Earning Interests Of Maine:" Ia
Farmers of Maine are better able to-day to
compete with Western farmers than twenty
years ago. Railroads and improvements en-

Fruits and Flowers !"
Man was created and placed in garden of
| fruits and flowers. His passions drove him

birth right. There is utility in fruits and
! flowers, as well as in roots and cereals, and
tocks and herds. Adam was weak to be
tempted by woman. Great progress has been
| made IN the past fifty years in Improvement
in art and in sciences; in horticultural and

out a garden of fruits and flowers and vege-
tables. Ii one half were devoted to this it
would work wonders in our social and eco

Paper read by Geo. L. Bracket, of Bel
fast, on ''What shall we do to be Savedl'
This query comes up year after year,
month alter mouth, day after day, and no an
swer that is satisfactory. From Aroostook to
| Oxford, from the forests to the sea, the cry
comes, what shall we do? and echo answers,
where! We must adopt speeialties; mixed
farming will not save US, speciality may. Do
every thin, well; not how much but how
well. We spread ourselves out too thin; we
attempt too much. What would we think of
man who attempted to master several trades
| at once! who attempted to be lawyer an
| editor, and an honest man, at the same time?
| Adopt that branch which circumstances die
tate and stick to it. Speeialties are our on
ly hope. Choose then and persevere. Each
locality must take its own speciality.
