STATE OF MAINE.

Whereas, the County Commissioners of the
County of Somerset in the month of Septem-
Der of each of the years of 1893. 1894, 1895
and 1896, as provided by law and especially
by Section 80 of Chapter of the Revised
Statutes Of said State, by their board made
an actual inspection Of all the County Roads
in the township and tract of land in said
County of Somerset, No. 1, Range s, called
West Forks, and found and adjudged at each
and all of these separate examinations certain
roads therein defective and not then in good
repair so as to be safe and convenient for
public travel, and therefore at each of the
several examinations made an estimate of the
amount needed to put the said defective roads
in said West Forks in repair, said estimate as
required by law being made at each of the
several examinations of said roads by said
Commissioners with regard to and especially
for the year beginning on the first day of
January after each separate examination as
aforesaid, to wit for each of the years of
1894, 1895, 1896 and 1897, said estimates
being the sums severally set down opposite to

The statement is made that o6 Maine

The statement is made that 66 Maine
bred horses were sent out of Maine from
the Auburn station of the Maine Central
alone, from Feb. 7, 1893, to Feb. Io.
1898, which cost their purchasers the
handsome sum of $4,000, Commenting
upon this fact Pro. Thompson in Tnrf,
Farm and Home of March says: "This
will be surprising to many men right here
in Maine who have no idea apparently
that twenty-five thousand dollars worth
of horse flesh has been sold and shipped
from the state in the last three years, and
they will awake to the fact only when
there is a cry of shortage and they have
nothing to supply the demand. The
shrewd breeder, however. the one who
has wisdom enough to read the signs of
the times, and to prepare for the newt
able, will quietly lay his plans to have
something on hand when the time comes,
that he can turn into good, ready money.
Then his improvident neighbor will look
at him and say, "What lucky man So
and So is" "His dish is always right
side up" ect., ect., when it is simply a
pure matter of business, and business
only. The merchant thinks he sees a
promise of a rise in cotton goods, in
sugar, -four or any staple article for which
there is always demand and he invests
largely, so as to secure the profit. Why
should not the farmer and breeder be as
far.seeing.
