Parks Bros. of Pittsfield, hay buyers

Parks Bros. of Pittsfield, hay buyers,
write the Turf, Farm and Home as fol-
lows: By driving through many towns
in Somerset, Penobscot and Waldo
counties we have learned that this year
many of the farmers waited and let the
good hay season go by the first two
weeks after the Fourth of July, and cut
their hay in the rainy weather or dog
days weather, when it is practically
worthless. Can't you farmers see that
it is for your interest to cut your hay
early every year? The Maine shippers
have the western hay to contend with,
and almost invariably the farmers
throughout that section of the country,
are but one week in cutting their hay,
and they get through haying when the
"Timothy" commences to blossom for
the first time. Is it to be wondered at
that our Maine hay sells at low figures
in market? The cost of the cutting of
the hay is nearly double loss in the
price that it is sold at, less than it ought
to bring. 1t is too late this year for the
benefit of the farmer who has been neg
ligent in cutting his hay, but it is worth
while to paste this up where you can
look at it every time you go into your
barn.

the changes to be made in the Union
depot for the better accommodation of
the negroes.
Ihe plans were yesterday submitted to
the Railroad Commission for approval
and they have ordered the work to be
begun at once. The change will cost
the railroads about $1,000.
1t consists in putting up the present
baggage room for the negroes and using
the old negro waiting room for baggage
Though this is great Improvement
on the present arrangement, and ought
to be perfectly satisfactory to the ne
groes, it is not. They ask that the Ia
dies waiting room be kept as it is for
white women, the present mems waiting
room be given to cOlored ladies. and the
baggage room be used as a waiting room
for colored gentlemen and white men.
Neither the railroad officials nor the

an arrangement.

This motion was promptly Over-ruled

to the punishment to be imposed upon
the convicted corporations.
Though the Southern wanted the pun

will hardly he done, as the minimum
fine is fixed at 1000, and the maximum
at $1,000, the penalty will certainly have
to be as much as $1,000.
