Jiu -of the Improved methods, Mr. "Hu ism IsaJd: npvery fanner understands the eoil randiUohs necessary for . a successful - truck patch or garden, which are in - the main as follows, to-wit: Deen breaking (plowing)--aoil thoroughly t puiTertied plenty or, humus, vege ' Sabla mould ? or barn, yard manure, . and good dmnlage. These conditions sire just as essential for profitable .Held crops as for the garden. : r The deep breaking for field crops should be done In the fall, and should ' imt b less than eight Inches deep ultimately the progressive Southern farmer will try to - average ten to twelve Inches. The objection Is urged that. to turn . p so much poor soli at once -will ruin the land. It is not proposed to turn It up an til It has been aired a few years. The way 1 to use a. common ' taming plow run at the usual depth; then In the same furrow run a sec . ond plow, a trifle narrower. Just be V timd ' th first plow, using snother inula or span of mules. If the first . plow outa four Inches ietp, the second , ' should eut four more, making eight in an. . If the land will permit, cross - ' plow four Inches fleeo thirty diysi ,.-1 later: then harrow. In dry sections the barrow should always follow the plow. Of course, cro plowing Is " iot admissible where rl(!g! cultivation must follow, tTBE DISC PLOW. , "A ' better method than the double t r flowing above described Is to w a sub-soil plow or a disc plow, as . u neither of these Implements throw any " - aub-soll to . th surface. The dine , plow is more aconomlcal, because it does the surface and sub-soil etirrliiff ' wtn one instrument. t iMMtmiM w plow. The oeeper we plow the more !

On heavy soils the roller and disc har- rows are almost Indispensable to crush ;lhe clods end pulverise the soil. "If , this Is done four or five inches . deep,' so that the young plant can get 1 a good start, with reasonable after care the crop is assured. A dod is like unplowed lan J it holds little moisture and yields scarcely no plant - food -" The best seed has little ohanoe , la r a poorly prepared seed-bed. A finely pulverised soil aids germina . tioa. Increases the amount of plant food available, stores more moisture ' and is" more rapidly penetrated ' by the air and the rays of the sun, - Even igranite rock, if thoroughly pulverized, will support vegetation. , VEGETABLE MATTER NEEDED. J third requisite of good prepara tion of i the soil is to Stave plonty of vegetable matter In it, Thla is gen erally secured toy turning under cow- S peas or green crops of any kind, or using af mould or barn-yard ma- - tiure. S Vegetable matter makes a soil porous, f rfable, easily worked, ; re sistant of drouths.? TWs vegetable - matter called humus, absorbs and retaine the food prepared in the soil .by the "action of the air an J heat, and gives it off to ths plants as re quired. ' It warms the soli, adding frequently several degrees. of heat. A HEAL TVOXDERLAm , : .

"One of the most essent! I f ' -menta for success in the j: .ji: t bf, field crops Is drainage. tar t ...i are mainly of A close texture and re quire plenty of ditches to carry o.t the surface - water and the surplus soil war. Frequently the plart food Is vitiated an J the soil kept coll and closed to the action of the air by the standing water ia it. When ever a freshly dug post-hole readily fills with water until it stands within elx Inches or even a foot of the sur face, there la too much water in tlie soil. Field ditches for drainage should not be leas than' two feet deep, and should have a good outlet. Drainage facilitates early planting and in a large measure determines its success by removing the surplus wa ter, and allowing th sun's ran- to warm the soli.

Academy of Music neat week and i; already the young hopefuls of the esrabHahment, and thedr friends, carrier ftwys, oopy boys, messenger boys, are beginning to troop into the Mule Pen and; file requests for passes. When "Madam Butterfly" was In the city they wera conspicuous' by ithelr absence, fltttl Columbus Mills being the only one of the tribe with nerve enough to ask for a 3 seat at a grand opera per formance, a request wnich toad to be reluatantly denied because he "would not agree to honor the occasion by donning so much as a collar, to eay nothing of a drees suit. . Wkh many, however, it is not much, a matter of toe v fitness of things, as regards the market price jof tickets, as of pure desire and tn- tuilion. The average youth or la or 15 finds bis affinity in & stock com pany. For weeks In advance lie. will know of its coming. The first infor mation the writer had that one was headed this way came from the. Hps of such , suppliant The leading lady is the object of his admiration, the villain of his unspeakable hatred, the leading man ot Bis unlimited adoration, and the more pistols he flourishes and the more recklessly the better, tot the boy's opinion of him. ' "Darn the good shows, said Willie Farrell scornfully the other day. "Wtiat,do I care about e show that just's all talk? I want ' something I can understand. Give me a stock company or a musical comedy." Willie's case Is a peculiar one. Living as he, does In , classic at mosphere, he admits from force of habit or by concession lo his sur- rroundlngs that the ahowa he does not like are good, in fact of a class above his favorites, though perhaps he does not understand exactly why, but h is honest enough In a moment of candor to give expression to the taste that is in him. Hence be, too, takes no note of the presence of Annie Russell or Otis Skinner, but sits up and takes notice when (the stock company dnuweth nigh. Next (week will be a Joyful one for the IX THE POLICE COURT. Bunch Arrested Who live on Four teenth Street, But Only One Con rioted of Disorderly ConductHe 'Fessed Up.

Cribble -ha.i i.aued two war rants for J!f. Wren, charg-ir. him with a simple assault upon his .little boy and also a trespass . upon his property. Mr. and Mrs. Cribble were not at home Friday, having gone away and left their children by themselves. Mr. Wren ot into a quarrel with Mr. Cribble's little boy sometime during the day and the father alleges that his child was used roughlyi Mr. Wren eald nothing at : ail about the affair, notwithstanding the fact ' that he lived adjacent ,to Mr. Oribblef v The latter waited until noon yesterday and he sent officers for Mr. Wren armed with taa two warrants. When the. officers brought ths defendant to the court house for trial, Mr. Grlbble went immediately to the telephone to call tn attorney, Mr. Frank M. Shannonhouse. He stat ed that Mr. Wren followed him from Magistrate Cobb's office, stopping at the door of the sherifTs . office in which the telephone ia placed. Re turning Mr. Grlbble faced Mr. Wren at the foot of the stairs, and the lat ter called to him, saying . that he wanted to see him- . To this Mr. Grlb ble repUeJfthat he had given him am ple. time to make apologies and that h would '! give him no i Jonger. He then landed a blow on Mr. Wren, who fell Immediately under Its force. He was being pummeled "j considerably when some court, house officials ran oat anl pulled Mr aribWe.off.'vi;;,.;1:; The two men then went to 'Squire Cobb's office, where the other two cases were taken up.'

Both the 'an tagonists shoolp hands 'afterward and pledged their friendship. "There ' had been no trouble previous to -this be tween them, and both' had been on friendly terms, Mr. Grlbble being an immediate neighbor of Mr. Wren and also a renter from him.
