Hogs TINT Make Meat.

The hog raisers of Kansas station
made a test to show what kind of a
hog grows the best meat. The weights
of hams in the test were as follows:
Berkshire hams, 23ha pounds; Du-
.roc-Jersey, 24h pounds; Poland
Chlnas. 251a pounds, These hogs in
size were as near the same weight as
possible to get them. The shoulders
Of the B~erkshires weighed 2115
pounds; Duroc-Jerseys, 1917 pounds
and Poland hlnas, 1917 pounds. The
Berkshires have larger shoulders than
the other breeds.
The butcher who saw the hogs
slaughtered thought the Duroc-Jersey
had the most fat on the back the Po-
land China next, then the Berkshire.
The Berkshire ham showed more lean
and less fat than the Poland-C China.
The butchers considered the breed Of
hogs that had the most fat the most
profitable hog, both for the farmer and
the butcher.

Orchard Work.

A good test of a mans Christianity
is to examine his apple barrel from
top to bottom.
A man may be a good woodchopper
hut that Is no sign that he knows how
to prune trees.
An ak and a saw In the hands of al.
ignorant man more damage to
the fruit crops of this land than all the
birds that are Matched.
Fruit sells best when properly grad
ed. The best will bring a better price
and the lower grades will generally
bring as good a price as the entire lot
would If mixed.
Fol summer pruning of trees the best
time is from the 10Th of June to the
10th Of July, just when the sap is run
ming freely. When the tree is in leaf
you can tell better what to cut out.
Some people imagine that all that Is
necessary to have a good orchard Is to
plant a variety of good trees and "let
'em rip" 1t generally takes years to
discover their mistake, but they finally
discover it.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion OF the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by %constitn-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in.
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is tnfamed
ing, aud when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition., hearing win be destroyed forever;
nine cases out OF ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.

utml.Lng waste TImbcr.

The wood chemistry section Of the
Forestry Bureau has been giving some
attention to the subject of production
of turpentine from yellow pine waste.
1t is stated that for the recovery of
%turpentine from waste wood the steam
distillation process Is far superior to
destructive di~stillation, making a more
uniform crude turpentine. and usually a
higher grade refined product The
wastage from the yellow pine cut each
year would yield us much t%urpentine as
the entire present annual output In
this country, with a value of $4,000
600. At the present rate of cutting the
supply of long-leaf yellow pine in the
South will be practically exhausted in
twenty years. but that the methods of
exploitation now In use convert only
about half the tree into market pro
duct.

Feeding Cows on Grass.

Professors Stewart and Atwood, OF
the West Virginia Experiment Station,
last year conducted some careful tests
10 determine whether 1t is profitable to
feed milk cow grain on grass. With
out going into the details of these ex-
periments we quote the conclusions as
follows:
"This experiment clearly shows that
there was no direct financial gain In
feeding the grain to the cows while at
pasture. 1t Is true that the cows
which received grain were uniformly
in somewhat better flesh than those
that did not receive grain, but as far
as the milk Yield was concerned the
increased flow vas produced at an nc
tual loss" Data obtained in similar
experiments at other stations are sum
married., and from these In comparison
with their own Investigations the au-
thors conclude that unless dairy prod
ucts are especially high in price 1t Is
not n profitable practice to feed grain
TO cows at pasture. 1t Is true that more
milk Is obtained and the cows hold up
their yield better and remain in better
flesh when receiving the grain %ratlons,
but under ordinary circumstances there
is no direct profit from the grain feed
Ing, as the increased production usual
ly costs more than 1t can be sold for"

For Service With End Regiment.

Company E Band OF this place has
recently made application to be regu-
larry designated as the Military Band
of the End Regiment of Maine and the
circumstances are such that they are
quite hopeful of receiving the ap-
pointment. 1t seems that Paine's
Band of Lewiston has held this posi-
ton for two terms of three years
each and that there is a likelihood
that they may not be reappointed.
Previous to 1901 Chambers Band and
band having it's headquarters in
Bangor served as the musical organi-
cation of the End Regiment. When
the new appointment is made, which
will be on or before March l, the new
regulations governing the matter will
go into effect. In the past only the
leader and one member of the organi-
cation were obliged to be regularly
enlisted men, but the new rules re-
quire a full membership of twenty
eight men, everyone of whom must
be regularly enlisted. The appoint
ment would be highly appreciated by
Company E Band and those who have
watched their development are fully
confident of their ability to aquit
themselves creditably In such ca
pacity. They would be compelled to
hold themselves in readiness to obey
orders from the Colonel of the Regi.
ment, E. E. Newcomb of Ellsworth,
! for any occasion when he deemed
their presence advisable and would
be compensated for such duties by
the state.
