Bangor Commercial of grave charges against
the officers and attendants Of the Maine In
sane Hospital, the trustees and superintend-
ent earnestly requested that commission be
appointed to thoroughly investigate the mat

considered at the meeting of the Executive

authority exists to appoint such a commits

founded in fact.

PRESERVING Hi6as-

If the hides are not freshly taken
of, soak them in water with lit
tie salt until they are as soft as
green. Then scrape the flesh off
with a smooth, round edge, and
with sheep-skins the wool should
be washed clean with soft soap and
water, and the suds thoroughly
rinsed out. For each skin take
four ounces of alum and one-half
ounce of borax. Dissolve these in
one quart of hot water, and when
cool enough to bear the hand, stir
in sufficient rye meal to make a
thick paste with half an ounce
Spanish whiting. This paste is to
be thoroughly spread over every
part of the flesh side of the skin,
which should be folded together
lengthwise wool side out and left
for two weeks in an airy place.
Then remove the paste, wash and
dry the skin, when not quite dry it
must be worked and pulled and
scraped with a knife made for the
purpose, shaped like a chopping
knife, or with a piece of hard wood
made with a sharp edge. The mole
the skin is worked and scraped, as
it dries, the more pliable will be-

A Pennsylvania farmer says;
Nov my pet sheep is a grade Me
rinO. One that will weigh so to
100 pounds will shear from five to
seven pounds of the highest priced
wool, and continue to shear the
same amount until nine or ten
years of age. From such a sheep l
will get as good lamb as from a
Southdown. With the wool at for
ty cents l will outs.rip the South
down grower at least 81 per head
upon that item; will keep more in
number on the same territory,
have harder sheep, and a grade l
may keep in any number of without
fear of disease. But to return to
sheep culture of any grade, will
surely be a sign of prosperity to any
farmer who engages therein. Let
us hope the time is not far distant
when our people generally will con-
slider the sheep of more value to
the community than the dog, and
may the time soon come when our
smooth valleys, steep hills and
rough farms may be dotted all
over with the innocent, profitable
sheen

Farm and Home.
The Fruit Supply.

Farmers Review In all the
principal markets of the nothern
states there has been an under sup
ply of homegrown fruit this season.
Last year it was better, but for
three or four years it has been evil
dent that the demand was increas-
ing faster than the supply. With
fourishing state of horticulture
throughout the country, why is it
there should be so steady an in
crease in the price of the products?
In the. first place, the population in
cities and large villages has been
rapidly increasing, causing a pro
portionately increased consumption
of fruit. Then the principles of diet
and hygiene that have for many
years been disseminated among the
people through the press have been
accepted as true, and practically APP
piled, until every one codsiders as a
necessity certain amount of fruit
Again, new methods Of preserving,
such as canning, bottling and dry
ing, have been learned, so that i'm
mense quantities are used for this
purpose, keeping supply all
through the year, and foreign
markets consume increasing quan-
titles.
Even if this immense increased
demand could have been properly
appreciated considerable time must
! elapse before it could be met by
fruits like the apple and the pear.
The cherry and the plum and the
peach that give returns quicker
would respond more alertly, but
these fruits can be raised to advan
tage only in particular sections,
and probably only a few of those
persons who may be favorably
situated to raise these crops will
avail themselves of the opportuni-
ty, since their attention is direc-
ted to some other branch of indus
try. The small fruits, strawberries,
etc, will turn sooner, but for the
reason probably that they are most
yailable for canning the proper
tionate supply of them diminishes
apparently more than that of the
large fruits. 1t is then quite clear
that it is safe for those having suit
able soils in favorable localities to
plant fruit trees. With proppr at
tention they will be sure in time to
yield handsome returns. Again,
we could afford to give our orchards
and fruit grounds more attention
than has been the custom. They
should have the best care, with the
expectation of receiving ample pay
ment for it in return. More of
the small fruits can be cultivated,
and ready market will be found
for all the producers.

A Kansas correspondent of the
Breeders's Gazette gives the follow
ing on the subject of artichokes
''Plow the ground very early in
spring; cut the tubers to one eye in
each piece; plant three and a halt
by one and half feet apart, and
cultivate the same as early potatoes
the richer the ground the better
They will yield from 600 to 1000
bushels per acre in rich soil with
good cultivation. The tops can be
gathered and cured same as corn
fodder. Stock will eat them as
readily as hay or corn fodder
Should you wish to clean your
ground of them let them grow twelve
or fifteen inches in the spring, then
let your stock on them; they are as
easily destroyed as potatoes. After
the tubers grow, if the tops are eaten
off it will Kill them. Cattle, horses,
hogs, sheep, and all stock eat them
greedily.. The Jerusalem is the
best kind; on rich soil the stalks
will grow from six to twelve feet
high, branching out with from
twenty to fifty blossoms.

The Horses Friend.

Even a horse may find it advan
tageous to have ''friend at court. u
A market gardener noticed that 8
basket in which was placed fresh
carrots was frequently emptied
He asked the gardener, who said
that he could not understand it
but would watch for the thief.
A quarter of an hour elapsed
when the dog was seen to go to the
basket, take out 4 carrot, and carry
it to the stable.
Dogs do not eat raw carrots, Sc
further inquiry was necessary.
The observers now found that
the dog had business with a horse
his night companion. With
wagging tail he offered the latter
fcuit of his larceny, and the horse
made no difficulty about accepting
1t. The scene was repeated until
the carrots where ali gone. The
dog had long made a favorite OF
this particular horse. There were
two two horses in the stable; but
the other received no notice, much
less carrots.

Does the Queen Lead the Swarm?

Does the Queen Lead the Swarm
| There is an impression prevailing
among the uninitiated that the
queen of s hive leads off the swarm,
but this is by no means the case
with first issues, for as a rule. the
queen does not come from the hive
until the greater part of the bees
are on the wing. Another CHROME
Gus idea in existence is that the
queen bee is the first to alight upon
a branch or bush, and the bees
congregate about her, but the re-
verse is a fact. When 4 swarm be
gins to issue, if the bee keeper will
stand on the shady side of the
hive and watch the stream of bees
which pour like an army through
gateway, he may see the queen come
out, and if inclined to prove our
assertions he may capture and cage
her, and put her in his pocket, while
he watches the proceeding of the
bees. When the throng is circling
in the air he may imagine that the
bees are searching for her, and will.
perhaps, conclude that if they cannot
find her they will return at once to
the hive; but no, they will congre-
gate near convenient tree or bush,
and make a great noise sufficient to
attract the attention of her majesty |
if she were abroad, and then they |
will alight and form cluster and |
wait for some minutes, to give her
an opportunity ofjoining them. If
now she be taken to them, she will |
Join the mass and all will be we'll; if |
not, the bees, after a short time,
