Wheat Gro,cing in Maine.
Premium. offered by the Maine Farmer.

The Maine Farmer OF the present week
has an interesting editorial on "Wheat
Growing in Maine" the Importance of
which it has been urging upon It's readers
for the past ten years. Ii cites the esti-
mate made by Greenleaf in his Survey
of Maine that in 1896 the exports Of
agricultural products from Maine amount
ed to value OF s409,56l, included in
which were l55 barrels Of -four from
Saco, 5,lS3 barrels Of -four from Port
land, and wheat in large quantities from
PASSPORT, Belfast, WiscaSset, Bath, Ken
nebunk and other ports. Those who are
not very old can remember when the first
foreign westerly -four was brought into
farming districts in Maine, and when far
mers themselves first began TO buy it for
their own use. As q result Of the atten-
ton given to this subject by the sgricul-
tural press and the various agricultural
societies, the Farmer reports that "we
have grown this year 100000 bushels
where only grew 27S, 900 in 1869. Large
yields per acre, and large yields in towns
and districts have been reported from ev-
cry quarter Of the State"
As an incentive toward the raising Of
larger yields. the better preparation of
the land and more intensive culture for
the wheat crop, the proprietors of the
Farmer offer a cash prize of one hundred
dollars, in three premiums, to be paid to
the successful competitors in the fall OF
1879, upon the following conditions:
l. On the part of the proprietors OF
the Maine Farmer. The money will be
placed in the hands of the Treasurer Of
the State Agricultural Society, the Trus-
tees of which shall appoint a committee,
to be by them awarded on the second day
Of the meeting of the State Fair, in the
fall of 1879, in premiums Of $50, $50,
and $50, respectively, to those farmers IN
Maine who shall grow the largest amount
of wheat per acre, the second largest, and
the thlrd largest.
>. On the part Of the competitors.
Farmers who intend to compete for this
premium shall signify such Intention to Us
on or before June lSt 1879, at which
time the list Of competitors will be pub
liShed in our columns. The land on which
the crop is grown shall consist OF one acre
Of 1910 square yards, which shall be
measured by sworn surveyor. The yield
Of the crop shall be given in bushels and
quarts, and q statement, sworn 10 before
a Justice Of the Peace, shall be present
ed TO the Committee after the same Is
harvested, containing the yield Of the acre,
the method Of preparing the ground, mode
OF culture, &c

The Manure Question.

Much as farmers in the Eastern States
value manure, il is doubtful whether most
OF US a. fully appreciate 1t as 1t deserves.
Few would now think OF putting IN any
important crop without manure; yet |; Is
too often at best but mere show Of 1t.
Poor folks In the olden time used 10 teach
their children economy in eating. They
were "to eat their bread ana smell their
cheese" and too often a farm crop has IN
like manner 70 rest satisfied with u mere
smell, instead Of having the chance to
make a hearty meal Of 1t as 1t ought to DO.
After all, the question is how 20 get
manure probably Il We have heap
Of sand on one side, aud heap OF manure
on the other, no man Is 30 deiberatel
stupid as to plant the sand-heap and let
the good ground 20. And yet, on the
other hand, II We are to pay hundred
dollars for the rich tract and but FIVE for
the sand-heap, it Is question of the yield
which decides. Ii the best We can get
from the former would be but fifty dollars
while the poor ground would give but
twenty We must let the poor ground 90.
We have indeed known men who have
gone on reckleSSly in msnuring and lost
money heavily; but on the other hand,
we feel sure that there are very many who
have opportunities to manure more than
they do, which would pay them well FOR
their labor. Many papers urge on their
readers 70 dig out swampS, and TO haul
this or the other, on the strength of some
analysis which has found good fertilizine
matter IN the material, and 1t frequently
turns out TO De valuable; but very often
the labor will cost more than the manure
i worth; and there viii be ioSs rather
than a gain.
But there Is on most farms large
amount Of matter going to waste which
can be collected without great expendi-
ture Of labor, or which can be got togeth-
er at a time when there Is not a great
amount OF pressing work, and which IT
PAYS well TO care for Each ones partic-
uar circumstances must guide hun.
This Is the season especially when much
vegetable matter generally goes 10 waste,
and when the labor Is getting easy on the
farm; hence a mint to look after the man
ure may not be lost, as wei as the sug-
geStiou that generally not near as much
manure Is usually given as the crops
would bear-Germantown Telegraph.

