Farmers Must Make A Study of Soil

r drIneIS MUST MAKE "A Stuoy VI Jul.
When to use commercial fertilizers
is a question that every farmer has
70 deal with in his farming opera
tons. The Vermont experiment sta
ton gives it thai no fertilizer will
succeed on poorly titled soil The
farmer must understand his soil and
study the appearance of his crop and
give good cultivation. The failure OF
a crop may be due to several things
besides lack of plant food Bad
weather, drought, rains, poor seed,
inferior preparation of seed bed, mad
equate cultivation, weeds, lack of
drainage, soil acidity, are some of the
things.
Analysis of the soil is of little avail
in trying to decide tie kind of plant
food to add. There are several reas-
ons for this, as: 1t is difficult for
the farmer to take correct samples
of the soil The unused manurial
elements unevenly distributed in the
soil are source of error; the chem
ist is not able to distinguish between
available an unavailable plant food
| in the soil. He may find an album
dance, which however, owing to its
insolubility, the crops cannot use
Soil analysis may disclose a relative
lack of plant food or the presence Of
some deIeterious matter, but furthel
than this it can do but little

TEACHERS INSTITUTE.
Prof. Ellwood Kemp Delivers an In
teresting Lecture on the High
ways, and By-Ways of ireland

Prof Kemp, Tuesday evening at
the court room gave fifty minutes
talk on his experiences while sojourn-
ing in Europe. His talk was limited
to the lands of the shamrock and rose
although his intention was to touch
upon those of the lily, feur-de-lis,
idle-wies and the corn flower. He gave
an extraordinarily good discussion of
the Irish land question. In Ireland,
we all know, that the land is held by
a few rich owners living in London
for the most part The tenants make
and pay for all improvements on the
land and have for generations. Just
as soon as the land doubles in value
by the Improvements made, then the
rents are doubled. Year by year these
rents become higher. If the potato
crop fails a famine results and the
tenant cannot pax his rent. Glad
stone wished to solve this question
by having England buy all the land
and then resell it to the tenants CIV
ing them forty years in which to pay
for it. Parnell wished to solve it by
establishing a parliament in Dublin.
The question will be settled only
when some satisfactory, non-factional
method can be found to obtain it
from the present landowners, divide
it up into small parcels and distribute
it to the tenants.
He gave a fine description of a
horse show at Dublin, spoke of the
poverty stricken people of western
Ireland, of the sociability of the mid
die class of people and of the fair
of the women. Before
crossing into England he touched on
the extreme thrift of the people of the
land of the thistle-Scotland.
Prof. Kemp gave a very fine de-
scription of some of the points of in
terest in London. Especially was his
minute portrayal of the proceedings
of the House of Commons of great
interest. He also spoke of Rotton
Row-the fashionable drive of Lon
don-the clean streets and different
peculiar English customs He gave
the wreath of honor in greatness in
law, civil liberty, art, and most every
thing to England but he enthusiast
cally claimed that the honors in the
future would go TO America and
America with her scarce 400 years of
history would eclipse England with
her 1900 years. He made prophecy
that the United States would at some
time in the future extend from the
Gulf to the Pole We especially
liked and admired his patriotic eli
max.
Before the lecture Miss Florence
Johnston gave pleasing instrument
tai solo and encore. Miss Gertrude
Peterson favored the audience with
me solo Forgotten" which was high
ly appreciated as was also her charm
ing encore can April Girl

TRIED TO KILL WIFE
DESPERATE MEXICAN CHASED WOMAN AT LOWELL WITH
 KNIFE.
On Previous Occasion When Villiano Wanted Life of the Woman He Used Gun-other Grimes Being Looked Up.

S. Villiano was sent To jail yester day from the court of Judge Hogan, at Lowell, for twenty days. Villiano's offense gives his name an appropriate sound, inasmuch as the fellow tried to murder his wife.
 The attempt at murder was made early yesterday morning, the screams of the woman as she fled before her husband arousing the neighborhood. Villiano was armed with knife, and had he been able to reach the woman would doubtless have killed her. In court his only defense was that he was drunk at the time of the trouble, and did not know what he was doing. On previous occasion, under simi- lar circumstances the man shot lds wife through the arm.
 The court was not acquainted with the past history of Villiano when it passed sentence on him yesterday or he would have gotten six months. To gether with the story of the shooting of his wife it came out that Villiano has the reputation at Douglas, Cana nea and this city of being an exceed ingly bad Mexican. Officers are now looking up some of the recent doings of the man, and it is not improbable end of his present sentence he will find himself up against new charges of serious character.

A tremendous rain fell yesterday af- ternoon between Benson and Here ford. For a while water ran over the E. P. & S. w. track a foot deep. As a result there was considerable soft track reported last night. Fear is en- tertained that the rains during the night and that are probable today will do damage that will at least discom- mode travel if it does not shut off train service temporarily. Tester day afternoon the San Pedro was re- ported rising rapidly. and the rains of the night will undoubtedly add much to the volume of water, Which is in- creased by the mixture Of snow that is coming from the mountains. The big rain yesterday afternoon occurred between the hours of l and 3.

FLIGHT OF MR. MATHEWS
NEGRO GETTING AWAY FROM RIOT GUN DID TALL
 SPRiNTicG.
John Carter Tried to Make Target of Mathews, But Luck Helped Both to Accidental Discharge in Air. Trial This Morning.

Abraham Mathews, a gentleman of color, indulged in a foul epithet yes terday about l o'clock at the expense of John Carter, a barkeeper. Immedf ately thereafter Abraham gave a fine exhibition of sprinting. A telephone message from Douglas last evening re- ported his arrival at that city in three hours flat from the time of departure from Bisbee, and said the man was expected to make Nacozari at the gait he was then going some time in the night.
 When Carter took exceptions to the remarks of Mathews he very wrongly went behind the bar at the Exchange and got a riot gun. Thereupon the flight of Mathews commenced work ing. In front of the saloon Carter pointed the gun down the street and pulled the trigger. Where the latter fell there happened to be no cartridge. While Carter was pumping one into place the gun went off in the air. The bullet struck the upper story of the Copper Queen store. At the same moment Mathews disappeared around the bank corner.
 Marshal Snodgrass arrested and dis armed Carter as he lowered his gun. Carter immediately furnished bona for his appearance in court this morn ing at g and was released. The hear ing will be had before Judge Murphy. 1t is very likely that the young man will receive a fine that will impress him with the seriousness of his of teRse.s committed in a moment of un- warranted excitement. The charge against him is that of discharging firearms within the city limits. Car ter's violation was aggravated by req son of its being done on crowded street Had his first attempt at fir ing the gun been successful some one might have been killed.

terminated in a cluster of flags of all

paintings above which was a wide
border OF blue plush, appliqued in
a spangled design. The border was
the most striking point of the har-

been imported from Paris and used
for the first time last night.
The stage was decorated with
palms and roses over which were sus-
pended the clubs initials, T r. c.
