Farmers in many sections tributary
to Princeton are getting Interested in
the cultivation of clover and the work
OF the farm Institutes is beginning to
bear fruit in, this. part of the State.
Not long since a farmer living near
Princeton was visiting a neighbor who
had moved here from an old settled
part of the country and who knew the
value of clover to the land. The new
farmer had tried the land and knew
that clover. could be raised very sue
cessfully and he asked the farmer who
had lived in this section since boy
hood days if he had tried clover. The
man who had passed up clover for
many years was. very frank and said
that he was ashamed to say so, but ad-
mitted that he had not tried clover un-
til the last year. He had attended the
farmers institute last winter in Prince
ton and had heard Mr.. Terry, the
Ohio clover man, and the Minnesota
farmer became convinced that he had
been making a serious mistake in his
farming and resolved to try clover.
He reported very good success, and
will pay much attention to clover in
the future. There are lots of other
farmers who should do likewise.

READVILLE, Mass, Sept. "a
Purses of $21 900 were offered for the
events of the New England breeders
meet at the Readville track today.
Lord Derby captured the $4,000 purse
in the 207 trot, while the other big
purse, $1,000, for the New England
Futurity for foals of 1899, was won
by The Rajah, sired by Prince of In
dia. 3. f. buttons pacing team Darrell
and Conner tried twice against their
own team record of 2:10, and in each
heat succeeded in lowering their for
mer record a second and a quarter.
There were but four entries In the
2:07 trot. Lord Derby drew the pole,
with Chain Shot next. then Onward
Silver and Amelia outside. Some lit
tie difficulty was encountered in scor-
ing the first heat, Lord Derby coming
down slowly. Finally the judges
threatened to fine Spear unless he
drove Lord Derby down with the 9TH
ers, and good start was made. Lord
Derby broke just after starting and
Amelia took the pole and led all
around and finished first, Lord Derby
just escaping the distance flag. Time,
2: 06%.
All Derby's Way.
IN the second heat Chain Shot took
the lead, with Amelia second and Lord
Derby way behind at the half, but here
Lord Derby began to assert his rights
and rapidly overhauled the field, beat
ing Chain Shot by a head. Time,
2:07%. In the third and fourth heats
Lord Derby outclassed the others and
won easily. Time, 2:OS%, 2:09.
The New England Futurity stake
brought out six starters. The bay
horse Direct View ran away from the
others in the first heat and won in
2:161a, but went up in the air in each
of the two succeeding heats, which
were both won by The Rajah in slow
er time than the first heat.
The best racing of the day occurred
in the 2:09 pace the game little horse

U TEAM WORKING HARD
COACH PUTS THE GoPHERs
THROUGH A FAST PRACTICE
Though Work Is Streaked With Fun
bling and Not the Best of Punting,
Candidates Show Marked improve
ment - Harris Is Injured - Boeck-
man to Try for End Position.

The most spirited practice of the
season was INDUCED in by the Gopher
squad yesterday afternoon on Nor
throp field. The secret practice lasted
longer than on previous days, and
from the sight the men presented when
the executive stunt was over, it could
readily be seen that DR.. Williams had
pressed the work to a considerable eX-
tent,
The secret practice was not mark
er, however, for what followed. 1t was
nearly $3.50 when the big gates of the
park were thrown open. A large crowd
had been waiting on the outside, and
there was rush for seats by the en-
thuSiaStS anxious to see the kickerS
work.
The first and second teams were
soon lined up for scrimmage, and the
real brisk work of the afternoon was
on. Dr. Williams was in charge Of the
first team, while Assistant Coach Do
bic directed play on the second eleven.
In DR.. Williams aggregation were
Rogers and Tuck at ends, Van Valken-
burg and Olson at tackles, Flynn and
Nelson at guards, Strathern at center,
Irsfield and Davies took care Of the
halves, Harris and Nye at quarter and
Thorpe at full.
The second team was quite differ
ent from that which has lined up
heretofore, many new faces appearing
for duty with this bunch. The work on
both sides was snappy from start to
finish, and the honorS were pretty
evenly divided.
Dobie's men started off aggressive
1y, and for time made matters inter-
esting for the veterans. While tack
ling one of the opposing players "Sig"
Harris injured one of his hands and
was forced to retire, Nye succeeding
him. Two players on the second team
also received injuries during the
scrimmage and had to give way to
other men.
The open practice lasted to 6
o'clock. Although the play was
streaked with fumbling, and not the
best of punting, at times the work on
both sides was excellent. The attempts
at individual performances were few.
Boeckman, who it is said, will try for
one Of the ends, made his first appear
ance in uniform yesterday. He did not
figure in the scrimmage work, but in
dulged in light exercise on the field.
Should Boeckman land one of the ends,
in all probability he will crowd out
Tuck, who has been working faithfully
at right end since the team started
practice. Tuck is a good man, but
ter reason will have a big fight on his
hands to retain the position.
The feature of the week on Northrop
field will be the game between the
varsity and Carleton elevens Saturday
afternoon. Little has been heard from
the Carleton kickers, but it is expect
ed that some good material will be on
hand to give the big fellows a hard
run.
