Rettlement in Full.

Mr.. Geo. Dahnke informs us that
the nine companies in which the
Dahnke-Walker Milling Co. corn
mill was insured, we're represented
here Wednesday and settled in full
every policy on the burnt mill. The
companies are known as the Mill
ers' Mutual, limited to milling prop
erty, affording protection at con-
siderable smaller premium than
the old line conn anies, and from
the character of settlement just
made Just as safe and much more
satisfactory than a number of the
old companies. Mr.. Dahnke stated
that there was no contention over
the settlement whatever. He also
states that the heap of ruins is now
being cleared away and that ar
rangements are being made to re-

Originated in Maine

Pioneer Press: Referring to the query
which appeared last week. as to the term
"blind pig" an old and well-known resi-
dent of St. Paul states that he received
from his father, when a youth, the follow
ing account of the origin of the name.
The incident dates back to about 1851,
the date of the enactment Of the first
"Maine law: "When the Maine liquor
law went into effect there were many in
genious attemps to evade the provisions.
A saloonkeeper in one of the villages of
Maine rented a small building adjoining
his saloon, with which it was connected
by a door cut through the walls. In this
adjoining room, he had a small pig which
he asserted was blind. l do not know
that the pig was totally blind, but there
was a peculiar expression in the eyes Of
the animal which indicated that he might
be blind. The saloonkeeper pasted a
large placard over the door announcing
that a blind big was on exhibition within;
admission 10 cents. Each visitor then
passed into the adjacent barroom, where
he was treated to a drink without charge.
Thus the saloonkeeper could not be
found guilty of selling liquor to his Gus
toners, who paid, not fora drink but to
see the wonderful freak, a blind pig.
From this incident an evasion of the
liquor law has come to be known as
keeping a blind pig"

Regarding Potatoes.

The manager of the Farmer spent
most of week recently in northern
Aroostook County. We endeavored to
gain, if possible, some idea of the actual
facts about the potato crop. As may be
imagined, this is not the easiest thing in
the world. Our actual observations
covered only the section adjacent to
Presque Isle,. but we questioned men
from all parts of the upper half of the
county. These all agree that the crop
will be much lighter than last year.
The acreage is doubtless slightly larger,
but the extremely wet season, which
prevented giving many of the fields
attention much needed, besides retard.
ing growth and causing rust, will make
big cuts in the yields from many farms.
One man got $50 barrels to the acre
last year, and this season, by using ton
of fertilizer to each acre, he will harvest
barely 100 barrels per acre. Many other
farmers expect to get not more than 40
or so barrels, and it is said that some
will give their entire crops to any one
who will pay their fertilizer bills and
shoulder the chances. It is the general
opinion of all the farmers we met that
the average all through the potato dis.
tricts will be between 80 and 80 barrels
per acre. Thus it looks very much as il
the total yield would not reach three
fourths of last years. However, our
readers must not take this statement as
definite or final, but should seek further
information along the same lines.
