Talks with Farmers.

Among our business men there are few
more thoroughly interested in practical farm
ing. because they really love it, than Hon.
J. W. Patterson of this city He has quite
= hobby for farming, and late one afternoon
this hay season We met him riding down to
his farm in Chelsea where he had a crew Of
men at work having to look after them.
When it is remembered that Mr.. Patterson
is eighty years Of age. the wonder is that in
stead of being out and about looking after
his farming operations, he is not hauled up
at home over the rheumatism or some other
disease. But il 10 no doubt this activity and
out of door life which conduces to his good
health and interest in all affairs. This
Chelsea farm of Mr.. Patterson's is situated
on the Hallowell and Togus road and is all
in grass and oats. 1t comprises IS acres,
has two barns, and the buildings upon the
farm are being repaired and painted this
summer at an expense Of about $3.50. The
land is all good soil, and Mr.. Patterson has
. very large field of oats upon it. 1t also
good wood lot, which is . fue

prises more than a million feet of very choice
pine timber, and the growth on the land upon

"Harrisons year" 1910. This shows how
rapidly timber grows, what a valuable crop
pine trees are, and what profitable scheme
it would be for farmers to let much Of their
land-especially the rough side hill pastures
grow up to timber. Time is coming when

We do not hear great deal about the
honey product this season, and what reports
we get are somewhat conflicting. This may
be due to the difference in localities, for
although bees seek honey long distances it
is known that some places furnish better
foragng ground for them than others. Then
during the period of white clover bloom
which gives our best honey, the prevalence
of wet and cloudy weather prevented the
bees from working to their fullest capacity
We hear of one good report, however. from
Vassalboro bee-keeper, Mr.. Arthur Bllsh,
who has some fifteen colonies. He had up to
two weeAs ago extracted l75 pounds, aud had
beside some two hundred pounds of box
honey. Mr.. Blish has a quick market for
his honey in the city of Watervllle, and OBJ
tans a good price for it.
