Dry Farming.

The present method of dry farming il
to pillow the land year before any
|icrops are planted 'The soil is broker
to a considerable depth. Disk subsoi,
plows break the soil and pack it into {,
firm ned, leaving sort of hard-pan
through which water cannot ssep
away. Moreover, this we'll backed. sub
|soil prevents the excessive salts that lii,
flour or five feet below the surface from
rising by evaporation. These salts
have been the agencies for burning and
Eblighting all vegetation. The surface
soil is then pulverized and cultivated
until it is as fine as powder. This acts
as a mulch so that'when the SHOWS and
rains of the wet season fall they arr
held there by the finely pulverized
mulch. The moisture cannot leak
/ through the hardpan, and the secret
/ Of the system then is to prevent it's
evaporation.
The principle is to work and till the
;surfaee soil continually so that like
wet sponge it can hold the moisture
The work never stops on the land, and
after every rain the surface sold must
! be pulverized anew For year the
land is treated by this endless process
of cultivation which always keeps the
surface soft moist and soft. Then
comes the seeding and more cultiva-
.tion until the plants occupy the land
The cultivation must continue until the
plants are large enough to act as their
own mulch. In the harvest season,
the crops are garnered, and immediate
-ly the pillow and harrow are put in the
field again, to prepare the land for the
next seasons crop. 1t is then allowed
to lie fallow until seeding time.-Thc

THE WRECK OF THE MAINE.

The San Francisco Chronicle says;
Provisional Governor Mngoon. who is
about TO turn over the Government or
Cuba to the people OF that island and
depart with his soldiers. reports that
the wreck of the Maine is causing
shoals In an important section OF the
harbor OF Havana, that the wreck con-
tains the remains Of sixty-three Am
erican sailors and that the failure to
remove It has become reproach to
our Government and an international
scandal. 1t is alleged that the United
States Government does not dare re-
move 1t, lest 1t be found that 1t was
wrecked by an interior explosion. and
that the Cuban Government does not
remove it lest it be found that the
ship was sunk by a torpedo. Mean
time the remains OF the ship obstruct
navigation and the scandal grows.
The wreck should be removed. what
ever the removal may disclose. 1t may
not be the duty Of this country to re-
move the remains of q vessel sunk in
a supposed friendly port and while
under the protection Of supposed
friendly nation. but the scandal Is such
that II the Cuban Government does
not remove it the United States should
do so; and the proper thing. under the
circumstances, is for the two govern
ments to act jointly. Nobody ever
imagined that the Spanish Govern
ment ever knew any more about the
catastrophe than our own, A good
many have imagined that the wreck
was the work of dastardly Cuban i'll
surgents who were willing to slaugh-
ter those who were even then almost
ready to take up arms in their behalf
In order to bring on crisis. If such
were the case. there are doubtless
those connected with the Cuban Gov
ernment who know all about 1t. A tor
pedo capable OF working such havoc
as was wrought in the Maine could
not be constructed. brought into place
and discharged by any single or any
ordinary miscreant.
1t is time that the truth about the
destruction Of the Maine were known.
II 1t were caused by an internal exploa-
inx oh frof MI
SO, IL the ship we're wrecked by tor
pedo. It can be settled by raising and
removing the wreck and no other way.
And action ought to be taken at once.

EDISON sTILL AT WORK.

We have an idea that Thomas A Ed
Ison is the best advertiser In the coun'
try, says the Joplin News-Herald. only
a few short months ago he announced
that henceforth no intended to quit his
industrial inventive work and apply
himself to unraveling number OF In
teresting propositions he had discov-
cred in his laboratories. He intimated
that his chief interest would be in
chemistry.
Now comes a dispatch from New
York stating that Edison has proved
conclusiyely that his new storage bat
terry Is a success. Next spring he In
tends to place 1t in a surface car on
the New York system and see whether
1t Will stand up under the heavy traf"
fic of that city. Three or four years
ago he said his battery would supDlant
the average battery constructed or
lead and zinc. His new battery Is
made of nickle, and the reaction is
alkaline and not acid. The heaviest
trucks have proved successful and the
batteries have suffered no diminution
In power.
One of the ideals Of the inventor
has been the self-propelllng vehicle
that shall be suitable for taking the
place of the trolley wires. The So
called motor car has proved partial
success. though the pounding of the
machinery has been q hindrance to
its development. II Edison really has
produced battery that shall fulflll
the claims made in It's behalf, the
world will be the richer.
