Mr. Howes was put off the train about four miles from Wadesborough, and he gave notice that he would sue the road for damages.

If not, barley is better grain to seed with than oats. Tho object to 1 be gained is to sow with some crop that is off the land early so as to give' the grass the field to itself. In all cases the earliest seeding with spring grain is best for the grass. It is : possible to sow clover seed or winter grain long before the soil is in condition to re ceive it, but with spring grain at least dragging or cultivating the sur- face is necessary to cover the bed, and this makes a better bed for clov er and grass seed than can be had where the work is delaved until the land has been ploughed more deeply.
