If the old pasture lands are to con-

necessary to observe some means of

There are doubtless thousands of pas
ture fields that are not available for
any other purpose than grazing. In
many cases they have been stocked so
heavily and the sod has been allowed
to get into such a bound condition that
the productiveness Of the field has
been vastly reduced The problem
that confronts the farmer is to devise
some means by which the usefulness
of these pastures may be increased.

do much to stimulate to a greater

Turtle Weighs 700 Pounds.

A monster sea turtle, known as a
leather-back, has been captured at the
mouth of the Nanticoke river, in Mary.
land. The turtle weighed between GOO
and ZOO pounds, was a fraction over
six feet long from tip to tip of shell
and had flippers over three feet from
tip to tip.
A half inch hawser was required to
halter the big fellow to post. During
an effort to free itself the rope, which
was fastened over the head and under
the fiippers. became so tight that it
was found that the turtle would be
cboked The big reptile became en-.
tangled in an ordinary fish net spread
off the mouth of the Nanticoke and
practically wrecked it.
