upon twenty-acre field. A trial GOV.

clover alone, compared with a mixed
crop of timothy and medium red clio.

following results:

Average yield of hay per acre

alOne ................... ,265 lbs
Difference ................ 81 lbs
From this trial 1t will be seen that
the difference in hay yield from me-
dunn red clover and from mixed crop
of clover and timothy is small, and
the slight difference shown is in favor
of the mixed crop. Had the second
growth of clover been saved for hay
the total yields would have made a
much larger showing in favor OF the
pure clover in point of yield.

be bound to suffer II such step
should be taken. but he will when

This certainly does not indicate
losing results from beet culture.
The lower returns for 1905 were
du to the presence of blight. and
probably 1902 was for some such
reason. although the records do not
give the cause. Considering the
fact that these results were obtain
ed from several hundred acres. the
uniform holding up of the beet
yield is interesting to every beet
grower. These returns may well
be regarded as q fair criterion to
the maintenance of soil fertility by
the beet.

morning there were dozens of
teams that had to be brought back
on account of no volunteers to
drive them. II was different in the
afternoon though. The most liberal

those who were only volunteering

there were more bosses than work

SEAS EAT THE CONTINENTS
Process Of Erosion, However, Protects
the Land by Building Sand and
Single Beaches.

A great deal of interest is taken
in England in the question of coast
protection. The ocean, assailing the
cliffs, gradually tears them away,
but this very process furnishes de-
tense for the land by building up
long beaches of sand and single,
which arrest the waves before they
can attack the cliffs. An effort is
making to prevent, or better regu-
late, the removal Of this material
for construction and road building,
because in many places its removal
has permitted the sea freely to exert
its power of erosion.
The ordnance survey has ascer-
tanned that in the last IS years Eng
land has lost 6,640 acres by sea ero-
sion, and gained $4,000 acres
through retaining land, the exist
ence of which is mainly due to ma

the speech and demonstration may
take place, his friends will see to

of the nerve-racking labors of a

pears that proof-reader was dis

the punishment meted out to the
guilty except in extreme and de-
serving cases.
The writer gives a number of
examples Of such errors that have
been made recently, some Of which
are rather humorous. 1t is prob
able that the following attracted
more notice as they stand than
they would had they not escaped
the quick eye of the proof-reader:
