A Unity Farm That Pays.

Mr.. j. Fl. Ames of Bowdoinham owns a
fine farm in Unity, and, although he has a
foreman and men to do his work, says that
he makes from 10 to Is per cent on his in

among them being: From 80 to 100 tons of
hay, 1870 bushels Of potatoes off of 81 acre
piece, $50 bushels of new champion oats of
4 81 acre piece, which is equal to better than
IS bushels per acre. Mr.. Ames says that he
has been searching for years for an oat to
suit him, one that was early. thrifty and
practically certain to yield big crop, and
found it. He says that he has used COM
mercial fertilizer almost altogether Of late,
and is a firm believer in Bordeaux mixture
for spraying. His potatoes were sprayed

that his methods Of farming are good

One of the largest dealers in Christ
mas trees in Boston said last week that
the firms procuring the trees are already
beginning to feel the heavy demands
made on the supply, and that today it
costs third more to procure the trees
than it did Is years ago. I'm 10 years
more, he stated, she is afraid the woods
will have been pretty well cleaned out,
and some other tree will have to be
substituted for the time-honored pine"
The ''time- honored pine" happens to be
spruce or fir, but that does not matter.
1t does matter that most of the Christ
mas trees in the Boston market come
from Maine; and this depletion of the
young growth, with the 'nroads of the
pulp mills and the work of the lumber
men, romises to strip Maine of her
forest growth and leave her naked to
the world.

The London Times, which strenuous
ly opposes the British alliance with
Germany in the Venezuelan trouble.
printed Dec. 22nd, a poem by Rudyard
KipIing, crystallizing the popular anti
German sentiment Under the title of
THE Rowers,' Kipling pictures the
men-of- warsmen grumbling at being
compelled to join hands with such
allies, who were the bitterest haters of
the British during the South African
war. The poem contains the following:
Last night ye swore our voyage was done,
But seward still we go,
And We tell us now of a secret vow
Ye have made with an open foe.
7 hat We must lie off a lghtless coast
And haul and back and veer
A the will of the breed that have wronged
us most
For ay and ay and a year.
Having enumerated some of the enor-
mites ascribed to the Germans the
poet continues:
The dead they Knocked are scarcely cold,
Our wounds are bleeding yet,
A nd We tell us now that our strength is sold
To help them press for debt.
Meath all the flags of all mankind
That fly upon the seas
Was there no other fleet to find
That We strike hands with these?
Of evil times that men could choose
On evil fate to fall
What brooding judgment let We lore
To pick the worst worst Of all?
In sight of peace from the narrow seas,
O'er half the world to run,
W it'll a cheated crew to leagues anew
With the Goth and the shameless Hun?

ness with him. But there is quite a
multitude of others in public life who
try to keep up with the prevailing fads
and because the President goes horse
back riding, so do they. The purchases
of good saddle horses and the accoutre-
ments for riding have been numerous in
the last year and half. The caval-
cade riding by twos, start out on the
hills north of Washington as soon as
their official duties are over. NoW-a-
days the cold nips their ears, and ordi-
Diary riding gloves are not warm enough,
but the devotees of the horseback rid
ing fad face the icy northern blasts
pluckily and along in the edge of the
evening come riding back to town for
dinner 1t is heroic exercise, but the
President keeps it up, and therefore
others will.
The Presidents contemplated trip
west in the early spring promises to be
one of the most extensive events of
that character ever attempted by a
chief magistrate of the United States.
Almost daily invitations are coming to
him from various cities and towns
along the way, who want the honor Of
entertaining him. The grandest dem
onstration of all will be in California,
where the people are already preparing
to Guido the demonstration of Two
years ago in honor of President Nc
Kinley. The President plans to extend
his visit so as to include the far south
west and the far northwest and will go
to the north on his return trip some
time in May. 1t is probable that Assis-
tant Secretary B Benjamin F. Barnes,
whose mother was a native of Eden,
Me-, will be one Of those to accompany
the President on this trip.
The proposed enactment of the immi-
grafton bill in the Senate at this session
is of no small interest in Maine, because
it will affect tie influx of French Cana
dams into the State. The payment of a
head tax Of So each is provided as the bill
now stands There is grave doubt, how
ever, whether the bill will become law
at this session, although it only remains
for the Senate to pass it to enable it to
go to the President for signature. 1t is
quite probable that the opposition to
some provisions will be so vigorous that
the bill will go into common grave
with numerous other measures for lack
OF time to fully consider them.
1t is very certain that nothing Will
come of the bill of Representative Me
Call of Massachusetts to suspend the
restrictions upon the coastwise trade,
SO as to allow ships of foreign registry
to engage in carrying coal. There will
be more agitation about it after. the
holidays, but the opposition is so pro-
nounced at both ends of the Capitol
that no legislation is possible. Many
Maine interests have been opposed to
it, because it would interfere with the
present status of Maine shipping in a
detrimental way.
The ship subsidy bill seems to be dead
and thus far nothing has been heard
about trying to revive it, but there is
no telling what the House may attempt
late in the session after other matters
are completed.

