Maine Farmer; If you want to make
the grass start thick and strong on the
dooryard and the lawn apply a mixture of
nitrate of soda and wood ashes as soon as
the snow and ice have all disappeared.
There will be no odor from it, and the
first rain that falls will wash it down out
of sight and into the surface soil.

ROOT TUBERCUES.
Differences In the Calls Upon Pes

md Wax Bean Roots.
The whole subject of root tubercles is
a comparatively new one, and there is
much to be found out about it, 1t. how
ever seems settled that close relation
ship exists between the taking up of
the free nitrogen by plants and the
presence of gals upon their roots. The
majority of plants do not have such
root tubercles as for example, the ce-
reals potatoes and the like. while clo-
yers and cloverlike plants are generally
gall bearing where the circumstances
are favora BILE for their formation. When
a soil is rich in combined nitrogen, the
tubercles are less liable to form than
when the soil is poor in such substances.
The host plant needs to be hungry
for nitrogen for the full development
of the tubercles These gals are pro-

Medical Combination Under a Cloud.


The Montpelier correspondent of the
Burlington Free Press told this story
Tuesday concerning the physicians who
were in Brattleboro recently:
"The Drs. Sweet and Lattener medical
combination of Boston, which has been of
late extensively advertised in a local pa
per to begin a healing campaign in this
city, has so far failed to materialize. Land
lord Sparrow of the Montpelier House,
with whom the combination had engaged
rooms for two weeks, had costly expert
ence two weeks ago with DIR. Lattener
The doctor arrived in this city on the
early train Sunday morning, Jan. Is, and
had lodging and breakfast for which he
paid, after which he engaged team and
driver to take him and his effects to Barre,
where he was advertised to meet patients
at the City Hotel for the week ending
Jan. 81. Upon arriving in Barre, the
medical gentleman informed the driver
that he had settled for the team before
leaving this city and the driver believed it
until he arrived at the home stable when
he found that such was not the case.
When he failed to appear here yesterday
as advertised, inquiries regarding him
were made in Barre and 1t was learned
that the doctor is missing. 1t was also
learned that he left financial mourners In
