A Brighton Farm.

Robert Davis of Brighton, who is in
charge OF the Forest Lodge Farms in
that town, the property of c. E.
Tebbs of New York City, was in town
Friday. Mr.. Tebbs is a Journalist,
connected with one of the metropol-
itan dailies, and does not often visit
his Maine farm, but this does not
prevent quite business being carried
on III his name and under such direc-
ton az he is able to give from his New
York Home. He has on the farm at
present seven full blood Durham
cows, SIS Horned Dorset Sheep, sew
eral horses, among them an Arabian,
and % Angora goats. The goats are
not generally kept on Maine farms
but it is possible they could be more
generally raised. These animals
yielded crop of three pounds of
wool each this spring, the usual price
Of which is rs cents per pound
There is generally good demand for
the kids which are reputed to be as
acceptable eating as lamb or mutton
They are rather small, sometimes
dressing but ten pounds. Both Mr.
and Mrs. Tebbs are expected at Forest
Lodge sometime during this summer.

A Cricket Club.

SkoWhegan now has cricket club
and ii seems likely that this game,
which has been and still continues to
be the national pastime in England,
will be frequently played here this
summer. The following account of
the first match is furnished us by an
ardent admirer of that sport.
The members of the Skowhegan
Cricket Club played their first prac-
tice match on Saturday afternoon in
field on Russell Road, kindly loaned
for the OCCASION when an enjoyable
afternoon was spent in this old
English Summer pastime. w. Gaunt
quickly compiled IS runs by his hits,
II. Lowther showed some skill as a
bowler, and also batted nicely. W.
Dawson gave promise of being a
useful batsman besides bringing off
several catches; S. Barrow and j.
Hartley proved themselves all round
cricketers of merit, whilst c. Turner
gave vigorous display with the bat
and also showed some skill behind
the stumps. Should the game prove
a success. an invitation may be ex-
tended to the standard Clubs round
about Lawrence to pay Skowhegan
a visit.

Meeting of the Somerset Pomona

The regular May meeting Of the
Pomona was held with Bingham
Grange Tuesday of last week. Ow-
ing 10 the fact that the session was
postponed from May y, and the busy
labor now demanded by the farms.
the attendance was very light at the
opening of the morning session. The
Overseer, Steward, Secretary and
Ceres were the only officers present.
The routine of business occupied the
morning session and at the afternoon
session the program was taken up
and A. S. Burke in behalf of Bingham
Grange, welcomed the Pomona 10
Bingham and S. +. Emerson re-
sponded to the address OF welcome
The question-"Which is the most
profitable to raise or buy the dairy
cows" was opened by S. f. Emerson,
followed by A. S. Burke, c. E. Ball.
c. NJ. Hall, w. c. Hobart, George
Gordon and Anon Baker. The sec
ond topic-"Does it pay for the farm
er with good farm TO keep a hired
man." was considered by F. E. Davis,
Ii. B. Whittle, t. Z. Bal, Anon
Baker, S. +. Emerson, S A. Burke,
w. {. Hobart and George Gordon.
The consensus of opinion with the
speakers was that it pays better TO
raise the dairy COWS than to go into
the market and buy, and also that as
hired help is today it does not pay
the farmers, as a rule, to employ
hired men. The cost is above the
income. 1t requires too large a per
centage of the net income of the farm
to meet the expense of hired help

fully written paper on the interesting
subject OF our native birds.

The Tide is Turning.

There Is no occasion for the friends
and supporters Of Hon. William T.
Haines for the Republican nomina-
ton for governor to fee discouraged
over the outcome Of the caucuses Of
the past week, as the Waterville can
didate has fully held his own and his
chances are very good. As wa
well Understood Mr.. Fernald had
many early caucuses called IN the
towns in his own territory and thus
took the lead. We are now beginning
to hear from the Haines' sections aud
many delegates are being chosen
instructed for Mr.. Haines. From
low on the gain OF Mr.. Haines will be
steady and it is expected that he will
land fully two-t thirds Of the delegates
remaining 70 be chosen while not all
the remainder will belong to Mr.
ternald as Mr. Boothby will take
some and others will be uninstructed.
At the commencement Of the pres
ent week about halt Of the delegates
entitled to sit in the convention had
been elected. OF these, roughly
speaking, MIR. Fernald has some BOG,
Mr.. Haines nearly 10 with some $50
for COL Boothby and uninstructed.
This is good lead for Mr.. Fernald
but he is somewhat IN the position Of
the army that has used up its ammu-
milton and must watch the other
fellow work for a while. To secure
his nomination on the first ballot Mr.
Fernald has 10 obtain nearly $50 more
delegates. Androseoggin, his home
county, has no more caucuses and the
same condition is practically true of
Franklin. Oxford will give him about
40 more votes and Sagadahoc half
that number. There will not be much
more coming to Mr.. Fernald in his
own district for the portion of Knox
that has not yet held its caucuses is
hostile to him. The Cumberla eau
euses are pretty well in while York
has about IS delegates to choose and
of these, Judging by the results in
York up TO date, Mr.. Haines will get
a large share. This will leave Mr..
Fernald with about 300 votes 10 get in
Eastern Maine and where ne is to get
them is the question that is botAsring
his leaders. The sentiment in Penob-
scot, Piscataquis and Waldo has al
ready been shown to be overwhelm-
ingly against him. He will get some
more votes in Aroostook and Wash
ington, Hancock and Somerset,
although in the latter two counties
most of the Fernald strength has
already been displayed, but will lack
considerable of the number required
to obtain the nomination.

Death by Contact With Live Wire

Charles Knowlton, aged Is, the son
of Judson Knowlton, who formerly

he was out on the Hume we'll field for
practice and going to a part of the
grounds for something, struck his
forehead against a guy wire. This
wire had become crossed with a
heavy current electric wire SO il
knocked the boy down, killing him
instantly, in the opinion of DR.. &. A.
Porter who was called. Young
Knowlton was not seen by his school
mates when he came in contact with
the wire and his body was found
some time later by small boy.

The secret of longevity is to be
found in the inherited cells of the
individual, and not in any special
method of life. The Irish and Jewish
race, according to New York's Board
of Health reports, have furnished us
with most of our centenarians. These
are two races most prosecuted in the
past. The weaker ones having died
out, the stronger survived to breed
succeeding generations. Thus increas-
ing vitality of mind and body was
generated in families, and these have
handed down resistance to circum-
stances of life and climate. The
fittest always are prone to live. 1t
really is the Survival of the fittest,'
every time.
