dressed a fair sized audience In the court
house this aftcinoon upon the subject of
"Soil Culture. " He gave some valuable In
formation to the farmers.
The lecture was Illustrated by charts Il
lustrating the difference In the growth of
roots under the various mechanical condi
tions of the soil. He dwelt at some length
upon the Importance of thorough tilling of
the soil to encourage root growth , showing
very clearly the best results were found only
In finely pulverized and linn soil. Ho also
made clear his prlnclp'e ' of storing the rain
fall In the soil and how under certain phjs-
ical conditions water was readily and quickly
taken Into the eoil , while under other con
ditions It would not go Into the soil. The
storage of molsturo In the giound Is simple
and only requires knowledge of these points
and n little effort on tbo pait of the tiller
of the soil. He also urged very strongly the
use of barnyard manures , not because Nebraska -
braska soil was not already very fertile , but
because the more .manure was allowed to decompose -
compose In the soil the more water was held
subject to the plant by th& Increase of
manure.

that is apt to reach a point of unusual Inter-

jesterday and continued until March 2. It
Is acase wherein Henry Slitt of Silver
Creek sues the Silver Creek State bank for
$200. It seems that some time in 1891 Slitt
left Silver Creek very suddenly , leaving
considerable money on deposit In the Silver
Creek State bank. During his absence the
bank. It is claimed by Slitt , applied a good
portion of his deposit to settling claims
against him. Ho claims that the > bank had
no right tolo this without his consent , and
ho now sues for rccov cry of the money. The
bank intends to flght th's ' claim stubbornly
and the case will probably land In the supreme
premo court for final settlement.
