Rome, Sept. 25.-King Humbert and
Queen Margherita started for Monza this
evening. The cabinet ministers, members
Of the Chamber Of Deputies and many
high officials bade farewell to their ma
jesties at the railway station
The government has published docu-
ments containing the communications
that passed between Italy and the vati-
can after the entry of the Italian troops
into Rome IN 1870. Signor Blanc, who
was then under secretary, and who con-
Quoted the negotiations with Cardinal
Antonelli, instigated the publication.
The documents show that the Italian
government throughout was willing to
make every concession that would ensure
the liberty and independence of the pope,
while the vatican. apparently in order
to maintain a pretext for complaining
that the pope had been deprived OF his
liberty refused to accept any of the
proffered concessions. The documents
excite much interest.

looking about him cautiously and at the
outside wall OF the package he held was
surprised to find ne was possibly right
the first time He went to the door and
raped in loud tone. There was no
answer, and he tried it again. He sat
down on the step and waited half an
hour. Then he waited another half hour
and finally raped again.
He had not lost his reputation as
sure thing. It was evidently the wrong
place. 1t didn't look like a dwelling

would go across the street and ask

nothing. After supper Charley str ged

coat over to its owner, who had an invi-

RAIN is OUT OF SIGHT
So We Plough With Dynamite-in
Kansas.
AFTER BLOWING UP THE SOIL
There is No More Farmers' TOiI-ir
Kansas.

There is No More Farmers TOiI-in
Kansas.
Kansas always comes to the front with
something new. We are now dynamiting
the earth instead of blowing it. John
Hughes of Newton has a plan that he
says beats all the irrigation propositions
YET submitted to the people.
Mr. Hughes says when his method of
farming is adopted that hundred bush
els of corn to the acre in this section of
Kansas will be the rule rather than the
exception.
Hughes plan is to loose the sub-soil to
a depth of three feet. and this he will do
by means of dynamite cartridges, He
will drive an iron bar about the size of
the rod used in the endgate of wagon
and then put in a dynamite cartridge,
which is about the size of lead pencil.
and explode it
The cartridges will be put in certain
distance apar,, on say ten acres, and all
exploded at the same time and the
ground will be raised up and thoroughly
pulverized for q depth OF three leet.
The California fruit growers have tried
this on ground to be planted to trees aud
have found it great success. Mr.
Hughes says that one man raised
eighty bushels of corn to the acre
on ground loosened up with dyna
mite and the corn was watered
but once after planting and the car
tridges to do the work cost 50 per acre.
Hughes says that such a shaking up OF
the ground as is obtained by the dyna-
mite process will leave the subsoil 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.
From a Sumner county paper it is
learned that the system of dynamiting
holes for fruit trees is being prosecuted
successfully there. 1t says:
J. W. Wells and T. K. Miller have met
with remarkably good success in break
ing up the hard subsoiL
After the discharge of a stick of the
explosive in the bottom CT a two and

easily pushed down into the soil five feet,
and twenty-five gallons of water was
poured into the hole before the least
showing of water appeared in the bot
tom of the original two and half foot
hole. 1t costs IA cents a charge to shoot
a hole if a whole stick of dynamite is
used, but half a stick will do effective
work if well tamped
