TO STOCK ABANDONED FARMS.
Movement II firing Young Western Cattle

Wood Morris & Co. of Portland. ar
leading a movement to stock abandoned
farms and those practically run down.
The plan is to bring young cattle from
the West, and to fatten them here for the
English market.
Several points would be gained. There
would be a great saving in the cost OF
transportation and the haul would be but
a short one. Then the run down farms
would be practically reclaimed. and bull
up, and in that way a great addition
would be made to taxable proper \ of the
State. IL is thought ;ha, the plan will be
carried through. Great Interest is felt in

1t is often remarked by people who
know how the passenger crews Of the
trains are on one end of route one
night, and on another end another
night. that they should think it would
cost Il great deal for the men to live.
as they must pay double board. 1t
does not cost them much more, how
ever. than the ordinary man who lives
in one place, as they arrange for rooms
on each end. and for meals in such Il
manner, among themselves and the
owners of the hotels or boarding
houses that the expense is but little
more than ordinary. The men who
have homes on one end have only the
other end of the route to care for. At
all railroad restaurants they are given
special rates. and so they manage to
get along without spending much extra
money in the way of board.

Local Matters.
A CORN FACTORY NEEDED.
One Of the Things that Augusta Does Not
Possess.

Now that the corn canning season is
opening all along the line, the thought
suggests itself, why has not Augusta or
some of the nearby cities or towns n
corn factory The season is little
late. this year. so the idea is late in
suggesting itself. but it is nevertheless
an idea that to some towns is of great
value and to the city Of Augusta would
be worth considering. for to place No,-
900 in circulation among the farmers
of the city would be something that
would do no great harm.
Take a ride along the lines of rail-
road in the State and one will see on
every side factories and hand IN hand
with them are the creameries. Augusta
has the creamery, but has not the can
ming factory
The Journal was talking with mei:
who live outside the city, the other
day, in regard to this great industry
and they thought il remarkably odd
that this section did not possess one OF
the factories when in other parts of the
State they are hourishing. Every
where the owners of the factories are
having no trouble in securing the corn
of late years as it is one of the crops
that will bring in ready money and al
the same time leave a reserve to be
drawn from in the way of corn fodder
for the cattle, thus assisting the dairy
department of the farm.
The soil in this vicinity is as good as
any other for the raising of sweet
corn and some of the farmers here
might as well plant for a local factory
as to haul it many miles to the ones al
Readfield Winthrop and other places
The factory would cost but small
sum of money. not more than $1,000
probably. so the Joudnal is Informed
and at the same time ii would furnish
steady employment 10 several hands
during the entire year and to man!
hands during the canning and packing
season. in the fall of the year. AT the
same time it would open up chance
for the farmers to have between SoOVV
and $4,000 in cash left with them each
year 1t would assist the creamery py
encouraging the farmer to keep more
COWS to which they could feed their
surplus corn stalks and thus the city
would be benefited in many ways
