HORSE RICES AT AGRICL'LTLEIL FURS.
Papers) Read by Prominent Granger.
Addresses by Prof. David Wilsen and
Miss Itelle M. MeSparran.
The fourth annual meeting of 'the
farmers' Institute of Lancaster county wu
opened en Wednesday at 2 o'clock In the
court house. The meeting was called te
order by Mr Calvin Cooper, member of
the State Beard of Agriculture, after which
Mr. James Weeds, of Little Britain town
ship, was elected president, and Mr. John John Jehn
eon Miller, of LitltK, secretary.
After the organization had been ejected
Mr. Cooper delivered an address of wel
come in which he stated that the Idea or a
farmers' Institute had been conceived in
1884 In this county and they have since
spread all ever the state. Lancaster county
can claim te be the pioneer of such assem
blies. They have been productive of some
geed among farmers everywhere. By as
soclatlen and dissemination of the best
ideas in farming all have been benefitted.
The object of such Institutes is te discuss
the host methods of fertilization tmd culti
vation of cereals, fruits and vegetables.
Up te date-47 farmers' institutes have been
organized in this state. When It is possi
ble te raise 733 busholsef potatoes te an
acre why should farmers be satisfied with
76 bushelslT Lancaster county Iias pro
duced 121 bushels of corn te an acre, but
whether it will receive the coveted prize
thorefor the speaker had net been in
formed. Bidding' all welcome he said in
conclusion It would be the aim of all
present te co-operate with one another and
thus lighten the endcavoreef all te devise
means te garner the largest crops from the
least acroage possible.
EXPERIMENTS IN PAtlMINO.
II. G. Kush, of West Willow, read an
able paper en the subject of experiments
in farming.
The mottoes of most agricultural papers
would lead one te jnfer that farming af af af
fordsthe highest degree of happiness. In
theory agriculture deserves te be called the
foundation of civilization. The fruits or
experiment are found only in making a
comparison between the savage and civil
ized life. Experimental farming should
be. Indulged in cautiously. The speaker
thought it geed te try te raise as much
from an acre us possible. Necessity is the
mother of Invention, and new Ideas have
sprung up in agriculture, opening a Meld
of great possibilities. He thought that
the experiment of farm representation
in our legislative halls would be
beneficial te the fanning people.
The pajcr being open for discussion
Prof. David Wilsen, of 1'ert Royal, Juniata
county, slated that there is no calling mero
honerublo than that of the farmer. He
thought that farmers had a great field before
them in the matter of experimental firm
ing.
Mr. J. C. Linville said that In trying
experiments the farmer sometimes get out
of the ruts and became engulfed in' the
mire. He thought it best te leave experi
mental farming te the state experimental
stations.
Prof. S. 11. Ilclges, of Cumberland
county, thought that labor en the farm bad
been exchanged for comfort. In days past
horses were used te tread the grain out en
the barn fleer during the winter months
and new it was done by a threshing ma
chine. The farmer used te cut his own
weed, new it is done by machinery, as in
fact all things are new done. The farmer
te-day considers his ease and comfort ire.-e
and leaves te ethers much of the farm
labor and the latter carry away the profits
in their pockets.
Rev. Dr. C. W. Stewart, of Celeraln town
ship, said that he had threshed grain when
u boy by use of the flail. The farmer of
te-day, in his estimatlep, had gained con
siderable by improved methods of iurmlng
and-the use of machinery. Creps are flve
times as large as they were fifty years age
-and all is due te new and improved methods
of farming.
Mr. Jehnsen Miller thought that the far far
mer should have some representation in
lepislatlve halls.
Mr. Chandler said that far mers should be
satisfied with the present situation, and
make all the use possible of improved
methods.
Mr. Linville did net soe why we should
go back te the days of " Auld Lnng Syne"
and be content with nil labor and no eaie
and comfort.
Mr. James Cellins had experimented
considerably in his methods of pleughing,
and the mixing of new and improved
varieties of seeds with the old seeds.
The farmer should experiment some and
he will seen find out the best and most
practicable methods suited te his soil, ma
chinery, etc. He thought that a great deal
of waste en tlte farm came through the far
mer's son hitching two horses te his buggy
when going te see his "best giri" when
one horse would de as well. As te farmer
representation in Legislature Mr. Cellins
said that If they sent him te Congress or
Legislature he would quit farming.
SCIENCE ON TUB FARM.
Dr. L O. Lyte, principal of the Millors Millers
vllle State Nermal school, followed with
an able address en "Sclcncoenthe Farm."
The doctor stated that vegetable life is
combustible, and When you,burn a plant
certain chemicals are lest in the air, and in
the residue or ashyeii find ether chemicals,
as soda, potash, phosphoric acid, lime, car
bon, etc. When you examine the ash of a
plant and find out what it is composed of
you then knew what nature of feed te sup
ply te the soil in which the plant grows
jn order that it will nourish the best. Soils
ljeuld be carefully oxnmlned and their
composition studied, and farmers would
then knew which ene is best suited ler
certain crops.' When you knew the nature
of thejell and the Ingredients taken there there
feom in plant growth, you knew just what
kind of a fertilizers te use in order te up
ply the waste of the soil. Water supply
and drainage should be studied by the
farmer. A scientific farmer need net nec
essarily be a " book-farmer." All science
is the outgrowth of experiments. Educa
tion en the farm is a great advantage. If
a farmer knows the nature of an animal or
the mechanism of a machine, he will ap
preciate them the mere. The address was
discussed by a number of gentlemen pres
ent, among whom were Dr. J. P. Wicker
ham, E. H. Hoever, W. H. Brosius and
Prof. David Wilsen.
PHASE OF COUNTRY III'E.
Miss Bolle M. McSparran, of Dm mere
township, followed In an excellent address
pn "Phases of Country Life."
gue said that there was a dark and a
bright side te all farm life, and the farmer
who gees along in life in a slip-shed man
ner leek en t'.ie dark side. Yeun girls
raised en the farm are beginning te leave
the old home and find situations in the
factory, fctore or kitchen in the cities be

