A Wicked Forgery.

II Is stated that the liquor interest car
ried Atlanta. Ga. at the recent election,
by circulating among the colored men,
what purported to be a declaration by
Abraham Lincoln. in favor of dram shop

this base forgery led large majority Of
them 10 vote for the slavery of the "cup
OF devils" The sentiments of Lincoln on
the dram shop question were exactly op-
posite TO what was represented. In a let
ter to friend he wrote -

Paying for the Whistle.

There were some thoroughly astOnished
bows at Waldo the other night. according
to the BeifaSt Journal Orlando Sanborn,
who runs a steam mill in Waldo for wood
working purposes. recently bought large
whistle from steamship and placed it on
hi, mill The boys conceived the idea Of
stealing the whistle, and Mr.. Sanborn
hearing Of the plan remained in his mill all
night Sixty pounds of steam were kept
up. About midnight the boys climbed up
on the roof of the building. Just a one
applied rench to the whistle, Mr.. San
born opened the throttle vide and there
went up into the stiffness of the night
such a screech as was never before heard
in Waldo. People jumped from their beds
in alright and wondered what was up.
The boys tumbled off the roof as though
shot, and as they departed as rapidly as
their legs would carry them, Sanborn fired
a gun. The whistle is still here.

On Wednesday morning last, Mr.. Silas
Coolidge, life long resident of this town,
was found dead in bed, having passed
away quietly and peacefully. He retired
the evening previous in apparently good
health. His sudden death was no doubt due
to his great age, being upwards of eighty
six years old His funeral services were
held Friday afternoon at the church. Rev.
Mr. Cambridge Of Ellsworth, officiating.
The wife of Amos Hodgkius died last
Friday. She had been an invalid for some
time,
Mr. J. +. Coolidge, OF Waltham, Mass,
has been in town for a few days, having
been called here by the death Of his
father.
Ice boating on the river seems to be the
chief amusement around here just now.

Ensilage.

Ezra Meeker furnished u page his
tory of the cnsilage process of preserv-
ing green foot for cattle in the Post
MtelIigencer of late date. Most of
the matter is of general character,
and at the conclusion is given the re-
suits OF his experience last year, as
follows.
During the months of September
and October we ensilagcd 1870 tons Of
oats and corn in two wooden silos,
built substantially after the plan, as
outlined in this paper, e., with n
dead air space. These two silos cost
less than $50, not counting anything
for roofing, as these were built in the
barn. We used 9 X 10 studding, l6
inches apart, with tarred paper, 32
inches wide tackled on, inside and out,
on the studs, the sheets running per-
pendicularly. Rough boards, 12 inches
wide, were nailed horizontally upon the
outside. The inside was lined the
same way, with lumber dressed on one
side. The sills rested upon the ground
and the crop was stored upon the
ground, there being only light coat
ing OF sawdust laid down first. We
filed the silo leisurely. At one time
we were interrupted by rain, and five
days elapsed before resuming the work.
Our whole crop that was ensilaged was
put into the silo uncut, was not
tramped, only next to the walls, and
was weighted with earth, but only
lightly.
We began feeding in December to
seventy head of cattle, and are yet
(March 23) feeding to the milk cows,
forty-four in number, and have yet to
see the first animal refuse it. Our i'm
pressions are best stated by saying
that We shall build three more silos
this present season with capacity of
three hundred tons, and expect to fill
all five to their utmost capacity, using
the late meadow rowen and second
crop clover to refill after the first stor-
cd has ceased to settle
The stock fed upon this ensilage is
in the best condition ever seen upon
the farm, which is whole volume in
favor of ensilage
