CAMPBELL METHOD
OF SOIL CULTURE.

Within the. last few years, what is
known as Campbell's New Method of
Soil Culture has been brought TO the
attention Of the farmers OF the West.
The protector Of this method is Mr..
II. W. Campbell, of Sioux City, Iowa,
formerly of Putney, South Dakota.
MIR. CampbelPs observations and
study have led him to the belief that
in the so-calIed se1ni-arid regions Of
the West, more OF the rainfall could
be gathered into the soil and hus-
banded there until needed by the
growing crop later in the season.
Briefly stated, Mr. Campbell's
method is as follows:
Firs5-Plow deeply-seven or eight
inches-preceding the plow with a
disc harrow to mellow the surface
about to be turned under.
Second-Follow the plow within
few hours with the Campbell sub-sur-
face packer. This machine consists
essentially OF a series of cast iron
wheels placed abreast upon an iron
axle, SO that their rims, which are
about an inch thick at the base, mar
rowing to a sharp angle at the ex-
treine circumference, are about five
inches apart. The whole machine,
when run over the soil, is heavily
loaded. The object of fthesub-surface
packer is, first, to further pulverize
the soil, and second, to bring the
newly turned soil, which is held up to
Il greater or less extent 10y the stub
bic, into contact with the bottom of
the iurrow. This packing OF the fur
row slice upon the bottom of the fur
ROW renews the capillary relation be-
tween the newly turned soil and that
below, a thing desira ble in a dry fall,
and also "opens way downward for
rain, should there be any. It is we'll
known that water does not percolate
so READILY into a soil that is dry and
filled with air spaces as it does into
one that is already moist, and, while
mellow, is not filled with large OPEN
ings.
Third-Follow the sub-surface
packer with a light peg tooth harrow
and harrow the land at intervals
thereafter until the crop is sown.
This is to keep a shallow mulch over
the surface OF the ground to retard
the evaporation OF the moisture into
the air.
Fourth-Put in all crops so that
they may be cultivated. Grains are
sown in drills Is to "a inches apart.
Fifth-Cultivate shallow and often.
! The Campbell grain drill can be con-
verted into a spring tooth cultivator,
which cultivates the same number of
rows that the drill sows. Mr.. Camp
bells theory is (a) that by this culti-
vation the loss OF moisture into the
air is ]essened, and CD that a fewer
number OF plants with all the moist
ure they may need will produce a
greater yield than more plants with
an insufficient supply OF moisture.
Mr.. Campbell believes that by the
use OF this method the difference in
the cost OF growing a crop will be
more than compensated by the in.
creased yield.-Bulletin OF Govern

Important Pension Order.

The pension department has issued
the following important order to Of
ficers-
Sir:
Recent Investigation had By this
Bureau to ascertain the methods en-
ployed by public officials in executing
reusion vouchers, has demonstrated
an almost total disregard of the laws
and regulations governing the sub
ject.
tits clearly evid ent that the illegal
lax Indifferent and perfunetory pro-
ceduree, xtant has become menance
proper and safe conduct ofhe affairs
of this Bureau, so far as it relates to
the payment of pensions, and special
efforts are contemplated to correct
the existing abuses.
While it is believed that many of.
ficials who assist in the execution OF
pension vouchers have no conception
oftheir criminal liability in the prem.
ises, it is equally certain that many
others to secure an advantage in the
numerical number of their clientage
knowingly and wilfulIy resort to
violation of the law.
To the end that the former class
may profit by this motto, this circular
is issued.
There can be no justification in the
prevalent haste and la4ity existing
in many offices, by which post-dating,
false certifcation, false claim and
stock W itn esses have become fac
tor in the administration and acknowl-
edgement of pension vouchers.
1t is the intention of this Bureau,
where the facts warrant such action,
to institute criminal proceedings
against the parties who indulge in
these illegal and irregular practices
and they are warned accordingly.
BY following strictly the instruct
ions printed on each vcucher, the
matters complained Of may be entir-
ly remedied Very respectfully

AFTERNOON SESSION.

, after dinner.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
Professor Berner-I examined the
eight-ounce bottle of elected SUBJ
stance from stomach and found it TO
contain nearly one ounce of common
salt and one,fifth grain strychnine; in
the stomach was found one sixth
grain and small quantity of pure
strychnine in the spinal chord. In
all was found four ffths of grain. 1t
requires to eliminate strychnine from
the body ordinarily, about forty eight
hours. The time required to Dissolve
strychnine in boiling water or coffee
would be very short, probably one OF
two seconds.
Harrison Nihizer-I live near the
home of John S. Engle, known him
twenty years, saw him the morning
before he died, noticed no change
in him, he said nothing about any
trouble.
Drs. Dye and Smith were then re-
called. They testified that they had
made various tests and experiments
with strychnine, coffee, sugar and
cream. A scum came ON the coffee
in their experiments, and when the
cream was used, there were thicker
scum than without it, or the strych
nine was slower in disolving and
would float on top.
Mrs. Andrew Blum testified that
she went to the residence of Engles'
on March 10 last; Mrs. Engle said
at was the coffee! l don't see why, il
came out of one coffee pot and ours
was all right, but his had a scum on. p"
Mrs Engle also told me: 1--WE were
getting ready to gotc town, had gone up
stairs when Frank called for medi-
Gin, said father was sick.'
Samuel Ringhizer-Nearly 6S yrs.
of age, been acquainted with Mr..
Eugie thirty years, live I miles away,
saw him on Wednesday before his
death, and had conversation with
him, saw no difference in his mind
or manners, he was in good spirits
and talked freely.
Isaac Mathias-I saw Mr.. Engle
every few days, he seemed cheerful
and the "same john" had a conver-
sation with Barbara Engle, she told
me 1t was not possible for Mr.. Engle
to make a mistake as the strychnine
bottle was in another room.
Rev. McLaughlln-Am a minister
of the Gospel, otficiated at the funeral
of John Engle, called at his home,
saw Mrs. Engle, sat close TO her in
church, saw her at grave OF deceased,
noticed no tears, and she gave no
demonstration of grief.
Before court adjourned, Judge
Wright, in very courteous manner,
asked the ladies when they returned
to court, those who wore high hats
or large plumes to remove it in order
that those back OF them could see.
The judge made ruling that no
attorney in the case should read to
the jury from any book, during ths
trial.
