ROTATION OF CROPS.
To Plan . Good System L. Evidence oil
High Intelligence.

To Plan . Good System Is Evidence Oh
High Intelligence.
The theory on which q rotation OF
crops is advised by the most successful
agriculturists is based on the fact that
the demands made upon the soil fof
plant food by vegetation, while nearly
alike in important particulars, are not
the same with all kinds in degree.
Thus some crops require one element
In abundance with comparatively little
of others. Manifestly, If crops are plant
ed In such rotation that a succeeding
one naturally requires but little OF
what a former one has drawn upon
largely, it will in most cases be better
than to permit the former to succeed
itself. In this way different crop
whose wants will be mainly supplied
by the elements that remain in greater
plenty, may be raised with but little or
no help from the one element most i'm.
portant for the crop preceding.
To successfully plan a good system
of rotation, which may be kept up with
the least soil exhaustion, is evidence OF
a high order of farming, and involves
more than ordinary knowledge of the
constituents of the soil and the wants
of crops. Again, some crops are almost
wholly exhausting, being CHI lefty car
ried off, while others, like the clovers,
derive much fertility from the atmos-
phere, which is aftcrward acquired by
the soil through the decay of their
roots and stubble. No for mula for ro-
tation can BIZ given that will be of gen.
eral application when so much depends
on the present condition of a soil, but
the idea OF rest and recuperatson
through a jadicious succession OF DIFF.
! ferent crops should never be lost sight
of by farmer who would be successful
inhis ca ling Rural World.

MOTHERS LIGHT.

A fisher boy went sailing out
The morn was fresh and fair:
He bounded DER the waters blue
Without thought Of care.
As sights along the shore grew dim,
\ One tiny speck Affair."
His mothers cottage on the clin
Was like guiding star.
The morn was fair, but ere the night
A storm came DER the sea,
And through the blind and chilling mist
He drifted helplessly.
The breakers rosrcd, the darkness fell
The boy was filled with fear
No light, no voice, no arm to save;
He felt that death was near.
Then like tiny r appears
Ear-ofI feeble light;
It's faint. but steady cheering beam
Has pierced the gloomy night.
'Tis mothers lightI' he criedwith JOY,
IN steer by mothers light;
twill guide me safely to the shore,
She's saved her boy tonight
Your boy sails out in life to-day,
There many storm TO meet.
And when the darkness settles down,
And wild waves round him beat
Have you the pow'r to guide him safe
Through sins bewild'ring night?
Can ne shout gladly through the storm:
III steer by mothers lightg"
o parents, hold your lamps aloft.
A word, smile, apraycr
That lights the mem'ry OF your child,
May save from many snare.
Then trim with never-failing faith
Your lamps OF truth and right.
So that your child through life, or death.

rbe New Method of Transplanting Not
Very Successful.
Sorue onion growers do not thin
,nions at all. The result is at harvest
time they have q large amount OF
,nions too large for sets aud not large
enough to be salable. Without sowing
the seed pretty thick we cannot get the
desirable full and even stand. This
gives us the less desirable feature OF .
large surplus of plants 1t Is no
child's play to cultivate and weed
onions and toswork over patch where
the plants in many places are
from six to twelve inches apart is labor
and money lost. 1t is much better to
sow the seed reasonably thick and thin
out the surplus plants. This is an I'M
portant point and should be properly
done.
Every plant that is not required to
make the crop is useless consumer OF
the plant food in the soil and is prac-
tically a weed. 1t is just as important
to remove the surplus plants at an
early period of growth as it is 70 re-
move weeds. Itrequires rich Sc a, well
manured, to profitably grow onions,
and 1t is not wise to attempt to grow
them on any other kind of ground. On
such soil the plants may stand SO that
when the onions are full grown they
will touch or almost touch each other.
The kind must be taken into consid-
Grafton, as some kinds grow twice as
large as others. The rows should be
about twelve inches apart l have
found that il makes but little differ
ence in regard to the size, whether they
are twelve or sixteen inches apart. In
the new method of transplanting we
do away with the task of thinning land
wedding to some extent) and also get
an even stand. However, the new
method may not be very profitable after
all, as it is not always attended with sue
cess. We have lost fully one-hah OF our
plants this year. In few days after
they came up they tumbled down fiat IN
the bed and died Others around here
have had the same trouble.-Cor. Ohio

Finally he said, in low voice: "Youf

The officer loosened his hold some

broke the officers hold and a moment
later turned with drawn revolver and
fred two shots. One whizzed by the
officers head, the other wounded the
old man in the side. He fired again be-

1IJames Jowett. who was serving five
years. sentence for manslaughter at the
State prison escaped from the insane de-
partment Of the State farm in which he
was confined, yesterday morning at
o'clock.
Al l o'clock Sunday morning the night
watch was relieved for few moments,
and during the period of time marking
their absence Jowett left his room and
crept into the bath room. There he re-
moved the sash of the window and
dropped into the yard. Under cover of
the darkness he succeeded in crossing the
open space aud reached the fence where
he soon found board that yielded to his
tremendous exertions and I'm n moment
he was free. His escape was almost i'm
mediately discovered and the prison Off
cials made "a vigorous search.
Jowett was convicted on Oct. @, 1883, OF
the murder of Arthur Craven. The
scene of the homicide was in Wanskuck.
Before the murder of Craven, Jowett

An Unknown Man Discovered in the
Woods at Rehoboth.
Arthur ii. Goff, son of George II. Goff,
I'd, of Rehoboth, while strolling In his
fathers woods yesterday morning, found
the body of an unknown man suspended
by a clothesline from a heavy limb OF a
tree. His legs were drawn up under him,
but the toes OF his boots just scraped the
ground. A three-button cutaway and q
derby hat were found on the ground near
his body.
Young Goff informed his father and
neighbors of his CHASTITY find. Medical
Examiner Charles s. Holden of Attleboro
was notified and about 1880 he arrived at
the farm and began investigating. Moth
ing was found on the dead mans body to
identify him, but it was clearly shown
that IL was n case of deliberate suicide.
Medical Examiner Holden placed the
remains in the hands Of Undertaken L.

will be kept for Identification as long ms
possible, and after the clothing will be
kept at the undertaker's place for the
same use In the future IL the body Is not

sickness in the State during May was
about the same as in the preceding

The reports indicate that in the area of

Typhoid fever was quite unusually
prevalent in East Greenwich, diphtneria
had rather long prevalence in the vicinity
of Carolina and East Providence, and
measles in Newport city. No disease was
reported as having reached epidemic pro-

In GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
There Will Probably be Another
Adjournment.
TO WAIT FOR HONEY AND OTHERS
A New Loan Proposed to Cover Defects
in tho Militia Loan Passed at the
january session-thc General Assem-
bly, Comes Together Tomorrow.

The General Assembly meets again TO-
morrow for short sitting. The main
questions to be discussed will be the New
port contests, the new ballot law. the new
militia law, and various matters Of less
Importance.
The Newport question will be post
poned for week to give Mr.. Honey and
his Democratic friends who are in Chi
cago fair chance to be heard.
Thus IL is probable that the General AS
sembly will again. either tomorrow or
Wednesday, adjourn over to Tuesday,
June %. when the Newport contest will
come up for discussion.
An act was passed at the January ses-
sion Of the General Assembly providing
for the reorganization of the militia.
which was found to contain one or two
clerical errors which changed the mean
ing of certain parts. 1t also failed to
cover certain points, and In consequence
a new act has been carefully prepared
which Adjt. Gen. Dyer thinks will be
adequate and cover the case Of every
officer.
