Maine Bntter in Market;

At the recent meeting of the Maine Dairy
mems association at Phillips, Mr.. Albert
Pease read an essay, in which he detailed
some of the obstacles to dairying in Maine.
He said that Maine butter had acquired a
a bad reputation. Iu the Boston market
nice butter from Maine is sold as New York
butter, while poor butter from other states
is, Maine butter is not sufficiently uniform
in quality, color and package to meet the
wants Of Boston dealers.
The fact is also discovered that Maine
does not supply Maine with butter. How
this should be it may be hard to determine.
1t is quite sure that there is enough made
in Maine to supply the State, and why we
should be obliged to go to Boston, and be
subject to the caprices of that market is not
at first plain. 1t is probable that there are
many families and public houses, wanting
an excellent quality of butter, who make
contracts with particular diaries. and others
the general markets, and the cheap board
ing houses use oleomargarine OF send to
Boston for butter of poorer quality, than is
generally furnished by the diaries of our
State But it is quite certain that when
our butter dairying is so far improved that
we can furnish in large quantity butter of
superior quality, in neat, tasteful package S,
uniform in size, so that it may be counted
rather than weighed, we can sell at our
pleasure, notwithstanding much poor butter
and oleomargarine may be consumed. AS
ISOLATED cheese dairying with us has failed
The cause of this result is plain, though
present limits will not allow particular no.
tice of them. 1t is desirable that our dairy
ing operations instead of being diminished
should be largely Increased. An industry
that furnishes SO large an amount Of food,
and constitutes so great security against
possible scarcity must certainly pay for all
the efforts necessary to secure its prosperi-
ty.-Lewiston journal.

Grating Wax.

have used many kinds of grating wax,
during the several years of my experince
with apple trees. First I used a mixture
composed of two parts Of fresh COW manure,
one part of soft blue clay and one part of
fresh horse manure-throughly mixed and
applied to the union of scion and stock to
thickness of half an inch, binding on the
same with strips of old cotton or wooden
cloth. Subsequently used wax made of
four parts clean resin, one part of pure bees
wax, and one part tallow. But l soon
found there was something wrong with
this wax, and concluded the plan of mixing
animal and vegetable substances in making
the wax was not good one. For the last
fifteen years have made wax composed
of the following; clear resin six pounds;
pure beeswax one pound; linseed oil, one
pint. Melt this slowly, stirring well while
melting, and having it well stirred when
poured off. Pour into kettle of cold water
what can be easilyworked at once, and work
it as molasses candy is worked. Make it in
to rolls six inches long, and keep the rolls
in cold water, till they are wanted for use.
When grating if the weather is cold, keep
this wax in warm water if in warm weather
10 cold water. A little linseed oil put on
the hands keeps it from sticking to them.
1 have found the best results in grating to
follow the use of the clay and manure
method the next best where the last de-
scribed wax was used, and the poorest
where the wax in which tallow was part
of the ingredients, was used.-Corr. Home

The Ohio Election.

We are not surprised OF the result
of the Ohio election, because we ex-
pected it to go as it did; but when q
reliable Democratic county like old
Vinton elects Republican to the
Legislature, we confess we are amazed
and can't help thinking, Vinton too,
is fast falling into the list of Repub-
lican counties Of Ohio. There must
be something wrong with the De-
mocracy of Vinton when they per.
nit such calamity to befall their
comfy, and we can attribute it TO
nothing else than the bitter warfare
that was waged between the two
Democratic papers of Macarthur du.
ring the late campaign. If they had
given more attention TO the politics
of the county, and less to their petty
jealousies of one another, Mr.. Ward
would have been triumphantly elect
ed and the Democracy of Vinton
would have been spared the NORTH.
cation of defeat Two Democratic
papers in one county is not calcula-
tied to keep the party firmly cement
ed together, but is likely to cause di.
visions and splits, and defeats, for
each paper will have its friends and
supporters, and they will fall out
and quarrel over the most trivial
causes. We advise the Democracy
OF Vinton to consolidate the Democrat
and the Enquirer at once, and then
they need not fear the disgrace of
another defeat.

Van Matre takes water in his last

He locates his Shylocks out in Rob.

upon was general, and we treated it
as such. No application for the
right of way for a railroad has yet
been made OH the Ohio route and the
land owners along that route have
had no reason to eight the road."-
The only difficulties were along the
Kanawha route, and they were but
slight, and grew ont of changes in
location, and we had a right to con.
strue his article to apply to men
where rights of way were sought to
be obtained, 1t was not in our pow
er to read his thoughts, or to know
who, or what section he was alluding
to. We did not desire to do him in.
justice, but simply to defend our peo-
pie from the term "Shylock." We
don't believe now there is q man in
the county TO whom the term "Shy.
lock" could be applied in truth.

1t is not knowa where the rumors
first sprung from, that the Govern.

to secure at a greatly reduced price
all the perforated silver coin in the
country and then circulate them at
full value, or sell them to the Gov.

The special hardship in the case
grows out of the fact that perhaps
more than 80 per cent, of the dollars
and fractions are held by the people,
and the great loss will fall on them.
The country people who have taken
these coins at par now find them.

than 70 per cent. of their face value.
The aggregate loss to the people who
have these coins in possession will,
