The farmers of Maine and of the
country generally are probably but
little interested personally in automo-
biles. They view them as machines
of locomotion that are for people who
reside in cities where smooth pave
ments are at all seasons available.
But If the report that comes from
Colorado is true, it is possible that the
farmers of this country are to become
more interested than any other class
in the automobile. The reason Of
such a possibility is found in the fact
that Colorado man is said to have
invented an automobile for the use of
farmers. 1t is machine which may
be operated by gasoline or stored
electricity, and it is adapted to
ploughing, seeding, cultivating and
hauling loads over the toughest and
steepest roads. 1t is one of the
possibilities OF the future that may
revolutionize farming.

How to Polish the Windows.

The action OF the sun, moisture and the
carbonic acid in the air on the soda or
potash in the glass produces an apaque-
nessfnore or less pronounced. To remove
this, wet the glass with dilute hydroch-
loric acid, and after a few minutes go over
the glass with powdered whiting. Pour
the acid slowly into the cold water, using
four ounces of the acid to twelve ounces
OF water Zone pint and a halD. Polish
with chamois or soft paper. 1t must be
remem bered that this acid will attack
metals and should not be allowed to touch
them, nor should the bottle be left open
an instant longer than necessary, as the
fumes are very destructive. - Ladies'

Judge J. W. Dimmick, the Alabama
member of the republican national
committee, who is now in Washing
ton, says of the political outlook:
1.-THE republican nominee for the
Presidency in 1904 will undoubtedly
figure prominently in the con-
gressional campaign of next year.
Thus far there has been absolutely no
sentiment expressed in the South
about candidates, so far as know. 1
do not believe President Mckinley
will try in the least TO influence the
selection of his republican successor,
but inherently, whether he will or
not, his administration is certain to
have no small power in naming the
man so far as the South is concerned.
Mr.. Mckinley has done marvels for
the South since he became President,
and democrats as we'll as republicans
recognize the fact"

Our East BluehilI correspondent writes

! noticed in THE AMERICAN last week that a
certain Irapper caught 100 mink skins in one
season. Query; Did the trapper kill the mink
skins after they were caught?
Our correspondent did OF read the item
carefully. 1t was the trapper's dog and
not the trapper that caught the skins,
and he did not catch 100 skins, but 500
worth of skins. However, this does not
affect his question, and we will answer.
The dog caught the mink skins. Unfor-
tunateiy the mink happened to be inside
the skin when the dog caught it, and was
killed in the dogs effort to shake him out
of it. Ii the mink had left his skin at
home, his life probably would have been
spared. II was the skin ana not the mink
that the trapper wanted. The catching
of the mink WAS merely incidental to
catching the skin.

The Wanderer.

Upon a mountains height, far from the sea,
/ found shell,
And to my curious ear this lonely thing
Ever a song of oc an seemed to sing
Ever tale of ocean seemed to tell.
How came this shell upon the mountain height?
All, who can say
Whether there dropped by some too careless
hand
Whether there cast when ocean swept the land
Ere the Eternal had ordained the Day?
Strange, was 1t not far from its native sea,
One song it sang
Sang of the mighty mysteries of the tide
Sang of the awful, vast, profound, and wide
Softly with echoes of the ocean rang.
And as the shell upon the mountains height
Sings of the sea,
So do l ever, leagues and leagues away
So do ever, wandering where may,
Sing, o, my home-sing. o, my home, of thee.

Hancock county farmers, in common
with those all through eastern Maine,
are rejoicing in the prospect that this
years hay crop will be the biggest for
many years. The conditions are all favor
able, they say. The grass roots were not
frozen last fall because of the early snow
fall. The ground is full of moisture, and
the heavy rains have carried off nearly all
the snow. 1t is expected that all the crops
will be heavy, and that most of them will
come earlier than usual. The AMERI-
CAMS correspondent at North Penobsc
writes: "Grass has an early and strong
start, and stock will be turned to pasture
at leas. week earlier than usual, which
will materially help out the shortage on
hay"
