A Few Opinions.
If Topeka cannot entertain the
visiting Odd Fellows let her turn the
job over to Salins. We never fail to
entertain all who come within our
walls.-[Salina Republican.
Or Abilene would be glad of so dis
tinguished body and would not beg
her neighbOrs to help her either.
The Abilene REFLECTOR is firing
hard shot at Topeka because that city
sent out circulars asking. the lodges of
the state to help pay the expenses of
the meeting of the Sovereign Grand
Lodge, L. o. 0. F., to be held at the
capital city. 1t was a very small bus
mess, and the REFLECTOR seems to
have the best end of the controversy
Lawrence Journal-Tribune.
Topeka expects a hundred thous-
and Odd Fellows to visit her next fall
This body of men will leave with her
hotels and business men a million of
dollars. Yet, she asks the lodges Of
the state to assess themselves to pay
the expense of parade not one Kan
sas Odd Fellow in fifty will see. The
aboriginal meaning of Topeka is "Sen-
sitive Plant. y Lawrence Record.
The Abilene REFLECTOR registers a
kick against Topeka asking the bal
ance Of the state to help bear the ex-
pense of public gatherings there, on
tie ground that Topeka receives the
benefits, if there are any, in having
these public gatherings there and her
citizens ought therefore TO bear the
expense. The REFLECTOR is pretty
near right. Other towns in the state
when they get any of these things
don't ask the balapee of the state to
pay for them.-[Parsons Sun.
If any other city in Kansas were to
ask the state to help entertain con-
vention meeting within its limits, that
city would be laughed at from one end
of Kansas to the other, and yet that is
just what Topeka is doing. The Su-
preme Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows
is to meet in Topeka next fall and To-
peka Odd Fellows want the rest of the
state to help pay the expenses and To-
peka papers feel aggrieved because the
papers of the rest of the state are
at them. They don't see the
point of the joke. Topeka has grown
so used to living on the rest of the
state that she is astonished when her
begging is met with refusal. She
claims it as right and in this case she
pleads that the good reputation of Kan
sas is at stake. That is nonsense.
The money they are asking for is to
pay prizes for a competitive drill of the
cantons of Patriarchs Militant. 1t is
for big show for Topeka. 1t is that
Topeka may see lot of uniforms and
banners moving about the streets. The
men in the uniforms don't count for
much. Men who take delight in this
kind of clap-trap are not men of much
when they are out of their
uniforms. The order of Odd Fellows
is noble institution. 1t has done and
is doing immense good in the world.
We're it necessary to help Topeka to
the Supreme Grand Lodge in
order that it might transact its neces-
,ary business the Times would urge the
granting of liberal aid. But to ask the |
edges of the state to contribute in
,Ider that Topeka may witness this |
is all wrong.-[Leaven-

improvement of Sandy Land.

Report of Wisconsin Farmers Meeting.
w. r. Barnes. of New Lisbon, discussed
the "lmprovementof Sandy Land" He said
when he purchased a farm in juneau coun-
ty he secured one with sandy soil, what
many would call"al sand" He commenced
improving 1t by using what manure he
could get, and sowing buckwheat. rye and
clover, and blowing the crop under. regard
ing clover as the best agent of improve
ment. Buckwheat and other crops were
first used. until clover would grow. For
seventeen years the land had been con-
stantly improving in fertility, until last
the acre, corn rs bushels of ear, oats
from seventy-fve to eighty bushels,
clover, fine crop of hay and from three to
five bushels of seed from the second crop.
In using stable manure it should be applied
lightly and evenly, as but little benefit
was derived from it after the first year on
sandy land. By blowing under clover the
soil was put in condition to produce excel
lent crops for several years. The decompO-
sitiOn of both heritage and roots together
had the most excellent effect. He plowed
about seven inches deep generally, except
in turning under heavy crops of heritage.
when he would pillow shallOwer, so that tho
next blowing would bring to the surface all
of the fertility of the crop plowed under.
He prefers spring blowing at all times. let
ting the clover get as much growth as pos
sible before blowing. He applies manure
to the grass land in the fall and piOws it
under in the spring.
The question of when to apply manure
elected q vigorous discussion. The prac-
tice of applying direct from the stable had
its advocates, as we'll as that of keeping il
plying it in the fall. Some favored apply
ing it in winter, because they had good re-
suits. Others were satisfied that they had
lost much by. winter application. a large
amount of tue fertility having run off with
the melting Of the snow in spring. Care
fully saving manure under cover. and ap-
plying it to grass land after harvest. had
some strong advocates.

