Friday night the temperature dropped to
point considerably below freezing and the
river on Saturday morning was SKINNED
over with thin coat of ice for the first
time this fall. The Kennehec arrived at
ii o'clock in the forenoon little late on &C.
count of the tide the ice proving no OBJ
s.ruction to her powerful wheels. The Della
Collins, however, was not so fortunate and
after attempting to pass up river, returned
to her dock here. being unable 10 break up
the ice. The Kennebec was placed in
readiness for an immediate return should
the cold increase, but otherwise she will
remain here for her regular trip today,
which will probably be the last one for the
season, to this port at least. It 10 believed
that this freeze is not permanent one. but
that the river will hold open several weeks
longer. There are two vessels at Hal
lowell to sail and several others at points
below the bridge. The ice Is now only
e-fourths of an inch thick spd is rapidly
breaking up with the tides.

The Connecticut Farmer is urging the
enactment of more rigorous legislation
by the next assembly to protect sheep
from the ravages of dogs. The Farmer
is engaged in good cause. The sheep
industry, once a large and profitable
feature Of Connecticut agriculture. has
been destroyed through the ravages of
dogs. The same Is true in Ohio, Wis
consin, Michigan and to large extent
in our own State. Farmers should
demand of our Legislature this winter
better protection of floeks from the raw
ages Of predatory dogs. The demand is
a reasonable one. and one which should
be met in reasonable spirit by our
legislators.

The population of the country is
beginning to increase more rapidly than
the production of agricultural products
increase. This means that we shall
before many years have but little to sell
abroad if in the meantime our farmers
do not increase their productiveness per
acre.
The construction of the beet sugar
factory at Norfolk. Nebraska has COM
meneed. 1t will cost $50, 900, and next
season will call for the planting Of 49,
900 acres Of land in beets, which are to
be taken at the factory at three dollars a
ton. In Maine ten years ago, when the
experiment of making beet sugar was
tried, the farmers were paid five dollars
per ton for unwashed beets delivered at
the cars, or six dollars delivered at the
factory.
