the retailer TO make his profits, with

The defence in the Brattleboro re-
treat investigation have been having
an inning.
DR.. Winfred H. Lane of Brattle-
boro testified that the retreat COM
pared favorably with institutions of
the same character in Massachusetts,.
DR.. George R. Anderson and Harry
Greene of Brattleboro testified along
the same lines and DR.. George B.
Landers, former assistant physician,
declared that he knew nothing what
ever of Mrs Guilford's affairs.
DR.. E. E. Potter repeated his for
mer testimony and swore "before
God" that his daughters jaw was not

$50 YEARS OF PROFIT
ABLE GRASS

In England there is a park at
the famous Rothamsted expert
ment station, which has been
used as meadow for more than
two and one-half centuries,
which was used as a hay field at
the time of the Revolution, and
which was in sod when Amer
lea was being colonized. This
park has been top dressed an
nually for the last sixty years.
At the beginning of this period
it was producing about " tons
of hay per acre. Where fertili-
zers have been used, the aver
age acre yield for SO years has
been in one case 2.7 tons, in an
other 3.3 tons, and in a third
case Al tons, depending upon
the amount of top dressing ap-
piled. This is really a wonder
full accomplishment, and should
make those farmers who are
content with mining" instead
of farming, with robbing the soil
and year after year getting
smaller and smaller crops, feel
that possibly they are using to
the fullest, the opportunities
given them.

Hay in Long Rotations.

Most rotations include two or more
years of grass and clover instead of
one year. This is desirable. It re-
duces seed cost, and also furnishes a
heavy sod which, turned under, helps
maintain the humus of the soil. In
this case, tOp-dressing is necessary
after the frs year. Such annual top
dressing maintains yields, and also
turns a good profit, sometimes an I'M
usually large profit.
