PLANT MANGElS EARLY.

II the ground can be well prepared
early In the spring and the seed sown at
that time, the chances for securing a
good stand Of beets are much greater
than II the sowing be delayed until later,
according to G. c. Watson Of the Pc
Insylvania agricultural college. One
serious difficulty in securing good
stand Of the beets when sown later iu
the season Is that the young plants do
rot become established before the
ground becomes so dry that they suffer,
Il they be not killed entirely from the
drought The Mammoth Long Red and
the Yellow 0void have proved the most
satisfactory with me. The yellow

acre as the varieties named. Msngels

Ins UNIVERSITY OF MAlNe.

I The act Is done. The State College OF
I Agriculture and Mechanic Arts Is no
more, aud in its place Is established the
university OF Maine" With this
change, even the name and semblsnce
of agriculture have been stripped from
the institution. This contemplstes as
has been foreshsdowed in all the work
To that end, radical change from that
intended by its founders, in the character
and scope Of the work Of the institution,
and carries with IL call for aid from
the State unlimited either In amount or
in time. At the same time, agriculture
and mechanic arts, for the elevation Of
which the Institution was especially es-
tablished, get no advantage whatever
from the change nor from the three
hundred and fifty thousand dollars al
ready appropriated, or the sums To be
called for in the future. Rather must IL be

vided al the college, agriculture IL but

ing this chair Is giving his principal at
tention 10 the experiment station, as was
shown before the legislative college
committee.
state at large called for this change.
Certainly the educstOrs did not. Neither
were consulted, neither appeared before
the legislature. The scheme was worked
by an ambitious president, spending the
winter lobbying the Legislature, and
who from education and environment
fails TO appreciates the specific work he
Was called here 10 promote. This was
plainly shown in his address to the
members of the legislature on their visit
10 the college. and by his pleas before
the committee At the capitol.
Here ia the East, aud especially In this
state, the tendency Of young men Is
away from the industries. Easy places
are sought for, and they are taught TO
look upon the popular education OF the
day as the only stepping stones TO that
end. Special effort therefore Is needed
10 ennoble and encourage industrial edu-
cation. Especially Is this true OF agri-
culture. the noblest and most important
work Of man. This effort OF DR.. Harris
and the resulting action of the legis-
lsture lead directly away from this need
ed work. During all Of this lobby work
not claim has been put forth from any
one that agricultural education, or In
dusrrial or scientific education of any
description, would be promoted in any
degree BY a change to the university
plan.
The Maine Farmer endorses education
al work in its brosdest application. But
classical sud literary courses are amply
provided for az the three other colleges
In the state. The institution at Orono
was established 10 ill place these other
colleges did not reach. A university Is
not now needed for the educational
training these others are so we'll provid-
ing. Hence We emphatically disspprove
OF the action taken, As unwise in every
respect, and detrimental 10 the interests
of sgrieulture.-Maine Farmer.

III" GL"v" CONTEST Law.

Governor Sad!er has affixed his
signature to tho bill licensing glove
contests between man and man III
this state, and it is now the law.
While we THINK the law to be one ot
doubtful p pricty. we believe that
the State will receive some benefit
from it's enact ment. It will be adj
vertised us never before as shown by
the following from the Reno Gazette
Of the 29th: .4 .....
GThe wires we're kept red hot last
night between Carson and eastern
cities with priza fight news. The
New York Tribune asking for 10000
words, and :he Times, journal,
World, and in fact, every paper pub
ished i'll the large cities of the east
asked for a report. Nevada will get
plenty o. advertising now"
The law seems to be carefully
guarded at every point to
insure none but tirst.class glove
contests. The license fee is placed
at such Il high figure thot but few Of
the men engaged in this sort OF work
can pay it, This will surely detar all
but the batter class of pugilists from
taking advantage Of the law. Then,
too it IL claimed by the advocates OF
the law that the amount OF revenue
it will bring into the State treasury
will more than compensate for any in
jury it may inhict upon the morals
Of the State. ... ..
Prize fighting like great many
other things is not catching and we
cannot see how it will effect the NOR
ais of anybody unless he is that way
inclined anyhow and is. only waiting
for an opportunity to exhibit his in
cliuations to the public. Looking at
the matter from an impartial stand
point and as one who would have
voted against the measure had he
been a member Of the legislature, we
fail to see how the. law will work any
great injury to the STATE, ., -. h..
If the law should prove to be as
injurious to the State as it's oppo
nents claim, the sentiment Of the bet
ter class Of people in every commun-
ity will prevent any contests fro m
taking place within, the State and the
next legislature viii undoubtedly
repeal it, While it is, the law, how
over, it hould abs .oboyed and the {,
people or the State should make the
most Of it. Nothing will be made by
heaping abuse upon those who voted
for it or the Governor for signing it.
The better way is to grin and bear it
at least until the time comes for elect
ing q new lot Of lawmakers.
