Aroostook,
WOODLAND.
The weather for the past week has been
very changeable. On Monday the 14tn

wished to cast their votes for honest
money The Republican vote of 1894 in

Democratic vote fell off 50 votes from
1894. All are very jubilant over the great
Republican victory. Some of the far
mers have began digging their potatoes.

than one-half of that of 1896. The price
is low and discouraging to us all-The
grain crop is immense.-Mr. oliver Smith
of this town harvested two acres of
wheat from which there was aI07 bushels
thrashed; 53l2 bushels of wheat to the
acre is the largest yield ever~fecorded in

depend on the West for their bread stuffs

just much as it ever was-Mr. Leigh
Smith or Carihou, mas 200 large stacks Of
beans from two acres of Sround.-Mr c.

Their sraln crop by the thousands of
bushels.-One man wished to use Il little
money last week and took 100 bushels of
clean oats to Caribou and was Obliged to
sell them for $40 Hay is scarce and
there VIII be iots OF grain fed TO stock
the coming winter. Thousands of bush
els of grain still remain in the fields as
the barns are not large enough to hold il
an, and as the farmers in the past have
depended largely on potatoes. there are
not enough thrashing machines to ac-
commodate the farmers.
