ASSOCIATED DAIRYINc.
A Subject Now Occupying the Atten-
ton of Hiram Farmers.


A Farmers Institute was held at the hall
of Mt. Cutler Grange, in Hiram, Thursday
last under the auspices Of the State Board Of
Agriculture. A very large number Of the
best farmers as well representatives from
Fryeburg,l Cornish, Denmark. Brownheld
and Sebago were present, in spite Of the fact
that the recent rain has softened the three
feet Of snow that covers our roads.
The primary object Of the meeting was TO
arouse greater interest in dairy farming
and. II possible, take steps that shall lead to
the establishing OF q creamary at this place.
1t is thought our town is well situated for
an enterprise. as farmers on both the Port
land & Ogdensburg, and the BridgtOn s.
SacO River roads could send cream TO the
proposed butter factory and cream collectors
could visit Denmark and Sebago as well as
all parts of Hiram.
Mr.. Al. Pike, member Of the board for Ok
ford county presided at the meetings. Mr..
Melville Gould welcomed the visitors In be-
half of the farmers and Mt Cutler Grange,
and after fitting response from the chair,
Mr.. l.. ii. Blossom OF Turner, was intro
duced. Without having prepared lecture
to deliver, Mr.. Blossom gave practical talk
on associated dairying and aroused quite an
enthusiasm on the subject. According 10
his request he was frequently interrupted by
questions. to all of which direct and salts
factory answers were given.
After a recess, during which all present sat
down to tables well loaded with food by the
lady members of the grange, the same sub
ject was resumed and the questions were
poured In afresh.
Later, Mr., Adams, member Of the board
for Sagadahoe, gave an instructive talk on
private dairying. Then followed free dis
eussion Of both subjects, Messrs Maken oi
Fryeburg, Bean Of Denmark, Almon Young
and A. X. 7. Googins Of Hiram, and several
others participating.
1t is hoped that the result Of the DAVIS
work VIII be butter factory ready 10 begin
operations tn she fall
A meeting was also held in the evening for
general discussion OF topics Of interest to
our farmers. Excellent vocal music was fur
nlShed during the day by choir Of mixed
voices.
Tue visiting members OF the board pro-
nounce this meeting one of the livelest and
most interesting held by them during the
winter.

A despatch was printed in this city and in

from Chauncey NJ, Depcw, stating that he is
not an aspirant for the Republican nomlna-
tion for President. 1t further states that the
letter will be sufficiently explicit TO check all
talk of Mr.. Depew as a candidate. Mr.. De-
pew was seen at his office in the Grand Gen.
trail station, and shown the despatch. After
glancing over it, the president of the New
York Central said emphatically. There is
not a word Of truth in it. This Is not the INST

denied that have any intention of writing
fuch a letter ten times The denial has been
printed eight times. and copied sixteen more
times, and here it crops up again. L notice
that the story, no matter where printed, en-
anates from Albany, and my impression Is
that it Is the work of one man. Really,
begin to admire his persistency. 1t Is ridicu-
lous to suppose / would write such letter.
In the first place no one has ever asked me
to become candidate for the nomination,

letter declining to become candidate, and
place myself in a position to have 60,C0O,OOO
people say to me, who in thunder asked

I'm the event of your being nominated
would you refuse to become the presidential
candidate of the Republican party?" Mr..
Depew was asked.

about that. As matter of fact, am en-
crossed with my business affairs and am not