Country debatlng societies, singing schools
and all such moansjmeuld be employed te
keep the girl en the farm nnd make her
life mere cheerful. If the Fates ordain a
Jlfe ou the farm, let the best be made of it,
and act out the calling with dignity. Moke
life mero cheerful and mero worth the liv
ing for, and farm life will net be one of
drudgerv. The country graded schools
should be equal te lhos.e of the city, se
that the yeuug peotile may be sent Inte
the world en a firm foundation of learnlng
add experience well fitted for life's duties.
The question may be asked, why Is a
country lxy or girl recognized as such the

marks by the following apt nnd beautiful
quotation irem jougiciiew ;

And the mere noble lnUIuct that ui.pln.-s.
A vote of thanks for her line address,
was extended.
The regular essays and addresses having
been exhausted the nest subject taken up
'was that of discussions en set subjects.
The first ene for consideration was; " Why
is feeding cattle less profitable in Lancaster
euntv than formerly T Mr. Jacob Frantx.
ught that the fault lay In the numerous
'le syndicates and dress! beef trutts.
Ill
Ten or twelve years age cattle raising was
geed in Lancaster county, but since to
bacco farming has been Indulged In se ex
tensively it has deteriorated.
The depreciation In the value of farm
land was discussed and Mr. Cellins attri
buted It te the Tate of Interest being tee
high. Farm products have decreased In
value and with them the land accordingly.
The government and our own county can
borrow money at 6 per cent, and even
mere.and then give gilt-edged security te
back up their borrowings.
The Strain 8len.
The evening session of the fanners' In
stitute began at 7:30 o'clock, in the court
house. There was quite a geed sited au
dience ln-.ttendance. During the evening
the Nermal Scheel Glee club, com
posed of young Iadlea and gentlemen,
rendered a number of selections, principal
of which were "Sigh Ne Mere" and
"Annie Laurie."
Prof. David Wilsen, of Pert Royal,
Juniata county, Pa., delivered an address
en the " Elements of success in farming."
The speaker said that all ever the country
there appeared te be a depression In farm
ing. Wheat Is the principal cereal raised
In this country. The beat of machinery Is
engaged in converting this grain into flour
and the railroads and ships are called into
use te transport thla flour Inte all
countries In the world. With all this
there are numerous competitors with which
our country has te contend. Overproduc
tion is also an element in the depression.
The calling of the farmer has been honor
able aince the time that Adam went forth
te till the soil. The irreat men of the world
have gained the elements of thoirgreatness
en the farm. A great many farmers owed
their lack of success te carelessness In their
metheds of work en a farm. A farmer
should take geed care of his animals, im
plements, etc., use geed seed and keep
down the exnenses In order te succeed and
add wealth te his stock of werdly goods.
The weeds should be carefully kept down,
thorough tillage maintained and the best
of fertilizers used. Farmers are net as
frugal te-day as formerly and all farmers
should endeavor te be economical. Unity
of action Is another element of success as
well en the farm as elsewhere.
The address elicited some discussion as
te the elements necessary for success.
Seme of tbe'dlsputants took the view that
the production of our crops is accom
plished at tee much expense, and tee
many acres are In cultivation. One aero
should be made te produce as much as
two. Farmers should cooperate mero for
their general geed.
William II. Brosius, of Liberty Square,
delivered an addresssen "Winter even
ings en the farm." The question Is an Im
portant ene and all farmers should endeavor
te make these evenings ones long te be re
membered by the boys and girls en the
farm. The education of the heart and
brain is of paramount-Importance te all,
and farmers should devote the winter
evenings te such studies. Make home
mero attractive and by that means step
your boy from attending the country Btere
with all its idle and gossipy frequenters.
If a boy is net adapted for the farm he
should net be kept en the farm. Don't be
afraid of spoiling your sons and daughters
by supplying them with geed literature
which can be obtained at small oxpenso in
the many geed magazines of the day.
Dr. J. P. Wlckersham. gave a vivid de
scription of the manner in which his win
ter evenings had been passed fifty years
age in Chester county. He stated that at
the end of a winter day, after sun nor, and
when the dishes were all cleaned and put
away, two newspapers SfeilCs Saturday
Gazette and the Village Recerd were
brought out and the whole family were
seated around the table. The father of the
family then proceeded te select steries and
selections from these'papers. This was
done en Tuesday and Friday evenings,
and en ether week day evenings a United
States history or sonie geed story book
was read. Checkers were indulged in,
The farm hands Joined in, and these even
ings pased ou the farm when a lad are to
day amongst the happlest recollections of
his life.
Considerable discussion was indulged in
