PREPARING WAY FOR PEACE.
Believed That Germany Is Willing to
Listen to Peace Proposals.

Washington.-The message from
Pope Benedict to President Wilson, it
was learned au;horitatively Sunday,
makes it clear that the German en-
peror and the vatican have an under
standing on the subject OF peace.
The pope was informed by direction
OF the emperor, it was declared, that
Germany is willing to treat for peace
or to listen to proposals with peace
as their object.
Pope Benedict, 1t was declared, has
been approached by the Austro-Hun-
garian government with peace repre-
sensations and has received from EN-
peror Francis Joseph tangible propo-
sitions which would warrant him in
seeking the services of the United
States in the interest of peace.
Cardinal james Gibbons OF Balti
more, recognized head OF the Catho
lie church in America, said Sunday, in
a statement to the International Naws
service, he knew there Is something
in the air." He expressed the hope
that it would come to a successfu
termination.

REMARKABLE ANOMALY.

A London banker--not a temperance
man-is quoted by the Review of Re-
views as saying: 1.-THE drink question
has been just about the worst handled
Of any Of the domestic problems which
AVE confronted England since the out
break OF the war. The savings, direct
md indirect, from the putting through
II Lloyd-George's total prohibition
cheme last spring would have gone
mighty long way towards paying the
cost of the war. We have the remark
,ble anomaly OF people sacrificing
rivers OF blood for their country, and
yet unwilling to give up the use OF a
leverage which not only wastes money
nut lowers their industrial and mill
airy efficiency as well. II VIII
robably take another year or 80 oil
var to bring the country to It's
enses."

LABOR UNIONS, ATTENTION.

Speaking OF the saloon as the enemy
OF organized labor, Major Dan Morgan
Smith (once an attorney for the liquor
interests) points out that when
union bartender Is driven out OF his
Job by prohibition ut prevents that
bartender from selling liquor that Will,
in the course OF year, drive over
thirty other union men out or their
jobs"
I'm this connection" continues Ma
Tor Smith, II would call the attention
of labor union to the fact that 1t Is
cardinal rule of unionism that union
workman shall not handle. buy or sell
nonunion goods. Who ever heard or
a union bartender looking for union
label on n whisky bottle? Who ever
heard OF a union bartender throwing
a case OF beer into the alley because
| II was made by nonunion labor? IL
they did this they would nave to throw
the most OF It in the alley. A large
percentage OF the breweries through
out the whole United States are not
unionized. The union bartender sells
nonunion whisky, sells nonunion beer,
he helps the downfall Of union broth
err and refuses to protect the wives
and children of his fellow union men,
What kind of union man is he, any
how? The mere labelling man
union man doesn't make him one, and
he cannot be one in truth and In his
heart, II handles nonunion goods;
II he ruins union men and brings sor
row into union homes"

cultivation, and with a rainfall like
1915, may go from fifty to sixty bushels
per acre.
Minet is q late crop, often planted
on the dry farm, for hay. The seed
being small, has to be planted shallow.
and one good rain will bring it up. 1t
has often been seeded as late as July
10th, and made a good crop Of hay;
but 1t is much safer to plant 1t in June.
1t is usually broadcasted at the rate
of fifteen to twenty pounds to the acre
Millett hay is very rich and increases
the percentage of butter fat In milk,
but on this account must be fed spar
ingly until the stock are used to it.
1t is considered too rich and heating
for horses, but may be fed in small
rations together with alfalfa or some
other hay.
There are many varieties of millet,
man is about the best for the dry
farm.
Turnips are another crop that Is
often planted in July. The flat strap
leaf purple top is the most popular,
as 1t does not run to foliage much as
turnip, and stands the dry weather
well. They may be broadcasted or
drilled in at the rate of n and one
halr pounds to the acre.
The late crops are planted on newly
plowed land; except in a wet year
there is every chance of a failure.
Land plowed late in the season, and
planted before it has had a chance to
settle at the bottom and fill up with
moisture, is always over aerated and
when the crop suddenly dries up after
two or three weeks dry weather, it is
this air in the soil that is to blame.
Therefore, M OF the most important
things on the dry farm is to do the
blowing for spring grain always in the
fall, and that for late crops as soon
as the frost is out of the ground.
The two most important operations
in his industry are deep blowing and
following, and they go hand in hand
one is of little use without the other.
Farmers sometimes say they have
no luck with deep blowing, because
the work is done at the last minute;
but neither shallow blowing nor deep
blowing nor any kind of blowing will
raise a profitable crop under these
conditions if the weather turns dry
for the ground is " aerated-dries
out quickly and there is no reserve Of
moisture. Under these circumstances
does packing help? Very little; the
best thing is alternate discing and har-
rowing as much as possible.

