Pins Raised on q Bottle.

J. c. Smith, a weli-known farmer on
Route 3. out of Kingman. is somewhat OF
a nurse Recently he tried to buy large
SOW from a neighbor. but the man would
not SELL The sow had nine pigs and died
the day Of their birth and Mr.. Smith
bought the pigs for a song and went to
town and got a nursing bottle. In few
days he was able to wean the pigs and
now they are the finest in his herd. This
is not the first time this has been done,
but 1t is quite feat. nevertheless, de-
clares Western Life. 1t is often necessary
to raise calves on bottle, but nine pigs
must have certainly kept Smith busy.

tailest poles and fastened e very fine
wire to one OF the lines. allowing II t.

tying IL to the pole about half way down.

THE BANGOR PLAN.

Saloons Still Wide Open in the Queen City.
DESPITE the warning of Justice Spear of
the Supreme Court, and the double fines re-
Gently imposed, the status of the ''Bangor
plau'' does not seem to have been visibly
affected, and practically free rum is the
ru]e. 1t is said that hardly half a dozen of
the 234 dealers in the county have closed
their places, and that that there are several
cases where parties were let off on condi-
ton that they should go out of the business,
but who have kept on selling. The U. S.
licenses expire on the 3Oth of June next,
and most of the dealers hope they will be
allowed to run undisturbed until near that
time. This will enable them to gather into
their tills goOdly share of the earnings
of the woodsmen and river drivers during
the past season. The Bangor correspondent
of the Boston Globe, who furnishes the fore
going facts, says: 'No step has been taken
to enforce the law since the adjournment of
the court. Neither the sheriff, police nor
temperance people have made the first move.
In former days there was more raiding and
Sunday selling was looked after much more
closely than it is nOw."
