Exporting Hay to England.

The hay crop this year is everywhere
very large, and unless some outlet can be
had for ii outside our own country,
extremity low prices are probable. By the
modern process of baling hay it is made
nearly as economical Of space as grain,
and though it will not bring so much per
pound as most grains, the low price it can
be put up at will make it profitable
article to export. Western hay growers
have revolutionized Eastern hay markets
by putting up prairie hay, which can be
cut and punched for s. an acre Putting
it into bales is now a very inexpensive
process and quickly done. There is
already large demand for American hay
in English markets The deficient hay
crop Of England last year made the home
supply less than usual. This year the
cheapness of our hay crop will cause
baed hay to be shipped more extensively
During the month of June the markets of
Great Britain took over 1900 tons Of
foreign hay. Such demand is well
worth our while to supply We have an
unusually large hay crop this year, and the
markets of Great Britain ought to furnish
an outlet for much of it.

State Fair Figures.

Mr.. E. G. Eveeth of Auburn, treas
ur n of the Maine State Fair, says that
the State Fair receipts were $4,000 more
this year than last. The "grab seats
so called, on the grand stand brought
81 5000, the boxes $776.50, the eserved
chairs, $l,l2S.50. In 1897 the unre-
served seats brought $l,333.95 and the
reserved chairs (Which included the
space now occupied by the boxes), ST.
170.25. The City Hall receipts were
$737 80. Last year they were $78250,
while in 1895 hey were $963.50. In
view OF the small returns from the City
Hall exhibit the proposition of discon-
tinuing that feature of the fair will be
considered. The receipts from railroad
coupons in 1897 we're $4,4l6 while in
1898 they were $4,717, with some odds
and ends yet to be figured in. Mr.. Eve
leth says that at present he cannot state
what the society made this year and that
it makes difference what n man means
when he asks what the society made.

Protect the Sheep.

The time has come when the farmers of
Maine must determine for themselves
what is to be the future OF this industry.
Agriculture. like every other line OF
business, rests upon certain fixed princi-
successful, only as these are appreciated
and applied by individuals. The industry,
like the farm. will lapse to decay and
forest growth if left to itself. So to day,
in the general awakening seen in certain
lines, the time is at hand for decisive
action by those who till the. farms and
have faith in and look for the success of
the one industry which alone makes life
possible.
TODAY there is a promised revival of the
sheep industry, the one and only class of
stock which can redeem the pastures,
while bringing wealth to the farmers To
the increase of wool and mutton must the
farmers look Tor the most direct avenue to
larger incomes. This increase is not posi-
BILE under existing conditions. The
laws of Maine, which nominally protect
sheep. serve their full purpose in destroy
ing this Industry. The ravages of dogs
may be in some measure compensated for
unc err the law, but the sheep are mean
while destroyed, wiped out of existence,
and the possibility of replenishing
removed.
Farmers in every section OF Maine who
have attempted the breeding of choice
stock have been forced to surrender
because of the dogs. 1.-THE sheep industry
is worth saving the sheep must be allowed
to live, not only as representatives of so
much property, but more because of their
possible earning capacity as breeders.
Here is factor. not considered by law,
of the greatest possible importance.
There must be constant improvement OF
the mutton and wool product or there will
be loss Protect the sheep by law and
within five years the focks will quadruple
on the farms OF Maine More than this,
these incoming focks will be of better
quality because representing choicer
blood Do no hing for further protection
and the end of the sheep industry is sure
to be reached in Maine in the next decade.
Stimulate the growing of better stock as
individuals may, and the end is thwarted
unless the State, by the strong arm of law,
recognizes the industry, not by special
legislation to encourage but by simply
providing that the sheep may exist
unmolested by dogs. No further
legislation is required. Nothing short of
this will save the sheep industry -jfaine

The Forks.

