HARD SUBSOIL.

Some soils are liable to a very pecu
liar formation in the subsoil, which
soon renders them totally unfit for
profitable cultivation. It is found that,
at depth varying from eight or nine
inches TO a foot or more, there has been
formed layer Of substance as hard as
stone, quite iDpervious to water and
to the roots OF plants, and entirely cut
ting IF the topsoil from ccmmunica
tiOn with the subsoil. This layer Is
called pan. Before the soil can be
properly worked the pan must be
broken up, en- operation not by any
means always performed, but if once
performed never reform. On such
soils eubsoiliDg is prevention OF ruin to
the soils.
A willow stake pushed into the soil
in early spring, while it is yet moist
from the effects of winter freezing and
thawing, will alrnOet certainly grow,
and after two or three years it will be

Senior TrujIlo. another patriot, is con
stantly receiving Information from all
parts of the island. Speaking Of the bar

said today:

Neither Senior TrujillO nor Senior Castillo
could say what, IL any. action the juuta

tivity noticeable at headquarters. the in
ference is drawn that reinforcements are
likely TO be sent to the Cubans from this
