THE OLD STEAMER PIONEER.

Many of our readers will remember the
old steamer Pioneer, which began running
to Castine and Brooksville in 1874, and
which carried many excursions from this
port, and will be interested in the follow
ing letter written on board the old craft
in Boston harbor Oct. 18th, by George
Batty and published in the Rockland
Courier Gazette:
1t is my fortune TO again be connected
with steamer Pioneer (the Old Rellable),
that used to push the tides about Rock
land. The old craft is by no means dead,
and today is making her regular trips
down Boston harbor to the mud-dlggers
working in the Sound. The work it now
is doing is carrying water, and 1t IS a
reliable water wagon.
The pilot house is still in place, and one
mast. while aft there is a low box-like
house under which is the boiler and en-
gines that used to be in steamer Electa,
another Penobscot Bay steamer Inc
steamer is going over more miles IN her
regular trip each day than she used TO
when on the Vinalhaven route. 1t IS now
the property of the Eastern Dredging
Co., and in the galley OF the craft there
is yet served as fine square meal such
as in her old days gave her the well known
excellent reputation.
But water is mostly in evidence now,
and the sheriffs don't call around. For
myself, | too am prospecting after series
of ups and downs, and am engineering for
the dredging company.

A Cure for Hog Cholera.

Hog Cholera or Swine Plague as it is some
times called is highly contagious disorder
When hog shows any symptoms of this dis
ease he should be isolated at once and the pen
fumigated in order to save the other hogs II
possible.
Mix one part Sloan's Liniment with two parts
milk in bottle and give every sick hog table
spoonful of this mixture night and morning Tor
three days. Sloan's Liniment is powerful
antiseptic, kills the disease germs, soothes all
inflammation and acts as a tonic to the animal.
A. j. Mccarthy of Idaville, Ind, says: "My
hogs had hog cholera three days before we got
Sloan's Lniment, which was recommended to
ME by neighbor who was using it with sue
cess. l have used it now for three days and
nv hogs are almost we'll. One hog died before
l got the Liniment, but l have not lost any
since"
Mr.. G. w. Balsbaugh of Peru, Ind, writes:
81 had four pigs that were coughing and were
not doing well. 1 gave them some of Sloan's
Liniment and they got better at once"

To Defend Yankee Sparrow
Vices of Foreign Sparrows Make Native
Songsters Suffer. National University
of ORTHODOXY May Right The Wrong.

NEW YORK, Oct IA. Because not one
American in hundred has been found
who knows the difference between the
pestiferous European House Sparrow,
commonly known as the English sparrow,
and the intensely valuable sparrows ma
tive to this country, an educational cam
paign is being launched in this city to-day
with the object of making every citizen
Of the United States acquainted with his
feathered compatriots. Taking as a
text the sins of the foreign bird which are
visited upon the head of his innocent
American cousins, the National Asso-
citation of Audubon Societies is planning
to establish what may prove a university
of ornithology for the nation. When an
ADEQUATE endowment for such an lnstl-
tuition is provided it is intended to carry
the simple facts Of bird habits and eco
nomic value to every mind in the land.
That ignorance of the distinction be-
tween the native sparrow and the MUIR
~
causing the wholesale slaughter of Amer
ica's most valuable bird race has been
proven by recent Investigations OF the
projectors of this scheme. Great num-
bers of the little Yankee birds, who 1t has
been shown clear ninety per cent OF the
weeds from every garden and field, are
found to be falling before the uniformed
ravenger Of the ravages Of their cockney
cousins. That "a sparrow is sparrow"
has been discovered to be the unhappy
belief of the great majority of the people
of this country, where the pest OF the
English House Sparrow is being more
and more resented.
With score of such species as the
Tree, Chipping, Field, Swamp, Lark,
Grasshopper, Vesper and Song Sparrow,
the Junco and Grosbeak, enlisted to kill
weeds and harmful insects for the farmer
and orchardist in every section OF this
country, the government authorities have
declared the American sparrow to be OF
greater value to agriculture than any
other species and well worthy of protec-
ton and encouragement" Exhaustive
scientific Investigations by these experts
have proven that the native sparrows are
practically innocent of consuming any
cultivated fruits, while the English spar
row is notorious destroyer of buds and
blossoms, grain, fruit and garden seeds.
This imported House Sparrow, utterly
unlike ours, is also guilty Of driving away
native birds from their fields of useful
ness and in addition is noisy and filthy,
befouling vines and buildings.

