Etherizing of patients for operations,

other drugs than ether are used for
special requirements; and the anes-
thetic, for spinal anesthesia, or other
local use, is given by other means
than iflhaling. The physician who
has special charge of the anesthetiz-
ing department has made a speciality

rotation of crops Is contained in the
bulletin and is as follows:
1.-THE rotation or order in which our
crops should be planted to secure the
greatest return with the least ex-
haustion of soil is most important.
Every farmer in the State is already
following some form of rotation, but
in many cases the rotation is not
adapted to the crop or soil conditins
upon his farm.
In arranging q successful and prof
liable rotation we must know some-
thing of the needs of the crop, and
the value of the fertility returned to
the soil in the residue of the crop.
For example, corn requires large
amount Of nitrogen products, such as
stable manure, green manure, or
commercial fertilizer strong in nit
rates. The potato needs both large
supply of nitrates for the plant and
potash and phosphoric acid for the
tuber, while grain crops require less
of the nitrates and more of the phos-
pilates and potash.
ut is necessary in planning the re-
tation to take into account the kind
of farming we are engaged in, the
physical properties of the soil and the
number of acres we can handle each
season. The following are few rota-
tons which have been tried out in
different sections under different
methods of farming and have given
good satisfaction.
Rotation Potatoes. corn, grain,
clover hay.
Rotation II-Grain, corn or pota-
toes, grain, clover.
Rotation III-Potatoes, grain. clover

Rotation IV-This rotation is one
which could we'll be adapted to con-
ditions on more OF our Maine farms
The rotation could be worked some
thing after this plan where the area
cultivated is large and there is q
scarcity of humus in the soil.

1st year-Sowing grain, also sowing
l pounds per acre of red clover.
End year-Plow in clover and plant

Srd year-Grain, seeded with clover
or mixed grasses.
4th year--Clover hay.

WHY DOCTORS NO LONGER
CLAIM TO "CURE" PEOPLE.

A few years ago it was a common
thing for the family doctor to say, Il
will cure you in a few days" This
cheerful prophecy often gave the pa
tient new hope and courage but it is
no longer good form. Doctors still
"cure' malaria and few other
troubles in which their medicines have
direct or specific" action on the
virus of the disease. In other cases
they simply give supporting medicine
and keep up the strength of the pa
tient until nature effects cure.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills cure
chlorosis and other troubles due to
thin blood because they have specific
action on the blood, building it up,
purifying and enriching it. This d.
rect action on the blood also makes
them the best supporting and
strengthening medicine. If you are
thin and weak, breathless after slight
exertion. IL you have palpitation of the
heart. gas on the stomach, cold hands
and feet, If you are nervous and cas-
lily irritated and show other signs Of
weakened vitality, try these strength

FOR OVER 100 vEARs
Coal of Superior Quality Has Been
Washed Up on Popham Beach.

A Bath citizen informed = Bath
Times man Friday that 40 years ago
he and party OF Bath men were pass
ing the day at Small Point and while
stroiling on the Beach, the day sue
ceeding q great storm. found the sands
strewn with coal washed up by the
surf, and they picked up peck or
two Of Jumps of coal Obtaining some
stones, they made an impromptu oven
III which they placed the coal over a
newspaper for kindling. They used no
other kindling than this and the coal
easily ignited and soon the party had
a roaring blaze In their little oven on
which they heated their coffee and
cooked some Holsters and CLAIMS. At
that time Capt. Wildes, OF the Phipps-
burg family of Wiides, was living and
he told the party from this city, that
his father and grandfather had picked
UP this coal after the big storms and
used II for fuel. Capt. Wildes, were he
living today. would be 100 years old
and going back to the boYhood days of
his grandfather would date the find
ing of the sea washed coal at least 100
years in this one case.
In those days there was no general
use OF coal In Maine, no steamers on
TIE coast to use coal and no vessels
passing along these shores to be
wrecked and so furnish the supply Of
coal. Moreover as has been so often
said by the Times, and citizens here.
this coal is different from any known
coal mined on the Atlantic coast.
