Notes from Waldo County Farmers.

From Maine Board of Agriculture Bulletin I
WALDO. We keep few colonies of bees
in movable frame hives. Bee keeping will
pay anyone who understands the business,
in favorable location. We winter on the
summer stands, and seldom lose a swarm
Have plenty of honey for home use and some
to give away Seldom sell any ~. G. Hard
ing.
MoNrvILLE. | think I should like farm
buildings connected, for the reason that it
would be more convenient. In the April
bulletin, l wrote you that | thought the
"corn crop" an eXhaustiv one. MY reasons
for thinking SO are that have planted corn
and potatoes side by side when the soil was
the same, manured the same, except that
commercial fertilizer was used on the corn
and none on the potatoes, and afterwards
got better grain and grass from the land
planted to potatoes than that on which corn
was grown. think farmers who are rails
ing large quantities of ensilage corn are re-
ducing their hay crop, unless they are using
large quantities of commercial fertilizer.
B. f. Foster.
MONROE. 1t is certainly a great con-
venience to have all the buildings on the
farm connected, but the risk from fire is
much greater than it is where house and
barn are separated. A perfect system of
ventilation will keep the air of the house
pure when the barn is in close connection,
but it is safer to have good large space of
outdoor air between the barn cellar and the
house. We're the conditions around city
homes as bad as they sometimes are in the
country, the mortality would be appalling.
With cesspools, sink-spouts, closets and
barn drainage joined in a mighty combina-
ton OF death, it is no wonder that the doc
tors best paying patients are the farmer and
his family. Nothing on the farm 80 much

farm homes of Maine ought not to have so

Entertainment at the North Church

Monday evening May 25th, will be shown
at the North church large number of beau
tiful stereoptcon views of Palestine, Egypt,
and other countries, and Miss Charlotte
Thorndike Sibley has kindly consented to
explain them. The lime-ight used will be
a very fine one. An additional attraction
for the evening will be some recitations by
Miss Georgia T. Burrows of Boston, gradu-
ate of The Boston School of Expression.
The Braintree, Mass, Reporter speaks of
her in the following complimentary manner
''Mss Georgia Burrows made her second
bow to Braintree audience, and, acknowl-
edged as one of the best readers that has ap-
peared here, was received in deserving
manner, but it was only the repeated en-
cores demanded which brought out the YER
satile talent with which she is gifted
Her rendering of the Ragged Man" by
James Whitcomb Riley and the "Family
Band" were considered models of artistic
execution and pronounced by some of the
best judges present beyond criticism. Par
ticularly was the distinct pronunciation of

No Murder at Winterport.
Prof. Robinson Found no Traces of Poison In the
Body Of Robert A. Vinal.

The Winterport murder case came to an
end in the Police Court yesterday forenoon
by the testimony of Prof Robinson OF
Brunswick, to whom the internal organs OF
Robert A. Vinal were submitted for analysis.
Prof. Robinson testified that he had made
thorough examination of the organs, not
only for strychnine but for arsenic and
other poisons, and found no traces of poison
of any kind. The main points of the
case are familiar to our readers, as it was
reported as it progressed before the
Coroner's jury and the Police Court.
There are many elements of mystery con-
nected with the case, principal among which
are the very contradictory stories told by
young Horace E. Vinal. In discharging the
prisoners Judge Rogers stated that there
was a strong chain of circumstantial evil
dence tending to show that a murder had
been committed, but the absence of poison
in the body puts an end to the case. County
Attorney Bowden asked that Horace e. vi
nal be held for perjury, but the Court refus-
ed to do so. 1t is probable, however, that
warrant will be issued on that charge in the
near future.

Practical School Work.

Some time ago The Journal mentioned
the work of Masters Stoney and Talbot ot
the South intermediate School, in drawing
on the blackboard and explaining the work.
ing of the locomotive and stationary engines
The scholars are now being given occasion
al practical lessons outside of the regular
school studies.
Last Thursday afternoon Miss Carter took
| 81 pupils of her division of the school by
rail to Citypont from whence they walked
to the Head of .he Tide, and returned to
the schoolhouse by buckboards. The object
of the trip was the study Of geography, and
the pupils were shown, on small scale, all
| the different forms of land and water except
an ocean and volcano. They found bays,
harbors, rivers, islands, peninsulas, straits,
plateau, mountain, valleys, etc, and made
comparisons between the small specimens
seen and the larger ones of which they were
taught in the books. On the way they re-
ceived, incidentally, lesson ON the wool
industry. At the farm of F. W. Brown,
Esq, they found Esquire B. shearing sheep
and We're shown the animals in full fleece,
those that had been sheared, and the pro-
cess of shearing. A short lesson was also
given them on the process of converting
wool into garments. Friday, in the school,
each pupil read or told of his or her expert
ence and impressions on that trip. The
papers and verbal recitals showed that the
pupils each and all made good use of their
eyes, ears and memories during the trip, and
that a large amount of valuable information
was gained in very pleasant and enjoy
able manner.
Saturday morning Miss Wiggin's school
visited The Journal office and witnessed
the operations of type-setting, distributing
and printing. They began at the case and
followed the processes through the various
stages of type-setting. emptying, proving,
proof-reading, correcting, making up, print
ing and folding and the working of the
different parts of the press was explained to
them. From the questions asked we find
that the pupils took an intelligent interest
i'll all they saw and their papers and talks
on the subject in the school were interest
ing and instructive to their teacher and to
each other.
Other outing trips and visits to manufac-
turing establishments are planned for the
near future.

The Olympic Games.

Messrs. 1. S. johnson & Co., % Custom
House ST., Boston, the proprietors of John
sons Anodyne Lniment, have published a
souvenir of the Olympic games at ancient
Athens illustrated with half-tone plates of
all the competitors from Boston The de-
scriptive story tells of the first games, and
which are supposed to have begun 776 B. c.,
and continued until 1894 A. D. 1t will thus
be seen that the revival is over 1900 years
later. The story is full of interest, and was
prepared by James Shields Murphy, editor
of the Golfer, who in line of continuous SER
vice as a sporting writer is the longest in
the service of any in this country. In the
booklet are biographical sketches of the
american Anne athletes, with what they have
what they won at Athens, making the book
worth keeping for reference. Any one in
terested in athletics of any kind can ind
much to interest them in this booklet, which
will be sent to any address free, by the pub
fishers
