Little Ships in the Old Times.

In these days of monster ships, people, hen
they read OF those of the early mariners of this
coast, wonder how the old-timers ever dared 90
to sea in their little tubs or how, with their
numerous crews and small carrying capacity.
they ever managed to make living. disasters
out of the question.
Now we think nothing of a 1000 ton ship and
not much comment is excited by the 200 ton

Penobscot Bay. This big craft will be 265 feet

Subsoil.

Some farmers are of the opinion that
the more the lower portion of clay soil
is brought to the surface, the greater the
value to be derived from the land. This
opinion is formed, we think, from a mis-
taken conception of the theory adYocat-
ed regarding working up clay soil, for no
benefit can be derived from bringing q
heavy layer OF stiff clay to the surface.
There is, however, no question as TO the
practicabilIty of working soil deep, pro
viding the lower portion after loosening
is allowed to remain below.
Every tiller Of the soil knows that veg
citation grows best in natural surface
earth, which is made up of decayed veg
etable matter Roots OF plants rejoice in
a deep soil, but send out their feeding
rootets near the surface, and absorb both
from earth and air sustaining clements.
No clay soil from underneath the surface
vegetable mold will feed vegetation to
any profitable extent until it has been
for considerable time exposed to atmos-
pheric influences.
In blowing, subsoiler should be used
to loosen the hard-pan or else to gradu-
ally bring up the heavy clay Ivy sinking
the pow a little deeper each year. M
other profitable way is To give two pl0W
ings, -irst bring rb- cltl to the surface
and then throw ing il hack again, and
better still will it ta. If after the first
plowing the land lies exposed to the at

soraping Fruit Trees.

Many farmers have been misdirected
as to The matter ct scraping fruit trees in
the spJing. II is believed by some that
q thorough rasping of the bark, until the
outer coat is all taken off, and the surface
OF the sap-bark well scaritied benefits a
tree. but no greater mistake can exist.
Whatever damage is done to the growing
bark has to be repaired at the expense of
the trees vitality. The only possible good
that comes from it, is the destruction of
certain . rasites lodged beneath the
bark scales.
The outer surface of the tree is hard
ened by exposure to sun, wind and storm,
and tins surface is demanded by nature
as a protection 10 the more tender sub
stance beneath, and should not be scrap
ed away y any steel instrument. We
have seen men IN young orchards with
corncutters, hoes, etc, raking the trees
up and down in a merciless manner with
the deluded idea Of improving the or
chard.
Another detrimental practice has been
the application of soft soap to tender
trees, or to Older trees after the scarify-
ing process has been thoroughly carried
out. Many an orchard has been damag-
ed in this manner, not from the use of a
bad material, but from using that mater
ial too strong. Soap suds, as it comes
from the Mondays wash, applied with a
scrub broom will do tree good by dis
lodging vermin, and the solution soaking
into the earth about the roots stimulates
growth. Our advice is to use no mateli-
al on the bark of the tree that is harsh
er than broom or suds

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TWO BARKs.
An Italian bark and an American bark lay
alongside each other at High Head dock last
sunday. The foreigner had awkward lines, old
fashioned rigging and tackle, untidy decks and
an outandsh looking crew, while the mizzen
gait was up, the mzzen topmast stayed sharply
forward and the royal yards were down, giving
the whole ship a peculiar appearance. The
Italian ensign futtered at the mzzen peak.
The Americans model was graceful, yet her
strength was apparent at every point; her
decks were clean. her wire standing-rigging
looked neat and all the running gear was in
shipshape order The fore royal was down.
but everything else aloft looked trim, and the
stars and stripes made up the picture. A sailor
sat on the wharf and eyed the two craft atten-
lively for some time. Then, to free his mind.
he exclaimed to group of toWnsmen who
stood by, "Just look at the difference in them
two barks" The party gaZed for some time
and then one of them remarked that he couldn't
any difference. "Whatu shouted the tar
mo difference! Well, man as couldn't see no
difference in them barks, couldn't tell the odds
between cow and Il trottng horse.' Indus

THE WICKED SEAL.
Lucius Fl. Duncan, Esq, member Of the last
legislature, who fought against the protection
of seals in Casco bay on the ground that they
were ''sea-wolves" and destructive to fishing
interests, made a call at the Camden Herald Of
flee last week. He wanted the editor to step
out to his wagon. Seeing several salmon, ST.
monton's first thought was of free, luxurious
editorial dinner, but he was destined 10 disap
pontment and learned that Duncan wanted
him, as the Senator who made the eloquent
speech in favor of the ''mild-eyed" seal, to look
at large salmon whose head had been bitten
OF by a seal.
