THANKSGIVING,

For a shelter from the storm,
For a hearthStone bright and warm.
For the little feet that meet me,
For the loving lips that greet me,
For each music-laden word
Praise the Lord!
For the friendly hands we press,
For books cheering loneliness,
For the blessednesS of giving,
For life-Oh, how sweet is living'
Ours the unlOosed silver cord
Praise the Lord!
For refreshing, blessed sleep
Closing weary eyes that weep,
Calming every throb of sorrow,
Making stronger for the morrow.
Holy angels for award
Praise the Lord!
For the tender, budding spring,
For the sweet birds gathering,
For the welcome grasses creeping,
Little woodsde violets peepng,
For the pleasure they accord
Praise the Lord!
For the murmur of the trees,
For the humming of the bees,
For the tinkle of the river,
Where the rushes nod and culver,
For the beautiful abroad
Praise the Lord!
For the laughing summer rain,
And for the sweet autumn's grain,
For the wide and icy winter,
For the seasons as they enter,
For the plenty covered board,
Praise the Lord
For the mountains bold and free
For the mighty, glorious sea,
For the merry brooklet's birth,
Minnehaha's, of the earth,
For the forest deep and broad,
Praise the Lord
For the sound of Sabbath bells,
Waking all the hills and dells;
For the reverential feeling
In ellis holy temple kneeling;
For the preaching of the Word
Praise the Lord!
For the blue outspread above,
Written over with His love;
For the chast'ning rod when straying
For the privilege of praying,
For His plotting sins abhorred-
Praise the Lord!
For the mercies every day,
Strewn like blossoms in the way
Long accustomed to the seeing,
Scarce we notice them till fleeing
IT'S joy, not sorrow, we record
Praise the Lord!

POTATOES IN EASTERN MAINE,

The matter of increase of acreage in
potatoes in the older portion of the
State has been questioned by some and
denied by others. Having the opportu-
nifty to make personal inquiries in
many sections it has been improved
and this is the result. All through the
eastern part of Washington county the
| increase is set at 800 per cent during
the past three years. Central Washing
ton at the same and western at more.
Lubec, it is claimed, will produce this
year over forty thousand bushels where
then it produced ten to twelve or less.
This is the story and when we pass over
into Hancock the increase is still great
er. OF course this means that five to
ten years ago the amount grown was
limited practically to the demands of
the family but no one is startled at all
at the twenty acres or more reported in
every locality as being grown by indi-
ylduals, so the estimate must be con-
| sldered very conservative. What is
still more to the credit of these grow
ers is the yield, which ranges from two
hundred to four hundred bushels per
| acre, the general average being from
two seventy-fve to three twenty five.
Then in section where very few were
marketed five years ago single individu-
ais are housing five to seven thousand
bushels. There is no indication of a
| decadence of our agriculture in such en-
larged operations. Two ~brothers in
Charlotte purchased farm, in addition
to the home place, one mile away, and
put IN twenty-three acres of potatoes
last spring. From one section of eight
| acres they housed one hundred and ten
barrels per acre, and from another six
acres, one hundred and twenty five bar
rels per acre, so that these two farms
produce more potatoes than the whole
town did few years ago, in spite of the
| fact that one individual owner of a
| farm has been lost to the town. Wher-
ever spraying has been thorough no rot
has appeared, while, when this has, in
any way, been neglected, the owners
have suffered. 1t is a pleasure to re-
cord these facts for they indicate, what
is certain to come in succeeding years
in each and every town-an increase in
potatoes far and away beyond present
conditions and, from necessity, follow
Ing this, like increase in grain and
hay. In this a clear promise is given
OF increased prosperity for the agricul-
| tural workers in all this portion Of
Maine.-Dr. Twitchell in the Maine
| Farmer.

The iron pipes for the fish hatcheries
came from England. When the COM
mission was ready last April to pur-
chase pipe it was found that no foundry
in the United States, owing to rush of
orders, was able to furnish this small
amount by October l, when the pipe
was especially needed at the Moxie
pond hatchery. The firm of Fred A
Houdlette & Son, of Boston, importers
of iron pipe from England, came to the
rescue and filled the order.

