man who was caught In the act
OF skinning neighbor's sheep, cov-
cred his embarrassment by declaring
that no sheep could bite him and
live. The logic OF this is equaied by
that of the Yankee soldier who once
had narrow escape from an enraged
gander. The men OF certain Maine
regiment. which was In the enemys
country in 1862. considered the order
mo foraging' an additional and un-
called-for hardship. One afternoon
about dusk. a soldier was seen beat
Ing rapid retreat from the rear OF
farmhouse near by. closely pursued
by a gander with wings outspread.
whose feet seemed scarcely to touch
the ground, and from whose beak is
Eucd succession OF angry screams.
The fugitive was not reassured by the
cries OF the gander's owner: Hold
on, man. hold on! He won't hurt
you!" Call off your gander! Call
him on" shouted the fleeing soldier.
Neither man nor gander stopped un-
til inside the camplines. when the SOL
dier's friends relieved him OF his
fierce pursuer with the aid OF the butt
Of Il musket. Did that gander think
lie could chase ME like that and
live!" the soldier exclaimed, as he
surveyed the outstretched bird: but
he said nothing OF the baited hook.

have thrown light on the unfortunate
Gander's strange actions.

SAVE SOIL MOISTURE
Land Should Be Disked as Early
in Spring as Possible.
Some Farmers Do Not Appreciate Disk
Harrow's Many Uses-More valu.
able Than Any Other Piece OF
Farm Machinery.

Although the disk harrow is used on
largo number Of the farms OF Kan
sas. many farmers do not use 1t when
1t will do the most good.
Tue uses Of the diskg harrow are
many. and without doubt 1t is one of
the most valuable implements on the
farm. 1t may be used to conserve
moisture. break up cloddy ground aft
er plowing. prepare hard and dry soils
for plowing. and destroy weeds after
they have grown beyond the control
OF the smoothing harrow.
The best way TO preserve soil mois-
ture is to disk the land as early In the
spring as the condition Of the soil will
permit. BY doing this. q large share
OF the water from spring rains and
melted SHOWS Is kept from evaporat-
ing. and by changing the texture of
the top soil. to the depth the disk goes.
the surface soil. where roots start TO
develop, will become warmer. drier.
better aerated. and better suited to
lessen the rate Of evaporation Of the
deeper soil water. and will hasten the
development Of weed seeds SO they
may be destroyed.
The most effective way to use the
disk In the spring work is to lap the
harrow half. and In doing this the
furrow between the sets Of disks will
be entirely filled and the surface will
be left level.
When labor is scarce and the farmer
must save time. the double acting disk
should be used. This Is a new i'm
plement recently placed on the market.
and is considered by the authorities
OF the Kansas Agricultural college to
be built on good principle. Although
1t has a heavier draft, there seems
to be little doubt that 1t will come In
to general use In the near future.
Often. after plowing. a heavy rain
comes and compacts the soil. leaving
the best conditions possible for rapid
loss Of this water by evaporation.
This land should be gone over with a
disk as soon as the ground will per-
NIT. Many farmers follow the binder
with the disk: that is. they have the
disk run behind the binder before the
grain is shocked. This Is a good prac-
tice. as the stubble ground il then In
the best condition to catch any rain
that might fall before plowing. and the
soil Is left in such a condition that
plowing Is made much easier.
Where small grains are to follow
corn or potatoes the use OF tho disk
harrow will often taake thu plow un.
necessary. but either the disk must
be run deep or a cutaway disk must
be used. The chief objections to the
cutaway disk are that It does not pull.
verize the soil SO well. and 1t is not SO
easy to sharpen rs the full.bladed
disk. Although 1t may run deeper.
there Is no appreciable difference in
the draft Of the two.

POTASH IN M0HAvE DESERT
Reported That Vast Deposits Have
Been Found In caltsornIa-AvaIl.
able In Commercial Form.

Vast deposits of potash are ru-
mored to have been found in Cali.
fornia-enough to supply the United
States probably for thirty years. SO
government scientists estimate.
The potash was discovered In
Searles' lake. in the Mohave desert.
in San Bernardino county. Cal. Field
men OF the geological survey and the
bureau OF soils estimate that the de-
posit may amount to 100000 tons.
but the authorities In Washington.
from data In their possession. believe
more than 10000. 900 tons OF potash
Is available there.
The great value of the find is that
the product is in readily available
commercial form. Most Of the potash
known to exist in many places in the
United States is not SO.
Similar dried up lakes containing
valuable deposits. It is believed by
government officials. exist in the arid
regions and will be discovered.
The government bureaus for some
time had sought throughout the coun-
try for potash. Telling certain a supply
would be found. At present the United
States and other nations are almost
entirely dependent upon Germany for
potash.
II this report is true. It is OF great
importance to the whole industrial
and agricultural world. 1t will cut the
price OF fertilizer In half and big In.
crease In crops will follow its greater
use by the farmers of America.
