Sward land turned over very fat, with
the grass side down, does not dry out in
fit condition for working in the spring
as soon as it would if the furrow were
Tapped or set up on edge little more.
1t is more subject to injury from
drought. The alternate wetting and
drying, and the exposure to the air,
causes quicker decay of the sod, and
when that decay is finished, the soil will
absorb and hold water from above, or
bring up moisture by capillary attraction
from below, much better than it would
If there were a layer Of undecayed
vegetable matter six or eight inches
below the surface. This difference is
not so plainly shown in fall plowed land
as in that plowed in the spring, as the
sod will have decayed before the season
when droughts are most frequent and
severe, explains American Cultiyator.
Flat plowing is not as good as lap fur
rowing in land that is liable to be wet
all or most of the time, because the sod
does not decay when under water, as
may be seen in taking out sods that have
been put into wet barn cellar. They
come out as bright as they were when
put in, but how quickly they decay after
exposure to the air.

INSURGENTS AHEAD.

They Are Better Equipped Than
Balmaceda's Soldiers.
City OF MEXICO, Aug. %. .-Telegrams
have been received from Lima giving
information of the battle now being
fought between the Congressionalists
and Balmaceda's forces.
The latest one states that the City Of
Valparaiso is completely surrounded by
Congressionalists, who are rapidly driv-
ing in the outposts.
The fight has been going on for sew
enty-two hours, and though from the
first the army of Balmaceda is nearly
double that of the eCcngressionalists the
latter have been victorious.
From present indications the fight
may constnue several days. The Con
gressionalists are expecting reinforce
ments. The insurgent feet is still how
ering about Quintero bay. The losses
have been very severe,
The success SO far of the Congression-
alists has been due to the superiority of
their firearms, which are Remingtons
and Winchesters, procured in the United
States, the ESmeralda having landed
come 10000 on her return to Chile.

CAMDEN OFFICIALS
The County Physician and Coroners
at Odds.

CAsfEEN, N. J. Aug. 27.-The war be-
tween the county physician Of Camden
and the two coroners which broke out
about a month ago has been renewed
with great determination on both sides
to win. The end will only be reached
after the court has heard both sides.
The coroners claim unnecessary inter-
ference on the part of the county physi-
clan and lack of courtesy.
Mrs. Mary H. Dresser was stricken on
the street and died from heart disease.
Coroner Jefferis was sent for and after
questioning the relatives gave a death
certificate from heart disease. County
Physician lizard heard of the death,
called at the house, and it is said took
the certificate issued by Coroner Jefferis
and tore it into fragments and gave one
of his own.
Coroner Smiley has turned the tables
on County Physician Iszard in the same
manner that the county physician
treated Coroner Jeffries by tearing up
one of his certificates and in its place
issuing one of his own. He will not stop
at this, however as he has instructed
his constable to summon jury and an
inquest will follow.
The last incident grew out of the
death of William II. Bruner, who was
admitted to the Cooper hospital Sunday
night with a fractured skull caused by
falling from an express train, and who
died Monday morning.
The county physician gave certi6-
cate Of accidental death. Coroner Smiley
considered it a case for investigation as
the young man might have been pushed
from the platform, or from the opera
tion of trephining at the hospital. Cor
oner Smiley notified the county physi-
clan to be present at the post mortein
yesterday, but he failed to comply with
the order, and DR.. Conrad Ct. Hoell
made the post mortem in the presence
of a jury, and an inquest will be held
at o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
The coroner declares the county physi-
clan is subservient to his order. and q
non compliance makes him liable to the
law, the penalty being fine upon con-
viction of 800.

