 The circumstances surrounding the actual employment of the claimant Ill this case are practically these:
 When it was found that MT. Bugbee Claimants patien) was to enter the Day Kimball hospital, it was believed by the superintendent that a special nurse would be necessary as he was quite ill and had been at the hospital about a, week before an X-ray to be taken and knowing more or less of the patients physical and mental condition, it was believed that special nurse would De needed.
 It is found that the claimant did not know what the case was until she was put on to it, or whether it was a special case or otherwise, nothing having been said to her about the source from which her wages would come.
 It is found that it was the custom or rule at the Day Kimball hospital to pay the wages of a nurse in case a patient failed to do so.
 In this case the patient paid the nurses board and room expense as long as he was able to, and at his death his estate paid the nurses wages. As to the hiring of the claimant, the testimony shows that her name was suggested to the superintendent of the hospital by Dr. Morrell, who was to be the medical attendant of MT Bugbee, the patient whom she was hired to serve, and further that the superintend- ent was asked by the said physician to secure Mrs. Joslin for tne case, which she did.
 Considering the facts as found and for reasons more fully set forth in a memorandum of decision attached to the finding, it is found that there was no relation of employer and employed l aS-iC+ tbe pital and Mrs. Joslin at the time of hel
 injury, and that she was the employed of the patient whom she was attending at the time of said injury, and her clain for compensation must, therefore, bt l disallowed.

FARM BUREAU DEMoNsTRATEs
 VALUE OF LIME ON LAND

During the last two years, number of lime demonstrations have been put in by various farmers in cooperation with the New London County Farm Bu- re3u. In most cases this was spread on ploughed ground and thoroughly har- rowed in, leaving a strip in the same field unlimed as a check plot. Last year the demonstrators reported their obser- vations, the majority of them stating that there was a difference in favor of the Timed area. A. E. Fellows of Nor Wich Town reported eight loads of oat hay from the three acres which were Timed while only two loads were secured on the acre that was unlimed. This year the demonstration plot was in grass The Timed area produced hay at the rate of S,590 pounds per acre while the unlimed area produced at the rate of 2,277 pounds per acre. The quality on the unlimed area was also inferior to the hay on the lined area With a difference of over 1900 pounds of hay per acre in favor of lining, it is not difficult for MT. Fellows to figure that it 1 pays well to use lime, especially with 1 baled hay quoted at from S35 to $45 wholesale
 Another demonstration which is show ing results is located in Lebanon on the

Top Slicing Hard Work
In mines where the top-slicing met

In the other mines
Most OF the Iron county mines are
worked upon the back stopping or un-

this method can be followed. A much
