The Planting aud Cultivating of Corn.

The Planting aud CultiVating OF Corn.
The time for corn planting varies with
the latitude and also depends much upon
the weather, As soon as the days are
mild and the ground warm is Il safe rule,
wherever that may he, in all localities.
Three conditions are essential TO the pro
duction of paying crop Of corn, namely
good seed, rich triable soil aud thorough
tillage. Progressive farmers have de
monstrated the economy Of thorough
preparation of the soil for the seed, in
deed not a few Of our most successful
growers advocate and practice, as best
and easiest, the cultivation previous to
planting; that is to say, they do not use a
pillow after planting, but let all the deep
culture of the soil precedc IT,.
Where manure is required the better
way is to spread it broadcast and plow it
in, if coarse, or harrow it in, il well pull

is thoroughly incorporated in the soil, the
roots of the plants are certain to take il

will correspond with that Of stalk

when a limited amount of fertilizer
is placed in hill or drill only. To gain
the best results from the employment of

THE BENEFIT GAME.
GOOD PROSPECTS THAT TICKETS WILL 60

Base Ball Meeting Held Last Evening Wheeling
Easily Dsisats Columbus Other Games
Played Ysstsrday-NOtss.

A well-attended meeting Of the stock
holders and patrons of the Wheeling base
hall club was held last evening in Nc
Lain's Hall, to devise some means of rais-
ing money to help the Association ont on
its salary list, which is now due. Presi-
dent Seeley occupied the chair and Mr..
Will English acted as secretary. Treas
urer Mitchell read statement Of the finan-
cial cordition of the club, which showed
the amount of stock subscribed to be about
SEQ. The plart and Improvements
,hr:e.n cost $500, which shows a
balance Of 5000 to the credit of the Associa-
ton, representing that amount OF earniugs
Then there.is $500 deposited in the bank,
which is the guarantee necessary to become
a member of the Tri-State League. So it
can be seen that while the club is out Of
debt it has no working capital, and there
fore it is necessary to secure money to pay
the salaries.
Various methods of securing the neces-
sary amount were discussed at the meet
ing last evening, and it was at last decided
to make canvass of the city, Offering the
benefit game tickets or shares Of stock as the
contributor may desire, according to the
amount of his assistance. Or, If he de-
sires TO give the club q lift for no other
consideration than that of desire to show
his appreciation of the successful efforts OF

Just as acceptable. Messrs. j. j..
Woods, John b. Day and George Salade,
were appointed soliciting committee, to
make a tour of the city, and they will
commence their work to-day. Other gen.
tlemen will also sell tickets among their
friends, and already quite number have
been disposed OF. People who want to
lend their assistance have now an Opportu-
nifty OF doing go, and it is hoped the bene-
lit game will be q great success.
The tickets will admit the purchaser
into the grand stand without extra cost,
and the price of tickets are all the same
whether for ladies or boys. II the tickets
are not used on Monday they will entitle
the holder to admission to any other game
on the grounds this season, without extra
charge for the grand stand. Let the pub
lie show the other Tri-State League cities
that Wheeling still leads the League as q
base ball town.
The Wheeling team plays at Zanesvilie
to-day and tomorrow, and good games
may be looked for, as the Kickapoos are
thirsting for revenge, and the boys do not
intend that they shall secure it if they can
helpit.

Judge briggs, at st. Clairsvllle, Decides
Against the Gas Company.
In the Common Pleas Court, at St
Clairsville, Monday, Judge briggs gave his
decision in the cases OF the Bellaire glass
factories against the Wheeling Natural Gas
Company. The injunction restraining that
company from turning off the gas was made
perpetual--that is, go long as the contracts
last. The Bellaire Independent Gays that
Gin delivering the decision Judge Drigg'
poured some hot shot into the Natural Gas
Company for It's efforts to extort more
money from those with whom it held
contracts, and said it WAS nothing
short of conspiracy; that the evil
dence was clear that the Gas Company
had taken on new customers after making
contracts in question, and that the inter
probation by the company OF the clause IN
the contracts given to the Natural Gas
Company the right to regulate the supply
of gas was not equitable; it only contem-
plated regulation in case of failure OF
supply from natural or other causes over
which the gas company had no control,
and that even then the gas was to I've dis-
tributed equally among those holding con-
tracts, and could not under the contracts
and in equity he distributed upon the, basis
that those who pay more will receive more

cision of Judge briggs gives general salts

who had given the matter any thought
could see any other possible equitable so.
luton. The Natural Gas Company has
simply been undertaking gigantic scheme
to secure larger returns from the invest
ment, and it had nothing else in view but
the cash and its own apparently monopo,
ljstic position. In short, they acted IA if
all they had to do was to ask for more
money and get it or the gas would be
turned Of, because there is no other COM
pauy. The error of their position may be
forced upon them"