Concerning Country Life.

WASHINGTON, October 26. President
Roosevelt's mail is stacked high these
days with letters concerning the Com
mission on Country Life, which he re-
Gently created, and the number OF COM
munications on the subject is growing
greater daily. A rather strange feature
of this correspondence, considering the
far-reaching significance of the Com
mission, is that so far it has contained no
word of adverse comment from any
quarter. The suggestions are all con-
structive, and many of them will prove
of great help to the Commission when
it formulates its plan of campaign.
Many of the letters to the President are
from men whose names are known every
where, but the bulk of them are from
the men who are most vitality interested
the farmers themselves. The general
tenor of the farmers letters shows that
not only are they deeply concerned in
the work of the Commission, but that
they have clear headed ideas of the
Presidents purpose in starting the in
quiry and of what the outcome may be.
The writers get down to the business
and set forth their ideas with hard
headed logic and clearness of statement
that it makes it seem little doubtful If
the belief of some persons that rural
schools ought to be improved is we'll
founded. The farmers themselves, how
ever, agree that the educational facili-
ties in the country districts ought to be
made over so as to fit country conditions
and needs more closely. A number of
writers urge the need of introducing
some sort of elementary agriculture into
the schools. Not all are of this opinion,
however. Some maintain that there is a
danger of trying to make agricultural
instruction too academic.
The one point in which all the farmers
without exception agree with the Presi-
dent is that the greatest trouble with
agricultural life is its isolation. The
remedy for this that is most frequently
proposed is better roads. Another solu-
ton that is advocated by large proper
ton of the writers is that a means be
sought to prevent the holding of large
farms by persons or corporations who do
not work them themselves. The argu
ment is advanced that such action would
attract settlers to the country and that
the wide spaces between farms would be
broken up, and that, further, if the big
tracts which are now worked by absentee
owners or held for speculation were split
up among independent owners, there
would be greater opportunity for small
farmers to come in and gain profitable
livelihoods.
A number of the Presidents CORE
spondents urge a revival in some sort of
the old lyceum which provided a social
center for rural communities. Several
writers tell of excellent results that have
been obtained in their own neighborhoods
by literary societies, not so much in their
educational capacity as in providing
community bond.
Many suggestions are made concerning
the postoffice service.
All these letters are being filed and the
gist of their contents will be brought be-
fore the Commission for its considera-
ton.

FORESTRY FACTS.
TREE PLANTING IN NEW ENGLAND
ON ABANDONED FARMS.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct 18th, Cor
porations and private citizens through
out New England are beginning to real
ize the opportunities which this region
offers for profitable forest planting.
This year about $500 acres have been
planted in the six New England States
by private citizens. In addition, num-
Der of water companies have adopted a
forest policy. The largest plantation Of
this character, which comprises over
1000 acres, belongs to the Metropolitan
Water and Sewerage Board of Clinton,
Massachusetts.
One of the most important phases of
reforestation in New England is that of
planting abandoned farms and other
waste land, which at present is bringing
no income. In Massachusetts this waste
land amounts to ten per cent of the total
area of the State, while the latest re-
ports in Rhode Island show 22S aban-
doned farms. 1t is this type of land
which is now being planted. Wealthy
men here see a good investment, and
number of them have planted tracts of
at least so acres each this year, with the
intention of increasing the size of s.the
plantations annually. One owner in
Massachusetts who started white pine
plantation of GO acres this year, expects
to plant so acres annually for the next
ten years., while others intend to plant
tracts of various: sizes ranging upwards
to 200 acres apiece next spring.
White pine is, of course, the species
most generally planted, but other species
which make excellent growth and are
being used more and more are Norway
spruce, for timber and pulpwood; chest
nut, for telegraph poles, posts, ties and
lumber; red oak, for piles and ties;
black locust, for fence posts, and sugar
maple for a variety of products.
1t is not only on these tracts of waste
land that planting is beginning to play
such an important part. The practical
farmer in this region now realizes that
the cheapest and best way to get the
special wood products which he needs on
his farm, is by planting the trees. He
realizes, too, the protective value of
plantations which serve as shelterbelts
and windbreaks. Altogether, this region
offers excellent opportunities for tree
planting.
