The extremely high price of corn fed
beef prevailing at the present time is
greatly stimulating the trade in grass
feed cattle. As result beeves are being
hurried forward from the ranges in un-
usual numbers, in a half fattened condi-
ton, to meet the demands of trade.
These are the cattle that through ordi-
nary channels would have gone into feed
ers' hands to be finished on the present
growing corn into prime beef for the
trade of next season. The market for
feeders, therefore, will be eft that much
short next fall which will in turn tend to
keep up the high prices on corn fed cat
tie. There is promising outlook for
well-fattened cattle. Maine farmers
should keep an eye out for their oppor-
tunities.

Preparations are INV being made
by Mr.. Jones, the expert oil driller,
to start work on the we'll Of the
T'Chetimachas Oil Co., on the
DeIhaye plantation, at Clarendon.
All the necessary machinery has ar
rived from Beaumont and a force OF
men are now busy getting every
thing in shape preparatory to begin
ming work without delay. Mr.. Jones
is an expert driller as his work in
Beaumont and Jennings will show.
After carefully surveying the field
he was more than pleased with
the indications for a gusher and
at once made arrangements to
contract for the boring of we'll.
Mr.. Jones informs us that the
indications for oil at Clarendon are
identical as those on Spiadle, Top
where he assisted in bringing in
seventeen gushers, and at Jen nings,
where he brought in three wells and
is now interested in boring another
one and he is confident in bri 1ging
in the first gusher for tue Parish OF
St. Mary. Let US all hope whc't he
prophesies will come true, as 70 oil
we'll so close to Franklin would help
wonderfully to build up the town, it
would also develop the mineral and
agricultural resources of the Parish
and in few years St. Mary would
be second to none in population and
wealth.
