Maine Farming Conditions.

4 writer in the New York Tribune
Farmer resents with much emphasis
the vicious attack made upon Maine
agricultural conditions by the calamity
bowler of the Waterville Sentinel and
presents an array of facts and figures
in opposition to the Scntinel's pessi-
mis,ic and wholly unjustified whine
that Maine farms are declining in num-
Der and value and that Maine farmers
are not so we'll off as they used to be.
Says the Tribune Farmer:
Now, what is the condition in Maine
agriculturally? Never in its history
did the State produce so much in vol
ume or value as in 1906 For years
there has been q steady increase in all
farm crops. One cOunty-Aroostook-
produced from 17,000.0Oo to 20,0oo,o0p
bushels Of potatoes, making the total
of the State very close to 33,o00,poe
bushels. The hay crop was over ,oo",-

agricultural progress of the State. Be

minal at Stockton Springs helped in
moving the crop quickly in 1906 because
of the short period required for each
car load in transit. But the Stockton
Springs resources were scarcely equal
to the demands made upon them, al
though many hundred thousand bush
els more than ever before sent out OF
AroOstOoll county were handled. This
year additional facilities have been ar
ranged at the terminal, and 1t Is
thought that there will be less trouble
than ever in moving the crop. Should

licved that 1907 will prove the most
prosperous year ever known in Aroos-

that the work Of digging the great

There is no stopping the prohibition
movement in the South. The two
rival candidates for the governorship
of Mississippi have both declared
themselves in favor of a state pro-
hibitiOn law and it is said that their
action makes certain the passage of
such a law. patterned after the new
Georgia law, when the legislature
meets again. In Louisiana also the
prohibition wave promises to sweep
everything before it, and Alabama,
and North Carolina, Texas which
passed much more stringent laws
against the saloon last winter are
likely to become prohibition states two
years hence.

According to an official statement
issued at st. Petersburg the other day.
no fewer than 81 Russian officers and
% Russian soldiers were killed and At
officers and ~ privates wounded dur
ing the single month of July while en-
dcavoring to maintain order in the
Cars dominions. The proportion of
killed and wounded shows how thor
oushly the work is done by those who
make 4 business of assassination and
rioting in the Russian cities, and the
total figures show that the occasional
assassination which is telegraphed to
the outside world represents but a
small part of the bloodshed in that IN
happy empire. With so many officers
and soldiers killed and wounded it
would be of interest to know how many
people the soldiers themselves killed
while sustaining this loss. OF course
the number would be very much great

later put to death or driven into exil,

A woman in Ohio who died the other
day left an estate Of $4,000 to her pet
horse and pet dog. She said that they
were the best friends She had in the
world. and certainly it was her
privilege to see that they were well
taken care of after her death. She
was at least sure tpat the heirs would
not d" any quarreling over the divi-
sion of the fortune. Not only were
this particular horse and dog the best
friends Of the Ohio woman, but there
nave been great many cases in the
worlds history where people have
found horses ana dogs to be their most
faithful and useful friends. Moreover,
the intelligence frequently shown by
horses and dogs makes that exhibited
by some people, whom many of us
could name, appear of a very inferior
quality. There was a philosopher
once who said that the more he saw
OF men the more he thought of dogs.
Perhaps this Ohio woman looked at
it that way.
