Mr.. Barden objected to the indefinite
order for Pleasant street and raised the
question as TO which side of the street

Mr.. Durfee stated that it would take in
any unconcreted section on which notices

Camp streets.
Thereupon Mr.. Barden moved to amend
the resolution by the addition OF the
words the north side OF Pleasant street,
but the amendment was overruled and the
resolution was adopted.

A fair average crop of canned sweet
corn for Maine would be about 600, 900
cases. although it has fallen considerably
short OF this some ears and exceeded it
in others. Considering that the acreage
planted last year was decreased at least
one fourth, probably much more, and
that many Of the smaller packers had,
temporarily at least, gone out of the
business, it was thought month ago
that the product would be about 375,-
900 to 4oo, 900 cases, but the yield per
acre was enormous, under exceptionally
favorable weather conditions,
While the average per acre is from
1900 to 1900 cases, in some districts of
the product owing TO the complete filling
oul of every ear it amounted TO 1000
cases, which is Unprecedented Further,
owing to the shortage OF cans and of tin
to make make them, thousands of bushels
were turned back on the farmers, the
packers settling with them on the best
possib'e terms. As an illustration, one
large finn paid out sI5,o and another
$4,000, and gave the corn to the farmers
for fodder.
A fair estimate of the packing of 1904
would be about 500, COO cases, and most
of it very choice. Further, but very lit
tie old corn was left over, and the mar
ket starts in very good shape.

There are numerous anecdotes about
noted people who were fond of animals,
and we are pretty sure that they were
fond of them when they were boys and
girls. Daniel Webster loved his calves
dearly, and used TO get his son Fletcher
out of bed before daylight to hold the
lantern while he fed the COWS. "Fletch-
err he would say, you don't seem to
take any interest in this. like TO look
into the kind faces of the COWS. and smell
their BREATH When Choate was his
guest he used TO rap at the door of his
room where he was reading, and call to
the great jurist, "Oh, come along, Choate !;
let's 90 and have look at the pigs"
Webster ordered his farm hand to drive
the oxen past the library windows, so
that he could tell them good-byN before
he died.
1t was said of Edmund Burke that he
had gone crazy because he went about in
his park kissing his COWS and horses.
The story arose from the fact that fav-
orite horse belonging to his dead son
came up to Mr.. Burke in the field, laid
his head upon his breast, and looked into
his face as if to say, IL have lost him
too Overcome by his memories, Burke
olasped the neck OF the intelligent crea-
ture and kissed it.-irom H6b1'S

Crop Bulletin.

In few DAYS Secretary Mekeen oil the
State board Of agriculture will issue his
crop bulletin on the season of 1904
Among other things Mr.. Mekeen will say
in the introduction and summary OF the
bulletin.
"In the beginning Of the season we
found our farmers with an abundant sup
Bly OF hay and other fodder To carry their
stock well out TO pasture, with helds in
fine condition, not having been at all in
iured BY the winter The prospects tor
huit were never better, and the amount
OF land planted and sown was seldom
equalled These favorable prospects
continued through the spring months
and the first indications Of any reYerSes
was when the apples begun to fall in
some places, and corn failed to come IN
Other 5, but with the continued fine wealth
er OF the summer and early fall we are
able to announce an abundant harvest OF
nearly all crops. No severe drouths have
prevailed and no severe winds or storms
over any great extent. The hay crop IS
again abundant, and except in sections
where rains were frequent IN the carly
part Of July has been stored in fine con-
diton Grain suffered Slightly from rust,
and is somewhat lighter than usual, but
there is an abundance OF straw. Corn
came along rapidly after the first of July,
and the yield, both OF sweet and yellow,
is far ahead of the average. Potatoes
started well in the spring and have made
a continuous growth, unaffected by depre-
dations from rust or beetles. More adj
va1ced methods have been reported from
all sections of the State and it is safe to
say that farmers are now better supplied
with the crops usually grown upon our
farms than in any previous season. The
large quantity of corn fodder has been
stored largely in silts, and when fed with
the mixed grains will materially increase
our stock folders" In order to get at
condition of the crops at this time, list
of questions was sent out.
From the is replies received it is
learned that the crop of sweet and yellow
corn was far above an average, and as
there was no frost until September Goth,
there was no damage from that source.
With the exception OF few localities
the yield of potatoes is less than last
year, with slight tendency to rot In
some cases, The rust held off unusually
late and but little damage is reported
from it,
The number of dairy COWS is gradually
increasing in every part Of the State where
creameres are located, and all correspond
ants speak of very satisfactory returns for
their cream, while in sections remote
from the creamerics there is a noted fall
ing off in the number of COWS, particularly
in Aroostook county, where farmers are
depending more each year upon chemicals
and clover as means for maintaining
the soil fertility.

In these days it is so easy to find that
something we have been doing wrong,
and then so easy to be set off by some
half informed enthusiast upon another
wrong track, that it is wise to get cachet
of authority before giving up our idols.
When however, Mrs Emma ?. Ewing
says that of the half million bushels OF
potatoes handled every day in the kitchens
of this country comparatively few are
cooked as they should be, she would not
be forgiven if the statement were not
followed by an exact method OF how pota-
toes should be boiled, since that is the
most common way to cook them. Put
them, when prepared, in liberal quantity
of boiling water, keep them boiling gently
until tender enough to be pierced easily
with a fork, then drain off the water, dry
out for few moments, shaking them
about occasionally in the kettle, cover
with a napkin or towel, and set the kettle
back on the range Were the potatoes
will keep hot and remaining water evapor-
ate. Treated in this manner they will be
dry, mealy, and delicious. If they have
been boiled without pairing, the skins can
be readily removed, if desired, before the
potatoes are sent to the table. Some pre-
Ter having them served in their Skins. 'or
with their jackets on A medium-sized
potato will boil perfectly in twenty-five
minutes. Boiled potatoes should be sent
to table in a napkin.

RcYiying the Patchwork Quilt

The yagaries of fashion are unaccoant-
able and no one can tell in what direction
they will lead next. writes Sybil Lanigan
in the October Ladies' Home ournal.
OF late months everything which could be
recognized as oldfashioned is the new
fashion, and this is as truly the case in
needlework as in sleeves or furptare.
The decree has gone forth that revival
of patchwork quilts is at hand, and dainty
fingers whose owners have known only
patches and patchwork from family de
scription are busy placing the blocks to-
pether in new and artistic patterns, as
well as in the real old. time order.
In past days the artistic instinct that
knew of no other outlet pleased itself often
over intricate mosaics of calico, and we
cannot despise the love of beauty that
tried to express itself by form and color
in simple materials.
