there is no trouble in growing fne
onions in that State from the black
seed. Mr.. Stokes fortified his soil
well and secured a crop. Is it not
possible that the trouble has rested
quite largely upon this one polntp
The onion is a strong feeder and re-
quires a good soil; that is. one that
has a good degree of fertility, and il
this is not natural condition, it must
be made so by artificial application.
Almost any good, mellow soil, possess
ing requisite fertility, will grow onions
at the South. if they are properly at
tended to. In our climate it is best 10
plant the seed as soon as the soil il
suitable after the departure Of the
frost.
At the South we should expect to be
compelled to plant as much early az
the changed conditions required. n
Georgia, for instance, planting in Feb
ruary ought to secure a good crop, all
other things being equal. The onion
does best with culture and free stir.

require the soil to be drawn up to tho
plants. unless speedy bottoming is re.

throwing up the soil by the use of thu
Planet Jr. wheel, even this end was
accomplished, at the expense Of si2e

and we have employed ashes with
good results; in fact, Hardwood ashes
are an excellent fertilizer for the
onion crop under most conditions.
Successful onion culture requires
some skill. We have known the cul-
tivation, by those accustomed to the
same, to be complete failure with
full average conditions. The onion Is
a crop that can be grown year after

Ventilation and Cleanliness in Stable.

When winter approaches the
thoughtful man begins to think of the
dangers of an unventilated house in
which he is to live, and the vast ma
jority OF our houses have nothing that
can be reasonably called ventilation.
He knows that the house is to be shut
up, and that all the impurities uwill
be confined; and he will not rest until
he secures such ventilation as will
make the house as safe to live in as il is
in the summer when the windows and
doors are open. But there are manv
who never think of the stables
in which the animals are kept. These
are closed up in winter, too. They
have no ventilation, and the horse is
in them much larger proportion of
the time than he is in summer. It re-
quires little thought to guess the re-
suit. And 1t is not a ma ter of wonder
that horse that is kept in an i'll
ventilated and imperfectly cared for
stable gets sick, but it is matter of
wonder that he does not die. There is
not a universal agreement as to the
best kind of a floor to put into a stable.
But whatever the floor is, the stable
should be kept clean. We all know
he nature of horse manure. It is heat
producing, and naturally powerful
source of gases. To one unaccustomed
to it, the entrance into a stable in
which the manure is permitted to lie
is enough to take the breath; and vet
the horse that is kept in such stable
is compelled to breathe this vitiated at
mosphere all the time. Stalls should
not only be cleaned every day. but
they should be arranged so as to admit
the sunshine. Nothing is so purifying
as the rays of the sun, and if the stalls
can be so arranged as to admit these
rays, especially in the morning, o
cheap disinfectant and cheap pre-

Scwell Hall, one Of the colored men
charged with shooting in the crowd on
the night of the Harmony Fife and
Drum Corps riot at Fourth and Monroe
streets, had partial hearing upon the
charge last night before the municipal
court. Walter Bacon, Esq, appeared
for Hall and asked for a postponement
until this evening but Judge Ball de.
cided to hear all the evidence present at
once.
John N. Richardson, wstchman at
Quigley's morocco factory, at Fourth and
Monroe streets, testified that he saw the
shooting. He saw Sewell Hall walking
across Fourth street just few seconds
before the shooting took place. He ap-
peared to be behind the Harmony File
and Drum CORPS, marching near them.
Hall was near where the flash of the
shots Tere, but he did not see him shoot.
Lewls House testified that he was on
Qulgley's corner on the night the fight
vcs,ck pace. He and a Co.,, -, nanion went
across to see the corps pass. Seven n-..,
who as marching behind, knocked the
hat of lame mans bead. Hall and a
colored woman who was with him walk
ell on until they were within ten feet of
Peregoy's saloon, on the northwest corner
OF rOufln anu MODfOe slTeelet when HAIL
fired two shots. He was positive that it
was Hall who did the shooting.
The witness thought that Hall had
been shooting blank cartridges until he
heard that Lawler had been shot.
Peter Kelley corroborated Houses tes-
timony, only he could not recognize Hall
as the man who did the shooting. He
helped TO carry Lawler to drug store.
Benjamin Rodgers saw some shooting
but could not recognize Hall as the man
who shot.
Thomas Howard, clerk in D. McKen-
ney's grocery store, heard the report OF
the firing at Fourth and Monroe streets,
and saw a man running. The prisoner
is the man who ran, and who was caught
by the officer.
Charles Frazier was near Fourth and
Monroe streets when the corps came up
Monroe street. Witness said the pris-
oner was among the crowd. Could not
say whether the prisoner was the man
who did the shooting.
Edward 7. Peregoy, who keeps sa.
loon at Fourth and Monroe streets, said
that the prisoner came In his saloon a
few minutes after the first shot and asked
for pistol, saying he would shoot some
one. The case was continued until We'd
nesday night, and Hall held under $1,000
bail.
