Uniform Methods.

A writer in Practical Dairyman says
"Uniform conditions should at all times
govern the private dairy, or as nearly so
as is possible in our variable climate. This
can be accomplished by the judicious use
of ice in summer and artificial heat in win
ter, and thus uniform product can be OBJ
tanned. Keep your milk at a uniform
Temperature while Dreaming, the cream at
uniform temperature while ripening, and
also while churning, and use your Their
mometer constantly to be sure of this.
Salt evenly, working the butter as nearly
alike each time the churning is done as
you possibly can, and the result of your
labor will be most gratifying both to your
self and your customers, as you can always
duplicate your product. Nothing is so
disastrous to the private dairy as the adop-
ton of ha ohazard methods in conducting
it. If the customer receives one good
package of butter he never knows when
he will receive another and he looks for
some other brand and we lose his patron
age, and soon becoming discouraged we
abandon the enterprise, run it under the
great disadvantages and usually at a loss,
all for the lack of proper methods success
fully applied. Uniform conditions and uni
form product should be the motto Of
every private dairyman in this country, fol-
it is only by this method that success can
be attained"

\ fumor reaches The Telegraph from
HYDE Park. that the wooden mills of
Robert Bleakie have been "dedicatedN to
rest. Readers OF the Boston Herald are
almost as familiar with the name of Robert
Bleakie. as they are with the bold letters
al the top of the first page Boston Herald.
For several years it has been impossible
10 turn over the pages OF the Herald OF
any date without running across column
communication signed Robert Bleake,
purporting to show the advantages that
would come to labor and to capital through
the supremacy of the democratic party
and the adoption of the democratic tariff
policy. Cheap wool was Bleakie's text,
and had been writing for the Herald on
space. he would today have mortgage on
the Herald property. Bleakie demonstrate
ed to the satisfaction Of himself and the
Herald and Peleg McFarin of South Car
yer, at least 500 times, though etters
TO the editor of the Boston Herald, -
that, with cheap wool, the wooden manu-
turers would double the size OF their plants,
run day and night, and raise wages to a
point never dreamed of by the sons Of
toll in making wooden goods for 1.-THE
markets OF the world.
For several weeks wool has been the
lowest for 60 years. The reign of free
trade is here The markets of the world
are lust as large as they were before the
election of Grover and the acceptance by
the country of democratic tariff theories.
They have not contracted like the markets
of this country. The combination has
therefore turned up which should cause
Robert Bleakie to enlarge his plant,
increase the number of his employees and
also increase their wages, unless he has
been talking through the crown OF his hat,
for Bleakie says he is rich and has money
to burn and tight money need affect him
in no way, for he is to manufacture for
the markets of the world, which are not
affected by our troubles Having been
landed in the promised land OF democracy,
which he has been praying for, why does
70 Iert Bleakie close his mill with bang?
Nhy does he retreat TO a cave and
dedicate himself to rest?
There are two reason only, why Robert
Bleakie has shut down his mill indefinite
". instead of taking immediate advantage
of cheap wool to manufacture goods "tor
the markets of the world 1t is possible
that Bleake has shut down his mill, so
that he can devote his whole time to
writing letters to the Boston Herald to
tell it and its readers how delighted he is
with the change Or it may be that, see
ing the great Grover dedicated TO rest,
Mr.. Mugwump Beakie believes that, out
of respect to the executive, he should also
dedicate his mill to rest. and let the mar
kets of the world take care Of themselves

Grange Day.

Grange day Of the Chautauqua assembly
at Northport Aug 10th, called out big
attendance and was a grand success for
the first ever held on these grounds.
Hon. B. Walker Mckeen, secretary of
the State board Of agriculture, presided at
the meetings forenoon and afternoon
The first speaker OF the morning was (.
B. Howe Of Marlboro, Mass, master OF
the Massachusetts State Grange. The
subject of his lecture was Educational
Influences of the Grange 1t was good
practical lecture. He was followed by
Prof. Winslow, who delivered extern
poraneous remarks on the same subject.
The attendance was larger in the after
noon. The first speaker was Mrs. Geo.
r. Chase of Medfeld, Mass. Her sub
iect was "Farmers Wives and Daughters.
This was an admirable lecture from every
point of view The subject was treated
in clear, practical manner, but was also
replete with bright thought delightfully."- ex-
pressed. Mrs. Chase is farmers wife as
we'll as charming lecturer. She was fol-
lowed by her husband who spoke on

we're brief but pertinent. Prof. |. o.

During the meeting the music furnished
was of the best 1t was led by A. r,
Smiley clerk to Secretary Mckeen He
was assisted by singers from Fryeburg

the State. In the evening the Cecilian
Ladies' Quartet of Portland gave most
enjoyable concert which packed the audi
forum. 1t was one of the best ever given
by this famous quartet.
This being the first year of the Chautau.
ouan assembly at the Northport grounds,
the prospect for grange days at future as

For President, Col. Jcrrard'

The Maine Farmer, in the course of an
article on the subject of re-electing Col.
Jerrard as president of the State Agricul-
tura Society says that the report to the
effect that he would not allow his name to
be used as candidate is false. 1t is de-
sirable tina. efficient men should be candi-
dates and whoever may aspire TO Col en-
rard's position it is not derogatory to
them to point out the efficiency OF Col,
Jerrard The Maine Farmer says, having
stated its belief that the principal part OF
the members of the society will vote for
Col Jerrard and that he will accept, land
there is every reason why the society
should take this course. While under his
management nearly one-half of the indebt-
edness has been met, yet still its finances
are not such as to warrant any uncalled
for change in its most important officer.
President Jerrard has been tried and
proved, and has been found thoroughly
reliable business manager throughout.
Having extensive business interests OF his
own, he is in touch with all progressive
movements.
He is also popular with all classes I'M
der the trying experiences OF the TAR.
Courteous to all, cool, leye-headed, he
carries out the rules and regulations with
an even-handed justice satisfactory to all
whom he serves. The horse interest has
been satisfied with his administration for
the reason that he accords them their full
rights the other stock interests are equal
" well satisfied and for the same reason,
,,,b;1a tho naperal industries have never
had so strong support, or so active en-
couragement as they are receiving from
him. In fact he is just fhc al-r0Hnd man
that is wanted for the varied duties incum-
bent on the Office.

USE DANA'S SARSAPARlLLa, IT'S
THE KIND THAT CURES"

There is a way to teach children to be
prudent which will not teach them to be
mean. 1t is followed in few families,
though it should be in all. Each child
should receive an allowance weekly which
should be paid him regularly. Out Of tina,
he or she should be required to provide
certain necessities, the number of these to
be considered in the allowance, balance
being left for the urconsidered trihes
which are so important to children This
allowance should not be added to by the
smallest sum. 1t is good lesson to learn
early in life to keep ones expenditures
within ones income. No one will learn
this while more money is supplied to pro
vide for new wants, Out Of the regular
sum the child should be taught to save
enough for any present he may wish tc
give, and this teaches self-denial, foresight
and prudence, valuable possessions fol
any one.