The vessels were evidently approach
ing each other on different tacks, and,
according to the rule, the one on the
starboard tack had the right of way.
and the other craft should have kept
clear of her But both crews should
have done everything to avoid coils
ion. no matter which vessel was en-
titled to clearance under the rules of
the road, and certainly there must have
been great carelessness on some one S
part to have accounted for this fatality.
That is a question that must be inves-
tipated later, when those on the deck
of each of the schooners have told their
story Boston Herald.
In this case-the collision of the
schooners Frank A. Palmer and Louise
B. Crary-there was nothing that hui
man power could do to avert the dis
aster. On board the Palmer they had
every reason to believe that the Crazy
would observe the rule, and when it
was realized that she did not intend to
give way it was too late to avoid COL
lision. A big heavily laden coal schoon-
er is long while in stays, and requires
plenty of sea room. Many accidents
have resulted from vessels that had the
right of way changing their course, and
while occasionally collision may thus
be avoided by this deviation from the
'.ru' e of the road it is violation of
maritime regulations to do so, and the
vessel thus offending is liable if dam
age results. The mate of the Crazy is
held responsible for this calamity, but
he went down with his vessel and can
not be heard in his own defence. He
must have thought he could safely
cross the Palmer's bows, but miscal-
culated the speed of that vessel and OF
his own. Had both vessels survived
the shock, or had the Crazy sunk the
Palmer and got into port, the owners
of the Palmer would have brought a
libel against the Crazy in the United
States Admiralty Court asking repara-
ton, and would have had clear case.
As both vessels went to the bottom it
is understood there will be no htiga-
ton. The insurance companies are
ready to meet their obligations, and
according to the law the surviving crew
will be paid their wages, and the United
States Shipping Commissioner will be
paid the wages of the men who were
lost, to forward the same to the fami-
lies or relatives.

PROHIBITION VS. REsUBM1ssIoN.

On another page will be found an IN
teresting report of recent debate IN
the county grange on the question of
prohibition VS. resubmission, with the
views of Otis D. Wilson. Esq, of Sears
mont as to the best solution of the IL
quor question. AS Mr.. Wilson we'll
says this debate fairly illustrates public
sentiment in Maine on the liquor ques-
ton. Some of the speakers declared
prohibition to be a farce and failure
and were unreservedly in favor of re-
submission, believing that that would
ensure high license; Others were for
standing firm against any change in the
present status; and still others declared
themselves for temperance and ready
to approve such action as would pro-
mote that cause. Mr. Wilson favors
the South Carolina plan, of which he
gives an outline.
A recent canvass of the members
elect of the Legislature indicates that
there is little probability of resubmis-
sion act passing that body, and while of
late there has been growing public
sentiment in favor of high license it is
mainly confined to the cities, and it is
quite safe to say that there would be a
decided majority in the State against it.
If all those in favor of temperance
could see that the entire suppression OF
the liquor traffic is an impossibility, and
would unite in endeavors to regulate
it, something might be accomplished.
The trouble has been, and no doubt will
continue to be, that the most Jealous
prohibitionists are impracticable in
their demands. At one time temper
ance reform was mainly directed to
placing on the statute books laws which
were not and could not be enforced. The
result was necessarily adverse to the
end in view. 1t alienated those who
would have favored more practical
methods for the promotion OF temper
ance 1t brought the laws into dlsre-
pute. With the adoption of the prohi-
bitory amendment and the death of the
great temperance apostle, Neal Dow,
there came cessation Of effort in this
directions; and now in several OF the
counties there is declared intention of
enforcing the law without fear or favor.
There is law enough, and all that is
needed is officers to enforce it, with
public sentiment to back them. But
without this sustaining public sentl-
ment prohibition will not prohibit.

merely operates as a stay Of proceed
