NO CHANGE IN DELIVERY.
Change to Winter Train Service Does Not
Affect Postofiice Nail Arrangements.

The announcement Of the change Of
the time of trains and service on the
Maine Central Railroad has caused
considerable inquiry relative to the
postal delivery. The ARRANGEMENT of
the railway post offices and the time
Of trains carrying them is so near that
of the service which has been given
through the summer that there will be
no changes made in the street delivery
of the Augusta post office. and the
same changes that were made in the
routes. October LIST. will continue for
the present.
Under the present arrangement Of
the letter carriers, every effort is be
ing made to sustain the present service
without curtailment: but it is probable
that one or two slight changes will he
made necessary to keep within eight
hours for the winter season. Only such
changes as are absolutely necessary to
keep within the law will be made
AS an example of how the restriction
on the carriers time affects the gener-
al service, is one outlying section of
the street delivery. last week the a"
tual time required to make the deliV-
cries was little more than 3l& hours.
There We're delivered less than 10 pieces
of mail in the whole section and only

Means and Methods Of Farmers in
Aroostook County.
Bank Examiner Undertake at Work CIosino
Case Of Long Standing.

Among the other things that will no
brought up at the next session OF the
Governor ana Council is the Marrarot
Mcintosh case. The ATTORNEYS have stat
cd to the councillors before whom that
matter would be brought IN. that tho,.
are not satisfied with the evidence and
ask for hearing. This has been appoint
ed for the next session of the council
which comes October 80 1t is understood
that there is a great deal of evidence to
be put in so the case will take up more
than the usual amount of time.
The Aroostook farmers are deyotiny
more and more attention to the use OF
farm machinery said e. Il. Weith. who
was at the State House. Saturday morn
ing. At one time the greater part of the
work was done by hand. Although the
farmers could make 4 fair profit by those
methods they learned they could make a
greater profit by the use of machinery in
their work of raising potatoes.
AS result the ground is now pre-
pared by the use of agricultural instru-
monts, the potatoes are planted, the fer
tilizer put in by machines and the hoeing
is done by machines Finally the work
Of harvesting is done by machines The
only thing left for them to do is to pick
UP the potatoes by hand. The whole of
the machinery is not brought by one man
but kind of cooperative work is carried
on. that is, several farmers will club to-
gether and buy machine and thus the
expense for each is lessened.
In speaking of the money made by the
Aroostook farmers Mr.. Weith told an in
stance Of one man who on an 50 acre
farm raised enough potatoes to sell for
$500. The expense Of raising the pota-
toes was $500. leaving him profit of $1,000.
In speaking further OF the work Of the
now beginning to devote their attention
more to stock raising. The conditions
there are most favorable for the work
since there are many swamps that only
need clearing that the sun may get in and
carry on the work. to come out ideal pas
turelands. The advance i'll the price Of
beef and lack of supply in this State has
given quite an impetus to the industry
and the farmers in that section are plan
ming to go into it more extensively than
at the present time.
While the outlook for Zig potato crop
is not very encouraging Yet the prices bid
fair to be good so that perhaps the Aroos-
took farmers will be as well off as though
the crop were larger and the price lower