en the address, and the general Impres
sion seemed te be that the long winter ovo evo ove
nings en the farm should be set apart te
literary pursuits, and that debating socie
ties and literary or musical entertainments
should be encouraged in all farming com
munities. Thursday Morning.
This morning s session was opened at
6:30 o'clock.
Jehn C. Linvllle, of Clan, dellvered an
address en "Comity Fairs." '.Fairs have a
potent influence for evil as well as geed.
Our county fair managers seem te think
that no fair can be run en a sound financial
basis without the usual horse races, fakirs
and sidoshewF.There features and also such
as baby shows, balloon ascensions, immod
est marrlage exhibitions before assembled
crowds should net be allowed. Let the
managers of fairs turn ever a new leaf and
run their fairs for the benefit of showing
off agricultural products and Industries,
and inake an earnest endeavor te run such
fairs en their own merits.
The gentleman's address being open for
discussion, Prof. David Wilsen, member of
the Slate Beard of Agriculture, thought that
fairs could net be run without horse races.
Henry M. Engle thought there should be
a geed exhibition of horses, and there
might be an exhibition of trials of speed
without their objectionable features.
William II. Bransen, of West Chester,
member of the State Beard of Agriculture,
thought that everything gormane te an
agricultural fair should be brought together
and displayed. Farm implements and
machinery should be also displayed se that
the farmer can make a comparison between
them as te their relative merits. He
thought liorse racing was proper at county
fairs.
D. B. McWllliams, of Juniata county,
took the view that the herse must be well
shown off at the fair. Anethor feature
must be the giving of premiums te incite
competition and rivalry among farmers as
te who can raise the best crops. In order
te draw a crowd and make the fair a
financial success you must Introduce at
tractive fpatures,
S. L. Hartii.au, city, thought the dis
criminating line should be drawn at all
features which have a demoralizing Influ
ence, and counteract en the geed which
lias bean instilled at home in the minds of
the boys and girls.
Prof. 8. B. Heiges, of Cumberland
county, thought that the horse racing fea fea
ture should be left out. Men come te Uie
fair ground and take out of it a considera
ble sum of money in racing premiums,
whilst they de net bring one cent of geed
into the county or te tbe farmer. Instead
of spending money en the keeping of the
raee track in geed order spend the money
en your reads and keep them in geed
order Races are popular but that Is no
evidence that they are right. The speaker
did net like te see such Items as he had re
cently read of an agricultural fair, of
which tbe following is a fair sample :
" Our county fair Is a grand success ; best
time made 2:20."
W. H. Bransen thought that instead of
se much horse being exhibited, let usgive
mero premiums for geed horned cattle,
sheep and hogs.
F..S.Hoever,of Mauhelin townshlp.read an
exhaustive essay en the horse, its breeding,
rearing and treatment. The essay was an
excellent one and was listened te with a
great deal of interest. Mr. Hoever de
scribed the different breeds of horses In
detail, and also gave the tarmers ad lee for
the raising or colts.
Ilenry M
K ui vJt,n.
M, L'ngle. Marietta, read an essay
er, as a Fertlllzer." The speaker
en " Clever,
took the view that clever Is an excellent
fertilizer, wlien plowed down, and that it is
as cheap te use it in that manner as te feed
Ittocattle, sin co cattle feeding no lontrer
pays. Kvery farmer must Judge for him
self as te which is best suited te his own
case, whether te plow the clever under or
te feed it. Best results are obtained by
leaving the growing clevor te stand until
the seed is nearly rlpe, and then te plow It
under. The roots of clever penetrate far
down into the sub-soil and draw up the
feed found there. Clese jiahturingand per
mitting weeds te grew .up w 1th the crop
are baneful.
Mr. Casper Illller took Isstie with the
essayist, and thought clever is worth mero
us a feed than as a fertilizer. We have
need for all the pasture en the farm. A
crop of clevor is worth from J10 te J20, aud
we can hardly afford te plow this under.
He thought it best te sell the clever hay
and buy artificial fertilizer that would be
IjANCASTER, PA., THURSDAY,
mero beneficial than the cl6ver.
D. B. MeWilllams desired te knew if
burning the clever and using the ash la
beneficial, and In reply Prof. Wilten
thought that the ash would be mere bene
ficial than te plow under.
Quite a number of gentlemen took part
In the discussion, giving their experlence
In taeniae of clOTer as a fertilizer.
Prof. 8. B. Heiges, of Cumberland
county, followed In an address en
"Potatoes and potato culture."
The speaker stated that the potato belongs
te the large family known aa the eolanaere,
and la called aelannm tuberesum, Other
varieties of the family aelanacm beneficial
te man are tne tomato, egg piani ana pepper.
Baneful varieties are the night shade, bitter
sweet, Jerusalem cherry, her
apple of Sodom, apple of Peru,
and thorn apple. The tobacco ar