This operation may be performed from
January to April with success. and / have
root-grafted as late as May. 1t is best to
have the work done by the 1st of March.
The stocks or roots used are grown from
seed for the purpose. Thrifty, one-year
roots are better II more easily worked
han twO-year roots. Do not use crab roots
except for crab trees. for they make the
large growing kinds. dwarfsh in habit.
The roots should be dug and the ciOns cut
buried in sawdust or moss in a very cool
cellar or pit. The method of union is
known as whip grating. and consists mainly
in fitting tae two parts to closely together
as to insure q union of inner bark of both
graft and stock. Pieces of the root are
sometimes used to graft on, but the whole
root Is much the best.
The stocks are washed to take off the
grit that it may not dull the thin, sharp
knife necessary for this operation. Their
tap-roots are shortened and the tops are re-
moved at the collar of the root with a
SMOOTH. slopinR, upward cut; in the center
a downward cut leaves a tongue. The
oion is cut on its lower end with a sloping
downward cut, and a tongue is made on it
to fit the tongue on the corresponding cut
on the root. The two parts are then neatly
Joined together, the inner bark of both
being in close contact on one side at least.
The joint is then firmly wrapped either
with narrow strips of waxed paper. OF cot
ton cloth, or with cotton warp drawn
through melted grating wax, and are then
packed away in san in a cool cellar. They
should be planted in nursery rows In the
spring, setting them in the soil deeply.

ofdin weak Early, out Trims Up Sharply
and Scores an Advance.
CHICAGO. Feb. A good business was
transacted in wheat to-day and there was a
moderate action to the market. The OPEN
ing was weaker and 4a3sc lower, then
eased off a trihe more, but later became
strong and advanced Sac, held steadily and
closed about 1sc higher than yesterday.
The early weakness was attributed to the
reported increase on the ocean and possibly
to the mild weather here. the predicted
Geld wave not m~aterializing. Advices from
San Francisco reported a weaker market
for wheat and moro favorable weather.
The result was, that the offerings were
quite free and the market ruled easy.
Later, a steady advance OF os0 $40 fol-
lowed which was due, partly. to o rumor of
a large line of wheat being taken at Baltl-
more for export. but possibly as much to
short covering. A good many operators
got short on the early decline and when in
side prices were reached. large buying
turned the market. One trader was credi-
ted with having bought 100000 bushels
for May delivery. Considerable wheat was
also bought on long account. A fair

corn, the market ruling quite active
and weak early in the session after
which il became more quiet and firner.
The selling was quite general early, and
especially of Nav and July, which received
the most attention. The general impress
sion is that there viii be a cut in rates from
the West in the near future, which, no
doubt. induced considerable short sell
ing. The sharp recovery after the early
decline was due to purchases of a large
local s~peculator. more particularly in July.
The market opened a shade over the clos
ing prices Of yesterday, was weak and sold
OFF LA sc, rallied and ruled firm, and
closed a shade better than yesterday. Oats
were quiet and steady. About the only
outside business was the selling for Nav
against holdings In the interior. Mess pork
trading was only moderately active. The
feeling was stronger and prices ruled
higher. with trading chiefly in May con-
tracts. Prices were not fully supported TO
the close. A quiet and comparatively
steady feeling prevailed in lard, and there
were no particular changes to note. Trad
ing was comparatively light in sho1t ribs.

DAILY, SUNDAY and WEEKLY
The Most Complete Newspaper
in all Departments in the
State of Indiana.

No newspaper in the West is moro
widely or more %favorably known than
the INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL. By the
display of enterprise and strict attention
to the wants of the reading public, dur
ing the great campaign OF 1888, it has
taken a leading position among the most
prominent journals Of the country, and
is certainly among the best. Among the
newspapers of the State it is pre-emi-
nently the best, and Indiana readers can
nowhere else find what they want in the
way of State and local news. 1t circu-
lates largely in every county in Indiana,
and has correspondents in every town
and village of Importance. It's market
reports are prepared with the greatest
care possible, and no pains or expense
absolutely reliable. 1t is the only news
paper in the State owning and publish
ing all the news furnished by the two
great press associations (the Western
Associated Press and the United Press),
in addition to which it furnishes an
abundance of special service from all
the principal cities of the country. IL
has been, and will in future be, the aim
of the publishers to make the INDIANAP-
OILS JOURNAL a perfect and complete
newspaper, deficient in no department.
or particular. The paper challenges
comparison with any of its contempo-
raries.
No Indiana reader, certainly no In
diana Republican, should be without the
Journal. While it is thoroughly and
soundly Republican in politics, devoted
to the interests of the Republican party,
the Journal will not allow its news to
be colored by partisan bias, but will
give the news of the day without fear or
favor.
Owing to the prominence of Indiana
in the national administration, the Jour-
nal gives particular attention to Wash
ington news, which will be given far
more completely than ever before. For
this reason, if for no other, no Indiana
reader can afford to be without it for the
next four years.
In addition to its new features, the
Journal regales its readers with ths
productions of some of the best known
literary men and women of the day.
Many of the most celebrated magazine
writer's and authors are contributors to
its literary columns, making it a paper for
the household and home circle. Special
| arrangements have been made for feat
ures of this character, which will appear
in the Journal during the coming year..
These appear most largely in the
SUNDAY JOURNAL, which is a special
edition, and can be subscribed for and
| received exclusive of the DAILY
JOURNAL.
