MOLASSES PUTS MOTOR

Driver Who Used it for Oil Has Peel,

Dolcr, Me-, June 5.--Dover people
had the laugh on the driver of an able

toweo thru the town, not because there
had cen engine trouble" but because
the liver had applied the contents of

set about preparations for his motor

harder he worked the worse the engine
ran. He tinlsered with the carburetor,

BURNING OFF LAND
AN INJURIOUS PRACTICE
Kills Tenderest Species Of Grasses and
Destroys Much Valuable Fertil-
izing Material.

Burning off land is an injurious
practice without adequate benefits"
says Prof. w. j. Morrill,, of the Colo
rado Agricultural College. 1t is a
common practice in most parts of the
United States, and one formerly used
to some extent by the Indians, yet
careful invest sligation leads 10 the
conclusion that the benefits are
mostly imaginary and the evils are
very real.
when the dead grass is removed
by fire, the young sprouts Of the grass
are exposed to view in early spring
when otherwise no new growth is
evident This leads to the fallacy
that the burning has increased the
forage. Occasionally drop in tenn
perature or a drying wind will cause
the exposed shoots to be- killed back,
and the recurrence Of this misfortune
in the course of some years naturally
results in the elimination of Che tend.
crest species which give place 90 the
tougher and less nutritious species.
where fire has not been used, a
mulch Of dried grass protects the
young sprouts during the uncertain
weather Of early spring. There are
just as many sprouts as on the burned
off area, but they are hidden. The
tender species, usually the most nu-
tritious ones, are saved TO the uiti-
mate benefit OF the range. The range
customarily burned Off is a dctsrior-
ating range, even when IL has the app
pcarance of being fully stocked with
grasses, because the quality Of the
species is deterioratine

decaying grass mulch is o better fer

Expenditures on War Account.

There is much yet to hope for in \
reduction in Dominion expenditure as
the war recedes to the background.
For August Dominion war expenditure,
exclusive OF pensions, ran to $14 ,087, 900,
a reduction of $4,500,000 on August of
the preceding year, but since the end OF
March or the beginning OF the present
financial year capital expenditure on
war account has totalled no less than
1921, 4S71S9. almost double the sum OF
the same months last year. A reassur-
ing sign Is in the increase in miscel-
laneous revenue, mainly income and
business profits tax, which last month
amunted to S10,9l0.000. compared with
$S.7S0,000 in the same month a year
ago.
Some of these favorable conditions
may be reflected in the buoyancy of the
stock market. At any rate, the buyers
seemed to take hold with a firm grasp
about the middle OF last week, and prices
rose and volume OF trading increased
right up to Saturday. At first 1t seemed
to be a continuation OF the investment
buying. but latterly an element of spec
ulatiOn appeared as the popularity OF
non-dividend stocks increased. Domin-
