IRRIGATES HIS GARDEN.
John j. DnnsrO of Rutland Has Mod
crn Apparatus for Assisting Nature.

Although there has long been demand
for fresh vegetables to be sold by tha
house to house method in this city, mar
ket gardening has not, in recent years AT
least been attempted on a large scale
by anyone living near Rutland until with
in a short time John j. Dansro, who
owns property on the Cold River road,
a short distance east of the Bellows Falls
division of the Rutland railroad. who be-
gan on a small scale a few years ago.
now has one of the largest gardens to h,
found in the county and he has adopted
a modern irrigation system so that the
dry weather of the last few summers has
not retarded the growth of his vegetables.
Mr. Dansro owns a place of seven acres,
six of which are under cultivation, and
he has two more acres on an adjoining
farm which are planted to garden truck.
Mr. Dansro has a large family of chill
dren. who with Mrs. Dansrn. help him
In the business. He also hires one man.
He cites the fact that a few years ago ma
bought his place without having a cent
of his own in the world, and In addition
to supporting his family, has paid for
most OF the real estate, and made i'm
| provements, as a good illustration OF tho
opportunities of market gardening as
profitable business
| All the vegetable which are ordinarily
grown In Vermont are to be found at the
| pansro farm--beans. peas, carrots oeets'
pa rr,nips parsley corn, lettuce radlshes,
| tomatoes. rhuharh, onions cabbage, pep
pers. spinach, celery. asparagus. each in
sav.ral varieties So that there may be-
products with which to supply customers
from early spring until late in the winter.
Cold frames and hotbeds are used to sup
plement the open garden in order to cons
plete the years cycle.
| Ten thousand celery plants, 400 tomato
vines. 4,Gno heads of cabbage. an acre Of
peas, all looking thrifty and in separate
beds, give the garden a fine appearance,
other varieties are to be found in pro-
portionately large numbers In soma
places two crops are grown on the same
| piece of ground, late beets or tomatoes
| following spinach and radishes,
The garden is irrigated by means of a
series of pipes, one and one-half inches
in diameter which take water from Mus
sey brook which bounds the pansro place
on the north. The water Is pumped into
| the pipes by n gasoline engine, the capac-
ity OF the apparatus being 70 gallons a
| minute BY means of the skinner sys-
tenn of MOBILES ON the pipes and $50 feet
of rubber hose the water is made to reach
all parts of the garden which suffer from
drought.-Rutland News.

Attorney General r. +. Brown to-day

vices in Windham county. Treating tha
subject as a ledger balance his showing
is sl,1465s paid to detectives, fines col
lected 81 300 leaving n balance in favor
of the State at $15342, This showing Is
fairly satisfactory as far IT goes, but
would have been more Illuminating II Mr.
Brown had given in fun the payments
made to home grown" or common
garden variety of detectives. The ques-
ton whether the regularly constituted Of
ficials should not have secured the pro-
secutions without the assistance Of detec-
tlves, either outside experts or local
sleuths is not answered convincingiy.
In the old days before the State had an
attorney general some of the States at
torneys cleaned up the liquor sellers and
other law breakers at a profit to the
State without paying for detectives.