Rev. George Junkins rendered his res
ignation as pastor of the Congregational
church at The Forks and it was unwill-
ingly accepted and the following resolu-
tions passed, Sunday last, Oct. g.:
Resolued, That this church has re.
ceived the resignation of its pastor, Rev.
Geo. G. Junkins with sorrow and regret,
and accepted 1t with great reluctance.
That during his pastorate Of nearly
two years, by the plainness and spirit
uality of his teachings, the singular
purity and unselfishness of his life, and
his manifest love for the weak and err
ing, while boldly condemning the sin, he
has won the respect of the entire CON-
munty and the abiding love Of the mem.
bers Of this church, and sown much
precious seed that we believe is destined
10 the Providence Of God to spring up
and "bear an hundred fold" in time and
through eternity.
That we heartily recommend him to
any church that desires the services of a
faithful, consecrated and sympathetic
pastor.

Found Guilty.

Friday morning the trial of Elmer
Snowman of Rangeley for guiding with
out license was tried in Pennington.
County Attorney Richards appeared for
the State, and Mr.. Snowman was de-
Tended by Enoch w. Whitcomb, Esq, of
Pennington.
A special drawn jury was empanelled
consisting of Messrs. Weathers, Judkins,
Luce of Pennington, Adams, Brackley,
Sewall, Belcher, Hoyt, Cross, Luce OF
New Vineyard, Thornton and Mason.
Judge Strout appointed Deason Sewall
of Wilton foreman.
The government presented the testi-
mony of three Rangeley Lake guides,
Mr.. George D. Huntoon, Mr.. Frank Fl.
Philbrook and Mr.. c. Fl. Smith, who
testified as to certain acts of guiding
that they had seen Snowman perform.
Early in July he had guided a party, a
young boy, Woodruff, from Boston, and
had guided him once or twice in Sep
TENDER also in the Rangeley Lakes on
fishing excursions
Mr.. N. P. Noble of Phillips testified
that with party of two others he had
been guided by Snowman on an excur-
sion to point on Saddleback Mountain.
The defence presented no testimony.
Snowman did not even take the stand
himself in his own behalf. Mr.. Whit
comb, in defending him, raised the point
that Snowman had not held himself out
directly or indirectly as guide. One,
or two, or three, or four acts of guiding
did not constitute business of guiding,
and therefore he was not liable to taking
out license, and ought not to be liable
for prosecution, unless he was engaged
in the business of guiding.
He said that Mr.. Snowman had been
licensed last year, and had applied for a
license but it was refused him by the
commissioners on the ground that he
had not made the returns required by
law; that the commissioners had not
refused him license on the ground that
he was not a competent guide, but SIM
ply that he had not complied with all
the provisions of the law. But he did
not, from the fact that he deemed the
questions required to be answered in
that report were violating of his person
al rights as citizen, being an investiga.
ton of his personal business affairs that
the commissioners had no right to make.
The case was then submitted to the
jury by Judge Strout without argument
on the part of either counsel. The jury
returned a verdict of guilty.

Literary Notes.

Colonel Theodore ROosevelt's name
has never been more prominently before
the public than it is this month. His
military career is apparently to be fol-
lowed by an equal success in politics !;
but public interest is still strong in the
doings OF the Rough Riders" In the

look, Mr.. Jacob A. Riis, the author Of
"How the Other Half Lives" and Chill
dren Of the Poor" talks entertainingly
is a warm personal friend of Colonel

not few incidents about the life of the
Trough Riders" which have not hereto
fore been made public.

who were in no position to come at the
facts; but Mr.. vanderlip must have them
all right under his hand, and his article,
therefore, cannot fail to be read with

The farmer has little excuse now for
blowing around stumps and rocks or over
them. as either can be removed easily and
cheaply with dynamite cartridges. They
cost less than gunpowder, are quite as safe
to handle and much more effectual. In
almost every neighborhood there are men
who understand the business and would
do the work at fair wages, or would
instruct the farmer how to do it.
We have put in some tiresome hours
driving hand drill into rocks that they
might be broken up with powder, or split
with wedges, drills grown dull, and the
blacksmith shop more than mile away,
when if we could have made hole under
the rock with a crowbar, put in stick or
part of stick of dynamite and exploded
it, we could have accomplished more in a
half hour than we did do in half day
But we knew not OF dynamite then.
