From the Farmers Reveiw: 1t is an
open question - tn many what crop to
grow in the orchard. 1 have grown
corn. COW peas. sofa beans. sorghum
and several other things in a small
way. In the bearing orchard 1 prefer
COW peas and sofa beans for June and
July planting. I can then pasture
those crops off with sheep after the ap-
pies are off the trees For the younger
trees 1 have been growing sofa beans
and COW peas for seed and feed. l have
quit growing corn and sorghum in the
orchard. For a winter mulch 1 would
prefer a vetch, but the high price OF
vetch seed prevents its use. Canada
peas / have used and like. Barley and
oats do well. / believe that sorghum
sown in August and early September
might be a good winter mulch.-A. A.
Hinkley, Washington County, Illinois
Selecting and Keeping Seed Corn.
From the Farmers Review: AS save
from 300 to 500 bushels of seed corn
per year. will tell you the way that
I have found most satisfactory in Sc
lecting and keeping. I have a house
with cement floor and trimmed on all
sides feet high with bins raised 2
feet from the floor and legs timed.
This makes it rat and mice proof. 1t
is made with plenty of doors and win
dows on all sides so that the wind can
blow through in fair weather and
closed and fire in bad weather until
corn is thoroughly dried. 1 select my
seed when husking: can get the grains
and ears more uniform, and a better
quality than at any other time. Have
never failed in getting good stand of
corn when selected and cured in this
way.-W. M. Green, Will County, Illi-
nois.
Fat Pereentage-BueterQ Quality.
From Farmers Review. In answer
to the question you ask. whether but
ter made from milk containing a low
per cent of fat is as good in quality as
that made from milk of a high per
cent of fat, will say that usually milk
of high per cent of fat makes a bet
ter grade of butter and the product
is more economically made. There
are, however. good many exceptions
II the low testing milk has large fat
glnbules and the g1obuIes have the
right proportion of stearin, palmftin,
and oIein fats. the butter made from
this milk win be equally as good as
that made from the high-testing milk,
but as said before. usually the high
testing milk makes better butter.

TROLLEY ROUTE.
Plans on New Line 10 Boston
Are Progressing.

Tho promoters of the plan TO furnish
the public a straight line OF electrics from
this city to Boston are moving as active
ly as possible.
The lines that figure in this new through
line are the Union OF this city, Interstate
Mansfield, Foxboro, Norwood. Canton
and Sharon, Blue Hin and Boston Elevai-
ed. Through passengers from this city
would be carried TO Pawtucket by the
Union Railroad company. At Pawtucket
Interstate cars would connect with Attle-
boro and at Attleboro the proposed Mans
field line would connect with the FoXboro
Street Railway by the way OF Mansfield.
In Foxboro connection with Norwood,
Canton and Sharon cars would join at the
other end with the proposed Blue Inn
line across Milton TO Mattapan, where
the Boston Elevated ears would complete
the last section direct to Boston.
At Mansfield the proposed through line
would connect with the Norfolk Southern
lines, which connect with Boston by the
way OF Walpole and Dedham. At the
same place. Mansfield, the through line
would make CONNECTIONS with the Mans
field and Easton line connection with Bos-
ton by the way of Easton and Brockton.
At the point where the Canton and Blue
Hill lines are TO be connected. at the
town line OF Canton, there is TO be a
spur or loop line connecting with Read
Vile and Hyde Park.
Those who are interested think the time
Is not far away when electrics will be
run over this route from this city TO Bos-
ton without change.

A series OF legal adventures has been
almost concluded. whereby 5i-year-old

If Adam Maitland establishes his claim
1t will end contest for the title that
has lasted for more than a century and a
quarter The first step was taken In 1172.
when Richard Maitland, then Earl OF
then the title has been vacant.
Investigation has shown that Richard
Maitland lived in New York city. where
he was married and died. The records OF
his marriage and death remain unfound'
and without them the title and fortune
cannot be legally turned over To the heirs.
There is no question in Scotland as to the
justice OF their claim, only the legal tech
nicaIity stands In the way.

ily consisting of five sons and five daugh-
ters ranging from four TO 20 years i'm

Providence Horse in Fine Condition for
Racing --Dartmouth's Games
With Brown General Gossip.

The response 10 the early closing purses
opened by the New England Breeders as
ISOLATION has been fattering in the ex-
treme Secretary c. NJ. Jewett has tabu-
lated the entries and finds that 169 nomi-
nations have been made I'm the six purses,
and that the number OF horses named In
the various events is close 10 300. This
insures six grand races for the grand cir
cult meeting between horses from all Sec
tions of the country.
In the Massachusetts stake for trotters
eligible to the 2:12 trots. is nominations
have been secured, but the horses will not
have to be named until about ten days
previous TO the race. In the Blue liill
2:30 trot, there are 80 nominators; I'm the
2:l6 trot 36 nominators I'm the three
year-old trot. p nominators; In the 2:lO
pace, II nominators; In the 2;2i pace, there
are 36 nominators.
In the 2:l2 class is entered Prince Alert,
owned by James Haney OF this city, and
quartered during the past winter at Mar
ragansett park.
Speaking OF Prince Alert, the Boston
Herald has the following to say OF the
speedy stallion. his owner and his trainer:
In Prince Alert (2:c0A) Mart Demarest
has what many consider the fastest PAGER
I'm training Just how he will be able TO
place the PAGER IS the question that Is
troubling the clever reinsman. The two
natural opponents of this celebrated side
wheeler are Little Boy (2:0l10 and Ana
conda (2:0l%).
IL is doubtful II Little Boy will be
raced against him, as his owner. G. *.
c. Billings is an ardent devotee OF
matinee racing. The owner OF Anaconda
was hot for a match while the snow was
on the ground, but after Mart Damarest
was able to leave Hot Springs and showed
up I'm New York with bank roll the
Bostonian de~lined TO make match.
Not until within a few days has Ana
conda been given any slow jogging. A
wear ago Jack Trout had the snake
horse" in good shape and he was ready
for the early races. IL Is doubtful now
II Anaconda will be ready until late In
the season. after the complete let-up he
has received.
Several good trainers think that Ana
conda's chances against the hoppled PAGER
would, be better early In the season, but
at the present time Prince Alert Is In
good condition TO receive quick speed
making work while the trainer OF Ana
conda will have to go slow for some time
in order to muscleup his horse for n
bruising race. Just at present II looks
as though Prince Alert would have TO get
the money by giving exhibtions-not "A
happy outlook for such admirers OF rae
ing as James Hanley and Mart Damarest'

Today was taken the final step neces-
sary to make the projected Industrial
Exposition at Crescent Park positive
reality.
Up TO this time, every contract for ex-
hibition space signed by intending exhi-
bitors has contained a clause providing
that unless a sufficient number or exhl-
bitors had been obtained by March 10,
TO ensure the success OF the Exposition,
all contracts might then be cancelled
Accordingly, until today there was still
left a remote possibility that the EXPO
sition might not he held.
When the members of the executive
committee of the New England Associa-
tion of Arts and Crafts met today with

number of exhibitors already enrolled,
but as 10 the representative character
and high class of the exhibits them

IL was. decided, therefore, 20 take i'm
mediate steps for the erection of the
