, bakeS and pOurs out the moisture
thru the capillary system and
quickly becomes hard and dry. By
the use of tool like the Anderson
lister the little pipes or pores are
broken off and filled with dust and
as the moisture rises it lodges in the
dust and keeps a moist condition
just under the ground. Where this
kind Of cultivation is done 1t keeps
the ground in good growing condi-
ton and does not make it necessary
to water so often.
Comparing the work of the
Anderson disk lister on which there
are four disks, two running on each
side of the row and piling the dirt
against the row, we find it runs over
the ridges following the rise and
fall OF ground it is apt to leave a
strip two or three inches wide in
the bottom of the furrow just
where it is desirable to run the
water and that is often hindrance
to irrigation. The disk passes over
the ground with a rolling motion
where the Anderson lister passes
with a rubbing motion and where
the disk leaves some weeds the
Anderson lister breaks them off.
Mr.. Anderson is making applica-
ton for patent for his invention
and when that is established he ex-

ture of the product to be put on sale
in time for next years crop. The
neighbors who have used the ma
chine are ready to buy of him.
