NO MORE FOREIGN PULP.
Water Comes to Relief of Many Paper
Mills in the State.

The conditions at the paper ana pup
mills all over Maine are now the most
favorable which have been experienced
for several months. AS is well known
they have, to a large extent, been una
BILE to run but small portion of thel'
machinery during the past several
months, owing TO Il lack of water, Whlch
caused also the shutting down of the
sround-wood machines and necessi-
tated the buying of much foreign pulp
and groundwood.
1t is now understood that these con-
ditions have passed and an authority
on paper and pulp conditions i'll this
State, said that not only had the buy
| ing of foreign pulp and groundwork
ceased but in practically all cases IN
Maine enough water WAS now aVaIlabl"
| 70 run the mills on full time.
1t was further said Wednesday that
| fully three-fourths of dll the paper and
pulp mills throughout the State were
| running with their full equipment while
the other fourth will be running on full
time in a very few days now. Several
| of the plants are working to highest
| capacity because of the great rush OF
| orders, the result of the slack time.
Many of the mills during the past
few months have been forced to buy
al the groundwork which they use!
| from foreign concerns. Other mills
not only had to buy pulp but i'll man?
cases were running but a comparative
lily small per cent Of their equipment.
Today all these conditions are
| changed for the better. 1t is under
stood that no mills in the State are
now buying any foreign pulp. Natur-
ally pulp is still coming into the State
however, as the big mills had contract
ed for much of it which they will be
forced to take. This pulp buying. oi

A NOVEL STOP SIGNAL.
Residents of Cape Elizabeth Devise
Means for Attracting Attention in
Dark.

Those people who have been trouo-
led With having ten electric car SHOOT
by them when standing on country
road in the dark, because they could
not be seen, need no longer fear that
the mOtorman cannot make them out,
for an ingenious scheme has been hit
upon by the residents of Cape EilZa-
beth near Cash'S corner district. where
by their presence may be made known.
Round about that district the nights
are very dark; inky blackneSs covers
the roads. A person standing by the
track cannot be seen until the car is
right abreast of him. When he is seen.
distance of many feet. Sometimes de-
lay of several minutes occurred.
One man out that way determined
that he would not again be run by, so
one night when waiting for Il car, he
thought of 4 great scheme. When the
electric was two posts away from him,
he struck Il snap match on post, and
held it up. The signal lasted but Il sec
ond, before the match was blown out,
but the watchful motorman had seen it
and the car stopped in convenient
place.
The originator of the idea told his
friends Of the success of his effort and
now all are trying it. 1t is remarkable
simple and remarkably effective.

that he was experiencing the most violent

Experiments With Potatoes

In 1905 the Maine Agricultural Ex
pertinent Station made the following
experiments with potatoes:
IWelVe varieties of potatoes were
tested for resistance to blight both
when sprayed with Bordeaux mixture
A marked difference was found i'm the
blight resistant properties of different
Varletiec. AS Il rule the early varieties
We're soonest attacked. Spraying de-
lay"d the attack on all varieties but
blight appeared on the SPRAYED plots
OF some varieties sooner than on plots
OF othef varieties that We're unsprayed.
The increased yield more than paid the
cost of spraying with Bordeaux mix
ture. On the average the yield Of the
early varieties was one-third greater
on the sprayed plots, ana in the case
OF the late varieties one-half greater
than on the unsprayed. The yield of
| understandable potatoes from the early
varieties was practically the same.
whether they We're harvested in Sep
| TENDER or October. The yield of the
| late varieties, both sprayed and un-
sprayed. was a third greater at the
| later date.
| In a field experiment the effect Of
| Bug Death was again compared with
Paris green as measured by health of
vine and yield OF tubers. As in pre-
| viouS experiments. the use of %
| pounds of Bug Death per acre at each
application effectually protected the
| potatoes from the potato bug. From
it's use however. no larger crops We're
obtained than where Paris green was
| used as the poison. Both the Bug
Death and Paris green We're used with
Bordeaux mixture The results of The
Experiments for three years are sum
med up as follows: Desirable as it
would be tC find some method of con-
trolling the potato beetle without the
use of poison, there seems to be no I'M
mediate prospect of it's attainment. AS
good crops, both as measured by total
yield and starch content can be OBJ
tanned by the use of Paris green as an
inseCticide rs by anything yet suggest
ed as its substitute. Used in moderate
amounts. one-half to enc pound per
| acre. there is no trustworthy evidence
| that the potato. as measured by growth
| of vines and yield Of tuberS and of dry
matter, is injured by the use of Paris
green.
BY a patented process of manufac
ture lime that is ready for use is now
| upon the market. Bordeaux mixture
made from the pine Cone Brand" of
prepared lime was compared with reg
| ular bordeaux mixture made from
quick lime. Because of it's purity it
can be used in the same proportion
6 pounds of lime to ) pounds of copper
sulphate) although it does not carry as
much oxide of lime as quick lime would
if pure. In the trial with potatoes Bor-
deaux mixture made from the prepared
lime was as effective against blight as
| that made in the usual way. The pre-
! pared lime costs more per pound than
quick lime, but it is more convenient,
| and it's use saves time, and may on this
| account not prove more expensive.

MuIehins for Apple Trees and Goose
berries,

A correspondent recently sent to the
Maine Agricultural Experiment Station
the following questions which were
answered by Professor w. NJ. Munson,
as below:
as the waste from shingle mills
CHshingle hair'D a better mulch for ap-
pie trees than sawdust? Is there any
objection to pine needles as a mulch for
gooseberry bushes?"
Shingle edgings C'shingle hair'D are
excellent for mulching either apple
trees or strawberry plants. AS i'll the
case of sawdust, it is better to use ma
terial that is not quite fresh: or take
precautions so as to keep 1t from
packing closely about the base of the
tree. SawduSt is the most Satisfac-
tory material ever used at the Station
as winter protection and summer
mulch for Strawberries. 1t conserves
the moisture effectively and is free
from weeds.
The best mulch for gooseberries, as
for other small fruits, is 4 fine dust
cover provided by thorough cultiva-
ton. If for any reason this can not
be given, I see no objection to the use
of pine needles or the "shingle hair"
referred to above.

SURGEONS RESORT TO THE
KNIFE.
When Simple Home Remedy Cures.

Why DO physicians always advise an
operation for the cure of hemorrhoids,
or piles? Are they unconsciously in
luenced by the dicta of operating
surgeons, who stoutly assert and
maintain that all other treatments are
merely palliative. and that the knife
affords the only means of cure?
There could be no greater fallacy, as
the worst possible cases of piles are
permanently cured by the use of Pyra-
mid Pile Cure, which is in suppostory
form. is applied directly to the source
of the complaint. and removes the
cause, which an operation does not.
Il have been a sufferer from piles for
over forty years, and after trying
everything ! could hear or read of,
without benefit or relief, | came to the
conclusion to give Pyramid Pile Cure
Il trial, and | can truly say it has given
me entire satisfaction: it is n wonder
full remedy. The bleeding has entirely
ceased, the protruding has stopped
there is no longer any itching, and l
feel no swelling of the parts; i'll fact
feel like new man.
Il had to wear 4 truss for several
years, to keep the bowel up. but | have
now discarded it, after using six boxes
of Pyramid Pile Cure. ] think after
forty years of suffering, the six boxes
was small amount to make such all
agreeable change, as | was unable to
do any work that required STOPPING in
the last eight years. | recommend
