In addition to the June meet over
Union park course, Pittsfield. Col. Wax
| ter G.. Morrill, also announces a meet
for August 12-14. with $1,000 in purses.
These are for classes 2.32, three min

ing particulars of both these meets ran
be obtained by addressing Colonel
Morrill,, as above.
| f. +. Harris of Salem, who recently
| bought of N. P. Harris a handsome
chestnut four years-old colt by Alclay-
one, dam by Hines Knox, has just
sold it to F. ]. Pierce of Gardiner
Mass, for $500. Two years ago Mr.
Harris sold colt to Mr.. Pierce for
$500, and the sale above noted was to
mate the first colt and make a pair.
| Many colts take the limb formation
through the same neglect that the feet
take theirs. Everybody knows that
there are cases of toe in, and many
more of toe out. The intelligent man
knows that a little earlier care of the
colt will stop this and produce per-
| feet shape to the limb and foot. When
grazing, the colt throws his weight on
the front limbs, which carries the foot
outward; he sustains himself by TAX
ing this position, and as it will be seen
at a glance, the heels are pointing in
ward and the toe out. And as the limb
is thus shaped the hoof takes on its
growth on the outside, which adds adj
ditional weight to the interior of the
limb. Continual strain of this kind
finally results in the foot growing just
as it is allowed, and the limb taking
the form that it must because of the
constant strain thrown upon it.
A Providence exchange says: Horse
men are more than pleased with the re-
suits experienced by sprinkling the
track at Narragansett Park with oil,
and they are united in the hope that
the experiment will not prove too ex-
pensive to be continued through
out the racing season. During
the past week about $75 worth of
oil has been sprinkled on the track,
and the results have been eminently
satisfactory. Not only does the oil lay
the dust, but it preserves a cushion
over the bed which makes soft and
easy footing for the horses. Another
good feature, and one that shows in
marked contrast to the water sprink-
ling, is the fact that on windy days the
top layer of the track is not spread all
over the town of Cranston. This was
evidenced on Saturday, for though a
strong breeze prevailed that whirled
clouds of dust from highways that
were hardly dry, yet the track was I'M
disturbed, not so much as a particle of
dust rising from it's smooth surface.
After sprinkling the track retains this
texture for days. 1t will be ap-
preciated most of all by the drivers,
who will find pleasure in missing the
usual cloud of dust that prevails, in
spite of a continual sprinkling, while
the race is in progress"

MAINE FARMING NOTES.

The annual sheep shearing at Rogue
Island has commenced, a crew of men
having gone to the island for that pur-
pose several days ago. The proprietor
of the island, F. a. Long, has a flock of
about 400 sheep, and it is expected that
week or more will be required for the
crew to round them up and shear them
Frank Hager, farmer living near
Bear Hill ing Dover, has entered the
business of raising squad pigeons for
the Boston market. At present he has
some 80 pairs of old birds and last week
there were SO young birds in the cot
His breed of pigeons is the Homer. The
raising of young pigeons has proved
quite a profitable industry to many
breeders near Boston and the larger
cities. The squads. which the market
calls for, should be two or three weeks
old. at the age when they are plump
and fat, which almost invariably sell
| in the Boston market at any season of
the year for $3.50 and $500 per dozen.
A. ]. Chase G. Son of Sebec have un-
der cultivation this season between IT'S
and 200 acres of land, which have been
| sowed to oats and seeded down for
| grass. lIcy uStu lOllS VI ltTllllZ-
ers with other dressing. 1t required
700 bushels of seed oats, 60 bushels of
Timothy seed and 900 pounds of AL
sike clover seed. The land is all free
from rocks and in fine condition for the
mower.
| One of the best farms in Franklin
County is owned by George w. Ranger
| of Pennington. 1t is situated near
| Temple. The whole farm consists of
forty acres, but is primarily an orchard
farm. On the farm are 500 or more
(apple trees, nearly all young and in the
| best of bearing condition. The Varie-
ties of apples raised are Golden and
RoXbury Russets, Famuse, Northern
Spies and Kings. These varieties pre-
dominate but other kinds are also
raised Mr.. Ranger is 4 thorough be-
lever in intense cultivation. He also
believes that an orchard should not on
ly be plowed well between the rows of
trees but that plenty of fertilizers
should be used as well. This does not
necessarily mean commercial fertil-
TIERS. Mr.. Ranger bought the farm in
1895 as he was then Obliged to retire
from active business through failing
| health. Everything WIS Ill ii Dau state
of repair. With his accustomed ener-
gy. he at once set to work and the re-
suits of his labor can readily be seen
by anyone calling at the place. The
house, nicely finished inside and out
contains eleven rooms and the barn is
almost eighty feet in length. When
Mr.. Ranger bought the farm. in '95, it
cut about seven tons of hay. In two
years he had doubled the crop, and last
year the farm cut twenty seven tons OF
fine English hay, another triumph of
intense cultivation. In the last -four
years Mr.. Ranger has used over 11OC
bushels of dry hard wood ashes as a
surface fertilizer. One acre was
| cleared from the pasture at an outlay
of $125. From this acre the next yoal
was produced crops selling for $50 ir
. cash besides what was used by the
family.

Standard Apples.


Ihere are several standard market ap-
pies though not a long list. 1t is sur
rric;nr how no,rl,, tho mo io,i+y IF mon
pilSihS no" hcdilS the hdJoilly ol Hieil
agree as to which varieties make up this
standard list These are Spy, Grccning,
po1au,i,, pon D,,,ie E-ina C.r,,,onc+oin
ieii 'ON - iNiiiS' ~ ~
with possibly few others. The list Is
short and one would think that. with such
riyorous selections the surviving varic-
tics ought TO he pretty nearly prrfect.
Yet the fact is that every one who
spaaks of these leading varieties seems to
feel il necessary to charactcrize each one
by its faults, Spy comes too late into
bearing Ben Davis has no quality. Bald
win bears only every other year, Greening
scalds badly and King has an unhealthy
tree, There is no ideal variety. or course
no ono cOuld oxnect that any nOssihlc yari-
ety would meet all rcmiremcntes; but for
modern wh0lcsale market it would seem
as though one variety could be found
which would come nearer perCertion than
any we vet know. if Ben Davis, for OK
annie only had tho uuaIitv of SpitzCu-
burg, or if Spitzenbura only had the thrift
and proliticacv of Zen Davis, then we
would he satisfied. we think
Progress in this matter is necessarily

has heen comnarativcIv little activity in
| the testing and Introduction of new Vari-
cites during the last two decades. 1t has;
been unfashionable (as well as unproflta-
| HIel TO bring ont new sorts of apples. The
| annie prowers have discovered that they
cannot afford TO be continually testing new
annles. and the expcrimcnt stations have
| f6und that their limited tests were of
small value to the commercial fruit grow
At the present time the apple market
is ranidlv changing; and one of the most
fortunate signs of the change, as we view
