the same as in the woods except for the
presence of, women and troops OF chill
dren. The fare though not elaborate is
abundant, fresh and wholesome, being
brought daily from the village where the
factory is located
PICKING THE BERRIES.
There are two pickings, one immedi-
ately following the other. The lessee has
general oversight over the work, and
allots certain territory to each individual,
or family. Careful and efficient service
is required. The picking is done by the
use OF an implement called a picker, the
invention of which may have been sug-
gested by the old fashioned dust pan, as
the handle, back, sides and general make
up closely resemble that article of house,
hold use. The width of the picker varies
from five to eight inches. The smaller
sizes are used by women and children, and
the larger by men. The back OF the picker
is about four inches high. The back,
sides, and the bottom next to the back,
are made Of heavy tin. The outer part OF
the bottom is OF straight steel prongs
some six inches long, set short distance
apart. The operator grasps the short
handle, and thrusts the prongs, slightly
elevated, among the foliage of the bushes
beneath the berries, " hen a dextrous turn
of the wrist shakes off the ripe fruit,
which rolls down into the tight bottom
of the pan.
Skillful and able men gather in this
way from three to four bushels per day.
In the afternoon the berries are collected
and drawn to the factory by the lessee
who takes back food and money to the
people on the barrens. The factory pays
the owner OF the land one cent per quart
for all the berries bought. The balance
OF the price paid goes to the lessee who
phys the plekers. 1t is not unusual for
two-horse team to bring in seventy-fye
bushels Of berries.
The first OF the pick is not canned but
is shipped to the large cities in crates,
each holding thirty-two boxes. This is
done for two reasons: First, because in
the early part of the season, prices are
good for raw berries; second because the
umc to admit of running all the depart
ments OF the factory in an economical
way on fun time.
When the receipts at the factory reach
2o0 to 800 bushels per day, the canning
season commences. The principal fac
tories which may be put down as di-tinc-
lively noted tor pick ing bueberries, are
the Gherrytied packing company. and

up, ON am average, about 10000 bushels
each year. To this may safely be added
10000 which are sold raw, from the State

WASHINGTON COZ MY RAILROAD.
The Railroad commissioners Decide
Route Into Calais.

In the Washington county railroad
matter, " here the railroad commissioners
were asked to change he location OF the
road so hat it should go out Of Calais
three miles and a half over the St. Croix
and Penohscot railroad, down through
Charlotte to DennysviIle and Pembroke,
instead OF down the river to Robbinston,
the commissioners last Wednesday rem
dered decision in favor OF the change OF
location asked for.
1t is stated in he decision hat the diff
ference in the length between the two
routes would not be material except that
the new one gives a shorter distance OF
about six miles for the people Of Calais
to travel going west, but the people tray
cling between PASSPORT and Calais would
have four and siXty-four one hundredths
miles further to go. They are satisfled
TINT he grading of the old route would
cost at least 800, 900 more than the new.

Saunders or X. B. Holmes may be found.
Mr. Holmes was busy on Tuesday when
THE AMERICAN reporter called, in adj
dressing campaign documents. He said
there had been very great demand from
all parts of the county for literature,
which is most encouraging sign. This
is a campaign of education and the more
the voters read the stronger becomes the
cause of honest money.
AS Names state election comes so early,

Betrothed.
DIR. Wilmer l.. Presley, of Bangor, was
killed by lightning at Ryder's Cove, Isles
boro, Sunday afternoon. The sadness OF
the sudden death was increased by the
circumstances attending it. DIR. Presley
had been making sons professional visits
during the afternoon, accompanied by
Miss Elizabeth q. Brown, Of Cambridge,
Mass, to whom he was engaged.
They arrived at the cottage Of DR..
Pressey's father, Charles d. Presley, just
before the storm broke. Miss Brown is
very timid during a thunder storm.
DR.. Presley stood with her in the door
way between the dining room and
parlor, in which were seated his mother,
brother and other members OF the house,
hold. DR.. Pressey's arm was about his
betrothed's shoulders as he tried to
dispel her fears.
At this moment there was a terrific
crash Of thunder The young man fell
dead upon the floor, while his COM
panion, stunned but not seriously in
jured, fell in swoon across his body.
The house was badly damaged in vari-
Gus parts, and its contents thrown into
great confusion. The flagstaff and cupola
on the roof We're carried away, and the
roof, walls and floors pierced and shat
tered by the bolt. The fire which started
in the attic was extinguished. Several
other houses near by We're also damaged
by lightning at about the same time.
DR.. Presley was in the tWenty-second
year OF his age. He met Miss Brown,
whose father, j. Ct. Brown, of Cambridge,
is a wealthy iron merchant in Boston, at
Isles boro last year. They were to have
been married in September. The young
lady was graduated from Wellesley col
lege in 1873.

