AVoice From Granite Hill Farm.

W. P Atherton, Hallowell, followed
The increased demand for Maine fruit
only demonstrates its superior quality,
and this will become more and more ap-
parent as we overcome the obstacles in
our way of reaching the most complete
grading, packing and shipping as well
as growing. A soil where clay or sand
predominates is not good orchard land.
Seek for granite foundation or soil
composed of gravel and loan. Well
drained rocky lands of moderate eleva-
ton are the best for the Baldwin and rus
set, while the Bellefiowcr loves rich,
sandy or clay loan. The Ben Davis and
Spy do the best where there are plenty of
rocks and moisture, that is they do well
in land too low and moist for the Bald
win. Wherever the russell or Baldwin
will flourish the r. I. Grcening will
thrive For location look to the southern
slopes rather than western or northern.
Set no apple trees less than 30 or 30 feet
apart Keep the land in cultivation
eight or ten years then seed to clover. and
as soon as this is we'll started turn in the
hogs to feed it off and thoroughly open
the soil If not convenient to keep
SnGcD VI uuSS ScGtl uOWu ttlltl Use
the crop to mulch until the whole is
covered. Sheep are grand fertilizers of an
orchard Very much depends upon our
system of picking and handling. We
grow too many varieties. do not be
lieve it profitable to grow the Bellflower,
Talman Sweet or many other varieties
which have been popular Grow only n
few varieties, those which experience de-
monstrates of greatest value to your loca-
ton, and grow these to perfection. Put
your name in every barrel and guarantee
the quality.
Bro. Drummond, Winslow. Open the
tops of your trees. Never cut scions
from ends of limbs. Set far apart and fer
tilize thoroughly.
Bowman. Cheap land better than more
expensive, cover ground with mulch.
Fcrtilize with barn manure if possible.
Add the combined fertilizers if need be.
Three or four varieties are enough for
any man. If you commence blowing fCl-
low for ten years, but If not keep the pillow
out of the orchard and put in the hogs
sheep or mulch.
Anterior. Select tall trees to avoid
low branching and then trim to keep
down and out.
DIR. Twitchcll urged a study of soil con-
ditions and requirements, also impor
lance of holding the highest possible mar
gin of profit by raising the quality of
those shipped Not better apples but a
better packing of the same. Holding
strictly to uniform color and quality an
increase of 25 to 80 cents is sure to fol-
low and in towns shipping ten thousand
barrels this becomes an item Of impor-
tancc. Action was urged looking to a
combination on some fixed system of grad
ing. Bro. Twitchell brought from north
ern Massachusetts, some fine specimens
of Newton Pippin which We're passed
about and then sampled, many never hav
ing seen sample of the apple in such de-
mand and selling above all others in the
markets. The size, beautiful color. fine
grain and rich flavor was the subject of
universal comment.

Kennebec Pomona in Sidney.

Thursday, Feb. eth, was not such
day as one would select for drive in the
country yet before night, fully $50 had
gathered in the grange hall at Sidney,
among the enterprising farmers there to
ioin in the special work of the day. In
the enforced absence of the master, Bro.
Drummond, master of Winslow grange,
occupied the chair and directed the work.
The morning hour was taken in an infor-
NAL discussion of barn construction, profits
of dairying and milk production and es-
pecially the amount of work to be expect
ed from farm laborers.
Land, location and varieties for or
charding, was the general topic for the
afternoon, opened by the well known
fruit grower and orchardist, Geo. f. Bow
man, Sidney, who urged cheap, rocky,
billy land, without so much thought of
the direction of the slope provided it be
sufficient to insure surface drainage,
placing special emphasis on the selection
of trees, setting, pruning and care. Keep
the ground rich to the extent covered by
the roots, increasing the area each year
Keep down the grass by mulching. Keep
the top open to the sun. Use eternal vigi-
lance in destroying insect pests. Study
the markets and the tastes OF consumers.
Grow what is callel for, provided your
land and location are suited. Grow only
a few varieties not more than four. Get
and seek to get information all the while
touching every point but particularly the
calls of the market. Protect the trees
and pasture with sheep or hogs. Picking,
handling and packing were treated at
length, the Importance of some system OF
grading being urged at length.

Kennebec Pomona Brand.

Bro. Bowman believes it feasible for
this Pomona to apply rigid system OF

in packing and branding seems to justify
some such step.

"The offer of Corn island instead of q

out against us all the champions Of Mon

Stewart Parnell, the late Irish leader, was
assaulted on her way home, beaten,
robbed and left unconscious in q field,
where she was found later by passer-by.
She was carried to farmers house near

until evening, when she was unable to

no symptoms have yet developed pointing
to fracture of the skull. In view of her

CHICAGO, April 22.-H. II. Kohlsaat
who for time held the controlling in
terest in the Inter Ocean, but sold out be-
cause he had ideas that did not gee"
with those of others in the concern, has
since been watching an opportunity to
get back into the ranks of journalism and
his success marks another lightning
change" in the life of the Herald, founded
by the late James w. Scott The change
is greater than that by which the paper
became the Times Herald, for it involves
a change of politics from Democratic to
Republican in the national issue of pro-
lection.
Mr.. Kohlsaat has purchased $40, 600 of
the 81, 000 600 in stock of the paper and one
of the first indications of Republican con-
troll was the resignation of the princi
pal political writer, who could not write
protection articles against his own con-
vctions. James w. Scott owned $780,
600 in the Times Herald and besides the
money for this Mrs. Scott will get an
annuity Of $4,000 for ten years If she lives
that long. She will also hold small in
teret in the paper 1t should be said that
the sale includes The Evening Post Also
Mr. Hawley the managing editor of the
Times Herald, retains his stock, but of
course will not control the papers policy.
Outside of tho issue Of protection the
paper will vigorously oppose free silver
coinage at any ratio by this nation alone.
In local affairs it will be independent and
hold personal fitness as the only qualifica-
tion for municipal Office
