yet prepared
Martial Law.
The first order issued by officers of
the national guard in many years pro-
claiming what is tantamount to martial
law in any district of the city was is
sued yesterday morning, as follows:

cost a farmer from 500 to $40 per
ton when purchased from the COM
mercial fertilizer agents.
1t seems to be a pet fancy with
many farmers that commercial fertil-
izer will make quicker growth when
used to fertilize young plants than
ordinary barnyard manure on account
Of being more available for the young
plants to feed upon.
The above claim may be right to a
certain extent if the best quality Of
commercial fertilizer is used on one
plot and barnyard manure on another.
But when we speak or write of the
ordinary barnyard manure we must
consider the fact that it is not as val
liable as when fresh from the stable
and contains the full amount of plant
food, both liquids and solids, that It
contained at the time It was made.
Thus, many make the mistake Of
losing the most valuable fertilizing
elements from their manure and then
claiming II inferior to the commercial
fertilizers for promoting a rapid
growth of the young plants
We do not think that better results
can be made by using commercial fer
tilizers for a number of years than
can be made by using stable, not barn.
yard. manure. when care has been ex-
ercised in saving and preserving all OF
the fertilizing elements that It origin
ally contained.
Whenever I see or hear the term
barnyard manure used it calls to my
mind a certain class of farmers who
allow their manure to remain under
the stable caves all winter to ferment
and wash away and who the next
spring pay commercial fertilizer
agents a whole hatful OF money for
the very elements that he has allowed
to wash away and then says that the
feeding of livestock and dairying does
not pay.

The object of forestry is to discover
and apply the principles according to
which forests are best managed. It
is distinct from arboriculture, which
deals with individual trees.
Forestry has to do with single
trees only as they stand together on
some large area whose principal crop
is trees, and which therefore forms
part of a forest The forest is the
most highly organized portion of the
vegetable world. 1t takes its i'm
portance less from the Individual trees
which help to form it than from the
qualities which belong to it as a
whole.
Although 1t is composed OF trees
the forest is far more than a collec-
ton OF trees standing in one place
plants peculiar to itself, a soil largely
OF Its own making, and a climate diff
ferent In many ways from that of the
open country. It's influence upon the
streams alone makes farming possible
In many regions, and everywhere II
tends to prevent floods and droughts
1t supplies fuel. one of the first nee
essaTies of life. and lumber, the raw
material, without which cities, rail
roads, and all the great. achievements
of material progress would have been
either long delayed or wholly impos-
sible.
The forest is as beautiful as it is
useful. The old fairy tales which
spoke of It as terrible place are
wrong. No one can really know the
forest without feeling the gentle in
huence Of one of the kindliest ad
strongest parts OF nature. From every
point of view It is one Of the most
helpful friends Of man. Perhaps no
other natural agent has done so much
for the human race and has been so
recklessly used and so little under
stood
One Of the points of deepest inter
est to the forester is the reproductive
power of his trees. Except in the
case of sprouts and other growth fed
by old roots. this depends first of all
on the quantity of the seed which
each tree bears; but so many other
considerations affect the result that a

A part of the seed is always unsound,

OLD THEATER LOTTERY

Builder Of crosby's Opera House Wen,
Broke on Enterprise and Decided

Doubtless in the rummage of a good

still be found elaborate and ornate

January 81, 1867. Nearly one hundred
thousand of those chances were sold
at SIS per chance, the builder OF the
opera house retaining more than TWEEN
ty-five thousand himself after the sale
had closed.
This beautiful theater, famous In
its day. was erected by Uranus H.
Crosby, prosperous wholesale liquor
merchant. who went to Chicago from
Massachusetts. He planned so mag
nificently that when he had his build
ing finished and furnished he had put
into 1t not only all his business money,
but most of his private fortune as

builder went broke. Then 1t was that
the plan to sell the house by lottery
was formed and carried out The
prospectus described the building and
its furnishings, the latter including a
number of very costly paintings. For
months the sale went on. The pur-
chasers covered the whole country.
The hopes of the winners ran high,
not only because of the capital prize,
the opera house itself, but because of
the lesser prizes, especially the paint
ings
The drawing was directed by a
board of men representing a half dozen
cities. For two days before it took
place train loads of ticket holders
rolled into Chicago. On the Sunday
preceding the Monday of the drawing
the streets were crowded. Improvised
sleeping accommodations had to be
provided for the vast throng. Every
hall, as well as every hotel and board
ing house, was filed to its capacity.
The grand prize was not reached I'M

