that hail is more frequent in valleys

Doyle Improving.


John Doyle, the hackman, who was so
brutally assaulted and cruelty hurt in
Andy Egan's rum shop at the corner OF
Fore and India streets, is now rapidly
improving at the Maine General hospital.
He said yesterday that he remembered
calling another man an abusive name
and was struck but one blow on the chin.
He was neither thrown down or kicked
and there was no attempted robbery.
One of the best officers on the force and
a man of long experience, who was
formerly on that beat, said yesterday that
Egan's saloon was the worst place that
had come under his observation in this
city. There had been more drunken
brawls there and he had had more
trouble because of that saloon, than any
other place in his experience.

Manure For ssndy Soil.

There are two defects in sandy soil
which require manures to remedy. One
is lack Of vegetable matter, because as
sandy soil does not hold water it is al
ways warm, and whatever vegetable
matter it may have is quickly decom-
posed Green manure is the best, as it
is the quickest remedy for this. But
there are many places where the best
kinds of plants to plow under for green
manure will not grow. This is owing to
lack of mineral plant food, chiefly lime
and potash Wood ashes contain both,
and they ought always to be used hber-
ally on sandy land. The potash helps to
relieve the dryness of sandy soil. 1t
will dissolve the sandy PARTICLES, max
ing true soil of them. aud thus retard
ing too rapid filtration through it.
If clover will not grow, at first SOW
rye or some other large grain, and plow
the first crop under. This will make
humus in the soil, and that will secure
clover catch. So soon as clover can be
made to grow there will be no further
trouble We would not advise plowing
under the clover at first. Cut it and feed
1t to stock. Save all the manure made
from it and apply it to growing more
clover. When grain can be top dressed,
there will be no difficulty in getting a
catch Of clover or grass, however poor
the soil may originally have been. All
applications Of manure on sandy soil
should be on the surface. The manure
will leach down fast enough without
being plowed under. American Guilt

President Wilson in his preface to the
report says:
'tThe business revival which has pre-
vailed to some extent throughout the
country has been felt in gratifying de-
gree during the last six months upon
the Maine Central system. The in
dustries which our company has done SO
much to foster, and which have in turn
contributed SO much to our prosperity
but have been more or less prostrated
during the past few years, have again be-
come to noticeable degree centres OF
activity and new plans and schemes for
the development of the natural resources
of the State are being pushed on every
hand. &
"..No portion of the State has failed to
feel the influences of the improved con-
dition of business. but probably the most
marked progress is noticed in the extreme
eastern section of the State, where the
Bangor q Aroostook railroad is this year
adding by the construction OF its Ashland
branch 40 miles to the 172 miles con-
structed last year. In the western portion
of the State the Rangeley Lake region
has been reached by extension from
Rumford Falls. opening up a wide area
of valuable timber land and affordlng
new attractions to the health and pleas
ure seeker 1t is only reasonable to sup
pose that the construction and operation
of these lines of railroad, together with
the promised improvement in most
branches of business, will add to the
volume of business Of your road.
"We have upon more than one occasion
during this season Of business depression
been disappointed in promised perIna
nent revival of business, but it would
seem now that if disturbance upor
the subject of the currency should occur,
we may reasonably hope for a permanent
healthy condition of affairs. Our road
is in good condition for business, ana il
i we get it we stand ready to carry ou1
/ plans for the permanent improvement Of
our property, which adverse pecuniary
conditions left in allegiance.
