STUDY OF THE SOIL.

The injunction, ''know thyself," is not
more important than the one Of ssknow thy
soil,' if addressed to the progressive, wide
awake farmer. Ii anything deserves study
it is the earth, for fromit we derive the means
Of subsistence and, though it is mine of
wealth, we should know it's exact condition
and not draw from it in the form of grain or
root crops, more than we return in the form
OF manure knowledge Of the soil may
be made of great practical benefit to the
thinking farmer. For instance, if his soil is
formed by the decomposition of granite
rock, he can ascertain with little trouble
what are the constituents Of that rock, and
what are the special manures that will be
most likely to prove Of benefit in keeping
up its fertility. 1t is by the study of the soil
of any particular formation that the farmer
comes to understand it, and knows how to
cultivate it to better advantage than any
other

country here in the west, do not however
indicate positively the character of the soil
on the surface. The rocks which ordinarily
show themselves Oh the surface are covered.

tinent, tearing away hills, scooping out val
leys, crumbling away various strata of rock
and depositing their materials in different
and often distant localities.
1t is not supposed nor expected that the
practical farmer will undertake to analize
his soil himself, for it would be so inaccurate
as to be nearly valueless. Yet he can deter
mime some of its physical properties, its re-
lation to atmospherical agency, its diminu-
ton Of bulk on drying, its properties to re-
tain heat, ETC., by simple apparatus recon-
mended by Prof. Kuhn, director of the Ag-
ricultural College at Halle, Saxony:
"The apparatus proper consists of a glass
bottle and tube, connected by piece of rub
ber tube The glass tube is closed by a good
cork at one end, and is marked off in cubic
centimetres ila this one present, although
any measure can be employed. It is known
that the physical properties of the soil de-
pend largely upon the percentage of coarse

THE LOVE AND CULTURE OF FLOWERS


Nothing is so pleasant and encouraging
as success, and no success quite so satisfying
as success in the culture of flowers. If isa
pleasure with no compensating pain-one
which purifies while it pleases. We gaze
on the beautiful plants and brilliant flowers
with delicious commingling of admiration
ana love. They are the offspring of our
lore-thought, taste and care-a new myste-
llous and glorious creation. They grew
truly but very like the stars and the rainbow.
a few short weeks ago the brown earthv

peopled with the fairest and frailest Of earth,s

INTO forms of matchless beauty, and crystal
lzed the dew drops into gems of loveliness.
Ihere is no greater pleasure than this in

OF pleasures, the fruit of good deeds.

PLANTING TREES.

|. TAAN 11NG IkEES.
With the expenditure of few davs' labor
in planting out trees, the farmer may mate
rally enhance the value and appearance of
his farm.
The cottonwood and quaking-asp, which
grow in abundance along our streams, are of
quick growth, and if planted along the irri-
eating bitches, will, in a few years, grow
large enough to be of much benefit. The
work of planting can be done during the
fall and winter months, at times when there
is no particular rush of work.
In q few years, when our Territory will
have become thickly populated, and the vast
area of valuable farming lands which are
now unclaimed are settled upon, timber for
building and fencing purposes will doubtless
be scarce, and trees set out this winter will
come in good use for repairing fences.
Aside from this, there are many other ad-
vantages to be derived from the planting and
cultivation of timber A row of cotton
woods, locusts or some equally rapid and
hardy growers, encircling the farms of our
valleys would add to their value and serve
to bcautlfy our homes. The timber would
shield us from the strong winds which sweep
through our country in the summer, and
provide shelter for stock in winter.
The following is what an Englishman
says about horseradish:
''There is in most garden establishments
a great demand for horseradish, and espec-
tally at the present season. The plant is, in
many gardens, placed in some obscure cor
ner where few things could exist. and the
produce from such situations is genarally
very inferior. If the following simple meth
cd is adopted, fine, straight, clean sticks can
be produced in ten months that will measure
from five to eight inches in circumference
Any time in February, take small, straight
pieces of the root, the size of the little fin
ger, or little less, and from eight to four
teen inches in length. Take off all the side
roots and buds that may be seen, and then
in an open situation prepare piece of ground
by well manuring and deep digging plant
the roots in rows three feet apart, and from
twelve to eighteen inches in the row. They
must be planted in a nearly horizontal posi-
ton, and about two inches beneath the sur
face. Keep the ground at all times free from
weeds, and by the end of October sticks
such as above mentioned will be the result,
in half the time that it would take by the
old method of planting cuttings of the roots
from eighteen to twenty inches Deep The
roots, being placed SO near the surface of
the ground, enjoy the full influence of the
sun-heat, and hence the rapid growth.

MURDER.
A Colored Man Found Dead on North
Market Street With Two
) 6hastly Wounds.
Arrest Of the Murderer.

Officer Collins, while patroling his bea', be-
tween the hours of and 6 O'Clock Tuesday
morning, and when on North Market street,
between Fulton and Peters. found the dead
body of q colored man named Ruben Dixon,
living in the middle of the street. An exami-
nation Of the body disclosed the. fact that he
had been murdered some time during Mon
day night He was stabbed twice. once in the
left side of the neck and once in the abdomen.
Both wounds presented a CHASTITY appear
o ance, and either of them would have caused
death .slm ost instantly. From the appearance
of the wounds it would seem that the stab
, bing was dons with some sharp instrument,
supposed to be a razor. The officer, imme-
distely after discovering that the man had
been killed. investigated the matter, and re-
ceived information from some of the inmates
of 'house opposite where the body was
found to the effect that the man had been
killed by colored man named Henry Woods,
at late hour on Monday night
The two parties had met in Henrietta Har-
ris's room, cother of Peters and North Market
streets, where they got into difficulty. and
repaired to the street to fight 1t out. Woods,
the accused, was arrested shortly afterwards
and locked up in the Central Station, charged

killing Reuben Dixon. Henrietta Harris and
John Richardson, ths'inmates of the house
where the di ificulty occurred, were also ar
rested and detained as witnesses in the Gem
trail Station.
Henrietta Harris states that shc was in the
room with the deceased, Reuben Dixon, about
80 o'clock Monday night when Woods
came in and commenced to quarrel with Rsu-
ben. A scuffie took place IN the room. and
they went down stairs together to fight it out
Oh the street. / shut my door after they left
and did not see Reuben again until saw him
dead on the street.
John Richardson states that his room is
next to Henrietta's room. About half past IL
o'clock Monday night he was in bed. when he
heard some one talking very loud in the next
rsom; did not pay much attention until he
heard the parties scufflng; he got up and
opened the door, and saw Woods and Dixon
scufiing on the street; he paid no more
attention TO them, as they were in the habit
of fighting, and shut his door; did not see
him stab the deceased, but am positive that l
saw them scuffiiRg together.
Coroner Chastant has been notified and will
hold an inquest.
