Maine State Fair.

In the extent and merit of the exhibition,
one of the most successful of the agricultural
fairs of New England this year was held at
Lewiston, Me. There were over 100 entries
of live stock, including about 300 horses,
One exhibitor covered table seven by 40 feet
with garden vegetables, and there were 1000
entries of fruit. 1t is estimated that the
grounds were visited by 10000 people dur
ing the four days of the fair. There were
$50 tents occupied by people camping on the
grounds. The receipts of the society were

plements, it is claimed, was greater than the
combined exhibits of the New England and
the Vermont and Connecticut state fairs

petroleum.
Turnips are not so good before as after a
frost, but very light frost is sufficient to i'm
part fine flavor. The growth, however, is
made during the moist weather that follows
the first light frosts.
Fall blowing is less commonly practiced as
the country grows older and the vegetable
matter in the soil becomes exhausted There
is no doubt that on. heavy soil fall blowing
helps the succeeding crop, but there is a sus-
picion among farmers that it is too much at
the expense of future fertility. The plowed
surface is both washed and blown away in
winter, and what is thus lost is often equal to
agood dressing of manure. Fall-plowed land,
unless underdrained, cannot be worked as ear
ly in the spring as that freshly turned.

let each end of this strap, thus adjusted, be
furnished with a ring, into which to buckle

A Virginia sheep breeder, who prefers
shropshire Downs, had ninety lambs from
sixty-seven ewes, and the previous year he
had l2l lambs from so ewes, raising ia of
the lambs. The secret of his success is that
he never allows a eve to breed before she "a
two years old, and he disposes of her when
she reaches the age of six years.
The poultry breeders of Hammonton N. j.,
have endeayored to settle the vexed question
as to which breed of poultry is the best for
general purposes. The Brahmas, Plymouth
Rocks, Wyandottes, Leghorns, Langshans
and Houdans were experimental with, not
only for egg production but for market pur-
poses. The Houdans and Wyandottes were
too late in the trial, but the verdict of the
majority of the breeders is in favor of the
Langshans, which grow to a large size, lay

If some of the New York papers are telling
the truth, the interests Of the farmers are
threatened in quite new way. There is said
to be man in Newark, N. j., who is manu-.
featuring eggs without the assistance of hen.
A reporter who visited his factory SAYS he
saw several strange looking wooden machines,
divided into compartments In the first and
second were the white and yolk in the third
the Skin, and in the fourth the shelter, with
drying trays. There were also three large
tanks containing the yolk mixture and the
white of egg. The proprietor explained that
the yolk mixture is composed of Indian meal.
corn-starch and several other ingredients
that the white" is chemically the same az
the real egg. After the egg is formed it is
frozen then by peculiar rotary motion of
the machine an oval shape is impaired to it,
when it passes into the next receptacle where
1t receives the thin, himy skin then it goes
into the shelter where it gets plaster of Par
Is shell. The proprietor states that one thous.
and of these machine made eggs were turned
out every hour; that he had large orders for
them from New York grocers, and that he sold
them for $l3 per thousand. One advantage
claimed for these bogus eggs over the real
ones, Is that they never spoil and will keep
for years while "they are perfectly harmless
and as wholesome as the real eggs" As fit.
ing sequel to this story, one S. Brown of
Greatneck, L. l., writes to New York paper
that he matches chickens from these artificial
eggs, real barnyard chickens, but uses cold
instead of heat" But those who keep hens
for profit need not be greatly alarmed by
these revelations. With eggs selling at 25
cents per dozen, their business is safe for the
present; and it is not certain that the accounts
OF the artificial egg business are altogether
reliable. -ETchange.

New Variety Of POtatOes..-PrOpagate



William w. Davis of Pine Valley, N. Y, in
a communication to the Elmira farmers club,
says;
81 wish to present to you a subject which
think will not only interest you, but all farm
ers. Last year while digging my potatoes,
which were of the Snowflake variety, l found
one which was red on one side and white on
the other kept it till last spring, when l
cut it in four pieces and planted them in four
different hills This fall l dug them. In
three hills 1 found red potatoes. The fourth
hill contained but one stalk. In that hill vas
one red potato; the rest were white. The
potatoes were good size, and the entire yield
weighed - pounds. They ripen about the
same as Snowflakes."
In commenting on the above the Husband
man says:
at is not unusual for single potato in a
hill of any variety to deviate in its general
characteristics from the established traits, as
in this case, where potato had red face and
white one, although the seed was pure white.
The tuber was doubtless a sport but it has,
as it appears, preserved the distinctive feat
ures in the product 1t may possibly be the
starting-po of new variety, differing from
the parent stock only in color. 1t is hoped
that the writer will continue his experiment,
noting results carefully, and that he will re-
port at the end of another season."

possible to secure a good crop even in the

There will be insect pests so long as fruit is

will be much greater but it will be found.
