DREDGED WITHOUT PAY

Through "a clause in the contract be-

the company little leeway the Govern

The payment for the work is made on

22i cubic yards of mud has been taken
out of the river by the company under the

IL is needless to add that the note was

our WHIPPING POST AGAIN.

p EcAUSE the whipping post has
~ been suggested as a method Of
punishment for certain criminals Of the

that this sort OF punishment win not

mistaken. It is not effective in all
cases, TO be sure. but an offender well

ming necessary.
This tenderness for malefactors is
very beautiful in the abstract. but
should the Journal learn that the fame
OF the whipping post has deprived us
OF visits from many light-hngered gen.

point Of view would be understood.

THE election In st, Georges hundred
4 resulted IN decisive majority for
Franklin j. Pennington OF Il. Evidently
some Republicans neglected to vote.
What the reason was we do not know,
but we suspect there was apathy due to
the fact that the Republican majority
IN the Legislature rs already large.
Two years ago there was a special
election in the Ninth district OF Kent
county owing to a tie, and the result
was large majority for the Republic
can candidate.
These two instances are sufficient TO
show that wsth the same electors in
only a few weeks the sentiments of a
community may undergo a material
change or may be swayed by new In
huences. It also shows that public
favor such as ls shown at the ballot
box is a very tickle thing.

The Angora Goat.

For years the introduction OF the An
CORA goat has been advocated by various
parties in Maine. 1t has been held that
there would be much profit to Maine
farmers by breeding this animal, and that
our abandoned farms could be utilized in
this way better than in any other.
Various State officials have advocated
the introduction of the Angora goat, and
manufacturers at Sanford, who use the
wool Of this animal, have lamented that
they have had to send to the far West and
abroad for their raw material, when 1t
would be possible for the farmers to raise
it. Director Wood, of the Maine expert
ment station at Orono, connected with tn
university of Maine, has had little ex-
perience with the Angora goat, however,
in the past few years, and his report is
not encouraging to Maine farmers to
branch out into this new industry. Here
Is what he says on the matter:
"Angora goats are quite hardy and
thrifty, and can be kept with the same
winter care that sheep demand. 1t takes
about $50 pounds of hay to winter one
goat. With plenty of young woodland or

s'They are effective in clearing up under
brush in woodland covered with birch or
evergreen. They will likely destroy other
varieties, except very large trees. They
will clear out bushes and waste growth in
pastures, in preference even to tue grasses
"Ordinary fencing will not hold them
A fine mesh wire fence OF such height that
hey cannot rest the front feet upon 1t will
hold them, even in small areas. They do
not jump, but are good climber The
flesh has flavor between that OF lamb
and venison.
"The csrcasses are small and there is nc
market in the East for the flesh. The
fleece is called mohair, and that from
crosses brings a somewhat higher price
than wool. The purer the breeding the
better the mohair is, and the heavier is the
clipping. Three pounds per animal is
about all that can be expected from a
clipping from seven-eighths bred goats.
"fhey are very docIle and intelligent,
and make excellent pets. Their bush
eating proclivities would make them a
nuisance among decorative shrubs. The
station does not recommend them for most
Maine farms"
