Rotation in Pastures

Pasture experiments in Great
Britain during the last few years
indicate that better results can be
secured from a rotation in pas
lures. and that while there are
some lands which are continuously
in grass, writes an agriculturist in
the Montreal Herald, yet in many
cases the laying down of land to
permanent pasture is not regarded
as good a system of farming as
establishing a rotation of crops in
Guiding grass.

THE following letter has been re-
ceived from Duncan Mclean Of
Teaneck, N. j.:
MAY ask you to clarity dispute
on the use Of purpose and propose7
Will you be kind enough to declare
which of the following Is correct:
81. The purpose Of this class Is edu-
cation, and I propose to attend.
-. The purpose of this class is edu-
cation, and purpose to attend.
IS. I propose TO attend the class for
the purpose Of education.
-. I purpose to attend the class for
the purpose Of education.
The misuse Of propose is about the
comnonest error made. and in spite
of its dreadful improperly it Is ap-
proved in some quarters.
II think I should point out that
this was an error that Dana Of the
Old Sun would never condone. and
yet very day people say I propose
when their meaning is I intend
II think that this error should be
brought to the attention Of those
interested in better and clearer Eng
liSh."
From the New Standard Dictionary:
propose, 2. To put and hold before
ones mind as q design or determina-
ton; formulate as purpose; purpose,
intend; as, man never does all he
proposes.
From the foregoing 1t would appear
that purpose is a synonym OF propose.

be job. the indulgence Of pet whim,

In none of these instances is q
cap actually set; nor does cap figure
at all-except in the case Of woman.
let us say. who sets her cap for a
certain man-which is the instrinsic
sense in which the phrase first came
into being.
The original allusion was to the
most seductive millinery q woman
possessed, and which she wore only
on the occasion whenGshe was doing
her utmost to look her best and so
attract the favorable attention OF
some especial man-for whom she
would be said to have set her cap.

Modern Style

Done in modern decorative style,
each Of the four panels represents
a season Of the year. In all, 1T
different animals, birds and reptiles
are painted In their respective life
sizes and natural colors. At least
one specimen from every species
native to Connecticut Is represented.
The outstanding artistic feature
Is the expression of action through
lines that tend to converge toward
the center of the mural. AS an IL
luStration the downward curving
line in the bobcats back suggests
that he may be about ready to
jump after his breakfast. White,
blue, green and brown colors used
In different proportions appropriate
to the Spring, Summer, Fall or
Winter season give an emotional
effect of cheerfuiness and beauty.
Each mural Is feet by 4 feet and
is hung on bare WhiteWashed walls.
Specially
The 26 year old artist, Ernest II.
Hart, Is a graduate of the Art
Students League OF New York, and
has made the painting Of animals

editor of Dogs and Kennel Science
Magazine and has had his paint

for such institutions they say
brightness, color, appropriateness
of subject matter, and the express

essential features.

Parents Take Initiative in

for Action
WASHINGTON HILL

The cold snap Of the past few
weeks, which has covered nearby
lakes and ponds with a solid layer
of ice, has set skating enthusiasts
OF the Washington Hill district to
wondering when steps will be taken
toward flooding the park baseball
diamond. No action has been taken
in that direction as yet.
Parents of children skaters OF
this district have no worries while
they are at the park rink, for the
water Is never more than 3 feet deep
and supervisors are very rigid in
keeping skaters off when the ice Is
not sufficiently solid to insure
safety. 1t Is expected that meas
ures for damming and flooding the
surface will be taken in few days.
1t will also be necessary to REIN
stall the flood lights.
