COTTON.

One Of the most profitable crops
should have the attention of the
people Of these islands more than it
does. The soil best adapted for
the raising of this crop is sandy,
loamy and. deep limy soil; also
heavier soils if supplied with lime
and substances producing humas.

With carefully planned rotation
of crops, and liberal fertilization,
the cotton lands will not deterior-
ate. An application of few hun
dred pounds of commercial fertil-
izer often makes all the difference
between profitable crop and
total failure.

The Office of the silver mining COM
pany was given to the Ladies' aid society
by Mr.. Freeman, of Cherryfield, provided
they would move it away and have it
renovated. The land for the building
was promised them by William Guptill,
and preparations for the house moving
began.
The building is 20 10 feet, and to
move it half mile over hills and hollows
was no small undertaking, but under the
management of Fullerton Whitaker with
his corps of assistants, success WAS GER
tain. Teams were arranged for by the
ladies. and Monday, Jan. A, four yoke Of
oxen and three span of horses were ready
for the pull early in the day.
The word was given, and one section OF
the building began to move. 1t was an
imposing sight when the fourteen animals
with their burden crossed Guptill's lot at
a brisk canter and yet pulling hard, re-
minding one OF a great float in Mardi
Gras parade.
After many obstacles were overcome the
first section was placed in position.
Though it was late, a determined effort
was made to put the other section in po
sition. But the mud! After one or two
mishaps this section was left two-thirds
of the way, and he teams cared for over
night. Tuesday dawned with January
thaw in earnest. Nothing daunted, W or k
began, and though the mud was deep, the
work was accomplished.
Much credit is due the men of Goulds-
boro in thus helping this work. There
are very few who did not take part. Much
credit is due the generous men who gave
the use of their teams and their own
time. There were from Gouldsbor
James Libby, oxen; Calvin Tracy, oxen
Reuel Tracy, oxen; Foster Bunker, oxen
Ernest Whitaker, horses; from Steu ben,
Harrison Elliot and Fred Baker, with
horses. The men remained with their
| teams to he finish.
! The building is moved, the clouds of
| battle have broken away, and white
winged peace reigns once more. The
ladies of the aid society and their friends
furnished dinner each day for the wor kers
at Fullerton Whitaker's.
