OLD HOME WEEK PLANS.
The westbrook Old Home Week associ-
alton held meeting last evening In the
vestry of the Universalist church. Among
other things a code of bylaws, which
provides that the annual meeting Of the
association shall be held on the second
Monday of May for the election Of Off
GERS, etc., at such hour and place as the
executive committee may determine.
The plans for the observance Of the day
were discussed at some length, but the
general plan suggested at the first meet
ing seems to hold the popular one that
of public meeting In some church or
hall, with brief addresses and music,
should be carried out. II was also sug-
gested that the city council should be
asked to appropriate $500 for the celebra-
ton of westbrook day. Other meetings
are to be held at frequent intervals,
when 1t is hoped 1.-THE attendance win be
larger and that there will be a more hear

WORK IS NEVER DONE.
Horticulture, When Pursued a. q
Business, Requires Close Apple
cation and Hard Toll.

Horticulture, to be profitable, must
persistently be followed. It requires
close application and everlasting vigi.
lance. Insect pests, fungus diseases,
etc., are busy doing their work, in sea-
son and out of season, it sometimes ap-
pears. The fruit grower must meet the
emergencies, apply remedies and COM
bat all foes. If he becomes slack in his
work he may be defeated. There is not
case on record of an orchard or fruit
farm being worked to death or given
too much attention. At the same time.

may not be able to give his fruit trees
the attention of fruit specialist. But
a small orchard and small berry
patch will require no more time and at

efforts, if properly directed, will bear
fruit. We look for greater specializa-
ton in all lines of agriculture, but so
long as we have small farms, and the
number is increasing. we shall have
the farmer who, while he may be spe-
cialist, will grow fruit sufficient for
his own use, and to do this will bring
into exercise both brain and muscle

business, but those who stick to it
through thick and thin ultimately will

A FEW DAIRY POINTERS.

Use great care in turning to pasture.
Give good feeding of hay in the morn
ing and do not leave them out ali
day.
Do not leave the herd out in the
showers. The rains are cold in June
even, and loss will result if careless in
this respect.
Take the world over, there are more
good cows and sensible men than there
are poor cows and fools. The trouble
is to get the wise men and good COWS
together. When we do this fewer men
will be complaining that "dairyin' don't
pay"
Sour milk may not be relished quite
so much by calves at first, but it is q
good thing to raise calves on if they
cannot have it sweet invariably. A
change of food from sweet to sour &C.
casionally is detrimental to growth,
and often begins scours.
It should cost you about seven cents
a day to feed your -$25 a year.

ing, her manure should offset the cost
of shelter and labor. Now, if you. don't
get enough to pay for the feed, don't
keep her.-Farm Journal.

small enough to meet the require
ments of the fastidious table deco
rator, and besides is exceedingly
handsome in appearance. The skin
is almost as glossy as satin, and the
creamy white ground color with a
brilliant pinkish blush on one side
shows off the apple to great advan-
tage.
The flavor is mild sub-acid, the flesh
is almost as white as chalk and very
soft. and tender, yet juicy and crisp
enough to be pleasant to eat. Among
the other good points is the fact that
it may be kept for the Thanksgiving
and midwinter holidays as far south
as Kentucky. The tree is also said
to be very productive and regular

NATIONAL AID NEEDED.
ute Toward Making the Good
Roads Movement 4 Success.

The agricultural department. calls
attention, in a recent circular, to the
fact that 81 states have created labor
bureaus or bureaus of industrial statis-
tics, while but half dozen have high
way commissions with jurisdiction
over road affairs.
The average state legislature is start
lingly prolific in measures for regulat-
ing almost every conceivable BUSINESS
that is carried on within the state.
1t does not. stop with regulating the
activities of mankind, but occasionally
takes shy at the laws of nature, sus-
pending them or repeating them ac-
cording to their own pleasure. Singu-
larly enough, the most important ques-
ton that vitality concerns the indus
trial prosperity of the state-that of
good roads and how to provide for their
constructions almost entirely ig-
nored by the legislatures. Some of
the states whose legislatures put in
their time fixing passenger rates for
the railroads provide nothing but mud
roads on which the farmer must haul
LIS PAONuCtS ~ the market.
The first steps in the Inauguration
OF good roads movement in each state
should be to legalize bureau of high
ways or the appointment of nonpar-
tisan highway commission, whose du-
ties should be to establish a capable
engineer in each county, to systematic
local laws and locate suitable material
for road purposes. The system of
working out road taxes should be
abolished and the poll taxes should be
collected in cash. This, combined with
the principle of state aid, is the only
practical solution of the good roads
problem. In addition to this work on
the part of the state congress should
appropriate funds for the offices of
public road inquiries or the establish
ment of national highway bureau to
cooperate. with the states in educating
public sentiment concerning the i'm
portance of good roads and how to
construct them.-Chicago Times-Her-
aid.

CALVES FOR MARKET.


It is not improbable work to raise
calves for market in localities where
milk and cream are not easily sold at
remunerative prices, and if one goes
in for this object he: can with little
study find considerable to increase his
income. OF course in dairying dis
tricts where there is a good market
for butter and milk this work might
not prove very profitable, but there
are many farmers so situated that it
is impossible to make much from the
milk and cream. There is very little
expense in feeding the young calves
if kept only until they are seven to
ten months old and then sold. Some
times we have found a good calf that
was worth more to us to keep for
breeding purposes than for selling to
the butcher, and we have thus added
materially to our stock. The average
calf, however raised, should bring
from $50 to $35 each when eight or
nine months old. When the calf is
born, instead of taking it from the
mother it is allowed to run with her
until ready for the butcher. Very
. often likely calf in this way can be
sold to purchasers on the lookout for
fine cattle, and they will bring far
more than if sold to the butcher. For
instance, last year we sold one such
animal to a neighbor for $40. The
calf was from a good grade of Short
horn, and it had all the indications
of developing into a good breeding an
imal. 1t was ten months of age and
was we'll worth the money it fetched.
In raising these calves there is lit
tie or no expense or outlay, and the
gain in the few months they are kept
represents nearly all profit. There
will be considerable milk and cream
obtained from the cows even when
the calves are running with them, and
one might easily sell enough dairy
products to pay for the feed of the
mothers if there was amy nearby
market. Those living in good dairy
districts might not find this a profit
able way of handling their herd, but
it goes to show that one need not
be entirely discouraged if the price
of dairy products is way down. Last
year we had ten calves which we
raised until they were from eight to
ten months old, and we sold the lot
for various prices. The total received
was $260.55, which on the whole we
considered paid us pretty we'll: In ad.
dition to this we sold about $50 worth
of cream and milk and butter and
kept large family supplied with all
that was needed of these products.
Another year we shall repeat this op-
Grafton if we cannot get decent prices
for the dairy products, which up in
this country is not an easy matter
