ANOTHER NARROW GAUGE RAILRoAD'-A

son in Piscataquis county, that parties inter-
.ested in the Skowhegan and Athens narrow
gauge railroad were in that town few days

an extension of that line from Athens to Mon
son through the valley of Wellington, Kings
bury and Abbot village. The slate quarries
Of Monson now produce about 25,OOo squares
Z year, or 1880 narrow-gauge car ioads'
This slate would be eleven miles nearer bos-
ton by this line than BY any other route tha'
has ever been suggested. The distance from
Monsoon to Portland via B. & P. r. 4. is 2lot
miles and via Newport it would be lou
miles, while it is only 80 miles from there TO
Skowhegan on the proposed line, making the
distance to Portland 1879 miles that way.

Let any one who has the care of horse
these cold, frosty mornings, deliberately
grasp in his hand piece of iron; indeed, let
him touch it to the tip end Of his tongue, and
then let him thrust the bit into the mouth OF
his horse if he has the heart to do 1t. The
horse is an animal or nervous organization.
His mouth is formed of delicate glands and
tissues. The temperature of the blood is the
same as in the human being, and, as in man,
the mouth is the warmest part Of the BODY.
Imagine, we repeat, the irritation that would
be caused the human, and consider :hat' II
not to the same degree, still the suffering OF
the poor animal was very great. And II Is
not momentary pain. Food is eaten Win
difficulty, and the irritation. repeated day az
ter day, causes loss Of Appetite and loss OF
strength. Many horse has become worth
less from no other cause than this.

FARM Work AT THE INSANE HosPITAL.-
Although the fields are already covered with
their winter mantle and but little outdoor
farm work can be done, yet Captain Lakin
and his corps of assistants still keep busy.
During the past summer greenhouse has
been erected south of the other conservatory
which is to be used principally for rose cul
ture. In the centre there is n large bed,
30xs fe ct, which is full of rose bushes of diff
ferent varieties. During the cold months
boxes of Towering and foliaceous plants will
be placed On the window shelves in the halls
ment which the unfortunate ones who are de-
prived of reason derive from this arrange
ment, is an ample compensation for the labor
and expense attendant upon flower raising
1t is spray of brightness in their sombre
lives-The windmill works to charm. The
sewerage, waste water from the laundry,
etc. finds its way through conduits- to
a huge vat beneath the frame. As the
ponderous wheel revolves. this liquid
mass, rich in fertilizing materials. is
pumped to different parts of the farm and al
lowed to course over the grass. The roots
absorb the generous food. Ii is believed that
this arrangement will effect an annual SAVING
in TIE purchase of fertilizers to the extent of
several hundred dollars. In addition to the
pecuniary benefits it will be a valuable oh
ject lesson to other farmers in the vicinity.
This liquid manure, which is now almost
wholly wasted. is impregnated with gases and
fluids especially adapted to the nourishment
of plants. If it can be saved and applied to
the regeneration of WORKOUT grass lands, it
will do much for the material prosperity of the
moth hay crop harvested on the irri gated
lands.
