The other day we noticed several large
butter Trunks at the express Office and
were led to inquire whose they were,
but before the question was answered
we saw the name "Philander Wilson,
North Anson, Me. Mr.. Wilson is the
owner of the Glen stock farm in Emb-
den, better known as the Purington
farm. 1t is located three and one half
miles from this village ON the north
shore of the Carrabassett. Strangers
often remark that this is one of the
pretty New England homesteads, many
of which can be found in the old state
of Maine. This farm contains upwards
of 200 acres of good land. Three years
ago Mr.. Wilson purchased it and went
to work. In 1895 he raised 800 bushels
of grain, 300 bushels of potatoes, two
acres of sweet corn and two acres of
beans, having under the plow about
twenty-five acres. From his farm he
sold last year to his sons who are en-
gagged in prosperous grocery business
in Portland, about three tons of butter
and pork, fifty bushels of beans, pota-
toes and other farm produce, besides
handling in his trade several hundred
pounds of butter for other parties.
His pork products for the past year
have averaged nine cents per pound in
the Portland market. This season he
planted eight acres of sweet corn and
five acres of other field crops and will
SOW from fifteen to twenty acres of
grain. He wintered ten cows, seven
heifers and three horses. He also had
twenty-six hogs, part of which were
killed during the winter. Mr.. Wilson
sends from this express station as much
farm products as any other farmer in this
section. lie will use five tons of super
phosphate or more this spring besides
his large amount of barn dressing. AL
though Mr. Wilson has been on this
farm but short time a great improve
ment can be seen under his manage
ment. Last fall he brought the water
distance of eighty rods into his barn,
and this spring he has planted 200 apple
trees.
A large amount of feed is annu-
ally consumed in carrying on his dairy
business, all of which is paid for off the
farm. Last winter along with his other
work he hauled seventy-fve cords of
spruce and birch lumber to market,
forty-five of which were delivered to the
pulp mill at Solon. Mr.. Wilson is a
good, enterprising farmer, and knows
how to make the farm pay. This season
he has but one hired man, Charles IIol-
brook, and Mr.. Wilson says he is the
best man he has ever employed. --Advo-

A. B. Penney met with serious acci-
dent while in the saw mill last Monday
forenoon. He was standing with his
back to the buzz saw which he did not
know was going, and in stepping back
to lean against the table he put his right
hand around and onto the saw, COM
pletely severing the ends of the second
and third fingers above the first joint.
The fore finger was sawed through the
bone, but they will try and save it. Mr..
Penney was one of the losers by the
January fire and this is indeed hard for
him as he is very busy rebuilding and
anxious to resume his business.
