A New Weather Prophet.

The trusting public may no longer
be compelled to rely on the tickle
ground hog for a determination OF the
ever absorbing question of when the
cold weather of winter will end. The
prairie dogs of Lincoln Park. Chicago,
have taken up the burden of forecast

Information whenever the severity of
the winter shall have broken. The
park keeper announces that. for the
first time in thirteen years, these lit
tie animals have come from their
holes in January, a sure indication
that the cold weather is gone for the
year. It may yet develop that the lit
tie rodent will suffer severely from
frosted toes before he can revel in the
warm sunshine and balmy breezes.

A Western Reform

The farmers of some of the Western
states are again talking up the subject Of
cooperation. If they would only take
some positive action in this matter instead
OF eternally talking about il something
practical might result Spasmodic Efforts
have been made by the farmers to protect
their interests. but they have met with in
different success. partly because they start
ed from wrong premises and partly because
the men at the head OF these movements
were inexperienced.
Between the farmers and the consumer
there is a long chain of middlemen. all
combined and experts in their line, who
exact big profits ip bringing the grain from
the farm 10 the consumer and it is evident
that movement having for is aim the
elimination of useless expenses must be
conducted by men conversant with these
various agencies represented on CONNER
cial Exchanges and elsewhere. and not by
persons who have no experience along
these lines.
If these evils are ever to be corrected 1t
is more than evident that the farmers must
have an organization Of some kind where
they can act in concert on all questions
that effect their veal or woe We hope
that this Dakota movement may succeed,
but must be pardoned for exprs sslng a
doubt. They must be pinched lipl:
more before they will lake no d OF this re-
form in earnest.

Peaches I'm Maine.

II any one had told the average Maine
farmer five years ago that peaches would
be raised in Maine this year that would
equal in size, fl lvor and productiveness the
finest grown in Delaware he would have
been looked upon as visionary and a
crank. This, however, is the actual fact
There is peach belt in Maine that to all
appearances is just as favorable for the
growth of that fruit as any spot in the en-
tire South. This belt may not be an ex-
tensive one, and it is doubtful if its prod
ucts will ever have any perceptible effect
on the market, but the fact still remains
that they can be grown here and in abun-
dant quantities The last two years have
seen a wonderful development of this in
dustry, and more than one family have this
year raised all they needed for their own
use. Some of the finest peaches We have
ever seen have been brought to this Office
within the last two weeks and these sam
piles have all been grown in the immediate
vicinity of these cities. The fact has now
been demonstrated that they can be prof
itably grown here, and we look to see a
great development of the business in the
future. If Maine can raise her own peach
es it will be another link in the chain that
is being forged for her future prosperity.
