The Week Sees the Breaking of a worlds
Pacing and Vermont Track Record
The Chicago pacing stallion, star

Saturday wiped out forever the 2-minute
mark, and ended the controversy which
has been going on for years as to the
quality of the light harness horse. Ac
companied by a runner. the big bay
Tennessee pacing stallion wiped out the
mark. and had three quarters of a second
to spare when he went under the wire.
1t was the most wonderful performance
ever witnessed by light harness horse,
and seen by about 5000 people. 1t was
the more remarkable for Friday Joe
Patchen. with the great Geers behind
him. had made a shot at the mark made
bv John Il. Gentry last October, and had
failed by a second and a half. Because
of this it was not thought that his great
est rival in the race line would get down
below the even mark.
Immediately after the race. Star Point

PAGERS. were matched for a mile race at
Boston on September IL for a purse OF
$1,000. the winner to take all.
On the same day NermOnt's new track
record for a trotting horse, 2:ll4, was
broken by John X. Gentry at Barre. The
great PAGERS. John II. Gentry and Robert

little bay went away with good hurst
of speed. The mile was an unusually
even one The first quarter was made in
.3ll, the half in 80. the three quarter
in 80, and the mile in 2:O7. the fastest
time by four and one.half seconds ever
credited to horse over Vermont track
and within ,! seconds of the world
record for half mile rings.
Robert J.'s mile was altogether differ

quarter pole in 324, a whole second
slower than Gentry made it. At tht
half, which he went in :05, he was TIVE

The action of roots in the soil is not fully
known, but that they can alter the sub
stances presented and change the insolube
matter into plant food is admitted Silica
enters into the composition of plants in
many of them largely-yet is is substance
that is not really made soluble. The CLASSY
appearance of the blades of corn, the edges
OF which are sharp enough to cut the hand,
is due to silica, and it may be termed veg
etahle glass. Silica really provides the
bony structure of plants, and the roots have
tie power to appropriate it in Unlimited
quantity, especially if the soil abounds in
potash. 1t also exists abundantly in the
soil, and is not included in the list of fer
tilizers that are usually applied as plant
food.

ground and then haul manure over the
rough land in order to spread the manure
on the surface. When the land can he COW
cred with manure and then plowed a second
time later on the manure will be near the
surface and also well incorporated with the
soil, but there is then the objection to dou-
BILE work in blowing. 1t will pay, however,
to give the land two plowings-the first in
the fall or very early spring, and the second
just before planting-as a better seedbed
will be obtained.

NOTES.

Seed is costly, but the poorest method of
economy is that Of using rs little seed as
possible. A large number of clover crops
fail because not enough seed is used, and it
is better with some crop to have au extra
number of plants to come up and reno, e
those not desired than to have failure and
b. compelled to replant, as the time lost
cannot he recovered.

The oft-repeated fact that a pound of
steel manufactured into watch springs in
creases in value several hundreds of dollars
cannot compare with butter, which becomes
very valuable in proportion to the raw
material of which it is composed, as 5000
worth of butter is said to deprive the soil
of less than one dollars worth of plant
food. In fact, the larger share of the sub
stance composing butter (fat) comes from
the atmosphere, although it is done by
roundabout processes.

1t is estimated that an acre of soil to the
depth OF one foot will weigh about 1880
tons, and that if it contains % per cent. of
moisture the proportion will be $50 tons of
water per acre. An acre of land eight
inches deep which is deeper than the
average of plowing) weighs 1000 tons, aud
would thus hold 800 tons of water. As
low as five per cent. of water will sustain
plants, but they thrive best when the mois-
ture is about from II to % per cent.

Onions are grown on nearly all farms, if
even but a small patch is planted. They
are also given place in the garden, and
are the iirst of all spring crops to 20 in. In
this section they are grown mostly from
sets, " and are also grown upon the same
ground every year, but this should not be
done if the crop of last season was attacked
by tne maggot or seemed not to thrive
The land must be very rich, and there is
mo- danger of giving too much well-rotted
manure if a large yield is desired. About
half Il ton of bone meal, 50 pounds of

in the ground. Public speakers are
denouncing it, the newspapers are
making fun of it. and the people are
getting tired of it. The end of the
whole business may be a loss of re-

be well. Thursdays issue of the
Chicago Record, one Of the ablest
newspapers of the West, and one Of
the most widely read, touched upon
the marrow of the thing in a front
page cartoon. in which one Judge was
pictured as enjoining a workingman
from wishing he had better pay, and
another from thinking that govern
ment by injunction is wrong. Other
papers are referring to Judges who
have granted ex parte injunctions, in
a fippant manner as Injunction So

popular misinformation and mis-state-

That the coal company in
West Virginia was right in supposing
that Governor Atkinson was not such
a man has been abundantly shown by
that official himself since the granting
of the injunction order. He has re-
mitted the fine of man who had been
imprisoned for twenty-four hours, and
sentenced TO pay a fine of 800, the
sufficient penalty, in the opinion of the
West Virginia court, for shooting the
alienator OF his wifes affection And
in renting the fine, This astounding
executive INDUCED himself in speech
worthy only CT an outlaw, expressing
his regret that the injured husband haG
not been able to do mis- whole duty
and TO kill the destroyer Of his do
nestle happiness. 1t is not wonderful
that such a Governor should be deemed
untrustworthy when it comes to a
question between the law and local
popular opinion. The wonder l., m
view of the sentence inflicted upon the
subject of this gubernatorial rhapsody
Of crime, who goes forth with the as
surance of the pardoning power that
he is now at liberty TO commit murder
with impunity. that any one in West
Virginia can have anv more conf
Gence in the judges than in the poll
ticians of the executive branch Of the
government.
