Since the Introduction OF the railway
tax bills yesterday, their has been some
figuring ON the probable results of their
operation. The state tax for 1900 on the
steam roads of Maine was s.6S, ,323
Under the existing law, the tax for l9Ol
would amount TO S224, 4S7, the increase
being due to the greater volume OF busi-
ness now being done. The Orange bill
introduced yesterday would make the
taxes for 1901, 1851, $50. IL is understood
that the railroads viii not oppose mo d.
crate increase in their taxes, bat it is
believed that the addition OF over SlOa.

managers as M odeIate increase.

When Ruric came down in the
morning, he found the monk al
ready there and breakfast nearly
ready. But little was said during
the mealtime, for the monk seemed
busy with thoughts of his own, and
Ruric was too much engaged in
studying the strange mans features
and bordering upon the various
doubts and surmises that had enter
ed his mind. After the, meal was
over the monk accompanied the
gunmaker to his shop, and there he
spent some time in examining the
quaint articles Of machinery that
were used in the manufacture Of
arms. :- ~ S. z..ss,:.:, =.s. d .<..=g
Ruric was engaged in finishing a
pair Of pistols, and for some min
utes the monk had stood silently By
his side watching his movements.

work andslaid thepistol down.

To Prevent Abortion in Cows


The Royal Agricultural Society OF
England has been distributing lea6et
to cattle owners throughout Great Brit
ain. Ii will be noted that no medicine
is administered internally, but attention
is directed solely TO prevention By sani-
tation and disinfection. The common
cause Of repeated abortion at intervals
in the same herd of COWS is contagion.
The disease is caused by germ which
multiplies 10 the womb, between that
and the membranes that surround the
calf. The premature expulsion Of the
calf is the result Of the Inflammation and
irritation Of the womb set up by the
germs, but the COW thus affected may
nevertheless carry her calf to full term.
The discharges which come away
from an affected COW, and especially
those that escape during and after the
act Of abortion. contain the germs ID
great numbers and are therefore capable
Of spreading the disease The disease
is probably usually spread by such dis
charges coming into contact with root Of

Views About Orchard Cultivation.

The subject Of orchard treatment is
one having advocates for and against
cultivation 1t is largely a matter Of
soil characteristics. The slope and
depth Of soil must be considered. Where
a soil is but 10 inches deep, underlad
By hardpan or bedrock, there is not
much chance to hold fertility aud mois-
ture If the depth is 80 inches or more
the holding capacity is largely increased.
The soils of the Devouian and the
Silurisn formations are quite shallow in
many places The limestone is CON-
monty deep, the granite and mica schists
rich in potash, and the drift formation
various depths, but in many sections
deep and rich in fertility, SO that trees
will usually be thrifty aud productive.
regardless Of treatment II an orchard
i, on a slope where a cultivated soil
washes badly, it would not be advisable
10 follow clean cultivation altogether.
Surface manuring might be practiced to
maintain sufficient fertility for the trees
to make an annual growth Of 8 to IL
inches
The difference in growth and produc-
iiyeness is largely in favor Of manure
aud cultivation On rather poor soil |
have trees % years old as large and
more productive than others nearby more
than 40 years old. not so we'll cared for
may also be questioned whether or
not rapid growth Of fruit under cultiva-
ton hastens maturity, so that it is more
liable to drop early. or necessitate earlier
picking than where the trees are not
stimulated by cultivation There is no
doubt but that fruit produced by Guilt
walton and fertilization is finer in ap-
pearance and of better quality than that
produced BY the common practice Of
giving trees little or no care .-W. II

1t sometimes happens that some of

overturn a hive or two aud Of course the
bees are aroused and sting the animals.
Perhaps the quickest way to subdue the
aroused colonies is to throw a pail Of

for the animal is to apply blanket kept
