Cheap Living.

Now that the potato crop is so short
the question arises, what are poor folks
to eat? Well it is great satisfaction 10
learn that beans are in GOOD supply, and
one vessel has Just brought -. 600 BAGS of
Limas from California. Beans really
possess the great sustaining power and
are therefore, used So generally in the
European armies. Carrots are also a
good substitute, being Vely nutritious.
and fried carrots (atter boiling are very
palatable. Cabbage Will come into IN
creased use and it will be found Il very
beautiful as we'll as substantial dish, and
then it is one of the cheapest articles in
the market.
Another food supply will be found in
the much neglected Indian meal. There
was a time when it was in universal use,
and its neglect has not improved public
health. Hasty pudding or suppaun las
the Indians called iU is very wholesome,
either with molasses or milk. In former
days it WAS the staple food of all New
England, and Benjamin Russell, the once
famous Boston printer, who walked from
Boston to New York to buy a printer S
outfit, says that at every house where he
stopped they gave him this dish, and he
did not get tired of it.
Joel Barlow says he was reared on
hasty pudding, and when he went to
Europe he pined for it. He was grattied,
however, to find a family that had
brought meal from America, and ate of
his favorte dish in Savoy. This led him
to write that capital poem called "Hasty
Pudding" which lives while his epics are
dead. Another appearance of this diet III
literature is found in Brockden Brown S
novel "Ormond, OF the Secret Witness -
The heroine, being extremely poor lays
in a stock of corn meal, and thus goes
through very pinching time. 1t is high
ly probable that the novelist wrote from
his own experience and one may recon-
mend these examples to those who want a
substitute for their favorite vegetable

Monroe Cheese Factory.

One of the local industries in the good
farming town Of Monroe which is great
benefit to the farmers of that section is
the cheese factory which was started as
farmers cooperative association many
years ago, was afterwards changed over
to creamery, but again changed back
to cheese factory and has for many
years been operated by Mr.. Z. Ii. Nealley,
who buys the milk OF the farmers and
operates the factory himself.
The factory opened this season, May
LIST, and will close this season, Dee LIST,
running to a much later date than ever
before. There are now sixty patrons on
its books, the farmers who bring milk all
living within radius of six miles from
the factory. Nearly all of these farmers
have their home diaries fitted up for
cream setting, and when not turning milk
into the cheese factory they sell cream to
the Bangor creameries. Milk is received
at the factory each morning from to s
o clock, and during a short time at the
factory one morning last week several
farmers brought milk, their individual
lots weighing respectively 40, Sc, 5S and
100 pounds The largest patron is Charles
Mitchell, on the Jackson road, some two
miles from the factory whose milk
averages $50 pounds daily. Another
large patron is f. L. Putnam. who is a
neighbor to Mr.. Mitchell. The largest
amount of milk received in any one day
this season was $500 pounds from which
700 pounds of cheese was made. The
supply of milk has dropped off more
than one third now, from what it was at
the height of the season.
This season the entire make of cheese
will be $500, weighing 40 lbs. each. AL
ready 1000 cheese have been sold in
Rockland, Belfast, and points down river
the cheese being sold at three to four
weeks old, and it being difficult to keep
them until this age, so great has been the
demand for them. Some 300 cheese in
the curing room the morning of our call
was sight pleasant to the eye, and most
agreeable to the sense of smell-thel
rich fragrance giving peculiarly pleasant
aroma to the room.
Milk is delivered at the factory from the
farm in five gallon cans, and when full
they contain an average of Is pounds OF
milk. On Tuesday of last week the batch
of curd represented 4, 800 pounds of milk.
But one vat Of the old and familiar ''Wm
Ralph, Utica \. Y. ~ style was used that
morning, although two are used at the
height of the season. The milk is set at
a temperature of IS deg.
The cheese maker is Charles 4. John
son, young man whom We found oblig-
ing and gentlemanly, who has had much
experience at his business. and whose
neat factory gave evidence of his careful
attention to all the details of cheese manu-

The "Bangor Idea'' in Portland.

Especial Despatch to the Boston Herald.
BANGOR, Me-, Oct. }, 1897. The effect
of the death Of Neal Dow upon the plans
and operations of the Prohibitionsts in
Maine is being freely discussed in various
parts OF the State, and special from
Portland says it is believed the passing
away Of Gen. Dow removes the last bar
rler against the adoption in Cumberland
county and all that part of Maine of what
is known as 1.-THE Bangor idea" which is
the Indictment at least once year, under
the nuisance act, OF all liquor dealers, and
the imposing of fine of S1G0 and costs,
thus realizing considerable sum for the
county, instead OF mourning a vast ex-
pense by locking the liquor dealers up in
Jail.
Under this system there are no searches
and seizures, and no imprisonment except
in default of fine. The mere fact of a
mans name appearing upon the records
of the internal revenue collector at Ports
mouth as having the special United States
tax as a retailer or wholesaler OF liquors,
is taken as prima facie evidence that he is
engaged in the business.
This system, which originated in Ban
gor some years ago, and which has gener-
ally been credited to Chief Justice Peters,
has been the financial salvation of Penob-
scot county, and has often replenished a
waste d treasury.
1t has spread to other parts of the State,
and has everywhere been received with
favor, having better effect in restricting
the traffic than the most rigid methods of
prohibition, while imposing heavy tax
upon the liquor dealers, and thus tighten
ing the burdens of other taxpayers.
| Chief Justice Peters, in discussing the
matter, said that the application of this
plan in Portland would mean revenue of
so. 600 year to Cumberland county.

Unpaid Scavengers.

The crustaceans are among the i'm
portant scayengers of the sea and are also
valuable as food for fishes. The collection
of crabs, shrimps, and Holsters forms
large industries all over the world, CON
trlbuting directly to the support of man.
In Delaware the horseshoe crab is used as
guano, while the collection of fossil crabs,
as trilobites, is peculiar industry. The
fresh water craytish produces convection
used as an antacid, well known to chem

our summer fields to insects, all of which
have their special functions and use.
Even the prosecuted flea may render man
service by keeping the drowsy watch
