The college through the division bf agros-

varieties Of alfalfa that have come from arid
oountriesi like New Mexico Last winter a
small quantity Of seed of two varieties, the
Hungarian and Bombay. was sent to the
station for trial These after the soil had
been well prepared we're lsowh and raked
in with a garden rake, in small plata The
seed was sown March 4th irrigated to pro-
duoe sermination March lith, and on the
ast Of March ten days after the
irrigation, the two aIfalfas were germinat- :
ing, and in a short time thereiter a good
stand was on the ground During the period
that the water lasted in the ditch five irrigas
tiohs were given the alfalfa on the following
dates March II and %, April iS, May and

The Bombay showed from the start, signs
Of being a faster grower than either the
Hungarian or the Medieago sativa, the com
mon alfalfa, by starting TO form q stem and
branching out FIRST. The tallost plants Of
the Hungarian and Bombay measured in
inches ?, 316 April 20; 8, TO- May 8 i6 and 81,

Since they we're outneither has been irrigated
and consequently the growth has been
materially retarded. However, since the
rains Of last week a thrifty growth Is pushing
forward ana BY the end onthe season We hope
to know more about these new alflifas.
There is no material dinoyenoe in the three
varieties mentioned except that, so far, the
Bombay makes a quicker growth but unlea
this proves tobe q permanent feature Of this

FOR REQUESTS.
Hearing on the Petition Of the Heirs
of {. ]. Nightingale.
No Relief 10 Be Given Until Liability on
Stock Has Been Determined.

There was a short hearing OF the
! equity cause brought by Horatio H.
Nightingale and other legatees under
the VIII OF the late Edward J. Night
ingale against Stephen If. Arnold and
James NJ. kimball. trustees under Mr..
Nlghtingale's win, TO obtain the be-
quests to them, the time providing for
distribution having long past. The re-
spondents in their answer say that
there is suit pending i'm the court.
namely, that of Charles III. Warren ct
al. vs.. Providence Tool company ct al.
winch is an action 10 decide as To the
Liability OF certain stockholders of the
defendant corporation for its debts. The
trustees say that should the decision CT
the court he that The stockholders are
liable the liability OF the estate OF Ed
ward j. Nightingale would be coexten-
sive with the amount OF FUNDS in their
hands and il would be therefore unsafe
for them as trustees TO distribute the
FUNDS in, their hands
Seeber Edwards counsel for the COM
plainants. said that if the stockholders
We're indebted under the act or lS4,.
the liability would be coeXtensive with
the funds i'm the hands of the trustees,
but il the decision Of the court was
that the stockholders were liable un-
der the acts OF 1876 and 1882. there
would be no so extensive a liability.
Chief Justice Matteson asked If tho
complainants in the stockholders liza
bility suit were parties TO the present
cause and on a negative relative being
given his honor asked how they could
be bound by any decision in the pres
ent case. Mr.. Edwards said that the
ground on which the complainants'
solicitor stood, namely. that the stock
holders of the tool company were liable
under the act OF ls46. was not tenable.
There was about $40 600 tied UP when
all the liability amounted 10. in his,
the speakers. opinion was $4,000
After Herbert Almy had stated the
position of the trustees substantially
as Mr.. Edwards had done and Mr.. Ed
wards had said the stockholders la-
bility case was not being very urgently
pushed. the court passed the case as
there was no way relief could be given
until the liability of Mr.. Nightingale's
estate as stockholder in the Provi-
dence Tool company could be deter
mined on.