PREVENTS PNEUMONIA.
Old-Fashioned Home Remedy thnt Is
of Great Value.

In comparing statistics of the fatal
tiles from pneumonia in different
states, it is interesting to notice how
favorably Maine compares with other
states. This is undoubtedly due to the
general use of a simple homemade
remedy composed of four tablespoons
full of molasses or honey and one each
of olive oil and Anodyne. Mix well
together and take in teaspoonful doses.
The Anodyne alone is also applied ex-
ternally on the throat and chest If
taken in time, this will absolutely pre-
vent pneumonia.
Neuralgia Anodyne is also invaluable
in all aches and pains, such as neural
gia, headaches rheumatism. toothache,
bruises, sprains, cuts, chilblains Group,
sore throat, etc. A large-sized bottle
costs but IS cts, and is sold under a
guarantee of satisfaction or money re-
funded. Made by The Twitcheu- Cham

INLAND FISHERIES.

| Owing to the recent death of Mr.
Wallace E. Berry, of Winthrop, emf
nent fish culturist long identified with
Names inland fisheries and for many
| years superintendent of the State fish
hatcheries, Mr.. J. w. Bracket, mem
Der of the commission of inland fisher
les and game, has assumed superin-
| tendcy of the hatcheries and is now on
tour of inspection of them. There
are now nine hatcheries, located as fol.
lows: Oquossoc, at foot OF Rangeley
lake in Franklin county; Raymond on
Sebago lake in Cumberland; Monmouth
and Belgrade both in Kennebec; Moose
head lake in Piscataquis; Lake Auburn
in Androscoggin; Enfield in Penobscot;
Caribou in Aroostook and Moxie Pond
in Somerset. This is the busy season
at the hatcheries, when young fish are
being shipped to ponds and lakes
throughout the State.
Commissioner J. W. Bracket says
that this has not been as good as the
| average season for getting trout eggs,
the trout seeming to have run up stream
earlier than usual, resulting in some in
stances in their passing weir locations.
| The heavy rains, too, came after the
| spawning time of trout, which generally
go up on the rise of water or remain in
| the mouths of streams or the shores of
the lakes. In some places more spent
fish have been found than usual and the
yield of trout eggs is below the average.
The commission will as usual make up
| the deficiency by purchasing some hun
dreds of thousands outside the State
from parties who raise trout for the
market. These eggs will not be brought
into Maine and placed in the hatcheries
until after they have eyed, (which will
| be IN January or February. The pros

month later than trout, or about No

The new fish hatchery at Moxie pond
| III Somerset county, of which G. s.
Pierce of Bingham is superintendent, is
finished, and the work of laying $500
feet of inch pipe up Mosquito brook
completed, until an appropriation may
be obtained from the next legislature to
extend the pipe system 2, 500 feet further
| to pond in order to obtain cool water
for the hatchery during July and
August. The work was done by G..
Learned, of Waterville. At Rangeley
| lake is about to be laid $500 feet of -
! inch pipe in 20 feet of water from a
point opposite Lake Point cottage to
the Oquossoc hatchery, and $500 feet
of II inch pipe will be laid from Panther
| pond to the Raymond hatchery at Sc
bago lake by George n Fernald of
Portland. By this pipe system the
water received at the hatcheries will
not go much above 60 degrees in tenn

The SnOWStorm which commenced at
an early hour Sunday morning and
continued until yesterday morning will

it was just an ordinary snowstrrtll, but
soon after nightfall it cut loose and
frcm that time until about o'clock
yesterday morning, when it ccis ed, it
possessed about as many Of the fca-
lures of Il Western blizzard as Maine
is able to produce.
The storm was accompanied by a
high wind and the snow came down in
clouds which gave the city streets the
appearance of a dense fog. and these
clouds driven by the wind piled int }
drifts everywhere. This was not 50
noticeable in the lower sections of the
city, but out over the hills the storm
held high carnival, and by morning
some of the highways were buried in
drifts fully 10 feet deep. 1t is not
known how much snow fell because
but little of it remained where it land

have been nearly foot.
