BROOKS. For the past two weeks the farmers
have been busy hoeing and repairing the roads.
one good feature of the road work is the of Hat
stones covering for crossWays. The expense
is but trile more than for wood. and once put
down they are safe and durable. The half rotten,
shaky, wooden coverings found on 50 many roads,
are source OF constant annoyance to Travellers
it is unsafe to trot horse over them. The potato
beetle has evidently come to stay, and more time
must be spent in entertaining him han can ne
vcniently spared at this busy season of the year
....A small number of farmers have begun
haying this week, but the most of them will not
strike in till next Monday 1t is fortunate that the
grass crop is backward as there is yet q good deal
of hoeng to be done. The rain of last week was
worth hundreds Of dollars to the farmers of Waldo
county, by increasing the quantity of hay, for, in
spite Of SO many favorable reports from many
sources, the Old fields were showing poorly as
rule. The crop is nearly two weeks later than last
year. however. and considerable growth may vet
be expected. j. w. Lang has purchased two full
blood bull calves, one Dutch and the other Jersey,

giving heavy horses the preference for breeding
purposes The mana for breeding trotters seems
to have died out in this vicinity. 1t is seldom that
the common farmer gets his money back even if he
chances to raise one. This business is better left
with those men who have money to lose, or who are
in position to profit by the course A good,
substantial, business horse is one that will sell for
what he costs every time; that will pull
