Dr. Lawes of Rothampstead, Eng, found in
course of his experiments in wheat growing,
that certain field would produce 10 bushels
of wheat annually, per acre, without the APP
plication of any manure whatever. The ap-
plication of q small amount of nitrogen ena-
bled him to double the crop, showing that for
the time being, at least, nitrogen was in less
supply than the other required elements. But
he also found that if he added the nitrogen
in the form of stable manure, he was apply
ing 1t at an expense four or five times as
great as if he applied it in the form Of sui
phate of ammonia. The lesson taught by
such experiments is that there is no best ma
nure or fertilizer for oil soils, nor is the same
manure certain to be the best for a given soil
in all years. The soil is constantly changing
under cultivation and cropping and the most
intelligent system of manuring is one which
supplies just what the present crop requires
in order to reach a maximum growth Sell
ing beets and potatoes soon exhausts o soil of
its potash, and therefore potash must be ap-
piled freely, or else some other crop grown
that will require less.-N. h. Farmer.

hens lay extremely large eggs, and others

1t becomes necessary again, in behalf of
an interested public, to call the attention of
the chairman of the gas committee, or who
ever has the matter in charge, to the irregu-
larity in the lighting of the gas
lamps on the streets. Last
night, at the very time when it
was raining, dark and gloomy, the lamps,
even on Gay street and in the main portion
of the city, were not lighted until after 9
o'clock, long after dark, and, as there was
no moon, the darkness was very percepti-
BILE, and wonderfully inconvenient to those
who had to be about, especially
attending prayer meeting, and for other
purposes. After the hard rain of the
afternoon the sidewalks were full of pud-
dies of water, and it was extremely difficult
to get around through the darkness with
out splashing into them.
Now. if these Irregularities were only oc.
casional occurrences, they might be looked
over, but they are SO frequent, and the in
conveniences arises therefrom so great, that
some remedy is demanded by public, who
have to suffer thereby

ANOTaER GAME SPOILED.


Base Ball Contest Drowned Out---The
Game Played To-day.
The lovers of sport and amusement, in
the base ball line, were doomed to another
disappointment yesterday afternoon. The
Eckfords, of Memphis, and the Condons, of
our city, were expected to play the first
game of the contest, and another large
crowd was gathered, and was
gathering on. the grounds south of the river.
The diamond was found to be in excellent
condition, both clubs were on hands in high
glee and good spirits, eager for the fray,
and an interesting game was anticipated,
but just as the players were stationed and
ready to commence operations, a violent storm
of rain, which had only been threatened for
few minutes, was suddenly precipitated
upon the crowd. This caused general
stampede to the covered seats at the race
track headquarters, which afforded an ex-
cuse for shelter, at least. Many were
caught without umbrellas, however, and
were pretty badly besprinkled and be-
draggled before reaching shelter, SO sudden
was the coming up of the storm.
The rain for a few minutes was very
heavy and it continued all the afternoon,
thus breaking up the game effectually.
Those who were fortunate enough to have
conveyance, or secure passage in Bells
bus, which was on hands, soon reached the
city, and others had to wait for return Of
conveyances, or wade the mud as best they
could.
The match game will, however, certainly
be played this afternoon, provided there Ii
no more rain, or other providential hind
rance, and will be called at $3.50 o'clock
Inasmuch as the Memphis boys have game
arranged to be played with the Oscal
Wildes, at Cleveland, tomorrow, this after
noon will be the last chance for our people
to see them play. If the weather is good
the1e will be large turnout, no doubt
Maloughney and Woodward will be the
Eckfords' catch and pitch to-day, and they
will get in some good work.

Tennessee is the largest that we have had
for several years, Coffin, Mckinney & Co.
have laid in large supply of bags for the

consequent upon the large wheat crop took
place-and they are offered lower than the
