From its adaptability to so many soils,
it's value as a conserver of fertility, it's
permanence when once established, its
heavy yields and its richness as a fodder
the New York station is confident that
alfalfa is we'll worth trial where the
climate is not too severe.
At the New Jersey station the expert
ments last year with both Irish and
sweet potatoes suggest combination of
sulphur and kainit, about 800 pounds of
each placed in the open row, as a SUBJ
stantial remedy for both the scab and
soil rot.
There is no part of the country better
suited to growing crimson clover than
the peninsula embracing Delaware and
the eastern shore of Maryland.

The Elements,

The freshet in March assumed danger
Gus proportions, after a rainfall of nearly
two inches in two days. The water was
within two feet of the highest point ever
recorded-in 1S62-thousands of acres of
meadow lands in the Connecticut valley
were inundated, and the Brattleboro bridge
was in great danger. During the freshet
j. c. Kiniry fell through the railroad
bridge at Bellows Falls and was drowned.
On the Brattleboro & Whitehall railroad
there were several washouts, the roadbed
was covered with ice for many rods and
impossible for several days. A. F. Will

THE NEWS IN BRIEF
Street Car Men Strike.

The West End Company's Lines In Bos-
ton Tied up over Christmas by the Ac-
ton OF its Employees.
Over 5000 men-drivers, conductors and
motormen-employed by the West End
street railway company of Boston, struck
last Thursday morning because of the fall
ure of President Little of the company TO
sign an agreement whereby they should not
be obliged to work over 10 hours day.
They had been working IL and II hours a
day. A delegation from the conductors
and motormens' union held a conference
with a committee of the West End drec-
tors Wednesday evening at which Presi-
dent Little stated that the sole power TO
ratify such an agreement as had been sub
mitted to the company was vested in the
executive committee of the board of direc-
tors; that a majority of said committee was
not in the state, nor had there been ma
jority in the state since the matter came up,
consequently the signing of the agreement
at that time was an utter impossiblity. He
asked for weeks time in which TO obtain
an expression Of the executive committee s
opinion.
The union officials were convinced of the
truth of President Little's statement, and
consented 10 hold their strike order in aoey'
| ance for one week, pending a decisive an.
swer TO their demands from the executive
committee of the West End directors.
The men declared that the company only
! desired delay in order to bring men from
Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont tC
take their places, and went out, division
at time, until the supreme council was
obliged to order a general strike, as they
had agreed TO act as unit. Coming just
at Christmas the strike was great incon-
venience to thousands of residents of the
outlying districts, and the steam cars were
crowded to an extent which became abso.
lutely dangerous. The strikers began to
weaken before night and most of them re.
turned to work Friday morning, the strike
having been declared off by the supreme
council of the union. They were obliged
however, to take their places in turn and
below whatever new men had been put on
