There is no season OF the year when
lambs and ewes will do better, il left TO
themselves. than through the month OF
June. The rich, juicy grasses are highly
reiished by the ewes and stimulate u
large flow of rich milk for the lambs
Under the stimulus Of this flow Of milk,
the eve is not likely to desert her Lamb (;
on the contrary she exhibits marked
affection for it and encourages il In

ton giving both pleasure and a
sense If relief to the eve IL 1t is
not eslred to fatten either the ewes or
the lambs for market, no extra feed Is
now required. But if 1t is desired to
have the ewes fat and ready for the
shambles by the time the lambs are
weaned, they should have substantial
dry feed. An equal mixture Of wheat
bran and oats ground together and an
equal weight OF oilmeal added to this
mixture Is recommended as q suitable
feed for fattening ewes at this time.
Give about one pound Of the mixture

pounds This should be fed in fiat
bottomed trough SO arranged that it can

and SO that none can get into the trough
with the feet. The aim should be to give
each one an equal chance and compel
every one to slowly take her meal and
properly masticate it. This she has to
do II the meal is spread evenly over a
fiat-bottomed trough and each has her
feed partitioned off by herself so as to
prevent her interfering with others or
others interfering with her. As soon as
the lambs begin TO lick the feed Of the
dams. they should have trough in a pen
by themselves, to which they can have
access through small openings arranged
for the purpose. In this way, like pigs,
they gradually get prepared for weaving,
as they will also have learned to nip the
tender grass, and may be permanently
SHIT away from the ewes, when the
proper time arrives, with little or no
disturbance to their onward growth and
enjoyment. In this way both ewes and
lambs are readily fattened for the mar
ket. The lambs, however. need only an
ounce or so of the meal each per day,
which may be gradually increased to
two ounces

Ssgadahoc Pomona Meets with Enter-

In spite Of threatening weather in the
early morning the patrons d 6agadahoc
county drove from all sections, some
nearly thirty miles, in order that they
might spend the day with Enterprise
Grange, Richmond. Out among the
farms, away from all business, this
branch Of the order is now located, and
those who attended came for that pur-
pose, and gave their entire time to the
work of the day. A tall flag staff had
been erected and at the head floated
the Stars and Stripes, and under
its folds we gathered. Worthy Master
IIosmer is always present, though
coming from Bodwell Grange. the ex.
treme southern portion of the county.
This Pomona Is we'll differed and an
interesting programme is always pre-

Sister f. NJ, EIathorn opened the literary
exercises with brief but comprehensive
paper on "IIOw to keep the bows and
girls on the farm" The discussion fol-
lowing was general and at some times
animated.
By vote of the grange the programme
was laid on the table and State
Lecturer Twitchell was invited to
instruct in the work. The hour
spent in this proved to be one Of the
most interesting of the day as every men,
Der present was called upon to perform
some portion of the work, or the whole
body was drilled together, questions
were freely put and the lessons of the
manual strongly urged. The dinner

superintendent Of Enterprise Grange,

found save on the table Of the patron.
The farmers report crops favorable; the
grass being heavy in all fields which
have been we'll treated; warm weather is
needed to bring forward hoed crops.
In the evening the lecturer visited and

at some length upon the possibilities OF

Mr.. =. Il. Maynard, Horticultural to
the Massachusetts, Experiment Station
records some interesting experiments
with fungicides and Insecticides on the
apple, pear and plum. Two series Of
experiments are OF interest to entOm0lO-
gists, as they combine fungicides and
insecticides in the came solution, namely,
ammoniacal carbonate Of copper with
paris green, and the Bordeaux mixture
with paris green. The first series OF
experiments resulted in a saving Of Al
per cent. OF apples from codling moth
injuries, while the f6ngicide results were
entirely unsatisfactory, although the
application Of ammoniacal carbonate Of
copper without the addition Of paris
green Is reported by other stations to
have given remarkable results. With
the combination OF Bordeaux mixture
with paris green no favorable results
were obtained, although as the applca-
tions were not begun until May 20, the
failure may have been due to this fact.
With regard to the fungicidcs, Mr.. May
nard noted that the amount Of scab was
larger in every case where they were
used than where they were not used
This result, however. he states, may
have been in part due to the damage by
the paris green, which was especially
noticeable where It was used at the rate
of one pound to 200 or 300 gallons OF the
LIQUID.

Professor Virgins, the Canadian
weather prophet, maintains that the
multiplicity Of telegraph aud telephone
wires produces drought. Starting with
the theory that thunderstorms are
caused by electricity isolated in cloud,
he holds that electric wires collapse and
disperse the electricity, thus destroying
the power Of the cloud to carry and pre-
cipitate moisture. In other words. the
wires exhaust the life-blood OF the
clouds and make 1t mere mass of dry
vapor. The prof, ssor sustains the
theory with very ingenious arguments,
