lT is noteworthy fact that moose,
caribou and deer are greatly increasing
in number in northern New England.
especially in Maine, where able men
are employed by the state to enforce
the laws made in their behalf Most
of the slaughter, it seems, is done by
hunters from over the line in Canada,
and these are being brought to justice.
M line reaps large haryests from the
influx of sportsmen from other parts of
the country, and finds it pays well TO
see that game and fish are properly
protected. The moose, by the way, is
the grande2t of all the deer tribe. The
caribou is identical with the reindeer of
Europe. Both of these, and the COM
mon deer, are being carefully protected.
We see it noted that recently a moose
was killed which is said to be the larg-
est ever seen in New England. The
taXidermist who has had the handling of
him says; The horns measure sixty
one inches spread, and are as even
balanced set of antlers as have ever
seen-and | have handled as many
moose as any man in Maine. The head
is beautiful black. The hide spread
fiat measures nine feet long by seven
feet wide. The animal weighed 800
pounds"

is an important matter for those who
use fertilizers to take good care of their
drills, for there are substances in the
fertilizers which cause the iron parts of
the drill to rust very badly. When the
drills are put away after using, all the
iron parts should be cleaned thoroughly,
then oil them well with coal oil. Keep
them in a dry, clean place and don't for

SOME time since we remarked, here,
that ex-senator Edmunds is good
enough democrat for us. BY this we
mean that he is an advocate of the peo.
plc's cause, as against the money
power. We note that the senator, in a
recent interview at Chicago, espresso
very decided opinions about the law
and the trusts. He says the Sherman
antitrust law was very carefully re.
vised by the best constitutional lawyers
of the senate, and is clearly constilu-
tional aud ought TO be made effective.
If the law were enforced, he is made to
say, it would break up The trusts; and
under its provisions every pound of
coal shipped beyond the borders of
Pennsylvania, by the Reading combina-
ton, for example, could be conis seated
But, as everybody knows, not single
case has been pressed to conclusion
by the federal officers under the anti.
trust law, and since it was passed the
combinations have become more nu-
merous, powerful and arrogant than
ever before. Now, we only want here
to say that if the democratic party
having full swing in the new admins
tratiOn, don't do any more in this line
than the republican party has done, ac-
cOrding TO the senator's own showing,
we shall probably have a new party that
will. As the great Abraham Lincoln
said, so shrewdly: You can fool some
of the people all of the time, and a part
of the people some of the time; but you
can't fool all of the people all of the
time" Before this century passes, the
American people are going to have jus
tice done them, as against all corporate
influences on this continent. The
spirit of liberty is not dead.

WE have been engaged in fruit
growing a coed many years, but we
confess to having overlooked a point
which is stated quite positively, in Gar
den and Forest, as follows: "a curious
fact in pear culture, and, indeed, in
f:uit culture generally, is that, if the
bulk of the crop is picked when ripen-
ing, and a portion of it--say fourth or
less--is left on the tree, the latter will
cease to ripen, and will remain on the
tree a full month longer. picked some

AS to farm insurance, a Western ex-
change has the following observations:
g In farm property there are some
risks much more desirable to take than
others. These are the very kinds that
the agents are most eager to obtain aud
to get large sums in when possible
But if the owner intends TO carry any
risk himself, why not select the pre-
ferred ones? In case of a FIRE, isn't the
movable furniture in house less likely
to be lost than the building? And if the
barn burns, are there not numerous
chances of escape for the siockp They
may be out in the yard, or in the pas
ture; or, if in the barn, there may be
chances of getting them out in time.
