ABOUT BEERMAN.

The Topeka correspondent Of the
Gazette during the session OF the legis-
lature wrote very flatteringly of Hon.
J. V. Beekman. the member from
Cowley. The Clyde Herald quotes.
and thus comments:

than the Rev. Beekman, a Christian min
lister, that several years ago preached
a series of sermons in the Presbyterian
church OF this place, also at the close
of them, delivered lecture in the NJ. f.
church on temperance and prohibition.

DEEP SUB-SOILING.

The experiments of Kansas farmers
in various sections of the state, for the
past two years in the new style of
sub-soiling have proved so universally
successful that there is almost more
talk now about sub-soiling than about
irrigation. The Kansas City Gazette
man says that experience has taught
that sub-soiling or deep plowing is
better than irrigation. Ground that
was broken up and loosened by the
sub-soiler TO the depth of twelve or
fifteen inches or even deeper produced
splendid crops even in the driest
years. Secretary Morton also is
strong advocate of sub-soiling or plow-
ing to the deepest depth possible. He
cites some experiments made by
M5ssrs. Young * Co, and urges farm
erS insted Of digging bitches To sub
soil and cultivate thoroughly. In
this vicinity where there is no thought
Of attempting irrigation, but where
crops are frequently seriously dam
aged by droughts, this advice seems
TO be specially APPLICABLE.
