A move which is understood to be the

of the adjutant general, and which If
carried into execution will mean a large

names of those to whom commissions
have been issued in the Maine militia
since the year 1894. This does not in
clude the Maine regiments who enlist
ed during the years of the Rebellion.
but only those regiments which were
enrolled for State service. The num-
Der Of commissions have been counted,
and IN round numbers amount to 10, 140.
1t is not known whether or not the
work will be done. but if so, the list
will be an interesting one. aside from
its value as a means of reference.

That many recruits are still coming
to Maine from other states. to join
the great army of hunters which at
present has its headquarters in the
big woods far to the north of civiiza-
ton. is shown by the steady demand
for nonresident hunting licenses, at
the office Of the fish and game COM
mission. 1t is estimated that the num-
Der of hunters who will have visited
the Maine woods, this season, Will
exceed that of any year in the history
of the state, and that those who have
thus far had their outing have been
successful is shown by the shipments
of game to the homes of the hunters.
Those who have been in the woods say
that the shooting was never better,
and as far as the weather is concern
ed. that of the past month, which closes.
today, has been but little short Of the
ideal To give an idea of the game
that has been shot since the season
opened, il may be stated that the total
game shipments from Bangor. up to
Saturday afternoon consisted of 1425
deer ~ moose. and 10 bears. The larg-
est shipment of game for any one
day of the season was on Friday. when
the lot received consisted of 146 deer
five moose and two bears. Everything
indicates that the season will be a
record breaker, and the revenue which
the state will receive from its game
preserves will be a large one.

pounds per acre as advised, were turn
ing red on the edges of the leaves, and
he sent me some of them to know what
was the matter. I found that the roots
had been scorched by the fertilizer, and
setting the plants in my frames, they
went on and grew well. Set the Won
derful foot apart in the rows, and set
them on the north side of beds run
ming east and west. Many make the
mistake of setting these and cabbage
plants on the sunny side of the bed,
where they are exposed to the sun
when frozen and this does more dam
age than the actual cod. Care must be
used not to set the pants too deeply,
hut Just so that when the beds are
leveled in the early spring they VIII
be on the surface with every leaf above
ground, for plants set too deeply VIII
not head well.
Now for the plants that are to be
headed in later winter in the frames:
I would SOW seed of the Big Boston
in September, and have them ready to
set. in the frames in late November or
early December Several sowings should
be made. as the season may push the
| first sowing to too large size, and the
seed is cheap enough to be liberal Win
| It. The practice of the best growers
under cloth is to make their frames
eleven feet wide, and have the ENDS
and ridge poles removable, so that the
preparation of the soil and the plowing
! in of the manure can be done by morse
power. After getting all the manure
they can stuff into the soil. they run
/ slight ridges foot through the frames
with hand plow. and on these set tns
plants to prevent the hands setting
them too deeply.
When the plants take hold OF the
soil. the fertilizer mixture l have de
scribed is applied at rate of 1000 POUNDS
per acre in the little burrows between
the ridges and the soil, and is tnel
leveled SO as to leave the plants set JUS
right. This is better than putting TN
fertilizer right under the plants. as !
gets to them gradually, and there is N
!. danger of burning the roots. The lates
!. crop is sown in January in fran
, under glass. For this sowing the Ne'

heat better than the Big Boston, an

set in the fall. This crop will come o

Ills mistress was giving a dinner party

OF the courses consisted of scalloped oy-

shells was broken-there were only IL.
The mistress, therefore, told the butler
that she would not eat any oysters, and
thus there would be just enough to &c
around.
"The butler, when the oyster course
came. placed before the lady one of the
shells. To his horror, she did not de
cline it. Calmly she let it rest before
her. If she started to eat it, one gues'
would be short of oysters. What wa

HONEST PHYSICIAN
Works with Himself First.

II is a mistake to assume that pnysi-
clans are always skeptical as to the
curative properties of anything else
than drugs.
Indeed, the best doctors are those
who seek to heal with as little use OF
drugs as possible and by rhe use OF
correct food and drink. A physician
writes from Calf to tell how he made

oped, with pains in the cardiac region,
and accompanied by great depression
of spirits, despondency-in brief, the

all my troubles were caused by cofee.

Recent discoveries seem to show
that each of the larger planets Is &C

NJ. Caverau, of France, has eascov-
cred that the eggs of insects contain
the same characteristic poison venom
as the sting of the insect. So also
the eggs of serpents. The discovery
is important in its bearings on the

The recent discovery that alloys not

WHY A GOOD s1LO PAYS.
.ut.ve. of the silo Explained
by One Who Has Had Jon
adorable Experience.

Mr.. ). H. Godfrey, who has haa
much experience in feeding dairy AMI
mails says, in speaking OF the adSan-
tages of the silo:
.sThe business man who neglects 10
adopt the latest methods for decreas-
ing labor and increasing production
and profits is foredoomed TO 1aiiures
why not apply Sound business princi-
pies to farming? That means reducing
the cost of production to the lowest
possible limit. In ninety-nine cases
out of every hundred the silo is a prof.
table investment for every stockman,
whether he produces beef, butter OF
milk. - TsN
AN acre of land that will yield one
and one-half tons of timothy hay can
be relied upon to produce fifteen tons
of ans;,are corn. The chemical analy-
ais Of the two crops. according to the
Wisconsin Experiment Station, shows
the following relative feeding value:
"Fifteen tons of ensilage gives three
times as much dry matter, 4.64 times
as much protein, nine times as mucn
carbo-hyi]rates. and five times as mucn
ether extract as the 11s tons OF UNI
othy hay.
"While 1t is not claimed that en-
i siIare alone is a balanced ration" II
is the best basis for a cheap ration
and makes it possible for the user &c
do one of two things; he can either
increase his stock double it, or keef
