We are authorized by advice received
from |. s. johnson and Co., Boston, to
say that they have for three years offered
poultry raisers, premiums payable in gold
coin, for the best result obtained from using
Sheridan's Powder to make hens lay. Their
object has been to Salty themselves beyond
the shadoy of a doubt, that the claim made
by them that Nothing on earth will make
hens lay like Sheridan's POwder"was positiv
ely true The hundreds of testimonials sent
them from people who have used the Powder
prove the statement; so that it seems folly
to again offer premiums; but so many per-
sons, especially women who kept few hens,
have made such good showing in former trials,
and been beaten BY some one else by a slight
fraction in average, that in justice they ought
to have another trial johnson and Co,
have devised plan this year, to overcome
that trouble in q measure. by offering twice
as much cash and six times as many Gold Coin
Premiums rs last year. The larger premium
is $50 90. 1t is well worth trying for. If
you miss that there are twenty three more
chances for some other premium. But sup
posing competitor did not get any premiums
they would still have the satisfaction of get
ting lot of eggs to sell at good round
price. The retail price for eggs in Boston and
New York last year re ached as as high as 80
to GO cents per dozen. 1t pays to use
Sheridan's Powder when eggs sell for ever
10 cents. One of competitors last year
wrote as follows: Il am well paid in eggs
without A premium, | will cheerfully recon-
mend Sheridan's Condition Powder to Poultry
raisers generally for egg production, and all
diseases of hens. | can now say confidently
that it will beat anything have ever tried
to make hens lay. l was surprised at the end
Of the eight weeks trial" He was evidently
sati,fied, and we'll he might have been; for
during eight weeks he got from 80 hens,
1920 eggs which al the average of prices
above would amount to S65.08.
Amy person can compete. johnson & Co. will
send full particulars free to anyone, whether
they they order Powder or not. For so cents in
stan ps, 1. s. Johnson & Co., 20 Custom
House Street, Boston, Mass, will send to
any z, o. address two 25 cent padks, five
for 81 90; or, for Sl.20, a 2t pound can of
Powder sent postpaid; six cans for $500,
express prepaid. Send for full particulars.

Log Cabin orandmothsrs.


An Indiana doctor has recently discovered
in common weed whose medicinal quail
ties have never before been suspected, .
valuable remedy for bowel disorders.
There il nothing particularly strange
about this fact
Nothing.
And yet the very simplicity Of the new
discovery would, with some, seem to throw
just doubt upon its power. To make it one
has only to pour hot water over the leaves of
the plant In ita preparation no vast chemi-
cal work. and appliances are required.
II it to be wondered Al sfnce such plainly
prepared remedies are accounted ~ of such
great merit in these days. that such wonder
full results attended our grandmothers. whose
teas and infusions Of roots and herbs and
balsams, have esrerted so great an influence
in the maintenance Of healrh and life?
Certainly not!
The greatest pieces of machinery strike
US most by their exceeding simplicity.
The secret of the success Of grandmother's
remedies was their freshness and simplicity
Every autumn found the Little Log Cabin
abundantly supplied with fresh leaves, roots,
herbs and balsalns, which we're carefully
dried and prepared and laid away for use.
Dreading to call doctor because of the ex-
pensiveness of his far made trips, they i'm
mediately gave attention to the disease and
rooted il before ii had gained foothold.
The old Log Cabin grandmother, in cap
ard high tucked gown, and perchance be-
specialized in rough silver. her weary feet
encased in "hum made slips, is the dear
sweet nurse who rises to the view of many q
man and woman to-day as the early years of
life pass in retrospect.
The secrets Of grandmother's medicines
were rapidly being forgotten and the world
was not growing in the grace of good health.
To restore the lost art of log cabin healing
has been for years the desire of we'll knswn
in whose ancestral line were
eight "goodly hysieians" of the old style,
men who never saw q medical college save in
woods, nor medical diploma" except that
inscribed on the faces of healthy and long
lived patients. Much time and money was
expended in securing the old formula, which
to-day are put forth as Log Cabin remedies"
-sarsaparilla, hops and bucha, cough and
and several others, by Warner.
W hose name is famous and a standard for
medical excellence all over the globe. These
oldest, newest and best preparations have
been recognized az of such superexcellence
that to-day they can be found with all lead
ing dealers.
When Col. Ethan Allan was making his
tory along our northern frontier during the
evolution, Col. Seth Warner the fighting
Sherden of that army, who was skillful
natural doctor, used many such remedies,
notable like the Log Cabin extract, sarsapa-
rilla and cough and consumption remedy,
among the soldiers with famous success.
They are a noble inheritance which we of
.o-day may enjoy to the full as did our
and using, reap, as did they,
he harvest of life full of days and full of
usefulness.

Mr.. r. B. Capen, c. E., has surveyed the
route of the proposed new road from the
city to the insane hospital across the arsenal
grounds. The street will follow that which
ends at the arsenal about half way across
the grounds, then swerving to the left con-
anue direct to the hospital entrance, the as
cent being gradual. The lawn in front Of
the Maine entrance to the hospital is l40
feet higher than the east end of kennebec
bridge, and by the new way no unnecessary
ground will be passed over. By the road
now travelled point of land is reached $50
feet above the end of the bridge. Mr..
Capen forwarded his plans to Washington.
~nere they were accepted.

The Track Building rever

1t win in no ways, we trust, tend to dis
courage the interest in horse breeding and
Improvement, II we give . word of caution
to those localities which are now eager for
die construction Of trotting tracks Freeport
and Richmond are among those which the
local papers announce as already moving in
the matter of building tracks for trotting
purposes. If these towns or any other, or
indeed if any private persons wish to con-
struct tracks for trials Of speed, they surely
have the right to do so; and We have only
the best good Of the trotting business and
horse breeding interests in mind, when We
caution such localities to 60 slow in expen-
ditures for building tracks. The interest in
breeding speed horses is now at high pitch
In Maine, and the business is q legitimate
one. This interest was also carried to
q great point some fifteen or eighteen years
ago, and as . result numerous tracks were
built in Maine, which in few years went
into disuse and the money they cost, which
was not an uncomfortable sum, was the same
as lost. Two Of these abandoned tracks
now grass-grovn, are located in this town;
and there are about twenty others in differ
ent parts of the State in the same
condition, the result Of the "horse fever" of
ls6s-ls70. Tracks cost heavily, and today
a far better and more costly track is demand
ed than was regarded = good one twenty
years ago. A track was built in this county
last fall which cost fully FIVE hundred dol
lars; is in section which can never COM
mand large fairs or patronage, and will. we
predict, be unused Eve years hence. For
unless kept up, which must be done at con-
siderable expense, tracks run down and de-
preeiate almost as fast a. do buildings that |
are not re -shingled or re-painted. The loca-
tons above named are well accommodated |
by tracks at Topsham and Portland, which |
are from ten to twenty miles distant, and it |
seems TO us that new tracks in the same To-
calities are needless. To multiply them is
surely to commence movement which will |
end in disappointment to many, in loss to |
and in a general setback to the |
best trotting and horse breeding interests of |
the State. We believe our advice 10 good |
and sound go slow, gentlemen, in putting |
out any more money in new trotting tracks
in Maine. We have enough already if they |
are well kept up and well patronized, as they
surely will be if honestly managed.
