THOUGHTS FOR FARMERS.
Subsoiling.

If the writer could persuade one-ffth of the
readers of The Progressive Farmer to begin sub
soiling their clay lands in systematic way he
would be greatly gratifed. We have just in
spected six-horse farm, of which has been
subsoiled during the last three years There had
been rain the farm for five weeks. On the
land that had been plowed with two-horse plows,
disc plow and subsoiler, the cotton larger and
greener than on similar land not subsoiled. The
year after land was subsoiled there little diff
ference IN the crops. but 1T is telling this dry
weather. There eight-acre lot planted in
cotton. The land light sandy soil, rather

plenty of humus in it, the hard pan was struck,
and it was certainly hard. The tenant was in

I noticed that when it rained the water stood

winter that field will have two or three inches OF
the hard pan broken and next spring the cotton
will not die
Rotation Of Crops
The danger is that 10 cent cotton will drive far

ACROSS THE CONTINENT.
IX-Through the Rocky Mountains and Up Pixies
Peak.

Next week I shall have something to say about
Utah Salt Lake City, and the Mormons; this
week shall give some random notes of my trip
homeward.
On this return trip the Rocky Mountains nat
uraly impressed me more than anything else.
They have an individuality all their own; wild,
savage defiant, they will carry through the ages
the subtle suggestion of the old untamed life OF
the Indian the buffalo. and the pioneer The
land on either hand will become populous as
is the East to-day, and civilization. tame and
formal will press itself to their very base; but the
Rockies themselves will never be civilized Prlml-
tive, naked, chaotic, they typify forever the OLD
Wild West; and they different from the
green, trim gently sloping ranges of New York
and New England as Boston schoolmarm IS from
Colorado cowboy.
With the refinement and sweetness OF the
White Mountains and Adirondocks they have
nothing to do-these rugged, brawny. sky-plerc-
ing giants of the West. Our widest Alleghanles
with their wooded slopes would be tenderfeet out
in Colorado Nature was mad, drunk, riotlng,
red in tooth and claw with ravine" when she
piled these fierce gaunt peaks, and tore open the
earh's rocky bosom with canyons and burrows g1-
gantic.
The Rocky Mountains are well named. VI
our eastern ranges you remember the beauty OF
the hurrying streams the green woods, the cultl-
waited valleys. Of the Sierras you remember the
stately forests of fir and cedar, Lebanon-like. But
Of the Rockies you remember the rocks.
In every shape and form the rocks are here In
the Canyon of the Grand River they are piled III
sheer colossal walls a half mile above your head
and you begin to realize what an insignificant
atom YOU are. Here it is-layer after layer
stratum after stratum, like petrifed lumber pile
0rownish red; and you imprisoned down at the
oottom doll-man in the hands of giants Ii
other places the rocks are not in LAYERS at all
but boulders piled on boulders, Pelion on Ossa
Oog on Magog, riot of elemental confusion ane
disorder In yet other places you see no mor'

as big as township or two. Here again is mol
ten rock, sea of lava belched out by some vol
cano ages and ages ago.
The dullest imagination cannot fail to be stirred
by this carnival in stone The rocks take on fan
tastic shapes. Giants and Titans look down on
you from the SUBMITS; grotesque mammoths and
monsters carved on the mountain side; here
is shin ready to launch; and a thousand feet
above you is walled city with massive towers and
battlements, its grim castles dimly seen within.
We saw no forests in the Rockies except along
the banks of the snow-fed rivers, if I remember
correctly, until we came to Colorado Springs
in the Canyon of the Grand, or about Royal
Gorge or Tennessee Pass. Where the rocks failed
for time, they gave way to great clod mountains,
barren and CALLED, much like those we had seen
in the desert. It was a July day. but on the
peaks beside snow-storm raging, and the
first section of train, coming out of a tunnel,
found itself in a cloud of fast-falling fakes.
Away off on either hand were blue peaks, snow
clad, and 1 shall always regret that it was too
cloudy for us to see the Mount of the Holy Cross.
'fPike's Peak or bust' was the motto of many
a pioneer in the old days, and made it our
motto, too. And we didn't bust. Ten o'clock on
this July morning found the writer, thickly-clad
as an Esqui1naux balling his fellow travellers
from Indiana and North Carolina-and incident
ally getting snow-balled in return The night be-
fore the thermometer had gone below zero, and
the summer wind on the tower this July morning
numbed my fingers and bit and blanched nv face
so shrewdly that I did not stay long to watch the
scenery through the telescope.
Seeing Pixies Peak from Colorado Springs, l
was rather disappointed in it-forests at the
| base, but beyond this a naked, quilted, snow
| streaked and wind-swept desolation Of rocks. L
had expected another Shasta, its last 1000 feet
| wrapped deep in perpetual white. But the disap-
| pointment vanishes as you ascend the Peak or see
| the wonders from it's summit.
| About the mountain itself two things are es-
| specially impressive-the grim, picturesque, al
most human struggle of the trees for existence at
the timber line, and the acres of yellow volcanic
rocks beyond, unrelieved by a single speck OF
green. Rocks I had grown accustomed to, how
| ever while I had never before this struggle

| gods. Beyond ,579 feet it is too cold for even
the hardest shrub to live, and here the timber
line ends almost abrutly. Like army, the tree
growth seems to be storming some enemy up the
mountain slope and the foremost ones, those that
| have left the main line and dashed ahead, seem
to have kinship with human heroes-ragged

that should brand the author of the
job as public enemy.
Goodness knows that there has been
little enough public spirit displayed in
park reservations on this island. Years
have been required to bring Kapiolani
Park to anything approaching its pres.
ent condition. The public shut.out
from the whole Waikiki beach except
by the permission of private holders is
an everlasting blot on the commu.
nifty, an example of selfish greed
of private citizens and narrow, short
sighted official policies of the past.
Not one single competent argument
can be offered against action by the
present Legislature favorable to the
Tantalus park reservation. The jus
tice of 1t is all on the side Of the peo
pie. Failure of the measure will be to
the everlasting discredit of the Terri
torial Legislature of 1905.

THE TANTALUs PARK ITBM.

Every public spirited citizen should
take an active interest In promoting
the passage OF the Tantalus park meas.
ure by the Legislature. For those not
public-spirited. this furnishes good
opportunity to practise.
Every person with the slightest con.
fidence in Hawaii believes that this
city is due to expand It's borders. The
time is not far distant when nearby
outing spots for the general public
will be in demand. In the last five
years 1t is safe to estimate that the
number Of people who go to Tantalus
Heights for days outing has increas'
ed hundred per cent. During the
same period the place has become the
site for mountain homes Of the more
well.to-do. II Is not stretching the
limitations Of probabilities to predict
that suburban railway connections
will be made with the Heights before
many more years.
In all this scheme OF present and
prospective expansion some regard
must be had for the people who can,
not AFFORD carriages or private homes
on the Heights. The land, the park
site, is now available. The opportu.
nifty is not only here to protect the
comfort of the people but to show that
the representatives of the people are
imbued with a fair degree Of public
spirited foresight. Every years delay
threatens the possibilities of the parl,
reservation. It is preposterous to hold
that the land in question can be devot
ed to any better purpose than the
pleasures Of the people. II any portion
OF this land is alienated to private
holders, 1t will be a public disgrace
