WITCHES AND OATS While on our
trip last summer in Nova Scotia and
New Brunswick, several fields Of oats
and vetehes grown together for dairy
feed, attracted our attention. Both
plants were in strong growth and we
learned that they are considered supe-
rior in feeding value TO oats and peas.
The vetches do not fan down as easily
a. the pea, and this is valuable con
sideration. The vetch is considerably
grown in Canada and is rapidly coming
into favor among dairymen. But few
Of our American farmers know any
thing about the plantand we believe it
is time 10 commence obtaining some
practical knowledge Of so valuable a
forage plant. The vetch Is one Of the
legume family, species Of pea in APP
pearanee. and is rated very high as a
protein food. VIII not some Of our

by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infiamed condition of the

rumbling sound or imperfect hearing. and
when il is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can he

Victoria rules over more Moslem SUD
jec,s than does Abdul Hamid. When the
significance Of this statement Is weighed.
the necessity OF Great Britain's going
slow In matter vitally affecting the
caliphate will be readily appreciated.
Moreover. the delicacy OF the situation
as affecting India and British interests
In Egypt. becomes still clearer when we
remember that there have for some time
been threats OF the Moslcms declaring
a holy war. Another difficulty Great
Britain has had to contend with has been
how to deal with Russia The latter Is
in better position than any or the other
Powers to protect the Armenians, ana
bring the Sultan TO realization OF the
fact that the alliance for reform means
serious work. IL would be an easy mat
ter any day for Russia to throw an army
into Armenia, which, in cooperation
with her Black-Sea feet. would make
short work Of pacifying the entire ter
ritory in Asia that Is now In state of
disturbance. But, invasion Of Armenia
would prove possession. "a was the
case in the Invasion Of Bosnia and Her
zegovina by Austrian troops, and Russia
would thus secure another strategic adj
vantage as regards Great Britain's In
dian domain.
We repeat. however. that matters have
reached a point at which It hardly seems
possible that Great Britain can longer
avoid taking decisive and summary steps.
The pressure upon her TO act is becom-
ing too vigorous 10 be longer resisted,
and the consolation is that when she

or at the north end Of Eleventh street,

This arrangement will also be beneficial
i'm speedily clearing our streets OF paper
litter that now oftentimes lies or Mes

a cleaner city than ii is now. We feel
sure that Chairman Reeve and his asso-
clates of the Heath Committee will re-
celve the thanks Of all intelligent citi-
zens for the action that they have taken
10 abate this nuisance.
We wish that the committee had the
money with which TO buy additional
street-sweeping machines with which to
sweep the business portions OF Main
and Broad streets every night. Ihese
great thoroughfares. which are daily
trodden by tens Of thousands Of citizens
and strangers, rarely present tidy APP
pearance. The dust and dirt that accu7
mulate upon them are not necessarily
unhealthy. but they give those streets
a disagreeable look. Richmond. as
municipality should set an example OF
cleanliness. 1t would make her citizens
more careful Of their own premises. and
less disposed to litter sidewalks and
alleys with trash which might easily be
disposed of otherwise.
The city and her people muet Work TO-
gether in the interest of clean streets
ana clean alleys. Richmond. with her
advantages Of natural drainage, might
