The Campaign in Maine.
T Philadelphia Press.

The speaking campaign in Maine began
last SATURDAY evening. There will not be
many meetings held this week. hut next
week firing will he all along the line and
will he kept up until the end of the can
vass. The Maine Republicans are fortu-
nate in having number of able campaign
speakers in their own State, so they are not
dependent upon outside help. There are
no more effective stump orators in the
country than Senators Hale and Frye and
Representative Boutelle, Reed and Ding
ley. Election day occurs at late date this
year, September II being the time Maine
will use its new Australian ballot law for
the first time at this election and il should
be the purpose of the Republicans to see
that all their voters are well instructed in
its mysteries. Mistakes have occurred in
every state when this system of voting was
first introduced. but in so intelligent con
stituency as Maine has, the errors vii
probably by reduced to minimum.

Poultry and Agriculture.

There is no doubt that poultry occupies a
more important position on u farm than
many suppose The reason of its value is
that for the money invested there is nothing
about the farm that, with proper manage
ment, will return SO great profit. II is
the only department Of the farm that will
utilize what might be waste and give in
return for it the egg, representing cash at
all fines the Young. which are revenue
producers in three or five months the val
liable manure and the body of the hen.
which after laying many eggs and rearing
several hroods of chickens. will bring a
fair price.
II makes no difference whether the fowls
are housed IN painted and papered pre-
tentious looking house or if they be kept
in pig pen, as long AS the place is dry
fairly warm and they have good care. In
4 large fiocks 81 per hen Is good profit,
while small iiocks often pay 81 to 81 each.
although the care is not generally taken
. into consideration in such eases. What
ever the profit, if it he fair one. it will
/ be about 100 per cent on the investment.
I and this is more than double what any
other farm department will return. Tell
/ farmer that there is money in poultry and
F.. he replies There NAV be, but it takes a
I lot of know ledge and work to get it ont of
/ them II takes intelligence and trouble TO
manage any department, of the farm. and
I he who can invent a business by which it
I will bring him money while he sits down
7 and does nothing, will be the richest man
in the world.-The New England Home

The Price OF Feeds.

The New England Homestead of August
,th, has the following to say regarding a
most interesting subject to all fsrmers-ihe
price of feeds 'tMill feeds are now low as
compared with the prices of corn and oats,
and il in need of feed for winter use, it is
we'll 10 buy when cheap If convinced that
prices will be higher later on. but
the factors are so obscure
and the fluctuations so arbitrary that it is
difficult to form reasonable calculations
The demand for mill feeds is good and likely
to increase with the additional demand for
fall trade Pasturage is the principal com
petitor and this has heretofore been excel
lent. but is now likly to fall off in quality.
The price of feeds is also largely regu-
lated by the price of corn. and the pros
poet for the corn crop, while assuredly
smaller than last years, is an uncertain
principle to build on. Oats are supposed
to be light crop and are being harve sted
while the present price of oats is about a
medium. neither very high nor very low.
The high price of linsecd meal, which is
from 50 to 81 above the normal basis, is
occasioned by the foreign demand for oil
cake. If this foreign demand should
cease the price would decline without a
doubt The English hay crop is short
and unsatisfactory one.
Ii is n question whether the products of
the glucose companies will be any cheaper
than thew are now. The Chicago. the Pope
and the Buffalo companies are believed to
he sold ahead for one or more months.
1t is probable that these feeds may here
after rule higher than corn meal and
have a distinct market by themselves.

Successful Milk Setting.

Writing to the New York Tribune, Waldo
F. Brown says; Every year that we prac-
tice deep setting of milk we are more pleased
with it. We have just had a hot spell of
weather, lasting two weeks or more. mer-
curry ranging from So degrees to 81
degrees in the coolest shade and
our milk is perfectly sweet when
we skim il, twentv-four hours
after setting. We avoid all carving of
milk up and down stairs and handle il with
the least possible labor. The milk stands on
the platform of the well. which is 6xs feet,
has II roof over it, is protected from the sun
by vines on the west and is partly boarded
so as to keep the sun from shining on it, but
is open for the air to circulate through it.
Our tank is of hard wood, painted three
coats inside and out, and is #. wide. so
that our 3-gallon cans, which are . inches
wide, can he set in and out easily. Each
can is provided with a bail to lift it by, and
a handle at one side to tilt it to empty.
The lid is IN inch wider than the can, and
drops down inches over the side, and we
pump in cold water till it rises and ills the
space between the can and the lid this is
called water sealing and makes the milk air
tight The top of the iii is conical and
tNls w Il Uttk anu II -'ltN 'dH liz
cream is kept in the same kink of Il can in
the tank with the milk.
We have finch tile drain for the water
to run into from the tank, and it stands but
3 it. from the we'll which furnishes
an inexhaustible supply of cold wa
ter. When the mercury gets up
to bear 30 degrees we change the water three
times day, but if it is below so degrees
morning and night is sufficient. The labor
of caring for the milk is greatly reduced, as
there is no carrying mp and down stairs and
:}-gailon can is as quickly and easily
washed as gallon pan, and we get first
class butter Although practi-
callv outdoors. the milk is perfectly secure
from cats, insects and odors, and the dairy
house for the milk of dozen cows will not
cost so. If the supply of water is limited.
nv use of ice the water can he kept in the
tank several days but must not stand long
enough to become tainted.
