Edwin Farnham Greene, president of the National Association of Cotton Manufacturers, strongly supported the Mellen management of the New Haven system in an address before the New England Dry Goods Association al the Hotel Brunswick recently.
 "I am one of those who believe, '' said MT. Greene, "that there has been altogether too much criticism and too little help given to the rail- roads in this section. sincerely be- Iieve that if the Boston 6 Maine rail- road had not gone to the New Haven it might have gone to some other road that would have taken it further away. The Boston 6 Albany slipped away from us in a night. The people of New England have missed golden opportunity in not meeting the situ- ation half way.
 "A strong New England railroad which controls the situation can dic- tate terms and rates in spite of the Inter- State Commission to the distinct advantage of New England. MT. Mellen and his associates, believe, are sincere in their efforts to benefit New England. The Boston 6 Maine and the New Haven are New England railroads, and their success depends just as much on the success of New England as your business and my busi- ness do. It is a serious thing for New England to have this present state of hostility and criticism, when most of us would be better off if we would try to do something constructive instead of destructive in the railroad

A Proiectile's Gain of speed.

Experiments with improved instru- ments for measuring the velocity of projectiles have shown that the speed goes on increasing after the missile has left the mouth of the cannon. Leaving the muzzle with a velocity of 1,474 feet a second, projectile has been observ- ed to increase its speed to 1889 feet a second within the first six feet. It is only after having travelled twenty-five yards that the projectile's velocity be- comes reduced to the speed it had on leaving the muzzle. This is ascribed to the impulse of the expanding gas be- ing felt for some distance beyond the cannon's mouth.-New York Tribune.

KILL WEED SEEDS
BY USING A SlL0
Do Not Retain Sufficient Vitality
to terminate in Spring, Says
Missouri Expert.

That the seeds of the common field
weeds when ensiloed with corn, peas
or any forage used as silage will not
retain sufficient vitality to germinate
in the spring when returned to the
land mixed with manure, is the be-
lief Of E. 3. Hart, chief agricultural
chemist of the College of Agriculture
of the UniverVity of Wisconsin, aEN
A. l.. Stone, state seed inspector.
While there are no experiments on
record with regard to the combined
chemical action of silage and manure
on the termination of seeds, it Isl
quite likely that there is little danger
of seeding valuable fields with nox-
ious weeds in this manner. AS am
added precaution the storing of ma
nure under a shed is, because of the
fermentation taking place in the con-
post heap, to be advocated as sure
means of destroying any weed seeds
contained therein.
