Business.

Mr.. and Mrs. George o. Sampson
have broken up housekeeping here and
removed their household goods to MUIR
ply to be stored temporarily, while Mr..
Sampson looks about for a new location
This pleasant couple have so long been
counted among our best people that
their departure from here is felt to be
almost an irreparable loss, but the bust
ness reverses the gentleman has met.
made him feel the necessity of making
a change. He is undecided as yet as to
where he will locate or in what business
he will engage, but wherever the worthy
couple may go, the people may be as
suied they will find him an honorable
business man and both Of them in every
way worthy of their respect aud conf
dence. After having been in the livery
aud stage business here for good
many years, there is not man can be
found here who will say that Mr.. Samp-
son has not always been strictly honor
able in all his business affairs. The
closing out of mortgage on Ills stage
lines, stock and stables was done ami
cably, by arrangement with his credit
ors, without resorting to law, and there
is not one among them all whose respect
or esteem Mr.. Sampson has lost.
The Murphy Lumber Company, hav-
ing taken over all of the stables, with
the coaches, stock and equipments, i;
now managing the affairs and continu-
ing the service with the same prompt,
ness and efficiency which marked Mr.,
Sampson's former management. But
it is understood that negotiations are
under way for the sale of the property
and transfer Of the mail contracts &c
new parties.

All Breeds Good. i.

A young farmer starting out in bust
ness on q farm wants and certainly needs
to have herd of good cattle. One OF
the first things in this connection thai
will engage his attention is the breed
that he shall select. Many times have
we been asked the question, "What il
the best breed?"
On single page of dairy journal
on our desk before us are five articles,
each one giving an account of the record
of notable herd of cows, and each herd
different breed. The breeds given are
Guernsey, Holstein, Jersey, milking
Shorthorns and Ayrshires, and all OF
them giving milk of a quality that fig
ures high record of butter as we'll af
milk. 1t is thus seen there are good
cows in all the breeds named, and that
establishing profitable herd of COWS is
or may be more selection of individual
animals than a choice of breed. Indeed,
it is true that one may crafty prefer
ence or fancy for particular breed, and
still have a profitable herd through the
selection of individual animals. While
the ShorthOrns are usually classed as a
beef breed, yet even with them there
have been retained here in the Atlantic
States lines of breeding that need only
to be brought into notice to show credit
able records of both milk aud butter, as
we'll as beef when wanted. Thus 1t Is
seen that the advice to choose the breed
one likes the best affords q wide field OF
choice, and still may be all right from a
dairy point of view.-Maine Farmer.

Wooden Sap Utensils Out of Date

The maple sugar maker who caters
to the best trade and expects to make
the best goods, must have clean utensils
adapted to the work. Be prompt in
gathering and boiling of the sap and
putting it in marketable product in the
quickest possible time.
Good sugar has been, and is made,
from sap caught in wooden buckets
from Old-fashioned spouts and boiled in
pans. But the man who could do that
could make vastly better with the new
metal spouts that prevent the tree dry
| ing up and wood becoming contaminat.

draw and storage tanks and one OF the
many direct circulating evapOrators now
on the market.
With the best outfit obtainable the
personal equation is still one-half in the
making of the best goods. Neatness
must be in evidence everywhere. The
draw tank should be scalded and wash.
ed every day especially after the days
begin to warm; the storage tank as often
as possible and the evaporator every
day. The skinner should never gel
cold and damp cloth and pail of clean
water will keep the sides of evaporation
clean as the sap boils up.
Gather sap quickly, boil it at once and
with fire that will make it jump; sugar
off as soon as possible, being sure to get
mallate of lime from syrup either by
straining through felts or settling and
