Following the plow the disk may be
used to good advantage in two ways.
Set at an angle it will pulverize the
surface and followed by the harrow ii
prepares a good top to the seed bed.
Set to run straight or nearly so it acts
as a packer to settle freshly plowed
ground which is soon to be seeded.
The disk is also labor saver in put
ting in crops on land that has been in
cultivated crops the year before. Here
the farmer gets the advantage of crop
rotation BY going from a cultivated
crop to a small grain crop he is enabled
to prepare the land in the spring with
the disk for seeding, which is quick
and easy operation as compared with
the plow
If stubble ground is not to be fall
plowed it should at least be gone over
with the disk, turning under the scat
tered grain and weed seed which will
be sprouted by fall rains and later
winter killed. Otherwise these seed
would volunteer in the next years crop
and cause trouble.

Cross disking does not give as salts

A number of companies manufacture
disks for which they make various
claims. All disks work Oh the same
principle. An important item is the
size of the disk. This implement OPP
crates with a combined cutting and re-
volving motion and the smaller in di-
ameter the disk the more efficient it is
in pulverizing the soil From this it
may be judged that preference should
be given to the smaller disk. four

service The width of the disk will de

NORTH IDAHo's BIG STICK

While we are too far from the
scene of the fight over state division
to understand and appreciate all of
the skilful maneuvers that are being
made by the generals on the opposing
sides, and while the possibilities of
congressional action when the measure
is finally ready for consideration are
not definite, it is gratifying to the
people of the northern part of Idaho to
know that at last a club has been
found that hits the south just about
as hard as the south has been whack-
ing the north for the past 20 years
with the university removal PROPOSE
ton
There is something humorous i'll the
change that has followed the discovery
of the powerful weapon the north has
uncovered in the proposition of seces-
sion. Of course, it would not be right
TO hope that the new-found strength
will be used in retaliatory manner;
but there is some satisfaction in re-
viewing the possibilities of using it to
obtain some much-needed legislation
favorable to the north.

Diedrich knickerbocker.

1t may be that Dutchman named
Knickerbocker did live in the early his
tory of New York. but ii he did there
are no records eytant to prove 1t. The
truth Is, the name was created by
Washington Irving. who applied it TO
all residents of New York in his time
who happePed to be descended from
the early Dutch settlers. Irving used
this quaint Dutch character in his
"Knickerbocker History Of New York
to burlesque the early days of the city.
The volume purported to have been the
work of Diedrich Knickerbocker and
gave an amusing and satirical account
of the early Dutch settlers. Records
of the period tell us that the book bit
terly offended their descendants. VINO

USE OF TIL. DISK.

Utility of This Instrument on the Irri-
gated Farm.
For irrigation farming it is impor-
tant that the soil be handled in such a
manner that it will be kept in a phys
ical condition favorable to use by
plants of the moisture of the SOIL
writes ]. D. O'Donnell in the Reclama-
ton Record. When blowing time comes
on the irrigated farm the soil dries out
on top very rapidly unless preventive
measures be taken. If the blowing is
started when the soil is just right it
is likely to be breaking up in a cloddy
condition before the field is finished,
leaving All spaces where a good, COM
pact seed bed should be. Double disk
ing the ground ahead of the blowing
will thoroughly pulverize the surface
and effectively prevent drying out of
the soil; also this pulverized surface
is turned by the pillow into the bottom
of the furrow, making a perfect con-
and soil turned by the plow. While
this disking ahead of the plow appears
to be extra work, it is really labor
saved, as MUCH less work is required
to bring the plowed ground into good
for seeding, and the farmer
may be positive that the all important
seed and root bed is in first class condi-
ton.
A similar use of the disk following

EDDIE ROUSH FORCED
TO PLAY LEFT-HANDED
Cincinnati Outficldcr Formerly
Throwcd With Right Until
Injured.

Eddie Eoush, the spectacular out
fielder OF the Cincinnati club, who is
one of the leading sluggers OF the
National league. broke into baseball
as an infielder. Roush, who bats and
throws with his left hand. was a regu-
lar fellow when he got his first trial
in the big show with the White Sox
several years ago as an infielder.
Roush then was right handler, but
he threw his arm out at the shoulder
one day and was let so.
1t didut lake Eddie long to real
ize that his 'souper" was done, so he
began pfhuticlny with his left. AS
left-handed infielders We're not want
ed except at the first corner Eddie
transferred himself to the outfleld. He
developed his fielding and throwing
enough to get n trial with the India
napolis club OF the Federal league,
and he made good from the outset.
When the Feds disbanded several
managers were wary of taking Roush
because OF his arm, not believing that
man could develop a new throwing
arm after Is years of age. However.
he was signed by the Giants along
with Benny Kauff and Spitball
Pitcher Anderson. When Christy
Mathewson was traded to the Reds.
New York was undecided whether to
turn over Roush or Kauff to big
Six.

DIFFICULT TASK TO
PICK DIAMOND STAR
Each Player Exccls In Some Specific
Branch OF Game Over
Rivals.

Picking the leading baseball player
in named position is man-sized
task. To draw comparison between
certain players is overstepping the
bounds OF sane criticism at times. To
say that Babe Ruth or Walter Johnson
or Grover Alexander is the best pitcher
In the game might be true, but 1t
would be sure to start an argument
over the merits of his rivals.
For instance, 1t can hardly be said
that Arthur Fletcher or Roger Horns
by is the best shortstop in the National
league merely because II is true that
they lead as hitters. Neither can II
be said that Maranville or Bancroft or
Workman is the best because he Is a
flashy fast and accurate fielder. Each
mans worth has to be considered.
From n strictly defensive standpoint
It probably is permissible to announce
Maranville as the premier. with Ban
croft and Workman running close be-
hind. Everett Scott of the Red Sox
doesn't rank with Hornsby and Fletch-
er AS a hitter, but ne is n better fielder
than either. However. that does not
entitle hinr to be called the best short
stop In the game.
be drawn from almost every position.
Ty Cobb. OF course. stands alone as an
offensive playing outfielder. AS
fielder he Is not u iris Speaker.
One might pick Babe Ruth as the
best southpaw. but that hardly pro-
nounces him the best pitcher.

These figures were furnished by
