by the Hancock county fair association,
and is now being distributed among the
farmers and Others throughout the
county.
The fair this fall will be held at Wyman
Park on September 10, II and p, and the
managers will bring to the exhibition the
same energy that has characterized their
efforts in the past.
This is the fourth year of the present

sheep Killed by Dogs.

Fred Moore, of Ellsworth Falls, reports
that seventeen of his sheep were killed by
dogs, Saturday. The remainder of the
flock, seven, broke down the gate of the
pasture and came home covered with
blood, one being bitten about the throat.
The sight of the frightened and bloody
sheep startled the family, and Mr.. Moore's
eldest son, Vernon, went to the pasture,
which is back of Juniper cemetery, about
a quarter of a mile from the house.
There he found the slaughtered sheep,
with their throats mangled and the blood
sucked, and the dogs in the act of killing
the last of the lot.
At sight of the boy the dogs left the
sheep and ran for him. He jumped
fence, but had to climb tree to escape
them, and then he was held captive for
several hours until his captors left.
The boy says the dogs We're three in
number, large and savage two We're yell
low and one was white.

CONCERT AND LECTURE.

Ellsworth and Vicinity as Viewed by
Stereopticon.
This Thursday evening, at the Con-
gregational vestry, stereopticon lecture
on Ellsworth and vicinity will be deliv-
cred by Rev. ID. l.. Yale.
The entertainment will commence at
7.30 O'Clock. Prior to the lecture Mona
ghan's band will play several selections.
About 125 views will be shown, among
them several of the ice cutting at Green
Lake during the ice boom a few years
ago; views of the fish hatchery at Green
Lake as exhibited at the Worlds Fair,
and other Green Lake scenes.
There will be several views taken at
Branch pond, including an interior view
of Nicolin club, and a shot at an CATER
dinner" group on the porch.
Views on Union river and bay will in
clude several taken during the freshet of
1886, and some picturesque views down
the river.
There will also be shown many views
in and about the city, and number
from Mt. Desert island.
The lecture will prove interesting be-
cause of the familiarity of the scenes
presented. The familiar faces of many
prominent business men OF the city will
be seen in the groups. The oxy-h hydrogen
light will be used, focused to a smaller
picture than usual, to bring out the
pictures more clearly than on the larger
screen.
The proceeds from the lecture, above
actual expenses, are to go to Monaghan s
band to obtain music for open air con-
certs. This is donation by Mr.. Yale
which will be appreciated by the public.

FARMERS INSTITUTE.
Interesting Meetings But Slltn1y
Attended,

Attended.
The circus proved too great counter
attraction for the success of the farmers
institute last Friday, in point of atten-
dance, but the meetings proved most in
teresting and no doubt beneficial to the
few who attended.
The meetings were held at ue2aock
hall John A. Peters, jr., introduced the
speakers, though really they needed no
introduction to the farmers of Hancock
county. In the morning but very few
were present, and Secretary B. Walker
McKeen made his remarks on 'The Value
of Maine Grown Crops more of an in
formal talk.
In the afternoon the attendance was
larger, though still small. Prof. G. M.
Gowell, of the State college at Orono,
gave a very interesting and instructive
talk on the dairy, the care of cows and of
cream.
The lecture arranged for the evening,
by Prof. w. II. Jordan, OF Orono was
postponed.
Secretary Mckeen has promised to visit
Ellsworth again in the fall, when it is
hoped there will be no circus in he town.
The Institutes held at Waltham last
Thursday and at Bucksport Saturday
We're we'll attended.

HINTS AND HELPS.

