APPLYING MANURE IN THE FALL, -
Whether the manure should be applied in
the spring or the fall depends 6nsthe char
acter of the soil and tho crop. that is to
occupy the land. Manur1ng in the tall is
usually followed by corn or grass; moro
cummonly corn, If the lard has been IN
clover. It Is an advantage to spread ma
nure at this season, as the frost and expo
suro to the air and rains convert it into a
fine condition and hasten it's decompesi.
ton, which Is what tho farmer wishes.
The hauling can be done now without him
dranoe, as 70 other farm work needs pres
sing attention, which brings the busy sea-
son OF spring forward with heavy por-
ton Of the work finished It is feared by
some farmeEs that by applying manure in
the fall there occurs a loss Of ammonia.
There is no doubt of the formation OF am.
mona, owing to tho decomposition that
takes place, but ammonia Is largely absOr-
bed by water, which carries lt'dUwnward,
and once 1t finds it's way into the sol! the
vegetable and mineral acids with which it
comes In contact changes the ammonia
into salts, which vary according to lhe
kind of acids united to 1t. Tho salts OF
ammonia do not remain fixed In character,
for, beng ever changeable, they arc con-
tiLually being broken to pieces and re.
formed Dy acids stronger than those to
which 1t has been Joined, and their char
acter is regulated by, the ingredients, con.
tanned Ill this soil. The manure should be
spread as soon as hauled, for if left ir
heaps the rains leach them, and the sol
will be richer IN some places than IN others
The soil, however, must elso be taisvn into
consideration, 1t is not the better plan t(
spread manure in the fall On light, sandy
soil tdat Is porous, for the heavy rains anc
melting SHOWS OF winter will carry away

soluble substances. On heavy soils, such
as arc underlaid with clay, the advantage

Financial Prospects.
New York Times


There have been some rippleS of
late on the surface of financial and
commercial affairs which create a
slight feeling of uneasiness, but give
no real occasion for alarm. The main
features of the situation have been
the trouble with two banking institu-
lions at St. Adams and two others at
Indianapolis, the suspension of anum-
Der of leather firms in Boston, med
crate increase in the record of com.
mercial failures and an unsettled con-
dition in the stock market. The st.
Adams difficulty was a local affair,
the bank and trust company involved
having brought it upon themselves
through their connection with Brad
ley Barlow's Southwestern Railroad
speculations. 1t has no meaning
with reference to the general situa-
ton. The indianapolis bank trouble
was an after-clap of the failures con-
nected with the recent wild specula-
lions in lard and pork in Chicago. In
both these cases the capitalists most
intimately concerned are engaged in
Strengthening out affairs, with a fair
prospect of success. The leather fail
ures were belated and consequently
| intensified incident of over-trading in
a special line, and if the banks of Bos
| ton escape embarrassment in conSe-
quence of them they are not likely to
have any general effect. The other
! failures, which have been exception
| ally numerous, but not exceptionally
| large, are probably one result of a
process of liquidation which has been
going on for year or two.
The overproduction and overtrading
which periodically force reaction
and process of liquidation in which
the weaker concerns give way were,
| in fact, Il matter of one and two years
ago. The activity in railroad build
ing in 1881 and the first part of 1882
absorbed large amount OF funds and
stimulated not only the iron business
but to some extent other industries.
The unhealthy basis on which the
iron and steel trade has long rested
made any considerable falling off in
the demand for its products neceSSa-
rily disastrous. The cessation of ac-
tivity in railroad construction caused
such a falling off, and there was
! trouble at once for the rolling mills,
and the general sympathies of trade
made the effect widely felt. The same
speculative movement which melted
railroad building two years ago caused
oyerproduction and overtrading in
other directions. As amatter of fact,
we have been going through the con-
sequent reaction for at least year
past, but favorable crops and the re-
Operative power of the country have
prevented it from being violent. OF
late there has been little speculative
activity, and the process of reaction
may be regarded as substantially COM
pleted. Outstanding Indebtedness is
not large. and trade and prices are
on an unusually firm basis at present

went to d place on Pecan street
where all the nice young men
go and where there is a show, and
here they saw little of that sort of
life that the nice young man sees
very often. Then they opened the
door of a saloon or two and saw some
nice young men enjoying glass OF
beer and others punching ivory balls
with long stick on green table.
Then they ran up flight or two OF
stairs and saw many nice young men
and great piles of money; and one
fellow was sitting with a little tin
box IN his hand and pulling out
card from the top every time some
one of the men put down money on
other cards that were pasted to the
table. They did not know what all
this meant and soon went out and
down to the street again. Then they
went to a good many other queerer
places of amusement and saw great
many-yery many naughty things
that we will not detail here. How
ever, long before they had gone the
rounds they intended to, they
found that certain parties were
following them, and they were not
brave enough to proceed further, and
so went back to their home.
They have not said anything to the
young men they met in their rounds
but perhaps may some time, and we

The Alley Robbery.

There are some strange facts that
have come to light in regard to the
highway robbery in the alley. The
young man who claims to have been
fobbed told Officer MoAIlister that
the man who robbed him had a full
red beard and he told Capt. Chenne-
vile that he was short man with a
moustache. The police in investiga-
ting the matter found where he went
into a saloon on Pecan street and
spent three dollars for beer and gave
Ave dollar bill TO pay for it, and
told the bar keeper that that was all
he had. saying that the 50 he owed a
man and must pay him, but f1nally
spent it all before he left the place.