Goaldsboro, Franklin, Sullivan, East
brook, Winter ilarbor and plantations
Nos :, 5, 9, 10 and 2l, have nominated
Henry Boynton, OF West Sullivan, for
representative to the State legislature.
The choice is a good one. Mr.. Boyntou
is young attorney of ability, and has
the confidence and respect OF the voters
of his class towns. This was illustrated
at the late county convention, when as a
candidate for the nomination for county
attorney, Mr.. Boynton had the hearty
support Of the people OF his section of he
county.
Henry Boynton was born in Lamoine,
July %, 1863, and resided there until 1883.
He was educated in the common schools
and Bucksport seminary, and under pri-
vate instruction. Was in business for

professional career led him to close ont
his business and entered the law office OF
Dessy Il Higgins, at Bar Harbor, in Sep
TENDER, 1885.
Mr.. Boyton attended Boston university
law school in the year 1875, and was adj
mitted to Hancock county bar in April,

began to practice in Sullivan where he
has since remained.
In Sullivan he has served the town as
selectman two years, and has been elected
town clerk seven years in succession. In
both these offices he has proved an Ell
cient and faithful public servant.

Nam moth

A correspondent inquiries about Eng
fish clover. On looking the subject UP
in our authorities, encyclopedias, re-
ports of the department of agriculture,
etc, we are surprised to find that no
mention is made of English clover. 1t
seems that clover of no kind is native
to that island. The common red vari-
city vas introduced there from cont
mental Europe about 1910, and soon
became popular and has been so yer
since. They grow n variety called the
Mammoth, or sapling clover, and we
think this is sometimes incorrectly
called English clover. This large vari-
ETY. is excellent for fertilizing the soil,
but unless cut quite green is not worth
much as forage. The stalks become
quite large and very tough, and stock
will not eat them, so that a large part
Of the plant is wasted.
Mr.. Wallace, in his book on Glover
Culture, says of it: "While the Nam
moth is far inferior to the medium red
as a hay crop, and, therefore, we do
not advise it's cultivation where n hay
crop is the main object, it has very i'm
portant advantages to the farmer who
has exhausted the fertility of his land
1 by long years of cultivation in wheat,
corn, oats and fax and who is not in
shape either to buy live stock or to
provide the shelter necessary to keep
them at a profit. In such cases as
this We advise the sowing of Mann
moth clover with every crop of spring
grain, even though it be the intention
to plow it up the succeeding year.
1t comes in bloom two or three weeks
later than red clover, and on this ac-
count is often sown with the red,
when intended for pasture, as it pro-
longs the season considerably."-Indi

Sour Meal Kills Chicks.

The common custom is to keep q
dish Of Indian meal mixed up, and two
or three times a day a lot is thrown
down to the chickens. If they eat II,
well and good; if not, and the chances
are they will not. they having become
tired of one single article Of diet, set
before them day after day. it stands
and sours. If a quantity is thus found
uneaten, the next feed is likely to be
light one. and the chickens, driven by
hunger, finally devour the sour stuff;
the result is cholera, OIL some other ia.
tai disease, sets in and their owners
wonders why my chickens are dying
off" In our own practice we find that
small quantities of varied food, if given
TO the chickens often, produce vastly
better results than any other method
of feeding.

Wheat From the Start

The best lot of chickens we evo,
raised were fed on dry grain feed from
the very start. They were in a broods
house and side by side with Other
broods fed on mashes and mixtures a
all kinds. This particular lot had tbs
end brOOder and We're allowed fun
liberty to roam over n large patch ~
woodland. The feed was placed IN
covered troughs, and consisted Of a
mixture of cracked corn and rice and
whole wheat, and this the only food
given. The chickens, having unlimited
range and plenty Of shade, picked m
all the animal and vegetable feed they
required and tackled" the grain feed
when they felt inclined that way. They
grew like weeds and beat the other
pens decisively, although the first three
weeks little or no difference could be
detected in the different broOds. The
unnatural system of feeding and yard,
ing them began TO tell and the natural
method triumphed.

HODes and Fears

1T so happened that for the evening
OH which occurred the events related
i'm our last chapter-an evening which
is still proceeding, being the II on
which Tony has promised that he
would make clear his brothers inno-
cence-it so happened. we say, that for
this evening Sir I.0ghlen OAIeara had,
several days before. sent invitations to
a few of his most particular friends.
Those invitations having been given,
could not, by any possibility, be with
drawn; and 1t was doubtful, If
the baronet had felt any desire To
countermand them. since he had been
brought to believe that that which be-
fore had seemed to him MS most UNI
likely-almost impossible. indeed-waS
neither more nor less than Il fact, ana
Sydney was innocent.
He had proved himself II stern judge.
without mercy for the son whom he be-
lieved guilty. while he would have
given the world for but a hope that
the unhappy young mans innocence
might yet be made apparent.
And now. i'll his h,lrt, he did believe
that Sydney was innocent.
He had read truth in every accent of
that heartrending appeal which his son
had made to him; he had read truth
in Tony's bold, u%nflinching eye, in his
earnest manner, and in his confident
bearing.
Tony's holiness, the Baronet had rec.
ognized, was not the bravado Of n man
seeking TO throw aside c~ondemning
proof; but was the noble daring of n
who had faith in a just and holy cause,
But the evidence which weighed most
of all with the Baronet was furnished
by his nephew.
Stanley Claremont's looks and man
ner, contrasted with those OF the broth
er's. condemned him in the eyes Of the
barOnet; and, indeed, the man would
have been a poor physiognOmist who
