FRANK J. COLLINS, a sIxteen-year-
old boy, son Of James Collins, OF this
town, clerking at w. H. Thorn pson's
grocery store, was arraigned before
Squire Cooper Monday, charged with
the larceny Of u watch aud chain from
Samuel c. Daisey, captain Of one of the
barges low at the Philadelphia &
Smyrna Transportation Company's
warves at Smyrna lending. Young
Collins claims to be innoGeRt Of the
offense, and says 1t was stolen by soI.se
one else, whom he did not know, and
slipped into his pocket unawares while
he was on the barge Sunday. When
threatened, he found the watch and
chain in his pocket, but instead of re-
turning it to the owner, 10 his fright
ran up the transportation CJmpany's
lane leading to their stable and
threw the watch over one side of the
fence and the chain over The other.
The watch was found by Frank Rieman
and returned to the owner, but the
chain has not been found. He was
held IN bond for his appearance at
court, $50 surety, which bis father went
on. We understand that Capt. Daisey
will withdraw the charge as soon as
the chain Is found, owing to the age Of
young Collins.

A Word About squashbues.

An ounce Of prevention is worth a
pound Of cure in this case especially,
for when squashbugs once get we'll
started in a field it is almost impossible
to get rid of them. Insecticides are, as
a rule, Of but little value. Poisons
would be of no use, as the insect does
not bite the tissue, but sucks the sap
from underneath. Experiments made
at the New York station substantiate
the foregoing, although trials were
made with bisulphide of carbon, pyre-
thrum powder and kerosene emulsion.
The last named will kill the young
bugs, but in order to destroy the old
ones the emulsion has to be so strong
that it endangers the plant Tt is advised
that the squash field be free from rub
bish and cleaned up and plowed in the
fall. Bits of boards, chips, squash
leaves, ETC., placed underneath the vines
make good traps. They should be ex
amined daily and the bugs destroyed.
In the early spring pick the old bugs
from the vines and destroy them.

Some of the sweet corn canning fac
tories will not run the coming season,
others will cut down their acreage more
or less, while in other cases many farm
ers refuse to plant on a cutdown price.
These causes combined will reduce the
acreage in sweet corn the coming year
very materially, according to Maine
Farmer. This authority, however, says:
The fact of falling off in the sweet
corn plant need not and should not
be a reason for farmers to reduce
the area planted to this important
farm crop. The advantages of sweet
corn as a farm crop over that of yell
low corn, when all conditions in
volved are taken into the account, have
not been great at the price paid by the
Gamers in these later years. So that,
though the sweet corn may be out of
consideration. there is still good reason
for planting corn. Every acre that the
sweet corn falls off should be made good
with at least like area in the yellow.
Then plant corn and select a strong
growing variety. Plant it for fodder.
for the grain, for the silo, for fall feed
ing and for winter use. The falling off
in sweet corn must not reduce the area
OF this important Maine crop

MACHINE CUT POTATO SEED.
Characteristic Features of the Cutter Are
Rapidity and Uniform Size of Seed.

Characteristic Features of the Cutter Are
Rapidity and Uniform Size of Seed.
Machines for cutting seed potatoes
have now been sold for several years,
and those who use them have had fair
chance to estimate their real value. In
order to learn whether these slicers are
more reliable than knife in the hands
OF an ordinary workman Rural New
Yorker solicited the experiences of a
number of farmers who have given the
machines a fair trial. The cutter is a
simple set of knives, which press down
Oh the potato and slice it into square
pieces.
Virginia farmer thus summed up
the desirable points of the potato cut
ter: The rapidity with which the seed
can be cut, the uniform size of the seed,
and at the same time the removing of
the seed end of the potato. In many
localities it is important to get the seed
into the ground as soon as possible, and
it would require quite number of
hands to keep the planter running I'M
less the seed were cut a number of days
ahead. With cutter an ordinary man
san, with two or three hours start, keep
the planter going without any trouble
and one can feel satisfied that the seed
is cut much more perfectly than it
would have been cut by an ordinary
hired man with a knife. He did not
think that the machine would be espe-
oially useful on small farm. but any
one planting % barrels of seed and up
ward should certainly not be without q
potato cutter.
One correspondent reported as fol-
lows: I used the Aspinwall potato cut
ter last season. A man can cut with this
machine, of large and medium potatoes,
from six to eight bushels an hour. 1t
does the best work on large and medium
sized potatoes which have the eyes even
~ distributed. 1t does better work gen
orally on long potatoes. I could not tell
what percentage of hills were missed.
but think more than where we planted
hand cut seed. think an average hired
man will do as good work with the ma
chine as he would with knife, unless
you make him take so much pains with
OLO hAlIO ullAu IL fOI uOb U6
Such machine is desirable because one
man will cat seed as fast as four or five
by hand, and where one uses a planter
he can keep it running steadily, with
out extra help or without cutting pota-
toes ahead, which I have found to be
risky business. Where potatoes are
drilled with an Aspinwall planter I
don't think the loss from missing hills
amounts to much
A Long Island farmer claimed that
his cutter cut about six bushels an hour,
doing its best ark on long, medium
sized tubers. lie did not have over 1
per cent Of missing hills He preferred
seed cut with the machine to that cut
by hand, as it cuts uniform and wastes
no seed. He calculated that cutter
saves the time Of four men at a busy
season, but that to make the machine
valuable one should cut from 60 to rs
bushels of potatoes.

