To illustrate that the office of Gov
ernor of New York is held by rather
frail tenure, the New York Sun recalls
that, though there have been twenty
two elections for Governor in New York
State within the past forty-fve years,
four Governors only have been chosen
for two terms in succession. Marcy was
elected three times. Seward was first
elected in 1888 and again in 1910. Sey-
naour was first elected in 1852, was
beaten in 1854, and was successful in
1862. In almost every case, those Gov
errors who were not reelected, either
ran for second term and were de-
feated, or failed in their efforts to get q
second nomination in their party con-
ventions.

think it is profitable to study such
figures as these, for they show where
the profit comes in in grain-growing.
There is fixed cost in growing an acre
of grain, whether the yield is light or
heavy, and every bushel we can add to
the yield per acre reduces the cost per
bushel. Still another point I wish to
call attention to is this: the farm always
improves under such management as
gives large yield per acre, and deteri-
crates under small yields. If cultivate
twenty acres to produce five hundred
bushels of corn or two hundred of wheat,
l am certainly not improving the quality
of the land, but if l grow this amount
on ten acres it only shows much
better condition of soil on the land I'M
der cultivation, but on the other ten I
can grow a renovating crop, like clover,
which will give me a profit and at the
same time fit the land for heavier
grain crop. Under the first conditions
there can be neither profit nor improve
ment; under the second, both. l have
little doubt that in many of our grain
growing sections the decreasing of the
area under cultivation by one-half would
in few years give as much grain at a
largely reduced cost per bushel.-W. p.
Broom, in Rural NeW Yorker.

Maltese cat. That cat walked back to
Norwalk, $50 miles. A Norwalk re-
porter interviewed the cat, and found

The divorce statistics of Maine for

The divorce statistics of Maine for
the past five years give an unpleasant
picture of home-life in that State. There
have been about twenty-four hundred
divorces decreed during the period in
question, and thus nearly five thousand
persons have been released from the
bonds which were assumed with at least
nominal solemnity. The ratio is prob
ably one divorce to ten marriages in
Maine. The ratio in Massachusetts in
1879 was one to twenty-one.

Vigorous exercise renders Turkish ana hot
