CROPS IN NEW ENGLAND.

The present season does not seem to
have been an especially favorable one
for the farmers in Central New Eng
land, according to the trend of reports
received from correspondents of the
Mass achusetts State Board of Agricul-
ture. Crops have been only fairly good,
and cost Of production has been high,
especially the grain bills incurred by
the milk farmers. Returns we're re-
ceived from 1873 correspondents in Mas
sachusetts, from which the following
summary has been made:
The corn crop was below the average
in value both for grain and slower.
Some of it was damaged by frost, other
lots matured but few ears, while corn
raised for silo in many instances failed
to mature properly. Root crops were
considerably below the average, owing
largely to the summer drought, but
prices were good. Potatoes did not rot
badly in Central New England, but the
crop was light. Pastures improved
greatly during the last part of the sea-
son, and late fall feed was good, but
farm stock is, on the whole. thin in
flesh, especially in the droughty Sec
tions. The drought caused heavy ex-
pCuSon AOI ldlA w hCCp VI VIC INV VI
milk, and many farmers have had to
feed hay right along. Less fall seeding
than usual was done on account of con-
tinued drought followed by continued
rains, both conditions badly interrupt
ing farm work during the last two
months. The late seeded fields have
been slow in starting, but seed seems
to be coming up well.
The best feature of the season has
been the general high range of prices
for the produce sold, due, however,
partly to the short crops. Nearly ali
of the correspondents speak of the
prices averaging higher than usual OF
those who mention the most profitable
crops of the season, thirty-nine men,
ton potatoes, fourteen corn, thirteen
apples, eight cranberries, seven onions,
while other fruits and vegetables have
few votes each. OF the least prof.
table crops mentioned, potatoes and
apples are the leaders, showing that
conditions differ widely in different To-
calities. The majority of the CORE
spondents consider the season on the
whole to have been a profitable one for
the farmers.

HOW HER LIFE WAS SAVED WHEN
BITTEN BY A LARGE SNAKE.

How few people there are who are not
afraid of snakes. Not long ago harmless
automobile which was being driven by a
woman. The woman promptly tainted and
the car, left to its own resources, ran into a
stone wall and caused a serious accident.
The bite of poisonous snake needs prompt
attention. Mrs. K. NJ. Fishel, Route No. l..
Box 40. Dillsburg, Pa. tells how she saved
"On August %, 1906, I was bitten on the
hand twice by large copperhead snake.
Reing distance from any medical aid, as a
last resort used Sloan's Liniment, and to
my establishment found it killed all pain
and was the means of saving my life. I am
the mother of four children and am never
without your Liniment"

To Build a Five-Master.

BATH, Me, Dec. 10. Announcement
was made today of the contract for a
big five-masted schooner to be built by
Percy & Small of this city for William
E. Palmer of Boston. The craft is to
be of about 5000 tons and a duplicate
of the Davis Palmer, built few years
ago. Work will be commenced early
next spring. Percy & Small are the
owners of the Eleanor A. Percy, the
biggest American schooner afioat since
the loss of the Thomas w. Lawson, and
were her builders. They are now at
work on a six-masted schooner for the
J. S. Winslow company of Portland

THE SCRIPTURES IN VERSE.
A Great Poet Comes Out of the West to
Strike an Original Note
Letter to the New York Sun. |

Letter to the New York SUM-
When James Bryce lamented the
dearth of modern American poets he
overlooked a genius of the Middle
West who is looming large on the hori-
ION of a starving era. From firm of
Chicago publishers comes neat volume
to my desk for review. 1t is only
through the authors unbounded mod
esty, which l respect by emitting his
name, that New York has not discover
ed this up-to date Milton and at its
cost has neglected to peruSe this newer
story uf Paradise Lost" and after. 1t
is gratifying to note that the book is H.
lustrated by Gustav Dore. But let the
work, which at least is epic in quantity,
sing its own story of the time:
Away back here, removed from sight
Where everything that was was right;
Away back here removed from sin,
Is where this story doth begin.
Of our first parents we read:
When Adam wished to wed wife,
To help him pull his sled through life,
To sew the buttons on leaf pants
And thus his comfort to enhance,
Perhaps Eve she bit her finger nail
And blushed, turned red and then turned
pale,
Her tongue against her cheek did poke,
Then smiled and wet her lips and spoke
All ran as happily as the marriage
bell of fiction until "Eve went and got
an apple of a snake" Then:
Black clouds gather, the torrent pours,
Lightning doth flash and great wind roarS,
The thunderS say as they do roll,
You have mortgage on your soul,
The ragweed and the fOXtail grew
The cookie burr and thistle too;
And Adam to supply his needs,
Must hoe the garden and must NOW weeds.
We pass through many pages of SINH
lar gems to part 2, which, opening with
the flood, "thls was the greatest rain on
EARTH" deals with BaberS confusion:
When workman ordered brick,
Some went and brought that man stick.
Other chapters are given to leading
characters, Moses: "For he was found
by Pharoah's daughter down by the
river side near the water" Elisha:
Who healed the sick and raised the dead,
And thus he drove away all cares.
When children spake of his bald head
The Lord had them eaten by great bears.
Also Solomon:
Two women brought a child one day
And each one claimed it as her kid;
Now Solomon sent right away
To have sword brought-yes he did.
The New Testament is compressed
into 100 pages, from which the follow
ing are typical examples:
But the old Gardarene
By the Lord was made clean,
And the Evil One hoped to the swine.
Simon's wife's mother lay sick of fever
She tried many things but none would re-
lieve her;
The pills and the poultice, the salves and
the tea
With Simon's wife's mother ne'er did agree
By the authors preface and conclud-
ing verses we learn that he sincerely
believes that the immortal work will
achieve serious purpose in sceptical
age.

Quickly he ran into his house and got a

The Republican journal. [volume] (Belfast, Me.) 1829-current, 1907-12-26

Whenever you feel that your stomach has
gone little wrong, or when you feel that
it is not in good order as is evidenced by
mean headaches, nervousness, bad breath,
and belching, take something at times, and
especially after your meals until relief is
afforded. There is nothing better offered
the public today for stomach troubles, dys-
pepsia, Indigestion, etc, than KODOL.
This is scientific preparation of natural
digestants combined with vegetable acids
and it contains the same juices found in
every healthy stomach. KODOL is guar
anteed to give relief. 1t is pleasant to take;
it will make you feel fine by digesting
what you eat. Sold by R. II. Moody.

topic he was discussing. either in court
or on the lecture platform. The statue
was designed by Frederick Ernest
Trieber. Of New York Mr.. Trieber
formerly lived in Peoria and during
his residence here was well acquaint-
ed with Col Ingersoll.
The statue is designed to commem-
crate both the military and civil ca
reer of Col Ingersoll. The project for
its erection was conducted by the In
