The Kennebec and the Delaware.

The State of Maine was introduced into the
Union in 1870, since which time it has grown to
be the leading ship building State for wooden
vessels. Why not for iron and steel vessels So
think some OF the leading men of the Pine Tree
State 1t is true, 'Mane" is not surcharged with
iron and coal like pennsylvania" but she is re
plete with enterprise and abounds with genius
qualities which of the greatest Importance III
shipbuilding. These win more than make up for
the difference in distance. When the coal or the
ore is board a vessel or car, the difference OF
few hundred miles of transport is not material.
"W here there is a will there is a way, The busi-
ness men of Bath are in earnest if we may judge
from the following, for which the Republican
Journal, of Belfast is responsible:
Here follows an account of the meetnsln Bath
in the interest of an iron shipyard
We hope these gentlemen will devise liberal
things, and make the capital stock Of their com
pany sufficiently large to enable them to apply
machinery to the hull as well as to the engines OF
vessels. The hand labor, which now amounts to
9J per cent. of the whole cost Of vessel, should
not and need not exceed - per cent. and this
without reducing the wages Of operatives. In this
matter We know whereof we write The idea of
working cold metal plates by hand should have
grown obsolete ere this 1t reminds us of the la
borer, who, when employed to assist in cantlng
logs, was given cant bar for the purpose. Not
knowing its use, he threw down the bar and took

F'arragut.

After life's long watch and ward
Sleep, great Sailor, while the bard
Chants your daring. When of late.
Tempest shook the Bark of State,
Fierce and deadly, throe on throe,
HOrrid with phosphor- glow,
And the mountains rearing gray
Smote her reeling on her way
Day and night whe stood a guard,
Steadfast ave for watch and ward
You, great Pilot, who were made
Quick and cautious, bold and staid
Like Decatur, Perry, Jones,
Mastering men with trumpet tones.
How you met your lands appeal
Knows New Orleans, knows Mobile
Slumber, free from watch or ward,
Dweller deep in grassy yard
OF still pillows. Keep your berth
Narrow in the quiet earth
As Of old the North star shines,
Heaven displays the ancient signs,
On the Ship drives, sure and slow,
Though the Captain sleeps below.
Only sleeps upon his sword
SlGmbcr earned by watch and ward:
For if timbers crack, and helm
Fail her, and sea o'erwhelm.
Then his spirit shall inform
Some new queller Of the storm,
Who shall bring, though stars are pale
The Bark in safety through the gale

VOLUME SO.
A Kennebec Farmer.

Among the most celebrated OF the fer
tile farms which lie up and down the Ken
nebec river, is the 'Broadacres farm" OF
Riverside, the property of Ira d. Sturgis,
Esq, of this city. 1t is like Il garden of
Eden in loveliness at this season of the
year. The farm contains some six hun
dred acres Of land, and has upon it build
ings and structures enough for quite
country village. The old river road from
Wateryille to Augusta cuts the farm in two
parts. The house is large, comfortable
two-story structure Of the past era, with
an ell and extension and a modern stable,
beneath which is a fine basement where
pigs are kept, Chester Whites. The ell
and extension also have a fine basement
where storage for wood, and boilers for
feed are found. There is fine cellar be-
meath the house with large storage ca
paclty. The barns are capaclOuS enough
to hold the generous crops which the rich
soil yields. The farm now cuts about l3O
tons OF hay. Three hundred sheep are
kept, of the grade Cotswold and grade
Southdown varieties. Seven horses are
kept on the farm. Fifteen head of cattle
have recently been killed CT sold and
there are now left for farm stock, twenty
five thoroughbred Shorthorns and eight
grades. The Shorthorns are mostly from
Mr.. Bodwell of Halowell and are very
good animals, showing fine points and
good breeding. Mr., Sturgis intends grad
ually extending his sheep until the farm,
now comprising six hundred acres Or
more, is stocked with all it may be able
to we'll carry on: that number is fixed at
one thousand. 1t will then be the most
extensive sheep ranch in Maine. There
is chance to winter shelter one thousand
sheep all provided. Mr. Sturgis has Il fine
residence in this city, on Grove street,
with grounds and stables. He is one Of the
best and most widely known business men
on the kennebcc, and has business scat
tered all along from its source to the sea.
LAUNDERING, ice and manufacturing, with
Broadacres farming for recreation, and
to minister to that inborn and inherent
taste for rural life innate in every man,
constitute his business. Mr.. SturglS is no
visionary farmer but plain, practical and
common sense one. His operations are
characterized 10y that utility, vim. and
nice calculation which he carries into all
his other business. The farm is under
the charge of his son, Horace X. Sturgis,
who lives on it, and manages it skilltully
and well. hennebec journal.