Iscases of the potato tuber are the scab
(tuberclnla scabies), dry ret (fuslsperlum
aelanlland the wet ret. A disease of the
plant Is curl leaf (betrytls lnfestans).
The Insect enemies of the potato plant
are the Colerado potato boetle (doryphera
declm-llneata), and the potato fly. The
potato disease was first noticed In Ger
. . . . .. ..
many in lBiz, uanaua in RH4, England in
1845, and Ireland In 1846. The potato Is a
native of America and was Introduced Inte
Europe by Sir Walter -Raleigh. About
76 per cent, of the potato tuber Is water
and 2.") per cent, solid feed. Scab In pota
toes Is net caused by any particular kind
of fertilizer or manure, but is a fungoid
growth and generated from a spore. There
appears te be an Intimate relation be
tween the ret and curl leaf. Every
species ei me lamuy seianneai can ue in
fested or Inoculated by the betrytls lufos lufes
tans token from the leaf of the potato
stalk. Tbose botanical families, cloiely
allied te the selanacra, cannot be in
fested, however. In order te destroy
the fuugeids of the curl leaf,
Prof. Ileiges had successfully used a
mixture of 1 lb. sulphate of copper, 6 lbs.
slaked ltme. and 1 barrel of water, which
he applied by sprinkling. As an insecti
cide he had added 1 lb. Paris green te this
mixture.
New varieties of potatoes are prepagated
from the small tubers which grew in what
Is termed the seed-ball or pod. The
speaker described in detail the process of
cress fertilization of potato plants in order
te produce new varieties. Careful cultiva
tion, high manuring and cleanliness gave
him at the rate of 381 bushels and 12 pounds
of potatoes per acre. His method or plant
ing was te remove all eyes but one iu a
tuber and plant the tuber entirely. He
gave his plants a dally sprinkling in tbe
ovenlug of liquid manure.

