AGRICULTURAL
TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
ROOT CRors ARE EXHAUSTIVE.

1t has never been good practice to
crow two root crops in succession on
tho same land. 1t can only be done
by very heavy manuring to supply
the fertility that the preceding crop
has taken away. Gardeners who
grow roots generally manage to grow
them in alienation with crops that do
not draw so heavily on the land. The
onion crop can be grown on the same
land III succession, but the onion is
not properly a root.

Judge Sade said it had been reported
to him that pupils in the school were not
advanced AS rapidly AS they should be.
and he moved that the committee be re-
ques ted to investigate aud see that the
trouble was remedied, if it existed. Mr..
Wilds said no complaint of the sort had
been made to the committee, and he
thought there could be no ground for the
report. Prof. BOyce suggested that the
fact that Il pupil or his parents said he
was prepared to advance in grade was
hardly conclusive evidence that such
was the case. Mr.. Boyce spoke of the
need of teachers training class in the
school. Judge SHADES motion was then
adopted and the meeting adjourned.

WHAT THEY WOULD GET.
William Pitt Murray on POIicemen,s
Salary Claims.

In the event Of the policemen suing
the city for their salaries for the month
OF January, the opinion Of the corpora
ton attorney is that they would be
awarded judgments on the basis of the
salaries hitherto paid them by the CITY,
lnasmuch as the common council has
not thus far fixed their salaries for the
year 1896 as required by the charter.
Aid Ehrmanntraut, who looks up
little law for himself now and then, dis
SentS from this opinion:
Il think" says Joseph, that the Jury
would be instructed to allow a police
man who might sue the city for his
unpaid salary only the actual value of
the services rendered by him. What
he received during the preceding year
wouldn't, In my opinion, cut any fig
ure, for his salary for this year has
not been fixed, and for that matter the
council did not fix the salaries of the
police last year.
What the actual value of a police
mans services for one month would
amount to Aid. Ehrmanntraut did not
say.
William Pitt Murray, whose exper-
lence in the office of corporation at
torney especially qualities him to ex-
press an opinion upon such questions
said yesterday, when asked for his
view of the matter:
while it is true that the council has
not fixed the salaries of the police for
the present year, should the question
come into court, the value of a police
mans services would undoubtedly be
estimated on the basis of the salary
hitherto paid by the city"
