THE. CONCERT.


The town hall was again crowded at
the graduation concert in the evening
The young gentlemen of the graduating
class acted as ushers.
The concert consisted OF music by the
Boston Ideal club, and readings by Miss
Lillian May Kane. The Ideal club was
composed of G. J.. Lansing, director; Is.
+. Shattuck, l.. ii. Galeucia, a. {, Robin
son, a. A. Babb. The music was largely
instrumental, but included several pleas
ing vocal selections The instruments
used were banjos, mandolins and guitars
and the music produced struck respon-
sive chord in the hearts Of the audience.
Mr.. Lansing's artistic performance on the
banjo was revelation Of the possibilities
OF that instrument. His humorous sohg~
brought down the house, and he Wa
forced to respond to repeated eneore-.
The choruses were also very good. The
Ideal club has every reason to feel Hat
tered by the reception it received at the
hands of discriminating Bluehill audi
ence.
OF Miss Kane's reading too much IN
praise cannot be said. Miss Kane Is a

BEETS CAN BE THANKED.

Secretary Wilson of the Agricnl tural Department, has secured ar order from the Postoffice Depart ment permitting the agents of tht Agricultural Department to attact the department frank to packages of sugar beet seed to be sent from growers to the experiment stations throughout the country for analysis. Last spring the Agricultural De. partment sent sugar beet seed to farmers in twenty-seven States. Ii is now tho inten tion to test the beets grown from these seed in the various localities for saceharine strength, and it is desired that this work shall be conducted at the ex- pertinent stations. Under the ar engagements made with the Post office department the officials at the experiment stations will be allowed to send postal franks to all farmers to whom they supplied seeds by the use of which they can send through the use of the mails free of eos, packages of. beets not exceeding four pounds in weight.
 Returns have been received from some of the experimental growths, and Secretary Wilson said that the results were such as to encourage the belief that sugar beets could be successfully grown in almost all the States in the Union. Contrary to his expectation the best reports have been received from the South rather than the North. Beets grown in the vicinity of Richmond, Va, give returns of from 13 to h per cent of saccharine matter, and from the Pecos Valley in New Mexi co, of from IS to 9 per cent. IT Europe an average of l3 per cent i: considered large.
 It is Mr. Wilson's intention tc distribute twelve tons of sugar bee' seed next spring. Heretofore all th, seeds distributed by the departmen' have been procured in Europe. Th' growers in Utah have promised three tons of seed this year, and | Is expected that other localities 1T the United States will furnish par of the supply necessary.

Valorous Cows.

The editor of tho Condon f0r.) Globo saw deed of cow valor that was worth recording as well as seeing. 4 herd q cattle, and among them two COWS, ac- companied by their calves, were graz ing i'll tall dead grass when the calves became separated q little from the rest of tho herd.
 Just then two huge hungry coyotes crept up through the grass, cut off the calves from the rest of the cattle and started in pursuit of them. After run. ming about 200 yards the calves came to high, five wire, barbed wire fence. and, being small, managed to get through it. On the other side of tho fence was an open pasture.
 The wolves quickly followed the calves through the fence and were rap- idly running them down on the other side, when tho two COW mothers discoy. cred what was going on. Each uttered loud below, hoisted hor tail and started for the rescue.
 It appeared to be hopeless chase. for the wire fence intervened. and the SOMS NStc Cel tdiuly huCn LOO large to get through it. They knew well enough that it was there, and could, besides, see it plainly, but both cows plunged together straight into it.
 The watching editor, mortified, look ed to see them hurled back, frightful' wounded, but instead one of the posts gave way under tho onslaught, th- wires sank down, and in another nc. ment the mothers wero on the pasture side of the fence, badly cut and bleed. ing, but still able to charge the wolves successfully and put them to flight.
 Soon the 'ows were licking the res. eued calves effeotionately, and the GOV. otes were bowling disappointed duet from the summit of n knoll near by.

Interesting Facts About the Genesis of
 spools and Shoe Pegs.

SpoOls and shoe Pegs.
 ''Oxfortl county, Me, turns out near- ly all the spools on which the sowing thread of this country is wound '' said a wholesale dealer in such articles to the writer. Tue spools are made from white birch timber, and they are pro. duced by the million in Oxford county. There are many other parts of western Maine, also. where the industry is inn portaut There are numerous sawmills in that part of the state which are kept busy all the year round saving white birch logs into strips I feet long and from 1 to ? inches wide and of the same thickness These strips are sent to the spool factories. where they are quickly worked into spools by the most ingen- ious labor saving machinery.
 The strips of white birch arc fed in- to one machine, and they are not touch cd, in fact, are hardly seen again, until the spools, all finished for market ex- cept polishing, drop out by the bushel from another machine several rods away from where the strips started ill. The spools get their gloss by being rapidly revolved ill barrels turned by machin- cry, tho polish resulting from the con. taet of the spools in the barrel.
 In the backwoods villages of Ok ford county one sees scarcely any other industry but spoolmaking, and every person i'll the neighborhood is in soma way interested in the business. The fac tories have been eating into the Maine birch forests for years, but there still seems to be enough of the timber left ta feed the machinery for many years to come. Hundreds of thousands of feet of logs are cut and sawed into spool tim Der annually.
 Shoo peg factories are also an im- portanb branch of business once peoul- far to Maine, although it has of late been followed to some extent in other eastern states and is spreading to the hard wood forests of northern Pennsyl- vania. Maple is used largely in the manufacture of shoe pegs, although white birch is used at some factories Shoe pegs are sold by tho bushel and are worth all the way from 10 cents to $1 bushel, according to quality. More than Sl50, 000 was received by Maine shoe peg factories last year for goods.
 "A curious and profitable business has grown up i'll the Maine woods near the sawInills in the utilizing of the i'm mense quantities of sawdust by compres. sion. Thousands of tons of this waste material are bought for 9 mere nothing and are pressed into compact blocks and bales, and in this form is finding a ready market for kindling and fuel in eastern cities.
