PROVIDENCE, r. l., April 24.-There
is reason to fear that Colin c. McPher-
son, of Brooklyn, New York, perished
in the disaster at Richmond Switch. He
was expected to attend the conference of
the Latter Day Saints, and left home,
but did not arrive here. The bridge
where the accident occurred was built in
1884 or 1885. The roadwork of the bridge
was renewed three or four years ago.

most extraordinary concession ever granted to q

much, for the concession can be and

1t was given, and the SHY business has been 30

Old Pastures, or New.

There are two opinions about pastures
one i that it is more profitable to feed
only newly seeded land, u~in9 it not more
than two years before plou4hing il np for
a reSeetiln@; ana the other to let it remain
Tor many years, allowing the surface to
become fully occupied by the native grasses,
these being supposed to be best adapted to
develop its power of production

the general practice of farming communi-
ties In this country, we cannot hesitate to
decide that the greatest profit will follow
the tirSt-named method, for there il no

Will be much more than enough to repay the

III is not now a question whether the
cows will do better on one kind of pasture
than on the other, only which will pro-
duce the largest money profit. If a single
cow were allowed to roam over ten acres
of short old pasture, picking up her whole
living in white clover and the tender
sprouts of blue grass, there is no DENYING
that she would give more milk, more butter
and more cheese than she would if feeding
however abundantly, on the coarser grasses
of an artificial pasture. But our purpose
IN farming is not to get the largest possible
yield from our cows, but to get the largest
possible yield from our land. The cows
are only implements for converting the pro-
ducts of the field into the saleable products
OF the dairy.

$54, but she will be fully supported bv the
produce of single acre. Supposing that
third of the produce is consumed bv
