experiments are being made in the

diers both practical and theoretical
farming during their service in the
ranks. Many of the soldiers, even
those from the cities, become so in
terested that when they have finish
ed their term they take advantage On
law passed some years ago, by when
they are enabled to purchase small
plots of land by the. payment in
ready money of quarter OF its val
ne. In this way it is hoped to stem
the rush of people from the agricul-
tural districts to the cities, which
has caused so much anxiety to the
authorities of recent years.
The Prussian State itself sells
much of its reclaimed moor lands IN
this manner in plots ranging from
half an acre to twenty-five acres

of the purchase money, and also

In some instances larger plots Oh
land are acquired from private
owners by the State and laid out in
contiguous small farms, which are
sold in a similar manner to farm
laborers. These, by system OF CO.
operative working, are enabled to
cultivate their land at much
cheaper rate than if they were work
ing alone. The idea of the gradual
purchase system is spreading rapid

that Rosamano gave Gonsouland a
check for S1259.17, which represented
the amount of the sale, less certain
transfer charges. 1t is alleged that
when Gonsouland attempted to draw
against the check, he found that pay
ment had been stopped.
Suit was entered in the Civil Dis
trict Court for restoration to Gonsou-
land, the sale was set aside and Rosa
mano was given ten days in which to
pay. Meantime, it is charged, Rosa
mano evicted Gonsouland from the
premises and seized the latter's furn-
iture.
Gonsouland got possession of the
property, then brought suit for the
value of his furniture and certain
rents said to have been collected by
Rosamano.
Rosamano won this contention in

case had consumed two days. 1t is
