The pump-ing of these waters will be inexpensively done,by harnessing to the work the ever-presentbreezes, which, shot through and through withsunshine, are wafted across our broad prairies and give the ideal healthful climate for all breathing things, and for developing the choicestgrowths of grain, fruit, and flower. By means of subsoiling and deep tillage there will be stored in the soil, for use when most needed, much of the usually sufficient yearly rain-fall heretofore permitted to waste itself and do actual damage as run-off. The wonderful plant alfalfa is proving itself not only one of the most satisfactory, useful, and profitable field crops known to our WHEAT HARVESTING SOUTH OP LARXED, PAWNEE LOlNTT. KANSAS.
