Kind of Plowing. Every dry year some one asks: What can we do when a crust forms under mulch? Nothing can prevent this crust forming If the drouth lasts long enough, writes E. R. Parsons In Dry Farming Bulletin. The top inch of the mulch drieB first, then the second, then the third, and then the Inevitable crust begins to form underneath and becomes thicker and thicker with every day of drouth. We cannot break up this crust without destroying the crop, but we can render this crust perfectly harmless by the right kind of plowing, and that la all that is necessary. The formation of this crust depends on two different factors, tho drouth about and the moisture conditions be Burns, Ore. Arthur Fisher, an Indian, a fugitive from the Idaho penitentiary at Boise, Ida., was killed and V. Daniel Ackley, a penitentiary guard, was fatally wounded in a pistol battle on Tuesday. Fisher had been arrested by Sheriff Richardson and Ackley had come from Boise to take him back to the prison. Richardson and Ackley were placing leg Irons on Fisher, preparatory to taking him to Vale by stage. Seizing were a moment when both officers bending over In, front of him, Fisher withdrew Ackley'8 revolver from Its holster and almost with the same motion fired at Richardson's head. The bullet missed the sheriff. Ackley grappled with the prisoner, who shot him through the abdomen. Ackley continued the struggle until the sheriff could get a shot at Fisher without endangering the guard. Sheriff Rlchnrdsnn pumped six bullets Into Fisher's body, killing him Instantly. Ackley probably will die. Fisher1 Is said to have come originally from Lawrence, Kan. low. People sometimes talk and write In magazines about the dry farmer mak ing a cistern for moisture and putting the ltd on and so forth, as if he bad all the water be could handle, but the fact of the matter la we can wet up our land by conserving moisture to a certain percentage to a certain limit only, which Is determined by the capillarity of the soli in question, and above that limit, which Is more or less constant, it is impossible to raise It as long as there Is a dry subsoil below, which Is the,, true condition of the dry farm soil. What I mean Is this: When a storm cornea the water goes down by capillarity or gravity, or both combined, until It is too diffused to go any further; capillarity ceases for the time being until another storm comes and starts It again; then it goes down again until it stops for lack of water. Now, If we make a test of this soil for moisture a day or so after a storm, when capillarity has ceased Snow Slides In Idaho.

Bot- We have seen a lot of bad plowing new on this season, especially land where the breaking la done It la very Important by contract. that the land be thoroughly turn ed and the sod thrown to the bottom of the furrow. When the land ia plowed the surface should be partly fined. It should not be worked down as 3ne as for a seed) bed but the larger cloda should be broken up, which, of course, is a mean job on heavy soils in this aw ful dry season. If the surface were made too fine the land would crust and also might not be sufficiently uneven to catch drifting snows. The partial fining of the surface should be done at once, writes 3. D. Tlnsley in Field and Farm. The best rule is to work down what has been plowed In the morning before going to dinner and the afternoon plowing before going to supper. Never turn land and leave It rough to be fined when the breaking has been finished or to be weathered as In the humid ren glon. Observations for the past three winters on land broken and left conclushown quite rough have sively that land so treated was as dry if not drier in spring than unDroken sod. In the early deep breaking the packer may be run after the plow, but the soil would probably settle without it and its use Is not so essential as in the case of late The disk Is probably the breaking. best tool for the partial fining as It not only cuts up the clods but also If a packs the soil considerably. disk la not available the ground should be gone over with a spike-toothe- d drag harrow, or with some form of drag. The land may be allowed to stand in this condition until spring and then worked to a seed bed. The method of early deep break ing that has been described requires heavy teams and considerable labor. but will pay. When deep breaking is Impossible, the sod may be turned three inches or more and allowed to lie over winter. This will be better than not breaking at all, provided the sod is turned flat. Where for any rea-- ' son it ia impossible to break the land early much good may bo ac complished by disking the soil, es pecially If it be double disked, . with the disks set to lap In many cases this double disking will do about as much good as shallow It partly openB up the bup breaking. face to let in water and produces a partial mulch.
