DIR. Holmes on Physical Culture.

1t is remarked that DR.. Holmes was ono
of the earliest apostles of physical culture
in this country, and that he used his OPP
portunity us tho ,'Autocrat' most effect

than this white bloodcd degeneration 10

protest Il am satisfied that such a set OF

paste colaplexioned youth rs we can boast
in cur Atlantic cities never before sprang
from tho loins of Anglo-Saxon lineage.

As mention has been made in the Jour

'laine ior the 10 lb. packages, these We're
from 70 to % cents per lb., at retail and
10 TO ~ cents at wholesale when butter
was selling at % and - cents retail,
secretary McKccn read a letter from Geo.
W. whitaker Of the Massachusetts, dairy
board saying that he had been inter
viewed by one of Armour's representa-
tIves to see il he could store in Massa-
chusetts colored oleomargarinc intended
Tor sale in Maine. So it would seem that
the bogus butter magnatcs do not intend
70 surrender the Maine market.
The secretary says many complaints
nave come to him of foul seed, samples of
which he has had examined OF these
weeds, he says, "Their introduction and
dissemination over our State can but
be viewed with alarm and urge that the
Board take soEio actions relative to the
matter of recommendations to the
Legislature looking toward some definite
system OF seed inspection
Mr.. McKeen speaks of what he terms
now fraud, nutriotonc and its ingre
dicnts, etc, the result of the analysis by
the chemist of the State college In rela-
ton to the crop bulletins he says that
they have been regularly issued and that
the circulation in 1898 was $500 and in
1891, 1900. They have been provided
with more information for those who re-
ceive them and their value is greatly
appreciated. With the introduction Of
the Babcock test some. definite system of
weighing or measuring cream was needed
and it is hoped that provision will be
made to overcome the difficulty Farm
catalogues have been sent out to town
officers asking for list of farms for
sale. The result was returns from
1872 farm owners, offering their farms for
prices from $500 to $4,000. The largest
number was from Penobscot county, 81.
Mr.. McKeen speaks very kindly of what
the press has done in advancing the in
tcrcsts of the board. Mention was made
of the exchanges. Referring to the insti-
tutes, he says that no changes have been
made, except that the morning meetings
have been dropped out. Many very able
speakers were secured, and the topics
treated were Of especial value to the agri-
culturalist. He presents a list of the in
stitutes, where held when, and the topics
considered. DnrIng three years the board
has held 1876 of these meetings, at a total
cost of So, 402.S1. averaging $50. 81.
Other meetings were held and expense of
some of the Office work. the expense of
both amounted to 1923 which added to
S1430 gives the balance of the 1894 appro-
Dration expended since the last annual
meeting
Speaking of agricultural societies he
says that at the fairs the premiums have
increased since 1893. An itcmized ac-
count of the analysis of exhibitions is
furnished and the total awards on live
stock was Sl2, 734. 93. Much valuable
data is provided, which we are unable to

Abstract Of Sec'y McKeen's Address.
The report of Secretary McKcen was
listened to with the closest attention. Mr..
McKeen always has that to say which dc
mands attention and this year he was
able to make very gratifying report of
the progress during the year in the agri-
cultural interests of Maine He says on
never better, in my judgment than to
day, for continuance of the advance
in our farm practices which is every
where so apparent. "Thc returning
tide of prosperity which is showing
itself in manufacturing and mercantile
pursuits is having it's effect upon our
agriculture, and the demand for most of
the products of the soil is steadily in
crcasing with a corresponding increase in
prices" The agriculturist is becoming
more and more an important factor in
our body polite, and it only remains for
him to keep steadily on the course of sell
culture and. self elevation to continue to
b. more and more respected. The sec
retary quotes that part of the Governor s
message which referred to the agricultu-
raj interests of the State.
1.-The season of 1894 may be classcd as
,,r
Maine farms. While much of the West
and some portions of New England were
suffering from the effects of severe
drought in tic early part of the summer
Maine was comparatively free from it. y
sAu kinds of stock came through the
winter in fine condition, there being an
abundance OF fodder in nearly every com
munity !, The amount of grain sown was
considerable larger than in 1898 but on
acco int Of rust the yield was somewhat
light The secretary points out that
there is growing tendency towards SOW
ing mixed grains and on many OF our
dairy farms they are sown without thresh-
ing The hay crop was above the aver
age The potato crop was not quite
equal to that of 1898 but the fruit crop
was far above that of 1893 The corn
crop was considerably above the average.
There were built the past season 90 silos
many of them having been filed with
sweet corn fodder Allusion is made to
the extending use of machinery in the
agriculture of the State.
The executive committee of the board
has done excellent work. 1t was called
together three times.
The State meetings have been very sue
cessful, particularly the dairy meeting.
In referring to the subject of tbutter-
inc" the secretary says evidence was Sc
cured against ii Parties no are held for
the atti)n of TIC grand jury. He thinks
the Maine law is without doubt consti-
tutional He says: 81 would however,
call the natter to your attention for the
purpose Of considering if some change
cannot be made by which the remunera-
tion of parties causing complaints to be
made shall be more fully fixed Claims
are made that these goods are an iiHiepen-
dent food, and n favor to the poor, but
these claims can be rcfuted by referring to
the report OF the Massachusetts, board Of
agriculture. The secretary quotes from

LIFE is CHEAP.
Fatal Series of Three Acct
dents Completed Today.
James Griffin Had His Skull Crushed
in a Coal Yard.
Theory OF Police and Firemcn That
Serious Accidents Never Come Singly.

There is theory among policemen and
firemen that fatalities, big fires and other
events in the category Of crime and mis-
fortune always come in threes, and nine
times out OF ten facts will substantiate
the theory.
For instance James Griffin, a stevedore,
was almost instantly killed this fore
noon by being struck on the head by a
coal bucket while he was at work in the
coal yard OF the Pomroy Com
pany. Last Wednesday brakeman was
crushed to death on South Water street,
Friday gripman was killed by an ex-
plosion on College Hill. Both OF these
men were married; today's victim was
single. The oldest OF the three was
20 and the youngest was "a, and the most
lamentable fact is that all the three men
killed in the heart Of the city within five
days were honest and industrious laborers
of the class that does not 60 on a spree on
pay day.
Griffin, at the time of his death, was en-
gagged in hosting coal from barge to
one OF the compartments in the big coal
pockets on Hopkins wharf. He was
standing on the dock and directly beneath
a bucket that had just been emptied
when the fastenings became loosened and
the 200 pounds OF wood and iron fell a
distance OF 20 feet striking the stevedore
on the top of his head. His skull was so
badly crushed that he lived but few
minutes after the accident.
Dr. Palmer viewed the remains and gave
them in charge OF Undertaken German.
Griffin was 2S years old, and boarded at IL
John street.
This fatal series OF three does not in
clude one suicide by shooting and three
cases of death from illuminating gas that
have been recorded on the police book
within week.
