The Practice OF subsoillng.

The practice Of subsoiling cannot be
advised as an operation sure to benefit
all soils, says Rural New Yorker. 1t is
useful in stiff, heavy soils, where the
subsoil is SO tough and compacted that
water will not flow readily through it,
The subsoil plow opens up this tough
mass and permits q much freer circula-
tion Of water. In soil with an open,
porous subsoil, with the particles grow
ing larger as we go deeper, subsoiling
would be the worst thing that could be
done, because it would hasten the pas
sage Of water, while the object Of the
farmer should be to retain it, On these
light soils, especially in droughty dis
tricts, a mere scratching Of the surface
is the best tillage. Many farmers went
from Eastern farms to Dakota and Ne
braska and plowed the sod as deep as
they did in their former locations. They
thus ruined the soil, and were unable
to get it in grass again. At home they
had heavy rainfalls and a tough subsoil,
while in the new place the conditions
were exactly opposite, and they ruined
the soils capacity for holding water,

QUIXOTIC QUAKERS.
A Novel and Charming Event in Basis
Hall Tuesday
Night.

One of the prettiest events of tho season
in the entertainment line was tha church
benefit, last evening, given under the
auspices of the st. Pauls' Episcopal con.
gregation, and under the instruction of
Mrs. Merriman. A good sized audience
was assembled in Basts hall to see and
enjoy the quaint little musical farce,
"Quixotic Quakers," and as the program
included some of Canton's best entertain
ers, they were not disappointed.
The program opened with piano solo
by Mrs. Cyril Ellison, which was very
well received.
The skipping rope dance, executed by
Miss Laura johnson, vas charming and
demonstrated that litsle lady's talent in
the terpsichorean art
The vocal duet, When Papa Comes
Home" was pr9stlly rendered by the
Misses Carrie ana Lucy Hassoldt, and the
Fairy dance by Baby Detmcring was to
say the least, cute.
Miss BlanCh Brenneman, the we'll
known eloOutionist, made the hit of the
evening in q fine rendition of a descrip-
tive army recitation, with piano accom-
paniment Of national airs played in q
monotone. Miss Brenneman was heartily
encored and responded with another short
selection
Miss Carrie Hassoldt was down on the
program for solo dance, which won loud
applause.
The first part of the entertainment
closed with solo, He was Prince" by
Mrs. Leonard Betz. Mrs. Betz is well
known as an excellent entertainer, and
her selection was appreciated.
The curtain then rose on the "Quixotic
Quakers. Miss Camille Will, as the
charming Rebecca; Miss EfIie Teegarden
as Rachel; Miss Olive Mclean as Ruth
Miss Katie Williams as Sarah, ana Miss
Bertha Hassoldt as Hannah, composed
the principals of the play, while Miss
Edith Baumont, Miss Jeanette Lyon,
and Miss Nellie Williams as Elizabeth,
May and Alice respectively, carried their
parts well,
The parson, was represented by Mr..
George Chance, who was in love with Re,
beccca. Ruebcn with Mr.. G. II. Summer,
rell in that role, was Success. The love
scenes were affecting, especially to the
risibles, as the enthusiastic applause OF
the audience proved. The various solos
were beautifully rendered, those Of Miss
viii, Miss Teegarden and Messrs. Chance
and Summerell being loudly encored.
The affair was success financially as
we'll as artlstlcally, and the ladies are
to be highly commended Mrs. Cyril
Ellison and Miss Florence Moses acted as
accompanies.