An inch Of rain weighs over 100 tons
per acre Of surface This fact will serve
to convey some idea Of the immense
amount of water which is absorbed by
the land yearly. Usually there are about
thirty inches of rain and melted snow per
year, which would be over 1000 tons per
acre. All this water contains ammonia,
which is one of the most valuable fertili-
zers to promote the growth of crops. 1t
is estimated that about nine to twelve
pounds of nitrogen in the form of am
monia and nitric acid. are contained in
the water which fails upon each acre Of
surface yearly. Thus is the land enrich
ed by rains and snow.

There was Joy on the farm when Ben, the Oldest
boy, came back from college in his sophomore
year, and the village was proud of him. ''Cheese
it, Gully" he said, when he met old friend, the
son of a neighbor who joined farms with his
father; "cheese it, Gully; shove us your hipper,
clench daddles pardy. How's his nibs, and what's
the new racket! ?" And his proud old father said

Culture of Cucumbers.

Any one who has 100 square feet OF soil
III farm or city yard exposed to the suns
rays may raise plenty of cucumbers for a
large family. have of late, on account OF
the dry season, raised cucumbers after this
fashion: Take line five feet long, tied to
a peg set in the ground then, with a peg
on the other end, make a circle ten feet in
diameter; this will be Il little less then 100
feet. Spade this up two feet deep; mix it
thoroughly with leaf manure, Well-rotted
wOodpile earth, OF thoroughly y-rotted sta
ble manure, elevating the center with 4
gradual decline to the border, about one
foot above the general level the clods well
broken and the surface well smoUthed.
Knock both heads out OF a flour or other
barrel, and set it OH the surface of the bed,
in the center Of the circle. Fill this barrel
with the richest stable manure. The bed
is now ready. On the outside Of the bar
rel, on three sides next to the sun, about
the time OF planting Indian corn. plant d
dozen cucumber seeds making three hills,
the north side being reserved for Il foot
path to the barrel. As soon as the plants
are secure against the striped bug or other
contingency and have about three leaves,
thin then to two OF three in d hill, being
six or nine in all. AS the plants need wa
ter pour a few bucketsful into the barrel
every day or two, and the vines are pre-
pared till frost for the most fruitful growth.
AS soon as they are ready to run, being
we'll weeded up to that time, place light
layer of brush over the whole bed, to guard
against chickens and dogs, and to form a
support for the vines and fruit. In cut
ting the fruit use care to avoid treading
on the vines and cut the stems with a
sharp knife. Those intending to be cut
for pickles should be cut with the stems
left on the cucumbers. have cut, by
count, t0lty-tWo cucumbers an inch or
two long for pickles in a single day. 1t
is best to cultivate and handle all tender
vines in the late evening 50 as to give a
whole night for recovery before the sun
scOrches them. Persons raising cucum-
bers this way once will never try the old
method again. While the striped bug at
tacks the cucumber most vigorously,
when planted in the old way, the manure
seems to be an entire preventive of their
presence, at least, have never seen one
on the vines raised this way Indiana

Occasionally, yes, very often, woman is more
than match for man. A farmer living in the
outskirts of New Haven was in hurry to get his
farm work along, and went out into the field with
his boys and hired man, entirely overlooking the
fact that the last stick of wood in the woodpile
had been burned to get the breakfast Raging
hungry the force came in at noon The good wife
had the table set with all the taste of which she
was Mistress and it really looked inviting, but
there was no dinner upon it. Sarah, where's the
dinner ?' inquired the farmer anxously. 81 don't
know whether it is done or not. There was no
wood for fire so hung it in the warmest place
| could find It's on the ladder at the south side
of the house The whole force was detailed at
chopping wood that afternoon.
