MAINE FARMING NOTES,

II. A. Dyar, of West Freeman, who
has been in the West for the past two
months, has bought and shipped to
Winona, Minnesota, about 10000 sheep.
Mr.. Dyar thinks that people live far
better and take more comfort in Maine
than in the West.
Who thinks it doesn't pay to keep
cows? H. F. Stevens of Oakland sends

f. B. Sprague, one of Bowdoinham's
most successful farmers reports that
the past season has been an excellent
one for him with nearly all of his
crops. He has a farm of about 230
acres and two green houses one of
which measures 100 by 20 and the other
GO by 16. This year he raised about
5000 heads of celery, two acres OF
sweet corn, 1000 tomato plants, a large
number of squash, beets, turnips. cab
bage and other vegetables as well as
many flowers and bedding plants. He
is not at the present time doing much
in this line and will not begin to until
early in February when he will COM

S. II. Beal, who is located on Hilton
Hill in the town of Cornville, but less
than three miles from the Skowhegan
post-ofIice has become renowned as one
Of the leading orchardists in Maine.
He has 1900 flourishing trees over 1000
of which bore choice fruit this season.
While he grows some fall fruit, his
speciality has been the Baldwin. this
season raising 800 barrels of this varie-
ty alone, out of total of 700 barrels
or POO bushels, gathered in the pink
of condition, requiring four men seven-,
teen days to gather them. A young
orchard of. 500 trees set out five years
ago. all of the Ben Davis variety, bore
a small quantity of fruit this year for
the,first time, about five barrels and as
the years succeed each other he looks
for great returns from the labor and
care expended there. His fall fruit,
16S barrels, he shipped to Liverpool, as
has been his custom for a few years.
and last week he learned that the first
so barrels shipped nets him $2.07 bar
rel. His 500 and more barrels Of WIN
ter fruit will be held until later.

Be Succeeded by
"ZebruIa."
Washington Correspondence New York
Herald,
Prophecy that the "zebrula" will in time
supplant the mule Of the army and the
ordinary mule Of commerce is made by
United States Consul General Richard
Guenther, at Frankfort, Germany He
sends an official report to the state depart
lnent on the future chances Of the zebrula,
a cross between a horse and zebra, and
says:
1T has been demonstrated that the mule,
the cross between horse and donkey, is
inferior to the cross between horse and
zebra. Formerly the opinion prevailed
that the zebra was almost extinct. The
opening up Of Africa, particularly the
eastern part, reveals these fine animals
in large numbers.
Compared with horses and cattle, they
possess peculiar advantages as they are
immune against the very dangerous horse
diseases Of Africa, and also against the
deadly tsetse fly, The s.zebrula,' on ac-
count Of its form and general bodily con-
dition, especially the hardness Of the
hoofs, is specially adapted for all the
transport work heretofore performed by
mules The 1zebrula' is much livelier
than the mule and at least as intelligent.
In Germany mch interest in this ami.
NAL is manifested. The we'll known Ha,.
genbeck Is experimenting in this direc-
ton and intends to introduce the zebrula'
into Germany and America. The ZOO
logical garden at Berlin possesses some
very fine specimens. The zebra stripes
are often well preserved. A full -grown
zebrula Is Ia hands high and the girdle
circumference about 60 inches.

From The Journal Bureau, Room IS, Post Build

From The Journal Bureau, Room IS, Post Build
ing, Washington.
Washington, Sept. 25.-commissioner
Jones of the Indian bureau said to-day
that he would not take any drastic meas
ures with the squatters on the Lydick al
lotment at Cass Lake. He returned to
washington to-day and when notified Of
the decision said:
AS soon as get official notice that the
secretary has awarded the Cass Lake al
lotment to Mrs. Lydick, shall give her
the usual allotment deed, under which
she can have the use Of the land for
twenty-five years, at the end Of which
time she will get a patent for it. Under
the law all Indian lands are held in trust
by the department for the time men
toned, but there is a provision permitting
them to lease the allotments at price
to be approved by the secretary Of the
interior.
II believe that last winter there was
an agreement for leasing the lots be-
tween Mrs. Lydick and the settlers on her
allotment, but it was not put thru because
of the appeal from the secretary's de-
cision | see no reason why that agree
ment should not be revived pending the
legislation which will permit the depart
ment to give Mrs. Lydick patent for her
lagnd with permission to sell at prices to
be approved by the secretary.
L do not know but that If my advice
is asked I shall urge this arrangement
as best for all concerned
Everything depends upon Mrs. Lydick,
however. If she demands possession of
her allotment the department can do
nothing but put the trespassers off, but
believe temporary leases furnish the
best way out of the difficulty"

HE WAS A LAND OWNER
"vag' Makes Surprising
Showing in Police Court.

A surprise was sprung upon Patrolman
Narcotic in police court this morning,
when G. H. Moul, whom he had arrested
for vagrancy, proved to be a well-to- do
farmer from Harvey, n. D. Moul was
penniless when picked up, and altho he
told the officer his story, it was not be-
lieved, because such stories are frequent.
In court, however, the man was able to
produce written proof.
The prisoner told Judge Dickinson that
he owned a large farm near Harvey,
n. D., and that he had formerly been in
the hotel business there, but had retired
to engage in farming. The, recent storm
had so damaged his flax crop that he
thought to find employment and earn a
little ready money. Accordingly he came
to Minneapolis, but spent all of his money
before he found work. A remittance was
due to-day.
Judge Dickinson discharge ,Moul, who
departed to find employment.
