Arsenic poisoning from beer drinking
has recently created quite sensation
In England, and in seeking for the
cause the fact seems to have been cs-
tabllsbed that the poisoning occurred
only through beer that was brewed
solely from malt and hops. The Eng
lish Lancet suggests ns the source Of
the poison the use Of artificial manures
which contain arsenic IN easily soluble
form. 1t remarks that superpbosphate
OF lime, the basis Of artificial manure.
IL produced by the action Of common
oil Of vitriOl on ordinary bone ash; that
1t has been established that plants 10
which argcnical manure N applied take
rp arsenic In their tissues. and cab
bagcs and turnips gathered from fields
manured with superphOsphates have
given nninslakablc evidence Of the
presence Of arsenic. IT Is probable. re-
cording 10 this authority, that arsenic
nccurnuIatcS In soil which IN constantly
dressed with superphosphatc, 10 that
plants grown on such soil would absorb
arsenic and inturiously affect tho
health Of man and animals.

Maine farmers are supposed TO IN
derstand potash culture pretty thor
oughly. and from one Of them, through
The New England Homestead, comes
the following account Of latest methods
In this line. with special reference to
those used in the famous ArOostook re-
gion:
In preparing the ground for potato
cultivation 10 obtain the best results it
should be well plowed In the fail, and
If manure is to be used this should be
sprcad In the spring after the ground
IS sufficiently dry. If sod land or Land

necessary a leyeler or fine tooth harrow

that good crops cannot be raised from

ira cost Of the best seed many times

ed by the different experiment stations
In cutting seed potatoes that the high
est yield per acre IS obtained from sets
of four eyes TO the piece.
The plan Of using rather heavy land,
especially If clayey, for the growing OF
potatoes would not ordinarily be good
one, at least except for dry seasons. 1t
would certainly be hazardous on such
land to manure In drills as It would be
likely to result In a crop lady affected
By rot. There ere but few varieties Of
potatoes raised in New England that

dressing In drills. These include among
others Bliss Triumph, or, as it IS some
times called, Stray Beauty, White Bliss
or Pride Of the South, Rural New York
er, Great Divide and Dakota Red The
general rule throughout the potato
growing section Of AroostOok county is
to use fertilizer for the raising Of pota-
toes and to grow them on light, loamy
soil, the preparation Of the ground be-
ing practically the same In any case.
The heavy land and barn dressing Is
devoted almost exclusively to the hay
crop.
No progressive farmer would think
Of using a single fuTTow plow for
earthing up or hoeing potatoes. II was
the general practice for several years
in the early history Of Aroostook pota-
to raising to plant potatoes in drills.

Columbian University.

At Columbian University. both among
the students and the faculty. much regret
is felt over the resignation of Judge w.
S. Cox as dean of the Law School and
professor of real property. Resolutions
TO this effect have been passed.
Charles Needham. dean OF Schools OF
Law and Jurisprudence. has been select
cd TO fill the place male vacant by Judge
Cox's resignation.
Prof Needham has presented report
to the board of trustees noting the
changes which have been made in the
law school during the last four years
and the general results following these
changes. He says:
-Four years ago the length of time for
the bachelors degree was increased to
three years, and the studies divided into
special courses. Twenty-Five written ex-
aminations are required during the three
years course, and the standing of stu
dents in their class conference work Is
noted and considered in determining their
qualifications for the degree.
There are now approximately ten hours
per week fOrleach class and the class
rcom work has been changed from night
work to afternoon. The results of these
changes have been to nearly double the
attendance. the present registration in
the law school being 432. which. with
ifty- eight students in the post graduate
school. makes a total registration of 1870
students: the registration in the first
year classyis 13S. Heretofore there has
been quite a percentage OF students that
have fallen out during the first three
months of the course owing to their in
ability TO keep up with the work. but
under the present requirement as to ad-
mission and ths present methods of in
struction this percentage has greatly di-
minished, and there has been substan-
TALLY no loss OF students during the pres
ent year from this cause. This shows n
gratifying Increase in the educational at
tainments of the students who are attend
ing this school. and their ability to carry
on the work under present methods: the
change in the hours has been very grati-
flying, both to the faculty and the stu
dents, as Il gives more time for study
and puts The work in the afternoon The
school is n member OF the Association OF
