black horse, and bay mare from Texas,
on Saturday afternoon, for fifty dollars a

starting, and the first heat resulted un-
satisfactorily, beth parties claiming the
victory. A carriage not having been sent
around to take newspaper reporters to
the grounds, we cannot venture an opin-
ion. However, a second trial resulted
in the horse winning by about thirty
feet.

sow 8 broadcast, in the time,honored way.
Others, and among them not few of the
most progressive farmers, rig a seed

that, although they plough from eight to
ten inches deep, yet the grains OF wheat
tall just in time to be caught by about
two inches in depth of the lap OF the
urrow. The writer ssw some large
fields near Woodbridge which had been
treated in this way, aud i was the pret

considered necessary to harrow after
sowing in this way If it is on summer
