Maine Gossip
A Convert,

I'm ready fur the simple life. I'm waitin'
for the day
When everything is peaceable. without a
sign of fray.
I'm tired O. fightip' snowstorms. I'm tired
o. chopin, xpod-
A simple life is somethin' that l feel
would do me good.
I've shivered in the mornin' when the
dawn was gray and bleak,
I've took Q,Iinlne an bitters till my StOm-
ach'S gettin' weak.
An I'm waitin' most impatient fur the
tine to come along
When the sun is shinin' lazy and the
world is all song.
Swingin' in the hammock underneath the
spreadin' tree,
Llstenin' to the robin an the murmur of
the bee;
keepin jes a little bit awake, SOS not to
miss
The perfume of the clover mingled with
the zephyr's kiss.
I've had enough of battle with the win
ter's ruthless power;
yearn for peace and quiet. l can stand
it by the hour.
It's fine to be hero an to conquer in the
strife.
Eut I'm gettin' good an ready to adopt
a simple life.

Eev. A. NJ. Mcdonald and Rev. A. P.
Mcdonald of Bar Harbor, are taking
up the matter of the Maine Seacoast
Missionary Society. They are issuing
circular matter to the summer colony
and to local people able to assist in
the work of this organization. Their
plan is to own power boat captained
by Sunday-school and Christian En-
deavor worker and go from point to
point along the coast where there is
practically no church service. AS
soon as enough money is obtained they
hope to pat an. ordained minister in the
field but at present have worker in
view who issa practical sailor and an
experienced man in this line of work.
The object is particularly worthy
one and we believe these gentlemen
will receive hearty support. The
coast lire with the intentions as the
circular says. is 24O0 miles from Kit
terry to Quoddy Head and the field is
certainly large one.

FARM NEWS AND FARM LORE
Fire Breakes Needed
By GEO. B. DAILY

The writer never saw a time when
so much valuable farm property.
buildings, grain, hay and live stock.
was subject to loss from praire fire as
at the present time. The prairie will
burn at the touch and stubble will
burn at midday and after if the sun
shines and a good breeze blows. A
conflagration of immense proportion
is imminenta any bright breezy after
noon. This year-so much grain has
been threshed from the shock, that it
seems difficult for any n to get any
blowing done. This at least is the
condition in the northern part of the
northern part of the county. The
locomotive set the..prairie on fire in
Columbia township last week, doing
considerable damage. Threshers' en-
gines burning straw are numerous in
every direction, adding terribly to
the risk. Fire breaks can not be pro-
vided too soon-good wide ones

and sixteen feet high are idle boasts.
No one should want corn of that
height. What is wanted is a stalk OF
medium height, large, strong, ylgor-
Gus, standing up we'll, with a a OF
good size. not too large. hanging not
too high on the stalk nor yet too low,
but Just where it is convenient to
reach it. The ear that grows too
high on the.stalk is seldom a good one,
and increases the danger of the stalk
being blown down, The ear that
grows too low is seldom a good one, is
hard to huSk, and should be discarded.
Don't look for a stalk that has two
ears on it. Its intentions may be
good. but n first-claSs ear is better
than two medium or Indifferent ones.
That stalk is too ambitious.
1t is not necessary for us to say that
he should select a type of corn that
will mature in his latitude. in the
latitude OF central Iowa about the
18th of September, or the 18th at the
latest. We think the 18th preferable,
as we are very likely to have a frost
about the middle of the month, and
it is better to raise a smaller ear
and eliminate the danger OF frost than
it is to take c%hances..on getting a few
more bushels to the acre in a very fav-
orable season. If our readers will
follow our suggestions in this matter
we are sure it will pay them in anoth-
er year a good deal larger wages than
they would dare to ask Of any of their
Observation-Disclosures Farmer.

Farmers and the Chautauqua.

The editor of W~allace's Farmer cries
out against the evil features of the
street fair too often seen at the coun-
ty fairs and speaks of the Chautaugua
as follows: son the other hand. the
whole teaching of the Chautauqua is
uplifting, We have been studying
the Chautauquas this summer and
realize as we never did before the in
calculable benefits they are comforting
upon the communities all through the
west. The state of Iowa alone has
had forty this year. We are told it
will have about a hundred next year.
Those who are not in love with things
that are in their nature uplifting,
which tend to make men better, will
avoid the Chautauqua and seek the
street fair and the county fair which
in defiance Of state law often permits
gambling and things even worse. The
Chautauqua furnishes opportunity for
non-partisan discussion of public poll
cies and the elementary principles of
government and righteousness which
is fast changing public opinion, broad
ening out the popular view of public
questions, and affords political leaders
a chance to catch the more inspiring
breezes that blow from the farm.
This in itself would be sufficient pub
lie compensation for the money in
vested, and it is after all but one of
the many benefits of the Chau-
tauuua.n

h Colt Races.


The colt races at the harness meet
ings this year should be unusually In
teresting. Horace W. Wilson. who has
given the subject q great deal Of
thought, is Of the opinion that the
hree-year-old futurities should result
in contests fully as interesting as those
Of last year, which were made memo
rable by the brilliant race at Lexington
between Grace Bond and Alta AK
worthy.
The crop of two-year-olds Of last sea-
son was an unusually good lot, and
as they were raced very judiciously
there is no reason why they should not
train on to be remarkable three-year-
olds.
On top of these there will be the
usual addition to this class Of a large
number Of colts which were more or
less thoroughly tried out last season,
but which were not seen at the races.
Mr.. Wilson is a keen judge of colt
trotters and has an unusually good op-
portunity to know just what Is being
done with the best of them, and for
that reason his opinion is valuable.
