SOILS AND MoIsTUREs VS.. FERTILIZERS.
The soil upon Which q crop is
grown may have as great or greater
influence upon it as the plant food
artifcially supplied. Again, the effects
OF aud fertilizers will vary
on different soils. Indeed, soil is one
of natures wonderful laboratories.
The actions and reactions that are
going ON in the soil-chemical. bac-
THEOLOGICAL and physical Vary with
different localities and season No
bard and fast rules can DO laid down,
but the farmer who has had the larg-
est experience with fertilizers is usu-
ally the one who recognizes how much
he has yet to learn. In this as in
other branches of agriculture. the n
who really knows the least is apt to
think he knows it all.
Temperature and rainfall prevent
exact rules in feeding crops. How
aver carefully and literally a crop is
fed, it will be to little purpose if the
weather is too cold or too dry. Tenn
perature cannot be governed, nor can
too much rain be avoided. except by
drainage, but droqth can be insured
against by mulching, with chaff or
roughage, or by frequent culture,
making a mulch OF the surface soil, or
by irrigation.
However rich tho soil may be, from
its natural supplies of u~nexhausted
plant food or from the application of
manures or fertilizers, crops will not
be able to feed upon this plant food
without sufficient moisture. Crops take
up the bulk Of their food in solution ;
that is, tho fertilizing elements in tho
soil must be dissolved in water before
plants can utilize them to any extent.
Everyone knows how tho soils OF the
so-called arid west respond with nm
abundant harvest, il water alone is
added, because svater is the only thing
needed to make their supplies OF vege-
table food ayail,sblc to plauts. Eastern
farmers and Truckers who go to such
heavy expense for mannring, too OIL
ten neglect tho Necessity of moisture.
We have known farmers to condemn
a certain brand IF fertilizer because it
did not produce is crop, when tho
real trouble was boil did not have
moisture enougb.& table manure or
compost has an id liant function In
absorbing and hiding moisture
which commercial rtilizers or chemi-
calls do not possess. But this can DO
supplied by ptowing under green
crops, chat, ctcl As to tho necessity
OF such vegetable matter in tbersoil'
theorists differ,N but eysr5 farmer
knows that such hksus is ono OF the
most useful means insuring against
drouth. New EnA Il Homestead.

CONFIDENCE IN STOCK CIRCLES.
A Materially Higher Range of Prices
Esta blished Today.

New York, Jan. 19.-A feeling of conf
dence prevailed in stock circles this morn
ing, and under purchases for both accounts
a materially higher range of prices was
established Commissionhouse buying was
quite a feature of the trading. London, on
the other hand, took advantage of the rise
TO sell, but the offerings were quickly alb
soTbed
The gossip in the board was of bullish
character, the great piing up of money at
this center and the splendid condition of
the foreign commerce of the country still
being the chief topics OF discussion. The
refusal of the Illinois railroad com mission
TO reduce passenger rates in the state was
favorably received, while the reported
slasbing of rates by the 500 line was ig-
norcd
The advance in prices was equal to "A

ket was about firm.
Speculation at the Stock Exchange was
firm after IL O'Clock. In some stocks a
disposition to take profits prevailed, and
this led to a little shading of prices.

A MURDER TRIAL BEGINS
Arthur Bland and Frank Turner Ae-
cused of Killing John Minor.
The Opening Addresses and the
Testimony of Many Colored
Witnesses.

a Boodfield tragedy of November last
| resulted in the placing on trial mis- morn
ing of Arthur Bland and Frank Turner,
Charged with the mUder of John Minor
The dead man was stabbed in the neck at a
colored dance given by John Green, at No.
46O street southwest. The victim and
his slayer had been bitter enemies for
many years.
The trial is before Judge Bradley, in
criminal court No. 2, and is the first murder
case to be tried since the enactment of
the law allowing juries To decide whether
or not capital punishment shall be in
flicted.
District Attorney Birney and Assistant
Attorney LaSkey represented the prosecu-
ton and Thomas C. Taylor and Andrew Y.
Bradley appeared for the defendants The
following jurors were selected after the
exercise of several challenges on the part
of tie defense.
George n. Joyce, foreman; J. NJ. BIrk-
head, Frank Thomas, Timothy D. DAILY,
John Dugan, Albert Peacock, James r
Iobbins, Louis Ii Schneider, George d.
Young, A. G.. Osborne, Eli 7. Cullison and
l.. s. Emery. The last named was chosen
in place of an excused juror, and finally
accepted by the defense, after having an
swered negatively a question whether he
felt any pers onal anirnoSity to MIR. Taylor
who propounded the query.
Mr.. Laskey made the opening address to
the jury, and claimed that the prosecution
would show that Bland went to the house
where the dance was being given Ind in
duced Minor to come out on plea that a
woman wanted to see him. On the out
side Turner grabbed Minor, and the cutting
resulted.
MIR. Taylor told the jury that Bland had
been invited to the social to sing Minor
came of fhisow n accord and picked quarrel
with the accused.
The first witnesses examined were mem
bers of the social dance which gave the
dance. Mary Diggs and Emma Taylor,
colored, told the jury that they saw Minor
take his hat and go out.
The latter witness was asked to tell about
hearing n knock at the door and the words
of invitation extended to the deceased to
come outside. Mr.. Taylor offered an OBJ
lection, and several of the colored witnesses
in the room smiled audibly.
Judge Bradley haltedthe lawyer and said:
'I want to caution this disorderly clement
that they must behave themselves. This
is a solemn occasion. Two men are on trial
for their lives, and will have no sncker-
ing and giggling. The court will punish
severely any such offenders. / think the
witnesses might bee excluded from the room,
anyway"
The suggestion was complied with, and
the courtroom was cleared
The prosecution occupied the entire
morning in showing BANDS connection
with the killing.