THE WHEAT CROP.
Requirements Necessary to the Produo-
tIon of Largo Yleldy,


tIon of Largo Yieidr
The wheat crop flourishes best on
compost clay soil. The best location in
an ordinary farm rotation is immediate
ly following crop of clover or peas or
other leguminous crop that tends to store
nitrogen in the soil Nitrogen is an es-
sential element in growing large crops
of wheat. and it is the most expensive to
buy in commercial fe0lizer. If,
therefore, we increase the nitrates in the
soil by previous crop Of clover, large
crops of wheat can be grown by liberal
application to the crop of fertilizer con-
tanning no ammonia to supply the need
ed phosphoric acid and potash. 1t has
also been found profitable to add during
the season Of its spring growth a top
dressing of nitrate Of soda.
When clover sod is to be plowed for
wheat it should be pastured during the
early part of the season, and plowed in
July or early in August, since it is
found that the success Of the crop de-
pends largely upon the soil getting firm
~ settled after blowing for some time
before sowing the wheat. After plow-
ing the field should be narrowed at in
teryals to prevent the growth Of weeds
and to get the surface into fine condi-
ton. A thorough preparation of the sur
face is essential to success.
The crGp is usually sown with drill
which distributes the seed in close rows.
OF late years some of our best wheat
farmers have come TO the conclusion

ring committees were unable to effect a
meeting yesterday, but an extensive
correspondence was carried on. The
Association representatives sent letter
to the League men to the effect that

q long answer TO the league representa-
tiyes, discu sing the demands of each
organization and claiming that the
Leagues committee had broken faith
with them. As the matter now stands
neither side will make the first advance.

Park Place Ruins.
A TOTAL OF sIxTY-oNB VICTIMS

OF These Twenty Are Unidentified,
and Will he Buried in a Cemetery
at the City's Expense--A Commit
tee Appointed to Receive Subscrip-
tions for Sufferers.
NEW YoRK, Aug. 27.-Acting Chief
Reilly, of the fire department, an
nounced yesterday afternoon that the
work of searching for bodies in the Park
place ruins was completed. He said
that although all the debris was not re
moved, every foot of the cellars had
been examined, and it was certain there
We're no more bodies in them. \ part
Of press still remained under No. 70
and heaps ~ rubbish remained in the
other cellars.
If the search has been thorough the
record of the Park place disaster is
sixty-one killed. What has become Of
the persons who figure in the long list
of missing il not known.
During the early hours Of the morning
the longsharemen worked with greater
vigor than ever, and the men and carts
from the public works departments
greatly facilitated their labors by re-
moving heaps of the debris which have
been accommodating in the street.
Ten Mangied Bodies.
Soon after midnight the presses still
in the ruins were lifted far enough to
enable the searchers to get into the Gel
lar beneath Peterson's restaurant and
the cellar adjoining it. Here it was ex-
pected that many bodies were buried.
The expectation was speedily realized,
and from l a, H. to a. m. fifty men
were busily engaged in extricating ten
burnt, mangled and half decomp0sed
remains Of men and women. In those
seven hours the death record jumped
from fifty to sixty, and more bodies
We're said to be in sight. Shortly after
wards the last body, that of woman,
was taken out. 1t was the sad lest
nights work since last Saturday.
The dead wagon was kept ON a rush
to and from the morgue until : o'clock
All the bodies found yesterday We're so
burnt or decoinposed as to be unrecog-
nizable, Only one was identified, and
the Identification was made by articles
found III the clothing.
Twenty Unidentified.
The mayor has authorized the com
mon councils to procure suitable plot
in some cemetery to decently inter all
the unidentified bodies, There are now
twenty at the morgue that must be
buried by Friday.
The mayor has appointed committee
of prominent citizens to receive sub
scriptions for the victims of the dis
aster. Representatives of all the daily
newspapers have been appointed on the
committee
In the afternoon twenty barrels of
benzine and other oils were found in
the back basement of No. 72 Fire
Chief eastman took samples from each
barrel and forv arded them to the
bureau of combustibles for an analysis.
Were Bodies Entirely Consumed?
The verified list of the missing shows
thirty-five persons unaccounted for. The
number of unidentified taken from the
ruins is eighteen. Allowing that eight
cen of the missing persons are repre-
sented by the unknown dead, it will be
seen that there are still seventeen unac-
counted for. They are not in the ruins,
and if not, where are they? 1t is thought
some of the bodies were entirely con-
