The Rockport and St. George Ballots.

How the Error was Made. An Explanation
that shonld be Satisfactory.
There has been considerable excite
mpnt in Knox county and elsewhere
over mistake in the official ballots
that caused the voters Of Rockport and
st. George to lose their votes so far as
they were not able to remedy the mis-
take bv using stickers or writing IN the
proper names. The ballots were de-
livered from the office OF the secretary
of State with the county ticket OF Lin
coin county printed thereon instead of
that of Knox county, as should have
been the case. The error was not dis
covered until after the voting had be-
gun on the day of election and 1T was
too late to remedy it by obtaining a
new lot correctly printed. A cretaln
portion of the Democratic press has
charged that the error was intentional
and committed with view to defeat
ing the Democratic candidates. But 1t
now appears from the statement OF the
secretary of State, Byron Boyd, and the
affidavit OF Arthur L. Brown, assistant
foreman of the Kennebec journal JOB
office, that Mr. Brown made the mis-
take by emitting to change the county
ticket when changing the forms, and
that the proof reader failed to detect
the error afterward in comparing the
proof sheet with the printed copy. It
also appears tnat Mr. Brown is an old
and experienced printer, and that he
has personally made up the form used
for printing the official ballot of Maine
ever since the law went into effect in
1891, and that this is the first mistake
he ever made in handling them. More
than that, it appears that in politics he
is a Democrat and would, therefore,
have had no partisan motive to make a
change in the ballot of nature to work
against the interests of his own party.
Mr.. Browns manly assumption OF the
blame and responsibility clears the sec.
rotary of State and the public printer OF
any suspicion of being in conspiracy to
defraud the ballot.

WRECK AND WRECKAGE.
May be Missing Schooners Irving Leslie and
william HI. Archer.

May be Missing schooners Irving Leslie and
William HI. Archer.
Capt. Lawrence Hayes of the fishing
schooner Irene and May, which arrived
at T wharf, Boston, Sept. 26, from the
fishing grounds, reported passing a
sunken schooner 5Omiles east-sOutheast
from Thacher's island on September Is.
The wreck was a two-master, with one
mast projecting 10 feet out of the water
and the other mast just visible above
the surface. It is believed to have been
the wreck of sch. Irving Leslie, from
Sullivan, Me, for Boston, with a cargo
of stone. She sailed several days before
the hurricane of the 14th, and has never
since been heard from. The Leslie was
in command of Capt. John H. Bennett
and carried crew of four men.
Capt. Benefits father was master of
the schooner William H. Archer, which
is also supposed to have been lost in the
same storm. She was bound from Ban
gor for Boston with cargo of lumber,
and it is believed that she was the YES
sci passed bottom up off Cape Ann
some time ago.

An Unusual Anchorage.

The five-masted schooner Governor
Ames anchored somewhere between
Montauk Point and Block Island during
the recent hurricane and rode it out
safely. There is not one big schooner
master in hundred that would take
such a chance as this unless it was
forced upon them by their vessel being
unable to make sea room. The Govern
or Ames, however, is pioneer in this
business. Some time in 1888, the year
she came out new, she anchored off
Cape Cod in gale of wind owing, to
the loss of her foremost through her
head stays giving away. This vessel
has had several narrow escapes from
serious disaster, but always turns up all
right in the end. What grand marine
picture true photograph of the Gov
ernor Ames riding out hurricane at
anchor between Montauk and Block
Island would make.-Nautical Gazette.

concERN1Ne PORK PRODUCTION.
Board of Agriculture Bulletin.

Board of Agriculture Bulletin
WINTERPORT. We are quite we IL
pleased with the Improved Ohio Ches-
ter pig. This breed does very we'll with
us. We feed our skim milk as it comes
from the separator, and what waste
products we may have. When we wish
to fatten them 1 like ground barley
mixed with boiled potatoes and pump
kins, and what skim milk we may have.
l can make pork faster on that feed
than on any other. We market them
when six months old, and they will
weigh from 25O to 800 pounds. We
think it costs to feed them ali that we
get for the pork, leaving the manure
for our labor. There is not much profit
in raising pork or keeping COWS at pres
ent prices of pork and butter.
What is your method of eradica ting
the many obnoxious weeds that are
fast taking possession of many Maine
farms, and should the State pay part
of the expense of graduating them?-
A. W. Hardy.
NOTE For method of eradicating
obnoxious weeds, see note after re-
marks of A. 3. Walker, Peru. If the
State should attempt to clear farms
from weeds it would be establishing a
dangerous precedent. These weeds
should be destroyed, and if the owner
neglects or refuses to destroy them it
should be done for the benefit of the
community and the expense incurred
charged to the owner of the land
Commissioner.
BELFAST Hogs should not be con-
fined, but should be given an out door
run, and feed some green food or sup
piled with pasture. While do not
think it has ever been demonstrated
that pork can be any more cheaply
grown than other meat, relative to its
food value, it is valuable adjunct to a
farm business and can be usually grown
at profit by those who give the bust
ness proper attention.-E. c. Dow,
THoRNDIKE With gooG facilities
and suitable pasture, dairymen should
make a speciality of raising pork,
marketing it at not more than eight
months old. TO supplement the pasture
and other green food, skim-milk and
brown middlings make the very best
ration up to five months old, then add
meal and feed judlciously until fit for
market Pigs so raised will never get
lame. TO get the best results, add to
each four quarts of food tablespoon
full of clean ashes. These are more es-
pecially needed when meal is fed. If
some charcoal is added, all the better.
Pork SO raised will pay 25 per cent profit
at least, and if diligence is used in max
ing dressing, this can be nearly doubled.
Farmers will find the best information
on this subject in MI Forest Henry's
paper in the Agricultural Report of
1000. E. Smith.

OBITUARY.

In former issue we reported the ac-
cidental shooting of Roy Thomas in
Lawrence, Mass. He died Sept. Goth.
A Lawrence paper says of his funeral:
Few funerals are surrounded by cir
cumstances more pathetic and touching
than that of the unfortunate victim of
last Sundays accidental shooting affair,
Leroy +. Thomas. Standing on the
threshold of life, viewing almost for
the first time the hopes and ambitions
of manhood, to be taken away without
even second of warning makes death
doubly pathetic.
The body was conveyed to the Parker
street Methodist church where the last
earthly rites were performed by the
Rev. Mr.. West.
A beautiful half-couch casket of hello
trope plush enclosed the remains. A
silver plate bore the inscription:
