Maine Drown Trees for Maine Farms.


Ever since coming to Maine, the
writer has been at loss to account for
the almost entire absence Of commercial
nurseries in this state from which to
supply orchard and small fruits. A
state in large measure fully adapted to
the production of apples, plums, pears,
gooseberries and other small fruit, yet
without any appreciable supply OF &C.
climated stock to draw from for reset
ting and new fruit enterprises. Thou

series in New York and other states,
even to the middle west, which could
easily be produced in perfect quality at
our doors, a. the nursery stock speci-
mems on both Of the farming special
trains amply proved.
In view of the foregoing, it is a pleas
ure to learn that there is good prospect
of new nursery enterprise becoming an
assured fact in Hampden, Ne. While
we are not informed that 1t 10 to special
ize particularly in fruit trees, II is,
nevertheless, start In the right direc-
tion.
Had Maine but we'll stocked nurseries
within her own borders, there would be
much less liability of the dreaded scale
and other noxious insects gaining foot
hold from stock brought in from infested
districts.
About 90 acres are to be cultivated at
first for nursery purposes In the land Of
this new corporation, the officers Of
which are a. follows: Felker L. Tenn

secretary, and Hon. Henry W. Mayo,
DR.. NJ. Farnham and Captain 81. G..

Make Good Butter or None.

It 10 just as easy to make good butter
as poor butter-in fact, little easier.

to keep cows clean with little care, and
it pays. The cream should be skinned
while sweet and warmed to about 70
degrees. Then churn when cooled down

thermometer. Guesswork In butter
making is folly. Churn often, at least
three times q week. The butter will
then be sweet, but II the cream 10 kept .

Cream while ripening should be stir

IDEAL MILK COSTS MONEY.

Relative to the edict Of the Portland
board of health requiring every farmer
to give certificate of examination for
his cows before the milk therefrOm can
be sold in Portland, the inquiries of The
New England Homestead indicate, with
barely an exception, that clean milk,
free from tuberculous conditions, is to be
recommended. However, the city OF
Portland should not expect its producers
to submit to the provisions named in the
ruling of the board of health, unless a
substantial advance in price of milk Is
made. In other words. if the consum-
ers of milk in the city of Portland are so
anxious about the milk supply, they
must expect to pay for the "milken

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
Is the safest and most efficient dislntecta
