walton OF Com" Mr. Goodwin says, use va
riety that will adapt itself to almost any climate
thai small corn grows best on the hills; that corn
land should be plowed in the fall that the frost
may loosen the soil; that the disc harrow Il the
best for preparing corn ground; that corn can be
pie nsed by q machine the best and by the use OF
the Thomas harrow much better crop can be OBJ
tanned than by planting by hand and not In the
old way. Corn should not stand long in the field

ton" lie thinks that stable manure is the best
fertilizer for land, aud that manure should be
saved without teaching or heating. Mr.. Lanes
lecture showed clearly TO farmers what they
should use for fertilizers and how they should
be used. Mr., Levi j. Walbridge OF Cabot gave
his manner OF fertillzng land that was worth but
IS per acre so that he raised twenty mine hun
dred bushels Of marketable potatoes on thirteen
acres.
"Our pastures" was the subject treated by T.
r. Towle Of Franklin MIR Towle says that old
pastures make the best OF fields when titled; that
with reasonable outlay our pastures would be
tIpy benefited; that manure and phosphate
together applied TO pastures are better than either

At Cabot
TUESDAY MORNING.

The meeting called to order by ii A. Cut
ting, secretary Of the board, and Judge Fisher
was elected chairman, after which II. A. Cutting
spoke on What we may learn by observation. I"
He advised farmers TO select the best seed In the
market at whatever cost and to plant no seed
which has not been tested. No seed should be
allowed to freeze while there Ia moisture in it.
10 making maple sugar, sap should always be
strained, no matter how pure 1t may seem, and the
sap should be made into sugar as fast as p6 ssble
lie rec mmended experiments to find out what
the soil needs for the production Of crop
Farmers dry their hay too much. Too much sun
shine on hay hurts it and the quicker the NOW Is
filled the less dust there will be. The odor from
the stable il detrimental to the stock. The best
way to ventilate a barn Is to have a wooden
chimney from the cellar to the roof and connected
with the stable. He believed salt to be great
help to fields and plaster to pastures and that
land Should be fertized every year

In the evening Dr. Cutting delivered his lee
ture on I" Plant Growth" ard the subject Of en-
silsge was discussed. Several farmers no had
built silos, gave their experience and all recon-

WEDNESDAY EVENING.

In the evening more young people came in,
nearly two hundred being present. The lecture
was by NJ W. Davis Of the board subject What
farmers need look after" very compre hem
sive subject and it was we'll looked after by Mr..
Davis But little discussion was had The
large range OF topics brought into this lecture
renders any synopsis of 1t impossible in this brief
report. A. j. HOLSTER gave some Of his expert
ence In the ensilage method OF feeding but the
lateness Of the hour prevented any general consd-
GRAFTON OF that subject. The meeting was ad-
jonrned at $50 and the audience seemed well
satisfied that the meeting so far was very good !"

Mr. Davis spoke on the subject, WASTES Of the
farm" The chief cause Of poverty among farmers
is the little wastes OF the farm, among which are
poor, cold barns, poor stock, unhoused manure,
etc. We should not spend our time at the store
and tavern. The farm products should be sold
when ready for market. We should raise our
own wheat and corn We should cultivate fewer
acres and till them better. Farming tools should
be housed We should use absorbents to save
the liquid manure. To obtain the best results in
butter-making we should select dairy of cows
of the same breed and then endeavor to make the
best article possible
j. 5. KeneIson of Peacham read a paper on
making and marketing butter He advised farm
ers to select good stock, feed regularly and well,
be careful not to work 1t too much, and when
ready for market 1t should be sold.

THE STAR ROUTE TRIAL.
PASSAGE BETWEEN MERRICK AND INGERSoLl
WHY RERDELI WENT OVER TO THE
GOVERNMENT.

An undignifed scene occurred between
Messrs. Ingersoll and Merrick in the Star
route trial on Wednesday. Merrick protested
against Ingersnlrs caustip attitude toward the
witness Rerdell, and when lngersoll said he
did not wish to be Interrupted, Merrick said
he would continue to interrupt without regard
to the wishes of counsel.
Mr. Ingersoll (warmly)-l do not want the
regard of counsel, and would consider his re-
gard an insult.
Mr. Merrick trimming quickly toward his
Opponent)-I never give my regard to a
puppy. :, Enthusiastically. .;.,.;u. -, -
heavy nkstand, and red with anger)-1 on
are a dirty dog.
The Court, pounding vigorously upon the
desk, finally restored order. Mr. Merriek
began to explain that he had been pressed
beyond the limits of human endurance, but
the Court, interrupting, said the language
was inexcusahle under any proyoeation.
Mr. Merriek expressed his sorrow, No
man had greater respect for the Court and
he would bow with submission to it.
The Court thought it WAS due to the Court
that the remark be retracted.
Mr. Merrick said that he would do it, by
direction of the Court, but pleaded the pro-
vocation given, and hoped the other counsel
would be asked to retract.
Mr.. Ingersoll said that so far as he was
concerned he would willingly ignore any re-
mark. But he wanted it understood that no
man roplI abuae him without resistance on
his part But no man was small enough or
little enough for him to Cypress OF abuse.
No man should come more than half way in
an offer Of compromise.
The Court said it regarded tho occurrence
as an alteration between counsel, not AIMED
at the dignity of the Court Upon the ques-
ton that had precipitated the alteration the
Government counsel seemed to have been i'll
the right, but after the quarrel had begun
language had been used by Mr.. Merriels that
should not have been used in court. But he
had now Withdrawn the epithet, and the other
counsel had done the same.
Mr.. Ingersoll wished to show that while
Rerdell was working for the Government he
was soliciting and receiving funds from Dor
sey for alleged legal expenses, but the Court
ref4sed to 60 into that subject. lngersoll then
said he was through With the witness, and the
other lawyers asked ReFdell f." qpeStlans
in behalf of Brady, Vale and Miner.
On redirect examination Rerdell said he
told Vale before he borrowed money of him
that he was in communication with the Gov
ernment, and was trying to get out ofthe case.
Mr.. Merriek told him to state his reasons for
becoming Government witness. Rerdell
said the first fact was the argument Of his
counsel in the last trial; then Dorsey, as if
suspecting him, came to the Jail and threaten
ed him with those letters. Again, his wife
told him of the condition of his Office, and
upon inspection he saw that some one had
"gone through it Convinced that he had
been deserted and thet it was Dorsey's pur.
pose to get him ont of the way, he then apd
. L. 20,
and in pursuance of that resolve went to see
Mr.. Woodward
