duet.
Salt Lake City, Aug li-Mosea
Thatcher has been found guilty Of
apostasy and understandable conduct
by the authorities Of salt Lake stake,
and the findings approved by the high
counsel Mr.. Thatcher has submitted
to the decision Of the tribunal The
main consideration imposed was an en-.
dorscmcnt ~ the manifesto promul-
gated requiring counsel 90 be taken
before officers Of the church could &C
ccpt nominations for political Offices.
A construction was put upon the man
ifcsto which permitted Mr.. Thatcher
TO endorse IL without yielding his con.
tcntion. II was his refusal to en-.
dorsc this measure that led 20 his
deposition from an apostlcship. and
led to his trial. The question also
largely entered into the late scna.
torial contest, which aroused much In.
tcrcst and bitterness at the time.
Thatchcrs objection to the manifesto
was that 10 was too sweeping. As
about every third male member Of the
church is an officer under the church,
by requiring counsel before accepting
nomination for Office would place
political control within the hands OF
the few. should they bc INSCRIPTIONS
enough to use H. Mr. Thatcher asked
for construction, but IL has never be.
fore been given. IL has now been do.
cided. however, that Il does not apply
TO officers who do not give their whole
time to the service Of the church. This
removed Mr.. Thatchcr's principal OBJ
lection.
Other conditions were that he retract
some statements made which had their
origin In the controversy which fol-
lowed the promulgation Of the mani
fcsto and the trouble that followed.

Breaking Heavy Sod.

Very deep blowing is not necessary
or even advisable to rot sod. Three or
four inch furrow turned while moist
In early spring Will rot more quickly
and perfectly than the same furrow
turned deeper. But an Iowa farmer
thinks be has found a still better way.
That Is to pillow two burrows, first
throwing the sod to q depth OF four
inches, and following in the same fur
row with a stirring plow, which thor
oughly breaks up the soil below the
sod, and then throws five or six inches
of this soil over II. On land thus pre-
pared he got a large crop of corn with
out a weed, and the next year the fur
row to the entire depth of the soil
stirred was as mellow as an ash heap,
and without a trace of sod. In this
case probably the under soil was yege-
table mould and rich, and the season
was also moist one. We have seen
many heavy sods made unproductive
for two or three years by turning up
too much clay subsoil with the sod.
Sometimes, in a dry season, a spring
turned sod will be found unrotted at
the bottom of a deep furrow, when
clayey subsoil has been thrown over
IT, In such cases no crop could he
grown until the old sod, entirely killed,
though not rotted. was turned to the
surface and exposed to air. 1t then de-
composes very rapidly, but the deep
blowing means years loss of time.
