Elkanah II. Walker, the veteran
ticket agent at Augusta depot of the
Maine Central railroad, was teleg
rapher and ticket agent, 80 years ago
when Levi l.. Lincoln, who recently
died at his home in Portland was
superintendent of the road. When Mr.
Walker first knew Mr.. Lincoln the lat
ter was a passenger conductor on the
run from Portland to SkoWhegan via
Brunswick. over the line of the old
Portland and Kennebec road. From
that position he was promoted to
Superinte ndent of the road with office
in Augusta, upstairs in the depot where
the telephone central is today. He
built for his own occupancy while in
Augusta the house at 60 Sewall street
now the residence of Frank w. Kins
man. In the early seventies when the
Portland and Kennebec was CONSOLE
dated with the lines from Portland to
Bangor over what is now known as the
back route, and the whole was given
the name of the Maine Central. Mr..
Lincoln became the first superintendent
of the system, the president being
Richard Rice and the two men divid-
ing the work that now belongs to the
general manager. The system when
Mr.. Lincoln took charge comprised the
line from Portland Ito Skowhegan via
Brunswick, from Cumberland junction
to Bagnor via Lewiston, and from
Brunswick to Bath. The Pennington
line and the line from Lewiston to
Brunswick We're absorbed into the sys-
tenn during his superintendency; and
the branches to Dexter and Belfast
were leased by the Maine Central I'M
der his management when built. He
made the line through Augusta the
main line of the system, kept the rail-
road shops here while connected with
the road. and had the head offices all
here. When the Eastern acquired a
controlling interest in the Maine Cen
trial. Mr.. Lincoln became superinten-
dent of the main line. He stayed in
Augusta till Payson Tucker came to
the head of the system and moved the
general office to Portland, when Mr.
Lincoln left the road, leasing the
Bucksport road which has since been
absorbed by the Maine Central. He
afterwards went to Portland and Rum
ford Falls road and made that good
for something. For the last eight or
nine years he had not been actively en-
gagged in business, living quietly at his
home in Portland. He is remembered
with the kindest of feelings by all who
worked for the railroad in Augusta

No HorseIess Age Vet.

There is no danger of q horseless
age at this time nor In the near fu
ture. II 1t ever comes 1t will be when
conditions are far different from those
existing at the present time. There
are thousands uf uses to which the
horse Is put where no form Of me-
chanical force can be substituted. No
machine can think, and this IL very
necessary in some forms OF force as
used on the farm and In the channels
OF commerce. The carriage horse drags
the carriage through the snow. up the
hiilsides where the footing Is bad,
picking his way with a keen intelli-
gence. When the mud is deep and
sticky he pulls the wagon laden with
produce from the farm. The mechani-
cal force would be at standstill In
situations that are not needed by the
horse. Even through the soft sand the
horse picks his way with his rider. II
need be the horse can create energy
out of the grass that grows by the
wayside, and he can do 1t Tor week,
a month or a year. He can carry his
master thousands of miles with this as
the only source Of force supply. The
machine Is helpless as soon as the
supply of high-class, artificial energy
producing material gives out. There
was furry few years ago among
the buyers and sellers of carriage
horses because some one had started
the theory that the horse was about to
be discarded by man for a power that
could live on coal and oil. Some farm
ers even listened to this rumor and
stopped breeding horses, only to find
In a few years that horses were COM
manding high price and they had
none to sell. The wise farmer will go
right on breeding fine carriage horses
and the best quality of drafts.

Points on Starters.

Prof. G.. l.. Mckay: A pure culture
properly cared for should be carried
forward a month. We found at our
school, when isolating different spe-
cies of acid-producing germs from milk
that they would work vigorously for
three or four weeks when extra care
was observed in carrying them for
ward, but after that they seemed to
lose their power of producing acid,
wild state again and isolate from the
milk. l do not wish to say anything
that will injure the business of the
men who are putting the pure cultures
on the market, as l believe they are
doing good work for the dairy bust
ness of our country. Still, l think
the good intelligent maker should be

garding cleanliness and thorough ster-
ilization Of everything that comes in

II the maker is not ready to use 1t at
that time, 1t should be Immediately
cooled down to low enough tempera-
ture to practically check fermentation

accomplished by placing the can In a

gent maker can pasteurize pint or

Rlpenlnq Cream.

In ripening cream, care must be ia
ken to reach the right degree Of acid
ity, says Oscar Err, Of the Illinois
Agricultural College. This can be de-
termined with Mann's acid test or with
the Harrington alkaline tablets. II
the ripening Is carried on too far the
bacteria are apt to attack the albumen
or the fat Of the cream, forming a new
product which will give butter a dis.
agreeable flavor. The over-ripening
of cream affects to a large extent the
keeping quality Of butter. An expert
ment will probably best illustrate this
point. Samples Of butter were ana.
lyzed. In the first sample the butter
churned from overripe cream con-
tanned 1.16 per cent casein, while in
the second sample butter churned
from mildly ripened cream contained
only 0.8 per cent, AS the keeping
quality OIL butter is decreased when
its proportion of casein Is increased.
1t will readily be seen that under equal
conditions the over-ripe sample would
become "off-iavored" more rapidly
than the other.
To produce uniform flavor in but
ter. the degree Of acidity must be con-
sidered In relation to the thickness OF
the cream. In the making of high
favored butter, the cream must be
thin rather than thick, in order to
furnish more milk serum for the
development of more acid. Thick
cream should not be ripened to 30
high degree Of acidity as thin cream,
for the reason that the flavor Of the
butter is endangered on account of the
lack OF food supply for germ growth
for the production Of more acid. The
following standard we have adopted:
For cream containing 20 per cent Of
butterfat ripening should proceed un-
til about 0.6 per cent of acid develops,
as determined by means of Earring
tons tablets; and for every 10 per
cent increase of fat In cream there
should be decrease of 4 of per cent
OF acid, as the proper stage for check
ing the fermentation.

This remarkable man, Sir Hiram Max
i'm, discusses all subjects in the cold
light of reason. He has made vast
fortune by a death-dealing machine
which has sent more men to dust than
possibly any plague Of modern times.
You may talk Of great statesmen, OF

He describes how little guide book

winnings of the bank were $5,000,000

He says:
"This appeared to indicate to me
