KENNEBEc REPUBLICANS
Will Meet in Convention at 1890 This
Morning in City Hall.

The Republican county convention
will be called to order in City hall at
1890 o'clock this morning and it is
safe to predict that it will be the most
interesting that has been held in Ken
nebec county in a number of years,
and especial interest attaches to the
occasion as owing to a change in the
basis of representation the member
ship of the convention will be about
twice as large as in former years.
1t is understood that Hon. William
]. Thompson of South China will be
made temporary chairman of the con-
vention. and the reports of the COM
mittees on credentials and resolutions
will be next in order for disposition.
1t is probable that this business will
occupy a greater part of the forenoon.
The next business in order will be
the nomination of candidates and the
list is not short one. The three
senators from this county will doubt
less be nominated by reclamation, each
having served but one term, and in
keeping with the general practice of
the party. they are entitled to re-
nomination. They are Hon. f. |.
iIeseiton of Gardiner and Hon. Will
liam NJ. Aver of Oakland.
Sheriff Frank j. Ham will be a cam
didate for denomination.
There is a contest on for the nOmi-
nation for register of deeds. Three
| candidates will be presented to the
convention; they are Harry p. Halves
Of Vassalboro John A. Spear of West
Gardiner and f.. F.. Peacock of Read

The candidates for nomination for

p. Foster of Waterville, Edward NJ.
Thompson of Augusta and Guy a.
Hildreth of Gardiner. The delegations
frOnltfhe three cities name.l are in

A strong contest is expected in the

Flowing Under Drv Manure

O'aUoA ny 3AnAul0.
AS a rule we do not fully appreciate
the bad results that are to follow the
blowing under of a heavy application
of dry manure. Disastrous results
are especially liable to follow if the
soil is inclined to be dry, or in case
there should be shortage of rain
fall -
Everyone understands that but a
small percentage of the moisture used
by the growing crops is caught by the
plant roots in it's downward course.
AS the rain passes through the furrow
slice and into the subsoil to be grad
ually brought back toward the surface
by capillary attraction, it thus
comes within reach of the plant roots.
If this subsoil is separated from the
surface soil by coarse manure the
capillary attraction is cut off from
the surface soil that contains the
plant feeders, therefore they cannot
be supplied with sufficient moisture.
When this manure is dry practically
no moisture can be taken through it
from below. Thus moisture can only
come from above, which of course
will be inadequate unless showers
should be very frequent.
Every observing plowman who has
plowed a field in the fall in which a
large amount of coarse dry manure
was turned down the previous spring
has noticed the peculiar character of
this old manure as it is again
brought to the surface. Layers of dry
straw are found surrounded with
mold, which absolutely check all
moisture in it's upward course. This
layer Of coarse dry manure forms
what we might term an insulation be-
tween the upper and lower soil.
Therefore all coarse straw manure
that must be plowed under this spring
which has,been spread by hand should
be first gone over with a harrow or
such implement as will thoroughly
break it up-before it is turned under.
Coarse manure should under no
circumstances be turned under during
dry hot weather. It is better to wait
few days for rain and then turn il
under as soon as possible before ii
has time to dry out. However it is a
still better plan to keep the manure as
much as possible on the surface.
Two principles are becoming well
rooted in the minds of every thought.

full farmer. The first is that manure,
to do the most good, should be kept
as near as possible to the surface of
the ground, and the second that it
should be spread evenly and compar-
atively thin, and while we cannot al
ways do as we should like, these prin-
eiples should be observed as far as is
consistent with the conditions under
which the manure must be handled.

Microbes Held No Fears for Jerry.
Two congressman were talking about
the late Jerry Simpson.
''He was a level-headed man," said
the first. Gle was foe to fads. He
had a shrewd humor.
''He and I and a clergyman one
day lunched together. The clergy
man was a faddist of a marked type.
He carried pocket microscope, wore
health underwear, and so on and so
forth.
"This clergyman wouldn't drink
any water with his lunch.
:" wouldn't dare to do so,' he
said solemnly. 1t is so full, you
know, of ,animalculae, never; drink
water unless it has been boiled.
( Congressman Simpson emptied
his glass, and looked at the clergy
man with quizzical smile. .
