The diver in his round goggle-eyed
helmet, leaden-soled boots, and bloat-
ed-looking India rubber suit, is more
or less familiar object at our great
seaports. The diver is a recognized
member of the ships company of ev-
cry man-of-war of the present day.
In the records of the Spanish Ar
mazda there is mention of diver" be
ing sent from one ship to another. But
this diver was probably only a man
who was expert in swimming and div
ing, and not provided with a special
diving dress enabling him to stay un-

The query was submitted to Prof
John Fields, director of the Oklahoma
Experiment Station, at Saltwater, Ok,
who replies as follows:
| gather from the inquiry that the
soil in question is underlaid with a
tough subsoil through which water
penetrates very poorly. TIE soil of
the Experiment Station farm is very
similar In character and experiments
with sub-soiling conducted several
years ago showed that the results did
not warrant continuance of the extra
labor of subsoiling The better plan
seems to be TO pillow such land quite
deeply. at least to inches, and give
1t thorough cultivation before plant
ing or seeding crop. Such methods of
preparation result in excellent yields
of wheat If the blowing is done early
but If blowing is delayed until late in
the fall, deep blowing usually results
in smaller yields than shallow blowing.
would not advise subsoiling such
land for ordinary farm crops.

When Baby Alice first saw a COW
