READY TO BOX JOHNSON.

corcoran, Manager Of Smoky City
Heavy-Weight, Accepts Def Of
Champion for Bout.
Pittsburg, Jan. 23.--Billy COrcoran,
manager for Kid Cotton. the Pittsbnrg
negro heavyweight, has accepted the
chauange OF Jack johnson, champion
of the world, and said that Cotton
would fight Johnson in, one week or
tomorrow If necessary. but that If they
met he thought the battle would take
place in March or April
Corcoran said he was willing to meet
Johnson at any place In the country
for from six to twenty rounds, but
that he would not put up $4,000 against
Johnson's $4,000, as Cotton is novice
and any man would beffoolish to bet
such large sum on novice against
worlds champion.
It is probable that Johnson and Cot
ton will have six round go in Pitts
burg.

A.subsoiler makes the subsoil more
pervious to water and plant roots. A
subsoiler is not intended to bring the
subsoil to the surface; in fact I believe
ii would be detriment rather than a
benefit to the crop to do SO, as subsoil
is usually devoid Of humus.
1t does, however, create loose con-
dition whereby water is rapidly absorbed
instead of running away on the surface
often washing the land and carrying
the fertility with it.
In nearly all Of the West the subsoil
must be loosened up to sufficient depth
to admit Of the percolation Of all the
water that falls.
Whenever the farmer can go out on
his plowed fields, regardless of how hard
it is raining, and see any water escap-
ing, his ground has not been plowed or
subsoiled deep enough. know, by
observation and actual experience, that
a subsoil opened up to a depth Of IS
inches will absorb all the moisture that
comes in any Of our downpours of rain.
The farmer who began subsoiling a
few years ago and has by proper cul-
tural methods conserved as much of the
moisture as possible, has succeeded in
soaking up this dry blanket formation,
made the connection between the mois-
ture below and the moisture above, and
made it possible for the water to rise by
capilarity, and with fine, well-frmed
seed bed, raised good crops, producing
as much as 81 bushels of good, market
able wheat to the acre. And by the
use OF the subsoil plow and practicing
the up-to-date dry farming methods, the
so called semiarid countries Of the West
will raise as good crops every year as
are being raised in the more humid dis
tricts. Dry Farming Congress Bulletin.
