IT PAWS 10 EXPERIMENT

1t pays to experiment in limited way
with new things. 1t is the spice of farm
ing. adds interest, and sometimes re-
suits proiitably. One shonld not be
carried away by single success, nor be
discouraged by single failure. If a
friend finds forage-plant that yields an
immense crop on his farm we should not
Jump to the conclusion that it will do
the same for us, and devote whole
field to it, IL would be safer to test it
ON small scale two or three years be-
fore planting largely of it. 1t may be a
good thing to grow for certain uses,
but worthless for others-the very ones
for which we would need it. 1t may
prove to be quite a profitable crop for
Smith, who keeps large numbers OF hogs,
but worthless for Brown, who raises
sheep chietiy.-Farm Il Fireside.

UNCLE SOlON STILL IN EVIDENCE.
Those of our readers who are not read
ing the sound words of wisdom contain
ed each week in the budget written BY
Uncle Solon Chase and published in IN,
| Boston Sunday Herald, are missing a
great treat. We commend the following
brief extract from his last budget TO ouI
readers. The last paragraph of it is
good enough to come from any ones
pen, and we especially commend it t.
those who think that farm life is some
thing terrible:
The hay crop of Maine that is now
being put into the barn has money
value of millions of dollars. By improv
ed cultivation We cut more hay than VT
used To and don't NOW over so much
ground. IL don't cost so much 10 cul
the increased crop as it did To Gu tth,
smaller crop.
Farmers are not moving out of the
state much. Some of 'em are making
changes 10 get nearer manufacturing
cities, and young men and women are
willing to stay on the farm where con-
ditions are favorable.
The dairy products of Maine amount
TO large sum. There are two butter
factories in this town, one of which with
4 branch at Auburn, pays the farmers
5000 900 year for cream. The cream
checks come monthly, and the women
folks have nothing to do with the cream
only to put the cream check where II
will do the most good. Associated
dairying has eliminated very much of the
hard work from the life of the farmers
wife.
We raise the finest favored sweet corn
of any state in the union. The sweet corn
business is large, and growing larger
and is fairly remunerative 10 the farmer
New sweet corn factories are built every
year. The largest sweet corn plant IN
the state is now in process of construc-
ton in this town. In this state the sea-
son is short, and sweet corn makes such a
rapid growth that the quality is excel
lent.
The potato crop of Aroostook county
is immense, and is known far and wide
FOR its excellent quality. Farmers in
AroOstook have 80 to 100 acre potato
fields.
The apple crop is source of large in
come to the farmers, and the export
demand is increasing and the farmers
are giving their orchards more care and
culture. The prospect is there will be
good crops this year and the price will
be satisfactory. There never was time
when there was so little discomfort among
the farmers of Maine as at the present
time.
Our friends who don't shake the dust
of the pavements from their feet may
regard the slow plodding farmer as OF
not much account, but they should not
forget that if it was not for the man who
makes tracks in the barnyard weeds and
thistles would grow in the city.streets.-

The idea in each and every case seems
to be to do something on your vacation
that you do not have to do every day,
aud there is where the rest comes. Not
in simple listless idleness, but in
change in occupation, and that seems to
be the most rational way to rest, after
all. A person of active temperament
does not want to stop the machine al
together, even for week or two, but
finds more real enjoyment in simply
changing the channel through which his
energies are displayed.
Oxford Democrat. [volume] (Paris, Me.) 1833-1933, 1902-08-12

There is probably nothing more in
teresting than the way different people
obtain rest and enjoyment during their
vacation season. Mr.. Blaine got his
greatest rest and recreation in the quiet
of fishing resort, and Senator Henry
Cabot Lodge has hied himself to des-
ert island, where neither telephone nor
telegraph, steamer nor sailing craft can
reach him, and there, attended by a
single servant and helper, he will pass
the summer.