Schools in the country districts efe
too far apart, causing much loss Of
time during inclement seasons More
schools should be established in some
districts
Evergreen hedges protected many
herds and flocks during the recent
cold spell, serving as wind-brakes.
such hedges are both ornamental and
useful, but shelter Is better.
Money spent for wood ashes will al
ways be well invested. They are suit
able for all classes of soils, do not in
jure the land or the crops. and supply
both lime and potash as plant food.
Good roads will lessen the number Of
foundered horses, will save time in
delivery, lessen the exertion Of the
stock, and also eventually decrease
taxes by being more durable and per-
manent.
Muck and mari are used as absorb
ents, being excellent for that purpose.
Marl contains a large proportion Of
mineral matter in an insoluble condi-
ton, but which in time is converted
into plant food after being applied to
the soil.
The plow should be adapted to the
land. There are plows that are suit
able for hillsides others for level
land, and they are made to turn the
burrows narrow or wide. Much de-
pends on the texture of the soil in the
selection of a plow
Heavy soils are always benefited by
lime. Lime is slow in its action, and
may not show any benefit to the soil
for year or more, but there will ar
rive time when good results will be
obtained, and the benefit will be last
ing and apparent for many reasons.
DO not wait to procure fertilizers,
but do so AT once. The winter may
break up suddenly and give an early
spring, at which time the fertilizers
should be applied. 1t may be incon-
yenient then to wait, and delays may
be dangerous. Fertilizers and seeds
should be ready before spring opens.
DO not turn the stock on the pasture
too soon. Give the grass an oppor-
tlnity to get a fair start and make
growth The feet of the animals do
damage, and sheep Craze very close to
the ground. The pasture will be all
the more serviceable by allowing the
grass an opportunity to grow
Mixed food always gives better re-
suits than d single diet. Corn is the
staple food for nearly all classes of
stock, but corn Is deficient in lima
and is not suitable for growing stock
unless fed In connection with some
other Kinds of foods Mixed food af-
fords a variety, and is consequently
more highly relished

In putting on new gloves, do so
carefully, for their after-wear depends
very much on the way they are treat
ed from the very beginning. Never
put on gloves when you are In hur-
ry and just going out; rather choose
another time, when your hands are
cool and you have ten minutes or so
to devote to them. Before beginning
operations dust a little powder into
each glove, for this will cause them to
slip on more easily. Work the fingers
we'll on before putting in the thumb;
then work That In slowly, gradually
smoothing the kid onto the hand.
When the glovo Is carefully put on
pull 1t well down and button the 500
ond button, and any others that there
are, with the exception Of the first,
leaving the first button until the last
If the hands are hot, remove the
gloves, and then turn them inside out,
pulling them carefully into shape and
leaving them in the air for an hour or
two before laying them away.
A glove-stretcher will be found Of
assistance in the preparation Of new
gloves for wear. 1t must, however, be
used with discretion, since IL Is quite
as annoying to have glove that Is
too large as one that Is too small. In
buying gloves always provide your
self with spool Of sewing silk or linen
thread for mending, exactly the color
of the gloves.

Some months ago man went down
to the lake shore to commit suicide
and when he began to write a final
message to his wife, he could think
of nothing to say except that some
butter which he had ordered would be
found at certain grocery. His mes
sage bears out a certain fact discov-
cred by realists, that in the supreme
and soul-terrifying moments of life
the most ridiculous and trivial things
often come uppermost in the nina.
The dying man comments upon the
ugly pattern of the wall paper in his
room, and the newly married couple
is said to show an invariable prefer
ence for talking about the weather.
Just the other day, says the Buffalo
News, a boy employed in a west-side
factory fell four stories down the
shaft of a freight elevator. BY some
interpostion of fate or providence.
he landed on his feet, after turning
over a couple of times, and crawled
out of the bottom door with a silly
and mortified look on his face. Ex-
cept for an inward jolting and few
bruises, he was not injured.
The men who had seen him fall
rushed to the bottom Of the shaft, ex-
pecting to find him lying there crush
ed and lifeless.
But he was on his feet outside the
shaft catching his breath in an excit-
ed, nervous giggle, and awkwardly
brushing the dust off his clothes.
Are you hurt?' they asked taking
hold of him.
"N-n-no. I'm all right"
Did you light on your feet?"
II don't know. Leave me alone.
I'm all right"
In a few minutes he had calmed
down, and one of the men asked him,
What did you think of while you
were falling?"
'All remember is that the feather
cleanin' place on the second floor was
shut down"
rs that all?"
Il could see as went by that there
wasn't any one working there, That's
every blamed thing l can remember"
He stuck to it. At an awful mo-
ment when his past life should have
come TO him in fash. he was taking
observations of the "teather-cleanin'
place"
