Dirigo Grange, Freedom, will hold fair
Sept. %.
Stockton Grange has recently had its hall
thoroughly repaired and a number of i'm
provements made, and now have one of the
most eommodious and desirable halls in the
State.
AT the last regular meeting of Somerset
Pomona Grange resolutions were adopted
endorsing tho Grand work accomplished by
b. Walk NEeen, secretary of the State
board of ture, in the interests of
Maine farmers.
Starks Grange, although but recently or
gained, has sf0wn great enterprise. II
has built and s fitting up q large and con-
venient hall 10 which to hold the mee,iogs.
This hall stands in a beautiful grove near
the public road, and is centrally located.
Granite Grange, North Searsport, held
the first meeting in its new hall Sept. 4.
About 100 members were present, and all
were delighted with the new building. This
grange is rapidly increasing in membership,
twelve having Joined at the last meeting.
j. W. Stockwell, lecturer of the Mass
achusetts state grange gives this advice to
lecturers of subordinate oranges: Keep in
step with your grange. Do not lead by get
ting too far ahead. 10 not forget the indi-
viduality of your grange or its peculiar needs
and its peculiar circumstances. The pre-
gramme of no other grange should be your
guide except as it fills want in your circle
and in your community. To try to run all
oranges 10 one groove is fatal mistake.

The poultry that is sent to the
market should be in a neat condition.
The pin feathers should be carefully
removed, the skin kept as unbroken
as possible, and, if drawn, the inside
carefully wiped out, all blood stains
removed, and the shanks and feet
carefully sponged from all impurities
The condition in which the poultry
is offered will make quite difference
in the readiness Of the sale, and
sometimes in the price per pound. 1t
will be easy to lose cent or two per
pound from the price by offering the
poultry in an unfit condition, and as
this amount can be secured by lit

profit is entirely inexcusable.

Reducing the Cost.

An Ohio dairy man claims to have
reduced the cost of feeding his cows
to $16 per year, while the income
from herd is $50 per year for each an
imal. He uses the silo, and feeds his
cows altogether with the product of
his farm, and the SIG per year repre-
sents what the feed cost him. But
this is not the fair way to estimate
the profit of dairying. Yhe farmer is
entitled to profit on his other farm
ing operations. What he feeds to his
cows should be charged at its mark
etable value, less the cost of market
ing. In that way he will not be
tempted to give more expensive feeds
because they are homegrown, when
a greater pr tit might be made by
purchasing special feeds that the
farm is not adapted to growing. We
cannot grow cotton seed in the
North, nor is it desirable for East
ern farmers to grow haxseed. Yet
cotton seed and linseed meal are Of.
ten profitable parts of the mich
cows rations. The idea Of feeding
only what the farm p oduces may Of
ten stand in the way Of doing some
thing that will pay much better
The farmer of to-day needs to be an
all-round business man, as quick as a
merchant to see and improve oppor-
tunities for making money by doing
what is out Of our usual line. Cole

man passed his examination in q
way highly creditable to himself II
heredity goes for anything he is q

inspiration in the record of his an

deavor. The scales do not weigh
courage, mentality or the innate quail

other ends STRAIGHT and about half
an inch apart A hole should be
drilled in each end. Make another
similar piece Of iron 81 in long with

holes l in apart in the other for the
wires. Put the end with one hole
between the two Gin parts of the

Fasten these at the welded part to a

Run the wires through the two holes
and the machine is ready for work.

From Enterprise: The long contest
between Lane university of Lecompton
and Central college of Enterprise was
practically ended when the Harrison
Normal company decided the beautiful
college grounds to the Central College
association in trust for the church Of
the United Brethren in Christ, leaving
with half interest in 500 lots besides.
The college building and campus are
worth 100000. Central has now an open
field. DIR. j. A. Weller still continues as
president Of the college. The property
was decided because of three years of
prosperous school. 1t was a gift with
out dollar Of debt.
