Tense in Hastings.

Hastings, Mimi, Jan. 3-The case
Of P. j. Gibbons, on trial for the MUIR
;ier OF Father r. j. Walsh at South
St. Paul on May 20, proved decidedly
interesting, notable insanity experts
on the part of the state testifying in
"a technical manner and there was
sharp clashing by counsel on both
sides.
DR.. Haldor Sneve, of st. Paul, testt-
fed that he was graduate of the
medical college of Dayton, O., for
merly assistant superintendent of the
institution for the insane of that city,
and at present a practicing physician
ard professor of mental and nervous
diseases at the University of Mime
sofa. He defined insanity in its vari-
GUS forms and gave his opinion, after
hearing all the testimony in the case,
that Gibbons was suffering from de-
fusion at the time of the homicide, but
Wacther an insane one or not he was
unable to say. There was evidence OF
chronic alcoholism, with tendencies to
produce unrest and nervousness, and
TO cause. a homicidal idea
DIR. A. M. Adsit Of Hastings test
|fed that he was a graduate CT the
Columbus Medical college of Ohio, a
n-acticing physician in Hastings and
surgeon at the state asylum. He had
made a special study of mental and
nervous diseases At the time OF the
homicide, in his opinion, Mr. Gibbons
was suffering from chronic alcoholism
but he knew the nature Of his act
DR.. Sneve, recalled, answered Ger.
tain technical questions, but was I'm.

Commercial fertilizers are expensive
and should be used only when needed
and then the deficiencies and require
ments of the soil and Of the crop must
be matter Of accurate knowledge
before they can be used with economi.
cal benefit.
The character OF the soil has a
marked Influence on the quantity and
kind of fertilizer it is necessary to
use in a good system of farming. And
because a fertilizer is strikingly eff
fective on one crop upon certain
kind of soil it is not proof that the
same combination will be at all bene-
fetal to that crop on another kind Of
soil and certainly not that its use UNI
der different crop upon another soil
will be economical. Yet this is too
common practice among a certain
class of farmers.
With good rotation. deep and thor
ough tillage and the use cf green
manures. legumes and winter cover
crops the quantity Of commercial fer
filters required for given crop yield
can be considerably reduced and a
great saving effected Some farmers
get twice as large yields as others,
both located on similar soils. due to
the fact that the former have a better
understanding of the use of fertilizers
and employ better farm methods.
No definite quantity or proportion of
fertilizev constituents can ever pe
given that will meet the needs of .
crop under all circumstances, as the
rotation of crops, the growing of leg
umes, the use of crops for green ma
nuring, the application Of barnyard

soil will always be factors which must
be taken into consideration when using

CHANGES IN THE SOIL.
Nebraska Trying to Ascertain Effects
Of Present Methods of Farming.

Nebraska Trying to Ascertain Effects
Of Present Methods of Farming. IS,
The Nebraska experiment station has
been making some Investigations in the
line Of determining the amount of soil
depletion by present methods of farm
ing. These We're confined to the deep,
heavy loan soils that are common TO
many parts Of the northwest.
a recent bulletin gives the results ct
the analyses of many samples of soil
taken ut different depths from the sur
face inch to the sixth foot. It also
shows the composition of the surface
soil Of prairie fields compared with
that Of adjacent long cultivated fields
the history Of which is known.
1t would appear from the analyses
that the only form Of plant food that
cient to be detected by chemical analy,
sis is nitrogen. The only important soil
constituents, whether used as plan,
food or not. that have declined appre-
ciably after thirty to fifty years of cul-
tivation are the nitrogen and organic
matter These two constituents rise
and fall together. They decrease rap
idly in amount from the surface down
ward. Accordingly the washing away
or blowing away of the surface soil
will make the soil poorer in these con
stituents. The greatest losses in the
past have been caused by washing or
blowing. The content of the other
forms Of plant food is rather higher IN
the subsoil than in the surface soil and
accordingly is not injuriously affected
by the removal Of surface soil.
To maintain the surplus of nitrogen
and organic matter it will be neces-
sary to prevent the removal Of surface
soil by wind or water in so far as pos
sible. Further. the burning of straw
and stalks should be avoided, and ali
barnyard manure should be returned
to the land. Even if these precautions
be observed, there will be steady de-
cline in the cultivated fields unless le-
gumes Glover or alfalfa) be grown or
the produce of other fields be fed and
the manure applied. BY growing clio
yer or alfalfa the nitrogen and organic
matter may be increased at the same
time that a profitable crop is obtained.

LIGHTNING KILLS
 BOY AND OLD NEGRO
Hopkins Carlisle, of Promi- nent Alexander City Fam
 fly, Victim of Storm

Alexander City, July n.-During the passing of thunder-cloud this afternoon about 2 D. m and while at work. in the field. Hopkins Carlisle about Is years old. son of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Carlisle of this city, was struck by lightning and instantly killed
 By tho same stroke of lightning an old coored man, familiarly known as Uncle Bob Hammock, who was working in the field with Hopkins, was also instantly Filled. News was immediately telephoned into town of the tragedy and many friends in buggies and autos rushed to the scene to render aid and comfort. DTS. Dean and Street were among the first to arrive, but on arrival the two were found to be dead.
 As soon as the fate of the boy was known telegram was immediately dis patched to Hoyt Carlisle, his eldest brother, now in Birmingham. where he is taking a business course, and also to MT. and Mrs. D. Y. Carlisle, his grand parents, at Wadey, Ala
 It seems that when the shower came up Hopkins and his next young brother, John and Uncle Bob, went for a large hickory tree with the mule to obtain d partial shelter during the shower, and the bolt of lightning came down the tree kill ing the two just named, and shocked lit tie John to such an extent that first re- ports had it that he was also killed It is miraculous that little John was not in- stantly killed for he states now that he was in an arms distance of his brother and Uncle Bob when the lightning came.
 ". H. Carlisle, father of the deceased boy, is well known to the business world as one of the leading merchants of this city as W. H. Carlisle & Go.
