Four Good Races Pulled Off at Mystic
Park.

Boston, September 25.-The annual
meeting of the New England Trotting
Horse Breeders Association opened at
Mystic park today. Although the num-
ber of animals on the ground is smaller
than at the previous meeting, an i'm
provement in quality and breeding is
noticeable and officials say that the
meeting promises to be the best ever
held by the association. On account of
rain today many people supposed there
would be no racing and the attendance
was consequently small. Four races We're
pulled of, however, on a muddy track,
and some of them were particularly
good. Only one favorite won, Gilcurry,
in the ais pacing class. In the 800
class trot Howard J.. was the favor1te,
but was at the end of the string in the
first heat. Then selling at ten to one, he
took the second heat but was beaten out
in the third. In the yearling race Lady
Alley, the favorite, was easily beaten by
Princess Clara Unkamet was the
favorite in the three-year-old race, but
owing to the unsteadiness lost to Zebrlno.

COUNTY ATTORNEY CHARLES A. TRUE.
Tense. 1t was a little after ten o. clock
when Sheriff Cram appeared in the south
doorway and announced "the court"
County Attorney True, accompanied by
Assistant County Attorney Webb, had
already come in and taken the seats be-
fore the jury seats, which are usually oc-
cuied by counsel for the government
Besides the counsel, other arrivals to at
tract attention were those of ex-City
Clerk John S. Russell, and present City
Clerk Edwin L. Dyer, the latter bearing
the large check list of Ward One and
/ other city documents. Promptly fol-
lowing the announcement of the court"
Judge Bonney came in and took his seat
on the bench. At the same time Deputy
Sheriff Doughty made the usual procla-
nation, calling upon those having bust
ness before the court to come forward
and present it.
There was more or less delay caused by
consultations of counsel, but finally
Deputy Clerk of Courts Libby called
upon Thomas r. Harper to come forward
and give attention while the jury was
being selected.
The ex-Warden, who was already in
court, came forward and took seat near
his counsel. He was dressed neatly, and
seemed thoroughly impressed with the
seriousness of the situation.
The empaneling of the jury was not
long process, although there were several
challenges. The first man called, George
Lord, of Portland, was peremptorily
was the next, Edwin R. Staples, whom
Mr.. Clifford, counsel for Harper, chal-
lenged peremptorily. Josiah Morrill,,
of West Cum berland. was accepted after
some questioning by Mr.. Clifford. So also

London, September 25.-The Liberia
campaign against the Peers will open In
earnest at the next Congress .of the Ma
tional Liberal Federation, This Con-
gress will adopt as permanent plank In
the party platform demand for the re-
form or abolition Of the upper house.
The Earl of Rosebery, Secretary of State
for foreign affairs, advocates the crea-
ton of single Senate, in which the he
reditary element Of the, House of Lords
shall be preserved as subordinate ele-
ment.
The approach of the campaign against
the lords has caused several English
bishops to propose to leaders of the
church in Scotland that they join an Of
fensive and defensive alliance to fight
dis-establishment and the reform of the
upper house. The Scotch Churchmen,
however, received the proposal so coldly
that the project of an alliance has been
abandoned. The Scotch clergy seem to
regard Welsh disestablishment as newt
able and almost justifable. They do not
wish to link the fate of the Church in
Wales with that Of the Church in Scot
land.

COMPOSING sTABLE MANURE.
Piled in Heaps and Reduced to Pow
der Before Using.

I'VE believe the time is coming"
says the -AncrjcU23 CUltirut0r, when
most of the stable manure used will be
piled in heaps, and its carbonaceous
elements reduced to fine mold before
it is applied. 1t apparently saves time
to haul manure out to the fields as fast
as made, and it also apparently saves
the labor of extra handling it, the
manure pile. But in neither case is
this apparent gain fully realized.
Though coarse manure be drawn on
land it does not at once begin to help
the crop. Some decomposition must
ensue or else the plants and roots will
be poisoned by the acrid effects of the
fresh eXcrement, or the scarcely less
injurious drying effect of strawy vege-
table matter in the soil In so many
experiments with stable manure sew
eral months have to pass before much
good result is seen, and unless the
manure is applied before the crop is
sown, it's effect comes too late to do it
much good. The land is benefited but
the crop is not helped.
"lf stable manure were rotted down
to fine powder it would be applied
much more effectively than now to
most grain crops. 1t might even be
drilled in, as mineral manures now
are, or better still, it might be mixed
with the mineral and both be applied
together. Such use of stable manure
makes little go a long way, and for
| grain with better results than comes
from the use of coarse, unfermented
manures. Not. only is such fertility
concentrated, but it is more available,
| and thus helps early in the plant
growth when help is most needed.
After grain roots have vigorous start
| they will generally push far enough to
! secure all the plant food required TO
perfest a full crop, Moreover, the
larger leaf which vigorous early growth
insures enables the plant to gather
more carbon from the atmosphere, the
great storehouse from which most, eX-
cepting The mineral elements OF crops.
are produced.
"The drawing of large amounts OF
coarse manure on land seems to till it
with vegetable matter. But the
amount of humus in the soil, which is
the real test, is Only what all this
coarse, strong manure will make when
rotted down to mold. Those who
know to what small bulk rotted
stack of straw will come can Judge how
little effect it can have in permanently
increasing the quantity of vegetable
matter in the soil. A clover ley, fill
ing the soil and sub-soil with roots, is
much better and more immediate
help to soil fertility than is dressing
| of coarse manura IT. comes much
cheaper also and if the manure is
