a soil. The
disk plow with its scraper to clean the
disk will turn a furrow, regardless of
the securing properties of the soil.
Where the moldboard plow will do
good work, it is to be preferred to the
disk plow. AS generally constructed,
the latter is very clumsy implement
and very heavy, the weight being neces-
sary to keep the plow in the ground
Claims for its lightness of draft cannot
be substantiated by tests when COM
pared with moldboard plows under
favorable moisture conditions. Often

"Eatinq Crow"

The term ''eating crow" comes from
an ante-Revolutionary story. A soldier
Of an English regiment stationed in
Virginia shot pet crow belonging to a
farmer. The latter entered COM
plant with the colonel, who sentenced
the soldier to eat the crow. The farm
er was left alone with the soldier to
see that he did it. After the soldier
had consumed a portion of the bird
he took his gun. presented it at the
farmer and told him to eat the re-
mainder of the crow or he would shoot
him This was the origin of the eat
ing crow story.

Beginning of the Panama Canal

The success of the enterprise deter
cutting of an interocean, sea level
canal across the isthmus OF Panama
A company was organized IN Paris in
1876 which procured from the govern
ment of the United States of Colombia
q concession to construct the canal on
its territory. De Lesseps estimated
that the project could be accomplished
for 100000 francs.
Work was first begun in 1881, but In
a short time 1t became evident that the
undertaking involved difficulties which
had not been foreseen and that the es-
Inmates were absurdly low. In order to
obtain additional funds and to retain
the confidence of the French people
bribery on an almost unprecedented
scale was resorted to. prominent news
papers were subsidized and even men,
bers Of the French chamber OF deputies
were corrupted. In 1892 many OF the
transactions OF the company or its
agents became known to the public and
the disclosures. duplicating a number
OF the most prominent men OF France,
gave rise to perhaps the greatest imam
cial scandal In French history. The
company was declared to be bankrupt

Opening of
the Great
Link Between
the Oceans
By Horatio F. Stohl

r HE formal opening Of the Pan
anna canal to the commerce OF
the world promises to be one Of
the greatest spectacles of mod
ern times. OF course every nation on
the face of the globe will be invited to
participate in the festivities and 1t Is
certain that hundreds of notable and
royal persons, ambassadors and diplo-
mats of every country will be on hand
to witness the celebration of the
achievement Of the United States in
uniting the two oceans.
President Taft has suggested, as a
fitting curtain raiser, the mobilization
of the world fleet at Hampton roads in
January of 1915. This would enable
the distip guished visitors to the United
States TO pay their respects first to the
chief executive at the national capital
and then take their place in the unique
international naval procession that will
steam down the Atlantic coast, headed
by the cruiser or battleship carrying
the president of the United States.
The passage through the canal of
such an armada will prove great
sight to the spectators along the canal,
for the progress through the great
locks will necessarily be slow and at
certain vantage points 1t will be possi-
BILE to view them at close range and
with almost the same ease and conven-
fence that one enjoys in watching a
street parade.
The entire length of the canal from
deep water in the Atlantic to deep
water in the Pacific is about 501a miles.

though the great event will be its re-
ception here in conjunction with the
opening of the Panama-Paciio inter-
national exposition. Hundreds OF thou
sands of visitors will be on hand to
greet the first vessels to pass through
the canal, and 1t is safe to predict that
the naval parade will surpass in I'M
portance and beauty any of the his
torical marine pageants that San Fran
ciscans treasure in their memories not
excepting the spectacular entry OF the
sixteen American battleships through
the Golden Gate after their long and
hazardous cruise around the Horn.
The bay will be dotted with warshipa
and vessels of every description. and
during their stay here the officers and
men will figure prominently In the
street parades exposition events and
social life. The Portola festival last
year gave US fair idea of the many
social possibilities when distinguished
officers are entertained at public and
private functions.
This will be the largest gathering of
foreign vessels in our harbor since the
days of the civil war. In October OF
1858 our navy was represented here by
the Narragansett, Cyane, Shubrick, Sa-
ranac, Saginaw. and the flagship Lam
