He has A SCHEME.
Wichita Man Proposes Scheme Ths
Beats SubsoiliDg.

John Hughes has a scheme that he
thinks will beat all irrigation PROPOSE
tons Vet submitted to the people for
their consideration John claims that
il is not an experiment now because
il has been tried in California and
proven a success.
Mr. Hughes claims when his method
OF farming is adopted that hundred
bushels of corn TO the acre in this sec
ton Of Kansas will be the rule rather
than the exception.
Mr. Hughes plan is to loose the sub
soil to 4 depth of three feet and this
he Will do by means of dynamite cart
ridges He viii drive an iron bar about
the size of the rod used in the engate
OF a wagon and then put in dynamite
cartridge which are about the size OF
a lead pencil and explode ii.
The cartridges will be put certain
distance apart on say ten acres and
ali exploded at the same time and Mr..
Hughes says the ground will be raised
up and thoroughly pulverized for 4
depth of three feet.
The California fruit growers have
tried this on ground 10 be planted to-
trees and have found il great success.
Mr.. Hughes says. and one man out
there raised eighty bushels of corn TO
the acre on ground looSened up with
dynamite and the corn was watered
but once after planting and the cart
ridges to do the work cost IS per acre.
Mr.. Hughes claims that such d Shak-
ing up Of the ground as is obtained
by the dynamite process viii leave the
subSOl loose for at least three years
and that would make the cost 81 per
acre per year and that would be as
cheap as Subsoiling and much better.

The Letters of Erasmus.

The letters of Erasmus are rich mine
full of materials for a study of the six
teenth century in many aspects and not
only in its religious controversies. We
have an insight into courtly, social and
literary life. The paid tutor in the prince s
house had now become a regular institu-
ton. We see the value of a dedication "a
q wealthy patron. We have a vivid pic
ture of what travelling must have been,
the difficulty OF procuring carriages, the
slow pace by horseback, the wretched tav-
ems.
How we pity poor Erasmus in that jour
ney from Basic to Louvain with bhs frail
constitution, arriving at ak after fear
full shaking on bad roads and being re-
called with cold carp by the precentor and
next day at the vice provost's with nothing
but cells and "bacalao," salt cod almost
raw. Though suffering IN uch from illness
aggravated by the journey. he managed to
reach Louvain, where his miseries culmi-
mated in an attack of what was supposed
to be the plague, and hardly any one would
come near him. He concludes, however,
thus: II send doctors TO the devil, com
mend myself to Christ and am well in
three days. "-Gentleman' Magazine.

RAIN AND RAINMAKERS.
About Spring Showers aud Summer Down
pours.

lOurs.
Every spring. as regularly as April
rolls around. there is a shortage of
rainfall. March is very dry month
also as compared to May. Some times
February. March and April are all dry.
So every spring for years the Eagle
has called attention to this fact and
as regularly the next April following
there viii come a cry all along the
line for rain. People after a while
maybe, will learn that it's the lack of
rainfall in the latter part of July and
August only which now and then beats
Kansas. There need be no apprehen-
sion about the lack of early summer
rains. Only in one year, that of 1860.
did the summer rains fail. y local
correspondent contributs the follow
ing:

large territory to spread over, too
