not to sol! them to bo finished by

ways a poor business. Generally
speaking, and leaving out just now
the element of speculation, the pro -

In the first place, fattening cattle

manure, a large part of the ele-

largo share of these elements for
the growth of bone and muscle, to
be subsequently walked off the
farm. The manure from fattening
stock is much more valuable than

The fort. is of considerable size, sur-
rounded by an earthen shoat, inside
which is what is locally called a
Druid circle, composed of hundreds
of stones. Early this year, When
some of the stones were being cart-
ed away for building purposes, a
ciner('ry urn was discovered, and
since May 2, thirteen separate
graves have been found in the fort,
each with its urn, most of which
were smashed during the digging.
The largest of the graves is about
three feet square, and is assumed
to belong to the chief, and in
were found two round flint balls,
weighing from '2 to 2'/ ounces, and
it large number of flint spear heads.
The fort is evidently a cemetery of
the stone age, and it is highly de-
sirable that the authorities should
take immediate steps to preserve it
from demolition, and carry out sys-
tematic exsavati'n so that the an.
tiquarian treasures may be preserv-
