MAINE FARMING NOTES.

Hon. Daniel A. Wadlin of NorthpOrt
will make an exhibit of butter from his
celebrated dairy at the Worlds Columbian
Exposition. Mr.. Wadlin keeps twenty
eight head of Jersey COWS and heifers, and
manufactures 100 pounds of butter week.
His experience at the State Fair where he
has been expert on dairy exhibits will be OF
ser vice to him in selecting his exhibit fol
the Columbian exposition. Ii will be al
exhibition to be proud of for Waldo county
Present indications would seem 10 war
rant the belief that the potato crop in this
vicinity will be far below the average; not
withstanding there has been abundant rains
the tubers have not bottomed well and large
handsome stalks, when tested only show
about one-hah of the average yield, ii
point of numbers. With favorable condi
tons it is estimated that not one-half Il
two-thirds of an average crop can be har
vested. Other sections in New England
report heavy droughts with very short pc
tato crops and we may reasonably expect a
least remunerative prices for our surplus
potato crop this season .---AroostoOk Times

of these changes by heredity produced