Rocher. H. Several of the paintings,
including Bierstadt's "The Yosemite
Valley" were drawn by Mr.. Crosby.
Four days after the drawing Mr..
Lee went to Chicago, but, in recogni-
ton of Mr.. Crosby's high purposes
and the sacrifices they had cost him,
offered to sell him the theater for
100000, which price was paid to him
by Mr.. Crosby out OF the proceeds of
the lottery. This restoration of for

TO FERTILIZE
YOUNG PLANTS
Liquid Manure. Usually Wasted,
Contains All Elements OF
Commercial Fer
ttIizer.
CBy w. MILToN KELLYO

We frequently read or hear OF the
relative merits of liquid and solid
manures discussed. Some make the
assertion that liquid manure is the
best and base their claims upon the
fact that It promotes more rapid
growth to plants when young than the
solid manure.
On the other hand it is claimed by
a number of excellent authorities that
the solid manure is the best on ac-
count of its lasting benefits by supply
ing humus, or partially decomposed
vegetable matter, to the soil, which
increase the capacity of conserving
moisture and also improves the tex
ture.
We believe that the best and most
satisfactory results are made when
both liquids and solids are used in
the same relative proportions as when
made.
According to our best informed
men in soil culture and fertilizers,
liquid manure contains approximately
the same amount of fertilizing ma
terial as the solid. but the fertilizing
elements present in the liquid portion
are in condition to render them i'm
mediately ready for the growing
plants.
The liquid portion of manure which
is usually lost, or rather wasted,
through imperfect methods OF hand
ling and saving. contains the same
expensive fertilizing elements that

CUTS A SMALL FIGURE
BRIDEGROOM AMOUNTS TO BUT
LITTLE AT THE WEDDING.
He Must Assume Neutral Demeanor
and Dress for Ceremony, and
Then Is Made to Feel Like
Brigand.

To realize the small figure cut by
need only peruse the pages of book
Of etiquette having to do with the
marriage ceremony. There are reams
of instructions for the bride, from
how to carly her veil to how she
shall greet the business acquaint-
ances of her father. But how about
the poor, neglected bridegroom
There are no pages written. for his
enlightenment. He does well to get
a paragraph or so tucked down near
the end of the story. No one tells
him how 10 carry his hat or cares
whether he has a hat at all. He is
supposed to efface himself-to en-
ter into the scheme of things only
when the ceremony cannot go along
without him.
There is only one occasion upon
which the bridegroom is absolutely
necessary. and that is when the min
lister must have someone to pro-
nounce the husband of the fair bride.
Even then the poor harassed man
has propensity for slipping the ring
into the wrong pocket, so that he is
compelled to tumble for 1t. In the
end he drops it, whereupon 1t prompt
ly rolls out of sight, and is rescued
only after much confusion and con
siderable embarrassment. Men with
out number have been known to for
get the golden circlet of sweet bond
age altogether.
Not only must the man in the case
assume a neutral demeanor during
the festivities, but he must dress the
part. His clothes are black and sol
emn to behold; he is allowed to dis
play absolutely no Partially in the
choosing of his wedding garments.
He looks very much the same as he
has dozens of times when attending
formal affairs. The bride may be a
veritable Flora. wreathed with gar
ments, yelled in mist of tulle and
filmy lace. The only festal note al
lowed the bridegroom is single
blossom or boutonniere of white
against the somber blackness or his
coat.
Another thing-he has always been
led to believe the woman of his choice
loved him devotedly, that her parents
approved of him as a son and that he
was generally persona grata. Yet
when the day of happy contamination
arrives every one weeps over the
bride, who thereby endangers her
own loveliness by wiping the tear
drops from her shining eyes with a
wisp of lace masquerading as a hand
kerchief Every tear is like a stab
TO the man standing by wondering
what it is all about and feeling very
much like brigand caught in the act
of stealing away a beautiful young
maiden.
All this sentlmentalism and panoply
of love is very dear to the heart of a
girl dreaming. as she has, over the
most wonderful, the most eventful
day of her life. Yet when the loneli-
ness of the bridegroom. despite the
fact that this is his wedding day and
one quite as momentOus to him as to
the bride, is taken INTO considera-
ton. small wonder then that so many
pairs of lovers wing their way Sc
cretly to some quiet nook and take

on the character Of reproduction.
Trees with heavy seeds, live oaks,
hickories, and chestnuts, can SOW
them only in their own neighborhood
except when they stand on steep hill
sides or on the banks of streams, or
when birds and squirrels carry the
nuts and acorns to a distance. Trees
with light, winged seeds like the pop.
lars, birches, and pines, have a great
advantage over the others, because
they can drop their seeds long way
on. The wind is the means by which
this is brought about, and the adap-
tation of the seeds themselves is often
very curious and interesting.
