MAINE FARMING NOTES.

George II. Pike, proprietor of Highland
Avenue Corn Packing establishment, west
Gardiner, has about Is acres of sweet corn
planted and that. with what the neighboring
farmers have planted, brings the amount
M to u acres. which will probably make
80 900 cans of carn. sir. Pope makes his
avn cans and now has I 900 made. lie
has now been packing corn for three sea-
sons AMI, although he does not 20 into II
quite as extensively as larger factories, he
puts ry a superior article, which finds a
ready sale. lie employs none but the best
of h Up.
IL is noted among the dealers that there
bns been A great decrease in the sale of
moving machine repairs of late years, and
for this two causes are assigned. The most
imuortant one, perhaps, is that the farms
ar, being made smoother, as the decrease
of repairs is steady year by year. The
other canse is that the price of new machines
has decreased 80 per cent in the last ten or
twelve years, while the price of parts for
repairs is kept up to the old figaro. This
causes many farmers to throw away their
old machipes and buy new, rather than
stand the repairs. But whichever way it
is, it is obvious that Maiue farmers are get
ting decided benefit from it.

gagged in strawberry culture. informs us

Forest Trees In Gardens.

According to DR.. Chapman, the prac'
tice of allowing forest trees to grow in
our gardens "only prejudices the health
of our families" The so called purity
ing power Of vegetation is fallacy. II
carbonic acid gas is absorbed by trees
in the daytime it is exhaled during the
night. Dense foliage prevents a free
current Of air, excludes the sunlight,
canses damp and so on, and maladies
without number are the result. Dr..
Cbapman's warning seems hardly neces-
saiy, in onr large cities at least. Lon