The Racquet.

The High School Racquet for April
cies:
The editors have been in correspon-
dence with many OF the school papers of
the state on the subject of the Maine
Amateur Press Association. The result
Of this correspondence is that the Secre-
tary of the Board has sent invitations to
all the school papers of the state invit-
ing them to a meeting to be held in Port
land during the Memorial Day vacation,
probably May 31st. the object of which
is the formation of the association. Par
ticulars as to Accommodations and enter
tainment will be furnished by the Secre-
tary.
On Friday evening, May 10, the Glass
of '96 will give an entertainment in AS
semi bly, Hall for the benefit of the school
This entertainment is to consist of two
parts. The first part is made up of a
purely concert programme of high order
of merit. No pains have been spared to
make this part of the programme supe-
rior to anything before attempted by the
school. The success OF the concert is as
sured as glance at partial list of those
taking part will suffice to show. The
list includes such well-known talent as
Misses Douglass, Coombs, Cobb, Millett,
Liscomb and Turkey, and Messrs. Dyer,
Moulton, Galley, Winchester, Little,
Sinkinson and Stevens. 1t will consist
of solo and quartette singing instru-
mental music and recitations. The Sec
ond part of the entertainment will be a
play entitled Little Paul P" with Mr..
James F. Dyer in the title role. The
fact that the parts were all assigned by
Miss Baker with the approval of Mr..
Chase is sufficient guarantee. that they
are all in good hands.

MISCELLANEOUS.
SLOWLY STARVING
Surrounded by Plenty, butDying
for Food.

An Everyday Occurrence. = Our Friends
Perishing Before Our Eyes.
A terrible experience for any one to &c
through, that of seeing somessbeloyed
friend actually wasting away bef8fe our
eyes, unable to derive sufficient flourish
ment from their food to sustain life.
Medicine naturally becomes of little
avail, and the various organs of the body,
debilrtated from lack of nourishment,
take on themselves the disease that was
originally the cause of the breakdown, y
and help hasten the end.
Such cases, though too prevalent, are
happily becoming less frequent. The
prominent physicians of to-day do things
differently from those of twenty years
ago. They first put the patient in con-
dition to stand the SIEGE then enrich
his blood, create for him new strength,
and "build him up" generally. The
patient is then in condition to derive
benefit from his medicine.
This is done by the use Of Bovinine,
the original raw food. It is an extract
that contains the greatest amount of the
llfe-sustaining and tissue-building proper
ties of lean, raw meat, concentrated in
the least possible bulk.
The advantage OF this Is obvious. A
patient already greatly weakened by dis
ease, needs to husband every particle of
strength. A few drops of .Boyinine will
impart as much nourislment to the body
as would be derived by we'll person
from an ordinary meal; and, in getting
this nourishment, the stomach has been
forced to do the least possible amount of
work.
Bovinine, continued throughout an i'll
ness, greatly hastens recovery. Taken
at the beginning of a wasting disease, it
diverts the cause of the trouble by toning
up the various organs, and getting them
in normal condition.
Bovinine is Endorsed by 25, 900 doctors.
Its action is always beneficial, as a single
trial will convince the most sceptical.
