The directors of the Bangor and Aroos-
took Railroad held another meeting Friday
afternoon. q, which time matters pert iinio &
to the road were thoroughly discussed
President Burleigh was empowered to
negotiate with Mr.. Wescott of Portland.
president Of the Northern Msine railway,
for the purchase Of the Wescott survey.
Mr.. Burleigh left Friday evening for Port
land, to meet Mr..Wescott and talk over
the matter. The business transacted
yesterday was of . routine nature.
A letter was received from Chief Engi-
neer Burpee. telling of the discovery Of a.
easy line in leaving Brownville.
The route they first tried vas found to
be imprscticable, but now level country
has been found for miles. The surveying
party is making good progress aud the
conditions Of the country are found to be
quite satisfactory It appears from PREF
emf indications that it will be q reasonably
easy road to build. Mr.. Burleigh ex-
presses himself as much pleased with the
advancement which has been promoting the
importan, enterprise. A Houlton man has
subscribed $4,000 and it is likely ihst he
will double that sum.
The projectors have reason to feel
pleased so far with the good work done.

One of the speakers at "a meeting OF
the Connecticut Board of Agriculture
said that when visiting the West during
the berry season, he went to the market
to look at the fruit and found that red
raspberries from Central Illinois were
selling at 80 per package. Pointing to
another lot. he asked, What do you
want for them Answer, "st,50. -
Surprised at this higher rate, he asked
let me see them No-Parker
Earle's name is or the top of those
boxes. and we do not want to open
them for any one" That name alone
was sufficient TO sell them at an
advanced price. Mr.. Earle had made
reputation by always furnishing the
best, with no sham interiors. A similar
case occurred with the owner of fine
pear orchard in Western New York. The
commission man in Philadelphia found
that the kegs Of pears were all good
through the packages-there were no
special selection for the exteriors, and
no scrubby ones inside. The conse
uucnce was that It was not necessary TO
open those kegs to purchasers in order
to obtain an advanced price, and many
OF them were sold while yet on the cars
long before arrival. There is a lesson in
this for all Maine orchardists and fruit
growers.

In the admirable speech Of Hon. Will
liam Mckinley, Jr. of Ohio, accepting
the Republican nomination as Governor
of that state, that gentleman spoke at
some length on the new tariff law and
the effect it had on farmers and the agri-
culture OF the country. True" said
Mr.. Mckinley, "the new law did advance
some duties. and it Is said they bear
heavily upon the farmers Of the country.
Let us see if the criticism is supported by
the facts" Mr.. Mckinley then said that
33k per cent of the advanced duties are
for the better protection OF the Ameri-
can farmer. Twenty eight in number
of the advanced duties are upon
wine and spirits, which VIII hardly
burden the farmer. Five o. the ad
vaneed duties are upon tobacco, anagri-
cultural product" Continuing, the
speaker said:
"Iu the framing of the law most care
full consideration was given to agricul.

try can be found in any previous tariff
legislation.

fhs Great Aroostook Potato Digger
In Aisbama.

The great Rigby Potato Digger, man
ufactured by Rigby Il Burleigh, Houl-
ton, is being used successfully way
down South" as our readers will see by
the extract from a letter given below.
This letter was written by Mr.. f. c
Frazier of Mobile, Alabama. to Hon, p.
P. Burleigh, one OF the proprietors OF
the Rigby Potato Digger, which is one
of the most successful and indispensable
farm implements ever invented. IL
would seem from Mr.. Frazier's letter
that the soil in Alabama is very adhe-
siye, and that farmers there are under
the necessity of keeping their farming
implements nicely polished and made
very smooth in order to have them work
well. The letter says:
MOBILE, Ala, May Is, 1891.
Hon. p. Z. Buridgh, Houitoa, Me-.
DEAR SIR: Yours Of the 9th instant is
at hand and thank you for the good
opinion you seem to form of me. Your
potato digger as already stated. After
polishing it was put to work in my
neighbours field and all of his potatoes
were dug without any more difficulty.
the digger working all right, although
the dirt would adhere to it little, but
was kept clean by rubbing the foot over
it at each,end of the rows. After had
dug all of his potatoes for neighbor No.
!, started for neighbor No. z. His soil
was very sandy. | took out my team
and hitched two Texas ponies to the
digger and started to work with good
result, everything being satisfactory.
Next was my own field, soil rath-
er stiff but dry. The digger
did good work only the soil
would stick more to it. but it was kept
clean at each end of the rows. | finished
up Wednesday, May l3, and sold the
digger to a farmer who was present at
the time of digging and saw it work.
The other digger sent to the foundry
10 have it polished before | put it to
work md think ii is also sold. think
1t will be too late to get out any more
diggers this season as it takes them a
month to a day to get here from day of
shipment. Yours very truly,
F. Z. FRAZIER.
Inc ABOVE letter adds one more good
testimonial to the value of this Maine
which is in use not only in
Maine, but in New Brunswick, Nova
Scotia, Manitoba, Canada, all through
New England, Pennsylvania, and in
some of the middle and southern states.
Everywhere it is meeting with the most
perfect success and the demand for the
digger is growing constantly.