HISTORY OF THE HARROW.

The harrow is frequently the least
understood and most despised imple-
ment on the farm. Narrowing Is usu-
ally delegated to the Gull team as
well as to the Gull driver. In conse-
quence Of which Gull results are natur-
ally often obtained. Notwithstanding
this the usefulness OF the harrow has
been demonstrated on almost every
kind Of soil and at all periods OF the
growing season. That Its usefulness
was appreciated In Shakespeare's time
may be cleaned from those line In
Richard IL; II will go root away the
noisesome weeds. that without profit
suck the soils fertility" II is even
made mention OF by Biblical writers,
Referring to the harrow, Job said:
"Will the unicorn harrow the valley
after thee?"
However since only the lighter soils
we're cultivated In ancient times. the
harrow often consisted of bushes or
branches of trees. which merely
scratched the surface of the ground.
Even today In some OF the re-
mote parts Of Europe the peasants use
a brush harrow of this sort. The
march Of progress does not halt for
the remote districts to fall in line
and WI find that the old A harrow,
which originally consisted Of thorn
bushes with a cross bar attached, was
improved upon by the Romans. who
devised q square or oblong harrow
made with bars and provided
with numerous teeth.
This remained the standard type

2x4 and four feet long. in which the
necessary holes have been made to al
low the hngs to pass through easily
and work freely. This keeps the two
three section harrows in position just
as well as the one long heavy evener
and does not cause the front of the
harrow to dig so deeply into the soik
with much top litter or other refuse

Agriculture, Saskatchewan, Canada.
American Falls press. [volume] (American Falls, Idaho) 1907-1937, 1916-03-23

until late in the sixteenth century.
Since then the harrow in its course of
development has consisted of a wooden
frame with wooden teeth; a wooden
frame with iron teeth; or wholly iron.
The second type is still In use to a
considerable extent. but iron harrows
are los commonly employed.
or a very different character is the
chain harrow. which consists of a col
lection OF iron rings, and the disc and
acme harrows with which We are fami-
lar.
In dry farming practice probably no
other implement plays so important
a part In moisture conservation as
does the drag harrow. In our regions
OF scant rainfall. practically all plow-
ing except sod should be narrowed i'm
mediately after or better at the same
operation as the blowing. In fact the
narrowing should be considered as
part OF the operation OF blowing. II
we did not have the harrow the much
talked OF soil mulch would be very
difficult to obtain. There are other
implements on the farm which we
could use to produce this mulch, but
the small acreage covered by them in
a day makes the cost Of production so
great that their use is prohibitive.
The two outstanding features OF the
harrow In producing a mulch are the
rapidity with which the work can be
accomplished and the efficiency Of the
work done.
Not only Is the harrow a splendid
implement to use In producing or re-
storing a mulch. but II is beneficial
also as n packer. In newly piowed
land especially the harrow teeth go
well In to the ground breaking up the
humps right through the furrow slices,
compacting the soil and thus mater
tally aiding the capillary action of the
soil moisture. For every pound OF
dry matter produced In a plant from
four hundred to seven hundred pounds
OF water are absorbed. Experiments
have proven hat a single stroke OF
the harrow has checked evaporation
to the extent OF one hundred tons Of
water to the acre. This is equivalent
to an additional yield of approximately
four bushels OF wheat to the acre.
The ordinary iron or wooden drag
harrow should be and is usually con-
structed so rs to avoid the teeth track
| ing This q hast aooornfgahoa ,k-.
only n place is provided for attach
ing the whiffletree. In the case OF a
four horse harrow with two bitches
provided on N long evene carless
driving, or one team habitually slow
err than the other. may result in the
teeth tracking continually which is
not narrowing Mt all. A much better
arrangement than the usual long
evener on say a six section harrow
with two horses hitched near each
end, or better even than having the
four horses hitched to the middle of
a long evener is the one which I shall
endeavor to describe.
The six section harrow should con-
sist OF two complete harrows each
three sections wide. each drawn by a
light evener wide enough for three
sections. To each evener is attach
ed a set OF two whiffletrees. The In
ner sections OF these combined two
sets of harrows can be kept the prop
er distance from each other by first
running the four evsner attachment
links through a piece of hard wood
