daughter, Mrs. Adeia Kelly and her three

Miss Inez Staples sold coon kitten to
cottagers at Fort Point last week. Mrs.
Phillips and her four children of Brookline,
Mass, are spending a few weeks with her
niece, Mrs. Lizzie McCaslin. Haying is
about done here. The crop ranges from
one-half to two-thirds, taking all farms just
as they come along the road. All the sheep
so far as heard will have to go this coming
fall. Mrs. Lizzie Partridge of Belfast is
visiting her daughter, Mrs. Lizzie Lane.
Rains come along nearly every other day in
short storms or showers and the h2ying
fields have been the wettest for years The
old potato rot with black spots on the tops
is starting and coming good in this wet
weather. Labor saving devices SO much
to1ly rod ,ha,,t ~ hat 1,a a
| for almost nothing, will not work this year.
| The crop planted is less all over the country
and with continued wet weather the rot will
take half of them. The best course to pursue
is to NOW the tops off when the rotten smell
of the top begins and take them off the piece.
Dig after the first rotting spell and store
them in the cellar; sprinkling air-sacked
| lime over them and cover with short bags
and resort later on. With continued wet
weather and later digging there will be less
| sound potatoes than the first method is my
experience, that is before the crop is ripened
and the tops dead. The last two years the
| crop has matured when having dry weather.
No danger after maturing. Look out after
| the murphes this year.
