| of abandoned farms. investigation
has shown that such places belong.
for the most part, to two classes.
sorbed into adjoining ones. Second.
harms where the conditions were
never favora BILE to successful agricul-
| ture.
1t is the latter class of abandoned
farms whose disposition constitutes
a problem Of no little interest and
Importance. Why not follow the New
Hampshire plan and advertise for
summer homes. While we cannot
offer the beautiful mountain views of
| the Granite State. we surpGss it III
rugged sea coast and cool breezes and
the sporting attractions of lake ana
forest. The careful preservation and
advancement of our fish and game in
tcrests have given us a splendid
vantage ground in the inducements
nually coming to our State in in
creasing numbers. Why cannot some
of them be persuaded to purchase and
utilize for summer homes some of our
abandoned farms? Is not this mat
ter of sufficient Importance to com
mand the careful attention of the peo-
pie of our State? 1t would certainly
seem as if a careful listing of the
aba ndoned farms of Maine with
careful description of the surround
ings of each might be used for adj
vertising purposes with beneficial re-
suits.
One plain fact may as well be un-
derstood at the start. for it has been
thoroughly demonstrated in New
Hampshire viz. that a movement of
this character will be wholly lacking
in the eXuberant features of a land
boom-at least so long as the supply
of available farms is considerably in
excess of the demand. The hard
headed business men Of the cities are
abandoned farms. If the owners seek
to exact more than a fair price they
will make no sales. Most of the old
abandoned farms that have been sold
for summer homes in New Hampshire
have, as matter of fact. brought
low prices; but the owners, who no
longer lived upon them or had a use
for them, have been benefited by
such transfers. even when the sums
stances. considerably less than the
original cost Of the buildings alone.
Farm buildings. however. dcteoriate
very rapidly when left unoccupied.
Undoubtedly. when an abandoned
farm is sold for a summer home the
community where it is located will, il,
most instances. profit more than the
former owner-who will often consider
himself fortunate, under the stress of
circumstances. to secure fraction of
what it originally cost him. There are
few good farms unoccupied in Maine
today: but the conditions OF agricul-
ture are not such as to offer induce
ments for men to attempt to make
livings from poor ones. Most any in
dustrious man can sell his labor in the
centers Of population for more than II
would bring him on most Of the exist
ing bona ffde abandoned farms" of our
State. Such places, therefore, must
have attractions for men who have
money to spend rather than those who
have it to earn.
If the worn out. non-productive, and
unoccupied farms of Maine, many of
which are admirably situated for the
purpose could be utilized. as has been
so largely the case in New Hamp-
shire for the summer homes Of city
residents, it would solve a pcrplex
| ing problem. and add not little to the
prosperity of our State.

Death OF the Bio Moose.

Down from the north the gray wolf came.
The tall moose, and fallow deer.
They heard the Red Man had left the
trail
And there was little cause for fear.
Long had the hunters left the trail,
The trapperS had gone before.
And the bear trap beams were rotted
down,
Raced level with the moor.
The tall moose trotted the trail by night,
BY river and creek he came.
Shy of the track of the Looping wolf,
Now keen from hunger and pain.
Often he breasted and swan the ford,
And doubled its granite bed.
His mate lay close in the tangled swamp
And the calf moose call he feared.
He had Coursed far, outrun the pack,
And outwitted the gray VOLTS game.
When fast light pierced the night,
And thunderous challenge came.
Down swung his head, avenging borne,
His mighty antlers swayed,
Challenging death the night express
AS il Numbered down the grade.
His forest training IL served him i'll,
His strength his weakness then.
His nobleuess his downfall proved
In the beaten paths Of men.
