ton Farmers Club the subject discussed was,
What is the proper way to apply stable ma
nure?" We append the views of some of the
members
Mr.. D. H. Hollingsworth said: II think it
best to haul out stable manure and spread it as
il is made, spreading plaster on it. / think it
great benefit, as it helps to retain nitrogen.
I used three tons of plaster this year for this
purpose, with good results"
Mr.. r. E. Duvall said: my observation
has been manure plowed in for corn is the
best way, having obtained the best results in
this way, and for wheat prefer spreading it
on plowed ground and narrowing it in. Last
year where put manure on wheat ground in
this way found much better set of grass.
cannot see any lasting benefit from manure
unless plowed in for corn, and for this reason
l almost invariably follow that PLAN"
Mr. VIM. L. Amoss said: 81 think from ex-
pressions 1 have heard that there is loss from
Spreading manure on the ground that would
justify our piling it in heap. By piling it in
heap there is certain amount of evapora-
ton that is prevented. But when manure is
spread on the ground there is d gathering Of
nitrogen from the air, where in pile it is alb
sorbed. Speaking from my own experience,
think it best to spread it on the ground as it is
made" "a
Mr.. VIM. Hoskins said ~ like topdressing
with manure. By so doing the ground absorbs
all the good parts of the manure that is said to
be lost. l believe in spreading manure on
plowed ground for corn, as it makes mulch
for corn and retains moisture longer, showing,
when tomatoes are planted on this ground as
the next CROP the very rows where manure is
applied in this way" -.
Mr. VIM. Harlan said II have always been
an advocate for topdressing with manure
There is no doubt some loss but the gain made
by mulch produced counterbalances it,
Mr.. ]. B. Twning said: 81 have applied
manure both ways, topdressing with it and
also blowing it in. Have had fields where
weeds seemed to be going to take the field, but
after topdressing with manure have cut good
crops of clover. always haul out my stable
manure during the summer and spread it Cd
the pasture fields My corn was planted last
year on June Sd, and bad fine crop where
/ topdressed with manure and plowed under
crimson clover. always clean out the barn
yard before pillow for my last corn, as 1 do
not believe in letting manure lay in pile, for
fear of firing"

On Saturday last Judges Fowler and Burke
sitting in the Circuit Court here, heard argu
ment in the case of Charles H. Nicolai, trus
tee, against the Maryland Agricultural anc
Mechanical Association. The suit was brought
to secure decree for the sale of the property
known as the Pimlico race track on the GROUND
that it was being diverted from the purposes
for which it was acquired under the charter o.
the association.
1t is claimed that the association was char
tered for the purpose of promoting agricultur
al and mechanical pursuits. and secured large
appropriations from the city of Baltimore anC
the State of Maryland on the condition tha
when it failed to carry out these objects the
State and city should be repaid for the money
appropriated. The defendants demurred t

true. Messrs. Gill & Preston appeared for thu
plaintiff, and Mr.. w. Calvin Chestnut for thu
defendant. The court reserved its decision.

Eklo, 9Th District.-The long continued
dry weather, caused by the failure of the zap
pie blossom" "snow ball." sleep killing
and blackberry blossom rains to fall at the
usual time, has retarded the growth of farm
crops in this section and good field of grass
or grain is quite rare, and very few fields of
either will exceed 60 per cent. of the normal
yield. Corn has come up nicely, but as June,
July and August make the crop, it IS too early

locust lays its eggs on the ground. The cicada
punctures the twigs of trees and deposits its
eggs in the puncture, which causes the twjg

THE MOST DIFFICULT PROBLEMS.

In his address at Plttsburg, President
Roosevelt spoke of the concentration OF
great individual and corporate fortunes
as presenting especially difficult prob
lens. This wealth, rightly used, he
said is for the interests of the country,
but when not used right 1t becomes a
menace and a danger. In order to meet
these problems there must be new meth
DDS and instruments. He believed there
will be need OF new Legislation, but It
must be conceived in no radical or revo-
lutionary spirit, but In a spirit Of COM
mon sense, common honesty and a reso-
lutte desire to face facts as they are"
That is a position which will be ap-
proved by intelligent public opinion.
Reckless railing against combinations OF
wealth and ~demagogic demands for i'm
practicable or impossible methods Of
meeting the problems presented by
such combinations no longer have
the serious attention of thoughtful
and conservative men. These know,
as was said by the president, that
bNN PAObANAio must w bOANCu Wy
degrees, that 'if we recklessly try
without proper thought, without proper
caution, to do too much we shall do
nothing, or else we shall work ruin that
viii be felt most acutely among those
Of citizens who are most helpless"
While seeking remedies for the abuses
and Objectionable practices of the in
dustrial combinations it is necessary TO
consider what the effect of proposed
measures might be upon the independent
Industries. For example. II the tariff
should be taken on all articles manu-
featured by the combinations, would not
the effect be damaging TO those indus
tries that are outside OF and competing
with the -eomblnationsi Not all the iron
and steel manufacturers are in the trust
and so with other Industries. There are
many Independent companies producing
the same articles as the combinations
and we cannot strike at the latter
through the tari1 without hitting the
former. Another thing &c be considered
is the interests Of labor. Drastic meas
ures fol- the suppression OF the industrial
combinations. II they could be enforced,
would operate injuriously to hundreds

combinations. 1t may be said that this
labor would find employment in indie
pendent Industries, but It could not do
so at once. The resulting industrial and
business disturbance would preclude
this. Another matter for consideration
is the possible effect of the policy some
propose upon our foreign commerce. II
will not be questioned that the Industrial
combinations have had much to do with
the extension of our foreign trade. Their
destruction, It is therefore reasonable to
assume, would result in more or less
injury to the country in this direction.
Much can be lone along the lines of
supervision and regulation OF the great
Industrial combinations which have be-
come so marked a factor in our civillza-
tlon." said Mr.. Roosevelt, but to deal
with them lin a spirit Of envy and
hatred and malice would be to invite
dlsaster-a disaster which would be so
widespread that this country would rock
to its foundations" This is the rational
view, the position of sound statesman
ship, with which there is no doubt the
most intelligent and conservative opin-
ion of the country Is in accord.
