Will Be Stocked With
Cattle and Sheep,
Proposed To Extend Project to
Abandoned Farms.

Ellsworth, September s0.-A project
Of importance which has for its object the
making OF Maine beef. pork and NUT
ton raising state. has advanced to such q
point that It's promoters already look
upon It as assured. In brief It Is pro-
posed to establish an immense stock farm
or ranch which will be stocked with cat
tie, sheep and swine. For the purpose,
"a, eco acres of land in Washington county
have been secured. This land lies in the
towns of Cherry field, Debloise, Columbia
and Township No. IS. and embraces an
extensive plain or high table land from
800 te 400 feet above the sea level. There
is In tho tract ons plct Of 20, COO actes on
which there Is not rock or tree and
the whole piece can be cultlvat d wits
a steam gang plough as Is use1 In t1e
West. The soil is mixture of clay and
loan. Where 1t has been cultivated, it has
proven very productive What first at
tractsd cattlemen to the place IS favor
able for cattle raising. was spsoies of
winter grsss which grows in great
abundance and which will afford grazing
for cattle early Ia April or two moE tbs
earlier than on tho Maine seaecast, This
grass Is found In quaint tbs In no ether
part of Maine. There is also In the tact
aft7 miles of 1T cams, which would fur
nish an abundance CT water for stock.
The work of stlcking the ranch will be-
gin as soon as possihls. and within three
years, say the projectors, there will be
10, eco head CT cattle on this ranch. But
the plan does not ttop here.
1t is proposed also to redeem tAe aban-
doned and Impoverished farms OF Maine
ind frcni the Washing ton ty ranch
stock as many of them rs will support
cattle. When the owner of one of these
farms cannot afford to pay, the farm will
be stocked by the cattlemen and pay
taken in cattle raised.
United States Secretary Of Agriculture
Wilson, who has devoted much time to
the study of the abandoned farms of New
England, has given this project his en-
dorsement and will soon send commits
sioner to Maine to make an inspection Of
some of the farms and report as to the
adaptability of the soil to stock raising
purposes. Some work In this direction
has already been done and the reports
were favorable. The men interested In
the project are New York and Western
capitalists now interested In cattle rails
ing In the West. They have an abundance
of capital at their command. IL is not
proposed to establish competition with
Western cattle but rather to Greats
producing station nearer the Eastern
markets.

Tbe Dreyfus brothers alighted on the

who inquired II they could have private
room. A waiter replying In the affirma-
tive, the brothers entered room and
ordered two glasses of milk, while NJ.
Viguier and the policeman remained
outside at the public bar. Enquiry was
then made concerning tho Bordeaux train
which they were informed left at s. IS q.
m. All four then entered a first glass
compartment in which there were already
other passengers. 1t was intended, by
thus refraining from any attempt to
secure privacy to avoid exciting curiosity
and this, apparently succeeded. NJ.
Viguier and the policeman only want as
far as ths first stop, whence they returned
to Nantes to catch the 1918 p. M. express
for Pnris. leaving the brothers to contin-
ne their journey alone. 1t Is believed the

Its own inferences.
Chief Engineer Birdsal1 was another

plan appeared feasible to him, but he
declined to answer whether he thought
such q contract would be of benefit to the
city.
Gen. Charles B. Coils, formerly COM

having had the Ramapo company's
