MICHIGAN MINISTER
BRUTALITY MURDERED
Body Dismembered and Partly Burned
In Stoves of His Church at
Columbus.

Detroit, Mich, Jan. S.-Rev. John j.
Carmichael, Methodist minister was
most brutally murdered near Column
bus, st. Clair county. Soon after his
dismembered and partly cremated
Dody was found in the two stoves of
his church There were evidences of a
terrific struggle.
Investigation was begun at once to
clear away a temporary uncertainty
as to the identity of the victim and to
obtain clues regarding the murderer
and the motive for the crime. Identified
ton Of the dead clergyman was soon
effected by Orville Lindsay, who was
sent to the church for that purpose by
Mrs. Carmichael, who had been in
great distress since her husband failed
to return home Tuesday evening, and
who surmised that he was the victim
as soon as she heard the report that
some one had been murdered in the
Columbus church. But clues of the
murderer and his motive were more
difficult to obtain.
There was rumor that strange
man had left train at Hickey late
Tuesday afternoon and had been di-
rected to the Columbus church, and
there were other rumors indicating
that two men were implicated in the
crime. The fact that several coins
were found in the clothing of the dead
man and in the ashes in the stoves
precluded the theory Of robbery, and
at the time of his death it was not
known that the murdered minister had
an enemy in the world.
Mr.. Carmichael had been in Michi
gan about ten years and for two years
had been pastor of the three churches
at Columbus, Adair and China With
his wife and three children, he resided
at Adair

We can help the soil to become
warm in the spring, then. by doing all
that we can to check evaporation. Did
you ever notice how quickly the sur
face Of a wet field became dry after It
had been narrowed? This Is because
stirring and loosening the soil stops
the water from coming up from be-
low. The water in the loose upper
layer soon evaporates and after that
the heat is used in warming the soil
instead Of turning the water into va
por OF course If we are not going to
allow the surplus water to be given of
by evaporation we must provide tile
drains and bitches to carry it away.
We shall study more about drainage
and the movement Of water through
the soil in another article.

seed. This hook catches on the end of
the seed coat and peels it back as
neatly as you take off your coat.
Watch for this in terminating pump
kin or squash seed and see If you can
not notice 1t. In some seeds, like hick-
ory nuts, the plant Is unable to get out
until the seed coat Is cracked by the
frost or in some other way.
We have seen that a seed cannot
start to grow unless it has moisture,
warmth and air. 1t not only needs
these, but 1t needs them in the proper
proportions. In a light, sandy soil
moisture is often lacking, and the
seed is slow in terminating for this
reason. In such q soil growth will
start more quickly If the soil Is pack
ed tightly around the seed. The seed
will soak up moisture more rapidly If
the particles Of soil are in close con-
tact with it on all sides. Packing
down the soil In the row with the
| fiat side of a hoe or with board or
with the broad, fiat planter wheels in
the field helps the seed to absorb
moisture and so hastens termination.
In heavy, sticky clay soil there Is
usually plenty of moisture. but air is
often lacking. If such soil is pack
ed down too tightly over the seed the
particles are forced so closely together
that very little air can get through,
and hence termination is delayed. In
a soil Of this kind seeds should never
be planted very deeply.
The most important factor Of all is
warmth. A cold soil may have
moisture and air in exactly the right
amounts, and still the seed will not
start to develop. Even If 1t does be-
gin to grow progress will be slow, and
the plant will have weak, unhealthy
look. 1t is of the utmost Importance
to wait until the seed bed Is warm
before planting the seed. Many seeds
which would rot or produce only
spindling stalks If planted in cold
soil will grow into strong plants II
planting is delayed until the soil has
become warm. Any seed will make 8
stronger, better producing plant If Il
has warm seed bed to start from.
The rapidity with which soil will
warm up in the spring depends grea
deal upon the nature of the soil itself
A sandy soil warns up quickly be
cause the air can get down into
, easily, thus warming it all the wa.
, through at once. Another reason TO
, the higher temperature of sandy sol
is its create" dryness. AS long as wa
+ ter is evaporating rapidly the groun'
, will be cold The process Of evapora
ton requires great deal Of heat.
