More Of Fact and Less Of Fancy.

Good old Davenant, some two hum
bred odd years ago, thought he was
imparting a choice bit of wise advice
when he wrote: Since knowledge is
but sorrows spy, it is not safe to
know ROW much more sensible was
Pope when he exclaimed. What can
we reason but from what we KNOW
Fortunately Popes idea of it has be-
come the generally accepted one of
those foremost in modern progress.
One is reminded quite forcibly of this
of committees to the meetings of the
State Grange in this city. We would
commend a perusal of those to our
readers. There is in them not only
an abundance of sound sense, but no.
ticeable lack of phrases dictated in the
interests of sound rather than anything
else. From the State Master down
there is an evident desire to impress on
the members the necessity of first as
pertaining facts before forming conclu-
sions: to first know what is wanted in
legislation or otherwise before raising
a hue and cry More of that sort of
spirit throughout the country in the
past few years would have prevented
much of the trouble arising from the
mere notion that the price of wheat was
in some way dependent upon the price
of silver. 1t could easily have been
disproved at the start by thorough in
vestigation Of the matter but this was
not done and a good many were greatly
puzzled because, owing to natural con-
ditions, wheat commenced to ascend
the scale of prices and silver continued
to go down. II the farmer is to keer
his reputation for practical. hard sense
he must know. not guess: he must be
versed in the questions he would lay
before the public and thoroughly
understand the facts bearing upon leg
islation ne would ask at the hands O
legislating bodies.
Another equally gratifying DISPOSE
ton on the part of those making re
ports and addresses at these meeting
is that of looking at conditions as the,
are. Instead of lamenting, over fancie,
ills of the farming communities tho,
speak with gratitude of blessings tina
y nave been vouchsafed to them: instea,

We have to our credit, 42o, 900 sea
salmon eggs at the United States
hatchery at Orland.
The white perch is food fish con-
stantly growing in favor. Some have
been caught during the year of over

The black bass, enemies to the pick
erel are in demand for distribution. but
We do not recommend a wider distribu-
ton at present.
Regarding the black game and caper-
cailzie, the report says: These birds
known in the Swedish language as
'orri' and tjader are said to be very
fine for table use, and are pecuriarly
adapted to the climate of Maine. After
consultation with our Swedish friends
and Hon. w. w. Thomas. Jr.. whose
long residence in Sweden had given him
an opportunity to study them. We de-
cided to import few of each variety.
In 1895 three males and four females of
each kind were ordered.
A part of the black game has sur
vived. as their notes are heard in the
forest where they We're liberated. One
young bird of this seasons Matching
has been seen.
OF the capercaiZie we have little to
say. as their habit of going into the
deep forest has doubtless been the RED
son for their never having been seen.
except in one instance. The people OF
the Swedish colony are very much in
terested. and they gave grain to the
birds. which has evidently been very
much appreciated. for the birds have
been seen eating il.
The partridge is one of the best game
birds in the world. and is indigenous
to Maine. Every effort should be made
to protect them in close time. But for
their destruction by foxes they would
be very numerous.
