houses were connected by the farmers
phone and those at Mr.. Saxton's en-
joyed the music as much as those at
Findell's house. The fact is mentioned
to show how farmers can be brought
into closer social intercourse by having
phones, and then there is the value of
phones as means of keeping in touch
with the markets and calling up neigh
bors or summoning the family doctor
when he is wanted in a great hurry.
Only last week a certain farmer living
on the new line and who of course has
a phone in his house, had two big
loads OF potatoes to haul to market, but
ne was in no special hurry to do so.
He called up the buyer and was in
formed that he could get so cents for
his potatoes, but the farmer thought
he ought to have 81 cents aud a short
pleasant chat over the wire did the
business. If he had been in town with
the two loads and had asked the addi-
tional two cents the buyer would have
given him the laugh. The farmer who
does not put phone in his house will
miss many opportunities of lettering
himself.
Next year the system will be extend
ed through to Blue Hill and Glendor-
ado to St. Cloud Mr.. Walker says
that the farmers in his section are
greatly interested in the new line and
will give it all the encouragement pos
sible.

Chas. Babb of Spencer Brook says he
raised only 1000 bushels of potatoes
this year. He puts the yield at $50
bushels per acre. More potatoes were
raised in his section this year than
last. Rye is raised more than any
other small grain in his section. Corn
was a good crop this year and with

The miners in the southern part of
sub-district No. 5 have declared a strike,
and all miners will be asked to quit

that several of the railroads will have

front in the counties of Belmont, Jeffer-

President D. H. Sullivan stated that
the operators could not go before the
public with their grievance and that il
the strike continues the miners will
make a public explanation of their posi-
ton. He hoped the strike would not
continue. OF the six districts iii the
State the miners received concessions
in five from the operators over last
years scale. President Sullivan will
make his headquarters during the strike
at the Belmont Hotel, in Bridgeport.
