A question of medical ethics is raised
in The Woman's Medical Journal Of
Cleveland by DR.. Anita Newcomb Nc
Gee. 1t is we'll established principle
i'm the American Medical association
that "all practitioners Of medicine, their
wives and their children, while under
the patclnal care, are entitled to the
gratuitous services Of any one or more
of the faculty residing near them whose
assistance may be desired" The qucs-
zion is whether women physicians bene-
hit by the rule or whether it is ignored
when the relative of a woman physician
requires treatment by medical man.
Instances have come to Dr. McGee 5
knowledge in Washington where bills
|were SEM to women physicians and
bald, and she is of the opinion that "if
This is common experience it may be
considered wise to maintain the princi-
pie Of sexual equality in the profession
by asking medical associations for an
Interpretation of this rule. "

Upon farming land that is cultivated
by crop rotation clover should be sown
if it is practicable to do so. For enrich
ing the soil red clover is no doubt one
of the best leguminous plants, as it
grows rank and sends its roots down
deep into the soil. However, where a
permanent pasture or meadow is desired,
should be sown with clover at
the rate of four quarts of timothy to
five or six quarts of clover. The first
year the clover will be prominent, the
next year less clover, and the third sea-
son wholly timothy For the benefit
to the soil the next season after seeding
wholly with clover, if Of the medium
red variety, it should be cut in June or
I arly in July for hay and later for seed.
This double cropping sends the roots
Jeeper in the soil, which is just what
is wanted and is found to be more
beneficial than simply close pasturing
Alsike does well, makes good hay, but
does not enrich the soil like red clover.
Alfalfa will be the best for dry climates,

Growing Vegetables by electricity.

At the Massachusetts hatch station
seeds of parsnips, lettuce, carrots, tur-
nips, beets, satisfy, radishes and onions
We're planted ON a bed of rich, moist
soil with noninsulated copper wires two
inches below the surface connected with
a dynamo and on a similar bed not
subject to the electric influence. The
current was applied about four hours
daily. On the electric bed parsnips,
satisfy and radishes mede larger yield
of tops and roots than on the bed used
as check. Carrots made a heavier
yield of roots on the electric bed With
lettuce and purple top turnips the re-
suit was apparently in favor of electric
ity. Sweet German turnips and Egyptian
turnip beets gave a smaller yield Of tops
and roots ON the electric bed. Peas on
the electric bed came up three days be
fore those ON the check bed. Electricity
fastened the Gpening of tomatoes.
