Flowing Experiments.


 This is one of the practical questions which must be determined by each farmer for himself, or by one enter prisinc farmer for his neighborhood, when the same conditions exist over the same locality.
 One farmer, whose experience we noted some years ago, seemed to throw absolute discredit on the the ory that deep blowing is best, espec- ially ,n dry season. He prepared half an acre with great care, manur- ing heavily and subsoiing to the depth of sixteen inches. After narrowing thoroughly, he thought the tract was in the best possible shape for giving a fine crop. Another contiguous half acre, which he had not time to pre- pare in the same way, was equally we'll manured. but plowed only two inches deep and given an extra har- rowing.
 Both tracts were planted to corn, which came up well and for the first month there was no apparent differ ence between them. Then a severe drought began, and by the close of July the shalow-plowed part was far ahead of the other. August was dry, and at the end of the month the | deeply -plowed tract was suffering bad 1 ly, the leaves becoming yellow nearly up to the ears, while the other half acre suffered but little. It grew rap idly, and made the best crop of corn on the place or in the nelghbor- | hood.
 The surface soil in this case was q light loam, quite rolling with vel | low clay sub-soil thirty feet deep, iointed and well adapted for drain ing. . ! On the other hand, an Illinois l farmer gives 1t as his experience that | deep blowing is the condition of sue cess w:at h'm A neighbor who blows not deeper shan three and a l half or four inches for corn, gets from ten to thirty bushels per acre, on land of tile same quality as his own. He, on the contrary, blows from six to seven and Il half inches, and realizes from lifty-three or four tn over sixty bushels to the acre
 These illustrations show the neces- sity of careful experimenting on the part of every farmer to determine for himself such questions of method. He cannot depend upon the conclusions of some experiment station a hun dred or thousand miles away, as we have frequently pointed out, although we must not be understood as dispar aging in any degree the work of those generally useful institutions.

A Holiday at Memnhis.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, May 12.-At noon, with
impressive ceremonies, the great steel
bridge across the Mississippi river was
formally declared open for traffic, in the
presence of a great throng of people, in
GLIDING distinguished visitors, state ana
national, from this and adjoining states.
The day was observed as holiday and the
city is in gala attire with the man-of-war
Concord and river craft of all kinds covered
with bunting. The weather is delightful.
The festivities began with an imposing
street parade, including military visitors,
distinguished guests, fire department and
floats illustrative OF the industries of the
Mississippi valley. When the procession
reached the bridge, the ceremonies began
by sending eighteen locomotives upon the
structure as test of its strength.
The Memphis bridge is the third largest
OF its kind IN the world. There are five
spans and six piers, including the anchor
age piers. Their total length is 2, 597 feet
On the bridge proper the structure is ex-
tended west OF the main bridge by an iron
yfaduct z, 500 feet in length, followed by a
3, l00-foot timber trestle. and nearly mile

high and weigh twenty-eIght tons.

The following from the San Francisco
Chronicle of the 9th will indicate how the
railway straws are blowing over on the
coast range:
"a private letter received here yesterday
from Banning, San Bernardino county,
states that prospectors from the desert
bring word that Union Pacific surveyors
are now engaged i'll running line of levels
in what is known as the MorOngo pass and
that the people of Banning are much elated
at the news. The supposltion is that the
Union Pacific has in contemplation the ex-
tension of its Salt Lake line southwestwnrd
to the coast and that such extension will
pass through Banning"

CHICAGO BOODLERS.
The Defendant in the First Case Discharged
Trouble with the Iron Workers


CHICAGO, May 12.-The board of review
of the American Trotting association passed
upon some twenty-five minor cases this
afternoon and adjourned, to meet next fall
in New York.
The first of the trials growing out of the
recent grand jury Investigations was held
today. The defendant NJ. b. Hereby, a
member OF the board of education, is
charged with soliciting brides. Sterling
L. Bailey, vice-president of the Snead
Heating apparatus, was the only witness
His testimony being very weak, Judge
Collins discharged the accused, saying he
never should have been indicted.
The indicted aldermen will be tried
later on.
Unless the demand of the iron workers is
conceded the Chicago building trades eoun-
Gil win be asked Friday night to declare a
general strike of all workmen at The
Worlds fair ground. Whether the council
will accede TO the request remains to be
seen. The secretary of the painters or
ganizstion said today that the painters
would willingly quit WORK to help the iron
workers.
