American Foreign Chooses.

According to local tradition the earliest
maker of foreign cream cheeses in this re
gion was a Frenchman, whose first Gus.
TONERS were few fashionable restaurants.
He produced in small quantities almost
perfect limitations of French cheeses and
delivered them to his customers himself
The manufacture of these cheeses has now
so extended that many grocers make nc
effort to keep stock OF foreign cheeses,
and probably the larger portion Of the
cheese consumed, even in the French ia
bles d'hote, that established the fashion OF
cheese eating among ALI sorts of New
Workers, is of native manufacture. AS
yet, however, the conservatism of the com
mercal world seems to make it necessary
to stick to old names and foreign labels

The State college did a good thing at
the State Fair in advertising the institu-
ton. Their display OF mechanical work,
by students. was in conspicuous place,
and attracted mnch attention. 1t was in
charge OF President Fernald's son, Robert
H., a member OF the graduating class of
'o2 who was constantly on hand to give
information in regard to the institution
and distribute their illustrated announces
ments. They would, however, have done
a still better thing if they had also made
an exhibit of their farm and garden prod
ucts, stock, ETC., thus advertising the agr-
cultural facilities of the institution along
with the mechanical. This is the depart
ment that needs the most pushing. Ask
for more space gentlemen. next time. and
represent the institution in its full meas
ure. No better place to do this than at
State Fair.

Mother Instinct which makes L.
want to Help others.

The desire to do something for other peo-
pie is the loveliest and the most hard to
satisfy that inspires any OF us. 1t begins
almost with our life s.; the very babies show
it in innumerable little WAYS as soon as
they can toddle. and the last plant of
helpless old age is that there is nothing for
them to do for others; all must be done
for them. Women, except in ytrj ex-
ceptional cases, strain every nerve and
wear themselves to the bone doing for
others and feel utterly overcome and
positively uncomfortable when littl of
the same effort is made for them, and even
the most self-absorbed person living feels
sence of trnly well deserved self congrat-
ula,ion when she has don favor for some
one. 1t is true that the impulse often
portant and necessary to certain people,
but no matter what the motive when the
results are good.
1t is a great thing to know when to stop
doing and ask to be done for. tbs such a
graceful act to ask favor now and then,
and believe me, nothing makes woman
more unlovely than to arrogate to herself
all the power and wish to do for even those
she loves most. Way down in every body's
heart there is bit Of the mother or animal
instinct to do for others, and tt is the most
sweetening and mellowing thing in human
nature. 1t can only be developed by exer-
else, and the opportunity for exercising it
can be offered or presented by every one
Of us. And il we actively decline or pos
sively fail to encourage the offers of sympa-
they and help-help that comes to US every
day of our lives-we are as guilty as if we
had done or left undone something relating
to the physical well being. Oh, let accept
every bit of help that is offered us, no mat
ter how trifing, and accept it gracefully
and give thanks for it, and life will be over
so much sweeter and easier for us and ex-
erybody else.-M7g York Press.

Why Barnyard Fowls Lay.

1t often happens that flock of common
hens, belonging to some neighbor lays
more eggs than wel-bred flock that has
been carefully fed and provided for. The
fact is that in majority of cases the pure
bred flock has been too well treated. 1t is
mistake to suppase that common hens
that are In the barnyards have no advan-
tages. The waste grain, and the pickings
from the droppings Of cattle, as well as the
constant and vigorous work on the manure
heap, not only permit them to secure a
goodly supply Of food, but the compulsory
method demands exercise. If pure-bred
fowls were in the same circumstances they
would lay more eggs than common hens.
1t is the pampering of pure-bred heds that
caues them to fail when they should be
laying, and which also causes lack of fer
tility Of the eggs,

Apple Prices.

"How are apples going 10 sell this year
is the question met in every direction. as
we fall in with the fruit growers from time
TO time.
There is a good crop Of good apples in
this State this year. and very properly
growers would Ike to learn whether they
are going to get anything for them For
the Information of such, we have been able
to get hold OF facts, OF late through meet
ing with number of shippers OF apples

FIVE are glad 10 be able to say gives an en-
couraging outlook for the price OF the pres
ent crop.
1t is as good as certain that the crop in
the west and Southwest is complete fail
IRE. Eastern shippers and dealers are daily
and repeatedly receiving inquiries from
western and Southwestern points as to
where supplies OF apples in The East can be
Obtained in large quantities to meet the de-
mands of their trade. We are autbentleally
informed that those inquiries come from
the great shipping centres of Chicago and
St. Louis, As well As from minor points all
through that section OF the country. With
them comes the statement that fruit is a
failure in all that section.
1t is well known fact that for two years
past the section now looking for fruit tor
the past two years has grown full supply
for their own trade, and two years ago was
a large shipper to Eastern markets. In
view of the fac, that the crop OF Western
New York is short. and that the market
abroad is likely to call for full shipping
supply. it certainly gives an encouraging
outloo< for the price OF our Maine crop.
While we would not give the matter undue
color, yet it may be well to look out and
not get caught by accepting low offers
early in the season, but rather to wait, if
need be, till the condition of the crop is
known and values established. Certainly
the outlook at the present time is that the
crop of fruit of this year will sell for a
paying price.-.NaiNe Farmer.