The Shew Ilusliiews Is 1'oer.
The business of the opera house has been
frightfully bad of late. There is no doubt
that It is largely owing te sickness, whlle
peer attractions have lent their aid. It
does net seem te matter much, however,
whether geed or bad shows are played, the
people will net turn out te see them. The
present managers of the house have been
playing te losing business all season.
There were very few persons in the opera
house last evening te see the second repre
sentation of "The Judge" by Odell Wil
liams and a company of seven people. The
traveling companies are all complaining of
peer business.

JANUARY 9. 1890.
laorsesntaFlro,
Fire was discovered in the Centrnl Tark
Riding academy, New Yerk, en Wednes
day afternoon. When the firemen reached
the burning building flames were sheeting
from the windows of the hay-left, en the
third fleer, and smeke was rolling off the
reef in dense black clouds, Down the
steep runways, carrying flromen. hose and
everything before them, suddenly rushed
along line of frightened horses who had
been out loose from their stalls en the
second and third floors by the grooms and
attendants.
The thoroughly frlghtoned herses
crowded Inte the riding ring, carrying be
fore them two young ladies who were rid
ing In the ring. Their own horses became
almost unmanageable, aud the ladles were
compelled te leap from their saddles and
run for the deer. They reached It in safety,
but could net secure their horses, who
Joined the galloping host iu the ring.
Seme of the riderless steeds were wrapped
In gayly colored blankets, and ethers had
tern their coverings off and wero dragging
them around under their feet. As they gal
loped, prancing, kicking and snorting
around the ring with their gaudy trappings,
the scene prosented was net unlike that of
some monster circus. Frem the window
en the south slde, smoke poured into the
large hall, and the men who wero trying te
control the prancing horses took this as an
Indication of the spread of the tire.
The large doers leading te Seventh ave
nue were tbrewu epen aud the cavalcade
rushed out upon the stroet.
The horses wero all bloedod stock used
for riding and driving by wealUiy New
Yorkers. The flre was trilling.
Cause of the Abnormal Wenther.
Frem the New Yerk Herald.
The universal lnterest felt in the went her
is especially intense new because of Its re
latien te the urevalllmr nn dnmln. Our
oable dispatches show that Western Eurepe
has been lately, like our seaboard, under a
warm wave of vapor laden air.
The lmmodlate cause of vernal wealher
both In America and Wostern -Eurepe
eems te be the peculiar position of the high
atmospheric pressure en the Atlantic. This
vast high pressure wove, stretclilng from
the English Channel southwest te the
American past, has bcen pouring Its stores
of warm etjean vapor upon both continents.
It has also forced a very large mnjeilty
of all our winter storms, when moving
east from the Mississippi valley, te take a
sharp turn te the nertheast, thus drawing
In upon the continent the warm vapors of
the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic ocean.
Our Londen cable dispatch yosterday stated
that f'the storms which have recently
cpme In from the Atlantle toward the
European coasts have generally moved
north of Scetlnnd," which llkowlse ex-
Elalns the present warm, wet weather in
In gland.
The primal cause of the phenomenon Is
most probably a " running down en solar
energy," which Leckyer and ether astrono
mers think characterizes a period, like the
present, when the sun Is quiet. Had the
sun's neat exerted last month ou the tropi
cal ocean been up te the full measure, the
barometer there would have fallen, the
trade winds would have freshened and the
permnnent wavoef high atmosplierio pras
sure iu the North Atlantle must have gravi
tated toward the equator thus allowing
our storm centres from the southwest te
travel en a line crossing Cape Hattores mid
running thence toward the Bay of Biscay.
In this case, cold currents would have been
drawn down upon the United States and
Western Eurepe.
The Herald's ocean wenther reports Indi
cate that seme change in this direction will
shortly occur. Incoming tropical stoamers
report " very strong trades."

