Crops at the Retreat Farm.

While the drought this season ecllpses

would have felt satisfied this year II he got
1900 bushels. While he has dug only two
acres and cannot make guess whether
the two are an average OF the crop he has
harvested 3S1 bushels of potatoes; He
did not plant any grain this year as he as

corn crop viii hardly come up to the aver
age of few years past on the Retreat
farm. On the meadow to the north OF the
Retreat buildings Mr.. Roel has two pieces
of corn. One is in a thrifty condition.
The one nearly opposite his home on Ian,
den street shows plainly the effects Of
water rather than lack. OF moisture.
large part of the meadow is soft mud
since the setting back Of the water in the
Connecticut and West rivers by the
building OF the dam at Vernon. What
was once the best of corn land Is now oil
little value in raising that crop. The hay
crop over large part of the big meadow
is extremely light. However. Mr.. Roels
vegetable gardens are revelation to per

body itself is not so very much over grown, but the bones of the legs suffer from over-aetive glands and grow enor- mously long, raising the body and head far up above normal mankind.
 The middle road, where walks average mankind. is the only fortunate one Both dwarfs and giants are sick people, and both are usually much shorter lived than normal sized humanity. Dwarfs are pro verbally cross tempered and giants are supposed to enjoy a sort of slowwitted good nature.
 The condition that brings about dwarfs is more easily understood than that which produces the giants. The glands that pro- duce bone material seem to be in some curious manner under the mysterious con trol of the thyroid gland. In the dwarfs this gland fails to reach normal activity, and in giantism the thyroid gland over does its work The bone making cartilage in the legs naturally is called on to do most the growing process, and where there is overproduction the leg bones take up most of this unhealthy excess.
 For giantism no cure has even been sug- gested. but for dwarfed children a num- Der of most startling results have been brought about by injections of secretion from thyroid glands taken out of calves. The whole subject of dwarfs and giants is one of great popular interest. and it is interesting also to know that cruel-heartei science boldly denies that such thing as race of giants could ever have existed. and that today the average man Is taller than his ancestors of prehistoric times.
