So far as bas come under our
notice, the well known general aban-
donment of hill farms in New Eng
land is almost universally bewailed.
Though a sentiment of slight melan-
choly must usually attach to an
abandoned homestead, we take a
brighter view of the conditions, since
these are to the advantage of the
country at large. Abandoned hill
farms especially will be allowed to
grow up forests, and these afford
their chiefest advantage to climate
when they exist in elevated situa-
tiOnS.
In such positions they not only
serve to prevent evaporation of the
moisture stored in the soil from rain
falls, but are more influential as rain
producers than in equal extent on
low lands. In such elevated position
they are generally regarded as pre-
ventives of lightning, as they serve
to quietly equalize the electrical con
ditions of the atmosphere and earth,
especially in the seasons of thunder
storms.
The abandonment of these hill
farms is the states opportunity, since
they may be purchased at low
figure, rescued from the greed of the
dealer in cord wood and preserved
forever to please the eye and to i'm
prove the climate of the country

THE CANADA THlSTLES.
County Road Supervisors Are Re-
quired to Destroy Them.

Constant complaints have been
made for years past of the prevalence
OF the Canada thistle, not only in
Portland, but in many portions OF
the county. In the northern part
of Portland, especially. are these
thistles growing and spreading with
great rapidity. So far as known,
no efforts are being made to exter-
inmate this detestable pest, and in a
few more years, it looks as if the
national emblem of Scotland would
completely overrun the county.
IT SHOULD BE HEEDED.
The law requires the road super
visors to keep the Canada thistle
killed out of the public roads within
their respective road districts, and
requires the road supervisors TO mott.
fly the county court whenever any
such weed is growing upon private
lands within his road district. The
county court must then appoint q
commissioned, who will notify the
landowner to destroy the weed
upon his premises, and II ne fails
the commissioner may enter upon
the premises and destroy it himself
and render his bill for the same to
the county court, which will be
paid out uf the county funds and
charged up the same as taxes against
the land owner on whose premises
the tbistles were eXterminated.
If any road supervisor neglects
this duty he is deemed guilty of q
misdemeanor, and is fined not less
than $50 nor more 500 for each
Dffense.
The law makes it the duty OF
every municipal corporation to seeE
the weed killed and eXterminateC
within the city limits, aud If 1T fails
the corporation will forfeit to thu
state not less than $50 nor more than
$500 for such offense.
1t is made the duty of the dis
trict attorney to prosecute all suit
against said municipal corporations
and he ls entitled to a fee of $25 TO
every Judgment he recovers.--Port
land Evening Telegram.
