WANTS TO SEE NIXON.
Boston Woman Buncoed by Well

trail of mystery behind.
Mrs. Bayliss. who was we'll dressed

here to enquire as to the whereabouts
of real estate she thought she owned,
and incidentally to find r. D. Dixon,
who had for some years been acting in
the capacity of an agent for her.
She interviewed the chief of police
and had long talk with Detective

said that Nixon had at various times
procured from her sums ranging from
500 to $500. which she was led to be-

vestigatiOn she had concluded that she
was out $1,000.
Nixon is said to have referred to
Mrs. Bayliss as his aunt. She, how
ever, disclaims any, relationship. She
says he represented himself as ship
builder and claimed that the lumber
kings in this part of Canada were his
personal friends.
When Mrs. Baylis was here, last
summer, Nixon too her out for a drive,
and the horse was pulled up In front of

was his half-sisters. The house was
closed. as the occupants were in the
country.

found a family of colored people living
there. -.-'' 'i1'" -''-

Thorn from, Burning Store.

Auburn, Me, Feb. 9.-Some time ago
man, whose place of business was
burned out in Auburn alleged tina
the tiremen had taken a large number
of his cigars.
1t was asserted. also, that one. at
least. of the police said this was true,
and that he saw the firemen place sew
eral boxes of cigars under the seat of
the hose wagon. 1t is claimed that
there is no room under the seat for
cigars or anything else. The tiremen
have now demanded of the mayor that
the charges. If true. be proved.
The fire department is composed of
Republicans and the police department
is Democratic. The demand for the in

Or. Barbrick visits Augusta ut requ-
lar intervals for the purpose of per-
sonally attending to the immense prae.
tise he has succeeded in building up In
this place during the years he has been
coming here, and If you are sick or af-
flicted you should consult him at his
Offices at the Hotel North and avoid
the expense and loss of time a visit to
his Boston office would necessitate
The following offer is made to all who
call on him during this visit. That no
fee will be charged or received for con-
sultation. examination, advice or ser.
vices until the patient pronounees him
or herself cured. Dr.. Rarbrick has
adopted this plan for two purposes.
First, to show the confidence he him
self has in his methods Of treatment
and ability to cure. Second. to prove
that he can and does cure, even after
all others fail The remarkable cures
he has made here have given him a
reputation that can almost be vouchej
for by your next door neighbor. but if
you still have doubts. the above offer
should dispel them. Skill is gained by
experience. confidence is born Of sue
cess. Or. Earbrick has had an uniir,-
tied experience and his universal sue
cess has given him almost sublime con-
fidence, as is evidenced by his wonder
full offer to and his honorable dealings
with the sick public.
He treats all diseases that affiict the
the human race. The following are
few of the many diseases that he
treats successfully: Liver Complaint,
Dyspepsia. Bronchitis, Catarrh, Deaf
ness, Coughs. Gravel. Dropsy, Piles,
Paralysis, Epilepsy, rheumatism, Tu
mors, Cancers, Fistula, Kidney Dis
eases, Fever Sores, Diarrhoea, Asthma,
ErysipeIas, Heart Disease. SerofuIa,
Blood and Skin Disea ses of all kinds.
all nervous Diseases, and all diseases
and weaknesses of both sexes. The
rapidity with which he describes all
diseases is truly wonderful and aston
ishes all who may call upon him, and
he frankly tells all whether or not they
can be cured.
His extensive. practical experience
enables him to determine almost at a
glance whether case is durable
whether it can only be benefited. O.
whether it is incurable. His methods
of specially studying each case and APP
plying his remedies to meet each in
dfvidual requirement makes his mode
of treatment at once scientific in its
application. quick in its action and
positive in its results.
If you are sick this is your opportu-
nifty to be cured. No matter what the
disease you are suffering from or how
long standing, you should call on
him. II will cost you nothing and you
may profit by it. So. 3.

Grain Ration.

The amount of milk produced
by herd of mich cows does not
always depend upon the grain
ration. Says the Rural New
Yorker: Early cut hay, not too
course, taken in without rain ar
too much drying, if it has KEEP
nicely, will produce good flow of
milk with much less grain than
that which has ripened more.
this we had a chance to test re-
Gently, when changing from a

were few load of late cut on
the second NOW and this kind of
hay, although sweet and nice in
every respect except that it was
cut late, caused a falling off of

milk. The cows regained the
loss after we drew the late cut
hay to the horse barn, and COM
menced feeding the cows on the
early cut hay, down little in the

putable papers that the early cut
hay contains more protein than

asked the speaker at the insti-
tute about that, and he said 1t
was not true; that the early cut
bay is more pa'atable and the
cows eat more and do better;that
is all. 1 presume he is right.
We are feeding a fair amount of
protein in the grain feed anyway.
Palatability made a big differ

Familiar examples of the value
of humus may be found on every
farm, where crops growing where
stacks have stood show a much
more vigorous growth than sur
rounding parts of the field. Thisex-
ira growth is caused by the extra
amount of humus which accumu
lates in the soil from the stack
bottoms. The humus in farm
manures gives them their strong

tor cultivation, and at great cost
shows how keen, is the interest at
present taken in agriculture. The
demand, moreover, does not come
wholly from within the farming
industry itself. Thousand of
outsiders, men who never owned
a foot of land before, are seeking
to place their, money in good farm
property. There is not enough
suitably located togo around, and
hence that which hitherto has
been worthless has been called in
to requisition, and in few years

The commentary of this action

in irrigation is secured there is
comparatively little land in the
great West to settle on, therefore
there is this turning back and
utilization of water-logged land
that has long been the home of
frogs, turtles and snakes. Ex-
pansion is the policy of the far

angle from which this great de-
mand for land can be looked at
that does not develop favorable

HUMUS ANDITS VALUE,

The need of vegetable matter
in the soil for the production of
large crops has long been recog-
nized>by practical farmers. Most
of our western prairie soils are
naturally rich in humus from the
accommodations of centuries of
natural grass crops and the graz
ing of the herds of buffalo, and in
recent years the cattle of the
ranches have kept up the supply.
But throughout this vast district
there is coming to be demand
for more fertilizers; crops are
growing smaller and smaller
every year; and some remedy
mustsoon besupplied. Farmers
in Iowa, Illinois and the central
vest have recognized the natural
demands of the soil for veg BILE
matter, and are supplying it with
manure from the BARNARD.
The great wheat growing re-
gions have not yet felt the need
of humus to any appreciate OK.
tent, and still go on in their i'm
proyident way, burning the straw
stacks each year taking the crop
off the ground without any ade-
quate return. This sort of agri-
culture cannot last. Without
humus in the soil the fertility of
tie land is lost, there is nothing
to hold the soil particles together,
and crops are at the mercy of the
weather. The humus in the soil
holds the moisture and goes a
long way to prevent ravages of
drought.
Some recent experiments in
New York showed that on land
supplied with varying quantities
of humus and nitrates that plants
we'll supplied with these elements
resisted drought much better
than any others. A field was
planted with several different
grains, and varying quantities of
humus we're suppliedin different
parts of the field. Where the
humus was most plentiful the
the grains were heavier and OF
a much darker color, with great
vigor of growth, and were little
affected by severe dry weather
