trotting of fast horses. The hauling of OK

knows how much the load weighed, but
the trotting time was measured to second

If the ground under trees is free from
stones, many fallen apples will receive nc
injury and prove fair keepers. The wind.
falls should be protected from soiling BY
contact with fresh cultivated earth by straw
spread under the trees. Winds ut this sea.
son often take of large portions of the ap.
pie crop, and a little care is needed to save
it. The fact that windfall apple need
not be injured is shown by the success OF
device for harvesting apples by shaking
them from the trees on q canvas spread
around the trunk, 80 as to carry the falling
fruit to form conical heap at its foot.

Skowheoap's DELAY,

We have recently heard several of our
prominent citizens speak OF the matter of
railroad between Skowhegan and Nor
ridgewock, regretting that something
was not being done, and EXPIRE ssing the
idea that Skowhegans delay in moving in
this matter was working much damage to
our town as business centre.
This is correct view of the situation
as we look at 1t and as the REPORTER ar
gued with tiresome relteration for some
months, while the project appeared to
have any vitality, but, about which, we
have of late had little to say. 1t seemed
TO US that the object of occupying space
In newspapers about the matter ceased
when the people conceded, with just ex-
ceptions enough TO prove the rule, that
1t would be desirable 10 have the road
and that II ought to have been built years
ago. Therefore we have for some months
refrained from making mention of the
matter in the columns of the REPORTER.
We should esteem 1t privilege to de-
vote reasonable amount of space to the
project with reasonable prospect of fay
orable result, but until that appears the
REPORTER prefers to "rest on arms"
We have the impression that the PEG
pie of Skowhegan expect to get tits
"lnk" put in without having to put any
money into It, We think this is delu-
sion, and the quicker our people DISPOSE
ess their minds of it the better it will be
for our town.
In order to secure the road certain
amount of money will have to be put in
as a starter, or the town will have to loan
Its credit to certain amount or put in
certain amount of cash. The prospect of
the road being built without the people of
Skowhegan or the town of Skowhegan
assisting is contrary to the way such
things are done these days.
The Somerset road is gradually work
Ing its way up river, and the business of
the towns of the upper Kennebec are
gradually, and it may be rapidly, seeking
other towns as market towns. We can
not avoid the mistake of the past by rea-
son Of which this road was not built
years ago, but we can avoid the error of
to-day and build the road. The business
that has already gone to other towns has
been lost to US for the time being, and
some Of 1t for all time, but II the "Linkr
Is put In within year, as it should be,
we shall regain much of it and hold much
that will 90 If we do not have the road.
Skowhegan has reached point where
she must shed her garments of childhood
and assume the hsbiliments of maturer
years. Otherwise she will suffer. She
must compete with other towns and must
have the facilities to do it, or she will
be outstripped In the race.

- ). wild Horses of Nevada.

Nevada horse raisers and ranchmen on the
Phoebe and White Pine ranges are complain
ing of the wild horses of that region. III the
.fheIlback mountain are bands of from $50 to
200 of these horses, each under the leadership
of powerful stations, and they make regular
raids on the ranches and run off the horses of
the ranchnen. A horse once gone is gone
forever, the Nevada men say, for the wild
horses are very cunning and wary, and will
not let a man get within rifle shot of them
The nuisance became so great that last spring
fifteen experienced horsemen and hunters
started out with the object of killing off as
many of the ''boss stations as possible. In
ten days hunt they managed to kill just
one horse. The wild horses of Nevada aver
age about 500 pounds weight, and when
caught are about the most ugly beast alive.
But if they can be thoroughly subdued and
broken, they make the most serviceable and
hardy horses imaginable.-New York Sun.