THE WU3PECT8 ARRESTED.
Miss Pureell Chnraed With Murder nnd
Dr. Knlftln With Being Accosserv.
Emma Pnrcell aud Dr. Knlflln were
arrested In Trenten en Wednesday. She Is
n.!611 .w ! ' 'J10, n,urdr of Mri Knllllu
and he with being an accomplice. Miss
Purcell was the last wltness called bv
the corenor at the Inquest. She came up
the grand Jury room stairs with her sister
and brother.
She was altlred In a black silk dress,
black Jersey coat and black walking hal
and veil. She had an air or self-possession,
but was a trifle nervous. She took the oath
and had get seated In the witness chair
when Cerenor Bewer asked; "What is
your full nauie, Miss PurcellT"
The answer did net come, and Instead
Lawyer Chauuccy II. Beaaley rose and
said; "I Instruct the witness net te an an
?wer.V,n? l .l"'.hlt ",0 'w upholds me in
it. While she has net been arrested, yet,
evorsince the horrlble murder was com
mitted she has been under surveillance.
She has had an efllccr with her every every
whero she turned, aud she was net allowed
te leave the houae when her friends do de do
slred te take her olsewhoro. She has been
a prlsoner of the county te all Intents nnd
puriwses, and I lustruct her net te an
swer," Mr. Beasley presented aflldavlts te sub
stantiate his claim. Prosecutor Stockton
directed Cerenor Bewer te put the ques
tion again, se that a formal refusal could
? "worded. IIe did se. and Mr. Barten
dictated her answer, which she repented.
"By Instruction of couusel I refuse te an
swer." She neemed glad the ordeal was
evor and ran te Utearmsef hersister. This
was me urst leek tue public had of her face
since the tragedy, as her veil was romevod
at the request of u Juryman. Everybody's
eyes followed the two women as they de
scended the stairs, thinking, no doubt, that
they were going back te thelr home, but
whenthev reached thnlmttmu mmri ..
In store for them. Instead of taking her out
of the deer Detective Lcaliey conducted her
te the grand Jury room bofero the pollce
Justlce, wliore a warrant prepared Tuesday
night charging her with murder was
awaiting answer by her. She was left in
the room With an officer, when Detectlve
Loahey went out and seen returued with
Dr. Knlllln, who looked pale, but com
posed. He walked through the crowd
about the deer with his hand behind his
back, which gave him a most tranquil ap ap ap
poarance. There are two long fables In the grand
Jury room. At the end of oue of these sat
David Purcell, Miss Purcell, Mrs. Palmer
and Dr. Pal mer. When Dr. Knlflln ar
rived the complaint was produced, which
Lawyer Barten cenind. Dnvlil lnrwii
walked about, talking first te the group
around Miss Purcell and thou te the ene
around Dr. Knlllln. Finally the police
Jtisllce read the complaint. It was as fol fel
lows :

persons maliciously and feloniously killed,
and that he hath Just and reasonable cause
te suspect and doth suspect that Emma

ously kill the said Myra S. Knlflln or wero
accessories thereto, against the laws of the

cording te law.

The decument was also signed by the
pollce Justlce. When the sontence "that
Emma Purcell and Arthur S. Kniffln did
feloniously kill" was read, tbe oyea of
Mrs. Palmer filled witli tears and the took
the hand of Miss Purcell consolingly. Miss
Purcell did net even change color and bore
horself with composure. Dr. Knlflln was
disposed te weep, but he commanded him
self. Whlle there was an interval of wait
ing for Mr. Bcasley seme conversation oc
curred about a story printed In the !vcnitir
Hun te the effect that Dr. Knlflln bofero he
attempted sulcide had rnode it will In which
he had divided his property botweon Ills
son Lennie and Miss Purcell. Mr. Barten
said that only ene will was made, and that
was executed Monday morning ust after
midnight. There had been no codicil te
this and the name or Miss Purcell did net
occur in It, although thoreweroboquosts te
the amount of about $000.
When Mr. Beasley arrived the two
lawyers held a consultation and they finally
onterod a plea of "net guilty" as te both
and waived an examination. The crowd
that awaited In the witness room, through
which the prisoners had te pass te get te
the Jail, wero net driven out. Tlie com
mitment was formally made out and the
prisoners taken te the Jail. Thelr friends
wero iwrmittnd te accompany them. The
lawyers went iu search or Chief Justlce
Beasley te get a writ or habeas corpus.
The couusel wero unsuccessful In ob eb