LITTLE EARS HEAR Parents and other
persons, though having at heart the good
Of children, are very apt to be needless OF
what they say in the presence OF the young
ones, whose minds and hearts catch the
hue Of every sentiment expressed. They
talk on, and the child is seemingly eOgag-
ed in It's play, but words and statements
then made come up days after, when, per-
haps, they had forgotten the conversation,
wonderfully fresh from the child's lips.
Its mind has been resolving what 1t heard
Tor good or evil Boys grow Old too fast
by hearing men at their talk among them
selves Says writer; "If we stopped to
think now every word spoken III the pres
ence Of little child affects its future, Tor
good or evil, we would be far more con-
siderate in our speech. 1t is astonishing
how, for days, children will ponder over a
careless word or sentence which no one
supposed they had even heard, and at
some critical moment use 1t themselves
with startling and horrifying effect. How
an impatient, petulant word shocks US,
coming secondhand from those innocent
lips! Then, alas we see and deplore its
real deformity, and realize how potent is
our influence over these observant inno-
cents, not only at all times, but at every
moment of time in which they are in our
presence. Calender

Origin Of "He Has an Are TO
Grind"

We owe more of our common sayings
and pithy proverbs to DR.. Franklin than
many Of US think or. know. We say Of
one who fattcrs or serves Us for the sake
Of some secret, selfish gain or favor, "He
has an axe to grind" In the doctors
Memories" is the following story, which
explains the origin Of the phrase. Frank
lin says
When | was little boy, | remember,
one cold winter morning was accosted
by smiling man with an axe on his
shoulder
MY little boy" said he, "has your
father grindstone?"
"Yes, SIT" said |.
You are fine little fellow" said he.
"Will you let me grind an axe on it?"
Pleased with the compliment of "a fine
little fellow" "Oh. yes. sir" | answered,
lit is down in the shop"
"And will you, my man, said he, pat
ting me on the head, get me a little hot
water2"
How could refuse? ran and soon
brought kettleful.
"How old are you? and what's your
name2" continued he,without waiting for
a reply. "I'm sure you are one OF the
finest lads that ever | have seen. Will
you turn few minutes for me2"
Tickled with the Aattery, like a fool |
went to work, and bitterly did | rue the
day. 1t was new axe, and | toiled and
tugged till l was tired to death. The
school bell rang and | could not get away ;
my hands were blistered and it was not
half ground At length, however, the
axe was shsrpened, and the man turned to
me saying:
Now, you little rascal, you've played
the truant; now scud away to school or
you'll get it."
Alas thought |, it was hard enough
to turn grindstone this cold day, but
now to be called a rascal was too much.
1t sunk deep in my mind and often have
| thought of it since,
When a merchant is oyer-polite to his
customers, begging them to take little
brandy, and throwing his goods on the
counter, thinks |, that man has an axe to
grind"
When | see man fattering the people,
making great professions OF liberty and
prating loudly about economy, who is IN
private a tyrant, methinks, Look out,
good people, that fellow would see you
turning grindstone.
Beware Of people who pay compliments
when there is no particular occasion for
50 doing. They have an axe to grind, and
il is not yours.

Clean Your Poultry Houses.

Do not let cold weather come upon
you unit. you have first attended to your
autumn cleaning for the hens. Take out
and burn all the straw from the nests, and
if the latter are very old add them to the
bonfire and put up new boxes. White
wash the house inside, putting carbolic
acid into tie Stacked lime; give the roots
coat Of kerosene oil. whitewashing
the nests, be careful to get the lime into
every crack and crevice. Dust the birds
with sulphur and carbOlic powder, if they
are badly troubled. 1t pays to take care
of your poultry. We frequently have
letters asking if poultry raising is profit
able. 1t can be made so, but rarely is.
We know Of one case where sixty hens
produce eight eggs per day, and Of an
other where, from ten hens, under the
care Of boy Of nine, six eggs are gath.
cred daily. Let one of the children as
sumo the care Of the poultry yard if you
havS not the time TO maze it q feature Of
your farming. Encourage him by selling
the fowls at fair price, allowing him to
pay for them in eggs, which you buy at
tue regular price, or which are sold and
placed TO MS account Get him to keep
his own accounts; let him pay for the
feed purchased, also, by the sale of eggs
and chickens. The boy viii be happier
for tee experiment, and will gain habits
Of industry that will be valuable to him
for all bis lile.-N. Y. Herald.

4 QUAKER TEMPERANCE LECTURE.-A
few years ago several persons were cross
ing the Allegheny Mountains in stage
coach. Among them was All honest, ear.
nest, sturdy Quaker As considerable
time Was on their hands they naturally
entered into conversation, which took the
direction Of temperance, and soon became
quite animated. One Of the company
did not Join with the rest. He was 4
large portiy man, well dressed, and OF
gentlomanly bearing. There were sharp
thrusts at the liquor business, and those
in it. Indeed, the whole subject was thor
oughly discussed and handled without
gloves. Meanwhile this gentleman stow
ed himself away in one corner aud main
tanned a stoical silence. After enduring
il as long as he could. with pOmpous
and maglsterial manner he broke silence
and said: "Gentlomcn, wan; you TO I'M
derstand that am liquor seller. keep

| sell to decent people and do reSpecta-
bic business When he had delivered
himself he seemed to feel that he had put
a quietus on the subject, and that no an
swer could be given. Not so though, the
Quaker; said he: Friend, that Is the
most damuing part of thy business. If
thee would only sell to drunkards and loaf
ers, thee would help kill off the race, and
society would be rid Of them But thee
takes the young. the pure, the innocent,
and makes drunkArds and loafers of them
and when their character and money are
gone thee kicks them out and turns them
over to other shops to be finished off ; and
then thee ensnares others and sends them
