discharged for want of evidence.
A special agent of the department
of justice sent out to investigate the
charge made a written report that Dr.
Perrin should never have been in
dicted; that improper methods were
employed to bring about his indict-
ment, and even after the government
officers were aware that they could
not make a case against Dr. Perrin,
the indictment was allowed to hang
over his head for many months. to his
great personal detriment.

VARIETIES OF
TAME GRASSES
Careful Study WiII Disclose Fact
That F1ocks and Herds Thrive
Better on Mixture Than ON
One Kind.
CBy S. NJ. MILLERD

tBy >. M Mll<LEh-)
There is no one matter connected
with good farm management that is
more deserving of more careful atten-
ton than the growing of tame grasses,
and the maintaining of the productive
capacity of our permanent pasture
land. The successful grass grower
needs to have a practical understand
ing of all the species of tame grasses
that we grow and cultivate on our
farms as well as a knowledge of their
requirements and conditions that are
essential to their growth Much of
the success and many times all of the
profits of our farms are directly de-
pendent upon the amount and quality
of hay and forage produced.
A cause of the inferiority of our
meadow lands is the fact that they
are supporting numberless useless
weeds.
If we could rid our meadows of
this pest 1t. would add millions of dol
lars TO the pockets of our farmers.
How can ii be done? BY thorough till
age? BY the use of more grass seed?
Most emphatically no. That would
be in direct opposition to the laws Of
nature.
We may prepare the soil in the
best possible manner and SOW on

He was on the first vacation he had
taken since college days. The last
few years had been strenuous ones for
the keen young business man. Mind

As the canoe swept down stream,
Ralph Hurlbut was conscious of an ex-

one image persisted, and at last drove
