The next six months business of the
Somerset & Moosehead railroad prom
ises to be the best this road has ever
had for a like period. The location of
the new station at Mainstream provides
excellent shipping advantages for a
large plumber which was impossible un
til the road was extended. Last winter
only temporary structure was put up
to answer for a station and the arrange
ment of the track was not calculated or
expected to make possible anything like
convenience for the shippers. The time
was too limited to make possible upon
the part of the company any better
facilities, but the past spring land across
the highway from where the temporary
station buildings were built, was graded
and good sized freight yard made by
filing to depth of several feet section
of swampy land. At present a crew of
men are at work laying rails and ar
ranging the depot yard for the best
accommodations of those who do bus!-
ness with the company. AS soon as the
tracks are all laid a new station will be
constructed of sufficient size to make
possible the handling of freight to the
best advantage.

increase having been in California. where
the crop is estimated at 300 cars. against

Other Pacific States report fair crops, Tex

New York and Pennsylvania good crops
and Vermont very large crop, In the
middl- Western States the drought has re-
duced the ]ield and Eastern honey is be-

kets are New York, Philadelphia and Bos-
ton. 1t is said that in years when the
crop is good it takes 100 carloads of fifteen
tons each, or 900 900 pounds, to supply

amounts OF foreign honey sent here, ia

Monkeys

"All well-all happy-lots
of fun. That is the regular
report from the monkey cage
of Barnum's Circus ever since
the keepers began dosing the
monkeys with SCOTS Emul-
sion. Consumption was carry
ing off two thirds of them
every year and the circus had
to buy new ones.
One day keeper accident
ally broke a bottle of SCOTS
Emulsion near the monkey
cage and the monkeys eagerly
Tapped it up from the floor.
This suggested the idea that it
might do them good. Since
then the monkeys have received
regular doses and the keepers
report very few deaths from
consumption. Of course it's
cheaper to buy SCOTS Emul-
sion than new monkeys-and
that suits the circus men.
Consumption in monkeys
and in man is the same disease.
