The thFesbers are telling the story
Of the benefits Of deep blowing in a
mannerthst should thoroughly explode
the mistaken idea that good crops can
be raised from land that has been 8
stranger to the plOwshars since it vas
first broken. Year after year thousands
Of acres Of Sherman county land has
been scratched over with harrow aud
disc and seeded to wheat. So long as
the failures continued it made no diff
ference, but this year a crop was raised
and the big yields have invariably come
from fields we'll plOwed. The BrOsna-
hans Of Grant township used sub
soiler on 60 acres Of corn ground and
are so we'll pleased with the experiment
that they will double the acreage next
year. The secret Uf success in the
semi-bumid region of Kansas is to
pillow deep, plow we'll and harrow the
soil until it's surface is as fiGe as dust.
The farmers are learning this and the
great number engaged in blowing at
the present time is a very encouraging
sign OF future success.

GREATEST STEAMSHIP AFLoAr

AND ALSO THE sWGFrEsT -sOHE
SLIGHT IDEA OF HER IMMENSELY,
The Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse ar
rived at New York Sunday, making the
shortest western trip recorded, The d.
menslons of the Kaiser Wilhelm der
Gorsse are as follows Length all over,
64S feet, beam, 50 feet, depth, 43 feet,
tonnage 1900 and displacement 10000
tons. These measurements exceed
those of all vessels Of all other nations.
and the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse can
therefore justly claim to be the largest
vessel OF the world. II is expected that
she viii prove a very comfortable sea
vessel, as ner great length will 10 cer-
tain extent counterfeit the pitching mo-
ton. The vessel possesses a double
bottom that is divided into twenty-five
subdivisions, extending over the entire
length of the ship, and providing a
great protection to the ships bottom.
In addition to all thesesaHety appliances
the steamer will be provided with TWEEN
ty-four large life-boats, placed upon
the awning deck, ready for immediate
use. 1t should be mentioned that the
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse has been
built In accordance with the require
ments OF the imperial German navy de-
partment, and will In case OF war be
fitted with large number OF guns and
enter the German naval service as a
cruiser.
1t Is expected that this new steamer
will develop very high rate Of speed,
The fine lines Of the steamer with her
four enormous smoke-sracks point in
that direction. The motive power con>
sists of two triple-eXpansion engines,
each working on four Cranks, with four
steam cylinders, one behind the other,
balanced by the SChlick system. and
constructed by the Vulcan Ship Build
Ing Company, of Stettln. the builders of
the hull. The diameterof the cylinders is
as follows: High pressure cylinder, 50
inches; two low pressure cylinders,
96la inches; intermediate cylinder, S9A
inches. The two engines are separated
by awater-t tight longitudinal bulk head.
The two three-bladed propelers meas
ure % feet 3A inches In diameter, with a
pitch OF 80 feet 10 inches. They ar con-
structed of bronze, and each weighs
twenty-six tons. The crank shafts and
screw shafts, which measure "a inches
in diameter. are made by Krupp OF Es-
sen, OF the best nickel steel. material,
as Is well known, of extraordinary
strength. The length OF the shafting Is
1913 feet.
The furnishings in the cabins and
saloons are the finest OF any vessel
anoat, and every modern idea and de-
vice has been employed to enhance the
comfort and safety Of the passengers.

The latest Information concerning the
programme of the United States toward
Spain with reference to the Cuban ques-
ton. II true indicates that this govern
ment will pursue a practical course
which will accomplish the end sought
without danger of war with Spain.
The purpose Of this government, In the
event OF Spain refusing the kindly offices
OF the United States for the restoration
OF peace, is announced to be an "Unos-
tentatlous proclamation to the world OF
dlsapproval OF the Cuban regime by sus-
pending diplomatic relations with Spain
and withdrawing the United States min
lister from Madrid"
Such a course pursued by the United
States would have the direct effect OF
placing the Spanish at such dlsadvan-
tage In their conduct Of the war In Cuba
that they would be forced almost at once
to terms with the Insurgents. Fllibus-
terlng expeditions could be organized In
this colHtfy, and men and munitions OF
war shAa without interference from
this go"siliment. The result would only
be n matter OF very short time. Spain
would be practically without resources
to prevent the assistance OF the Cubans,
and would soon be brought to realize
that her only hope would lie In granting
to Cuba the peace and Independence she
demands.
There is no means at present Of know
ing whether the dispatches which convey
this Information are any more reliable
than those which preceded them There
has MS yet been no public announcement
Of the exact programme II would be
mnnlfestly unwlso to make such an.
nounccment until the Spanish govern
mcnt has replied TO the message deliver
ed by Minister Woodford, but there IA
reason 10 believe that the administration
has shaped its policy with n view to
bringing the whole matter to an end M
speedily and as peacefully az possible.
Future Developments win be- watched
with great interest on the two continents
