me-. AGRICULTURAL
REPORTS
Volumes No Practical
Benefit to Farmers
Books Would Make the Best Possible
Kind of Scrap-BoOks.

We commend to our readers care
full perusal of the following
We recei%ed by express free, from
Augusta, Il copies of the annual re-
port of the commissioner OF aRricul-
ture, by which we were reminded that
there was such a thing in Maine as a
commissioner of agriculture and that,
in turn, reminded us that 1t cost
Maine something 10 maintain the
aforesaid luxury, so writes the editor
of the Maine Democrat
To be exact about it We turned TO
page 1913 of the laws Of 1909 and dis
covered that it cost the State some
S11,700 year to maintain this de-
partment exclusive of $4,000 spent in
improving and protecting dairy inter
ests, $4,000 for farmers Institutes,
$1,000 for the pomological society.
$4,000 for agricultural statistics and
$4,000 for enforcing the dairy laws
besides some $4,000 spent in assist
ing the county and State fairs. The
fairs are all right, they furnish a
whole lot of good time for the money
and probably the rest of it is all right
too, with the exception of four Items
the items which make up the $11,700
which first attracted our attention
Those items are commissioner sal
airy, $500; salary OF clerk to the COM
mission, $1,000; travelling expense of
commissioner, $500 and printing re-
port, bulletins, etc, and expenses con-
nected Herewith and incidental ex-
penses, $500.
The Office of. commissioner of agri-
culture IN Maine does not amount 10
anything and is of no value to any
one, excepting, of course, to the CON-
missioner and his clerk. That Sill
7o0 is just as much thrown away as
though the state gave it to De Forest
Keyes. Whoever doubts that propo-
sition should read the annual report
of the commissioner. the receipt of a
dozen volumes of which reminded us
of the matter.
There is not a single original word
in the whole report land it is bulky
work. which contains the slightest
value to a farmer.
1t is padded with lectures on Eu-
rona opd oddroccoc Of ualroDa ond
filled with congratulatory speeches
in which Brother Jones tells of the
great work which Brother Smith has
done for agriculture
1t is not one-tenth part as valuable
a book as the Farmers Almanac. and
is neither as we'll written nor as care
fully edited We are willing to bet q
small but fertile and we'll mortgaged
farm against a corn cob pipe that
there is not n farmer in Maine, nc
matter how illiterate, who will read
this $500 report or who ever did read
one. We will make the same wager
that no man can show wherein this
department has benefited agriculture
in Maine a single dollar in 10 years.
If any of our neighbors want a
scrap-book for the children and will
call at the office we will gladly pre-
sent them with one of these reports
They are excellently bound, would
make ideal ecrap-books, and no mat
ter what sort of stuff should be pasted
in them it will be an improvement on
the original matter.

Pages From An Old Account Book.

Alonzo Richardson of East Skow-
hegan, has brought into our office
some pages of an old account book
dated 1899. There are familiar names
on it's pages but the entries we no.

Rum, l pit. Rum, qt. Rum. l pit. Rum

between those days and these and
some people do not realize the differ

In time to the Wedding March from

del Bradstreet, sister of the groom,
Miss Sarah e. Brown, roommate of

The two groups met before the bay
window under an arch of green, and
Nv A ai vhn nd
there, made the young couple man

green, six young ladies waited on the
guests, Miss Clara Heath, Miss Clara

Lambert was caterer for the occa-
sion.
The brides gown was an imported
one, of very beautiful princess lace
made over white satin. She
wore tulle vail and carried white
bride roses. 1t was an ideal costume
for a bride The maid of honor wore
embroidered pink muslin over pink
silk and the other bridesmaids we're
all in pink. Both they and the maid
of honor carried pink carnations.
They wore also their gifts from the
bride, Miss Carleton a silver chain of
hand-carved links brought from Flor
ence, Italy, and each of the other
bridesmaids a beautiful brooch.
The wedding presents were both
valuable and numerous.

Notice To Fishermnn.

Especial attention is called to
the fishermen Of this city who
have been devoting considerable
time lately to the art of catch
ing the tinney tribe, to the fol-
lowing little item that is going
the rounds Of the papers. Some
awful big fish yarns are being
told in this city lately and we
call attention to the article.
Il heard a man tell a fish story
last Sunday that took the prize.
"One of his own exploits, | pre-
sumo" NO, he read it,"
big story, was it?" Not so
big as it was remarkable. 1t
was about a fisherman named
Peter who admitted that after
fishing all night he hadn't got a
nibble. "

Robin Grattan 36198
ROBIN GRATTAN is a handsome bay

ROBIN GRATTAN is handsome bay
stallion. with dark points. stands l6 hands
and weighs 1,225 pounds; foaled 1902.
Bred by Mcneil Bros, Bowen Ill.
During the past history of the light
harness turf, different families have, in
different years, says the Horse Review,
made some remarkable showngs but it
remained for the Grattan family, in 1905
to eclipse everything of that nature in turf
annals. 1t was a 'Grattan year. from
start to finish and when the returns were
all in there was just one universal verdict:
that nothing like it had ever been heard of
before
Had Grattan's fame as sire to rest
upon 1905 alone it would secure him place
among the greatest of progenitors. But it
is of no such sudden, spasmodic growth.
1t was established years ago, and has ever
since been steadily growing, like the snow
ball of the adage - growing, growing,
growing, until now it has assumed such
proportions as to dwarf that of all but a
scattering two or three other living stall
ions.
Robin Grattan individually is a horse
of grand finish and plenty of substance,
with a fine disposition, deep, strong shout
ders, stout back, very strong loins and sti-
files, strong bone, with good feet and legs.

In Rou- mania alone have the general results because of severe drouths in July, fallen below the pre-harvest estimates The wheat crop of Hungary has also failed to give even moderate results.
 The latest forecast of the probable yield in Russia indicates a general good harvest
 Estimates of the worlds probable wheat crop have been published during the month by two English papers. As com pared with last year they show a gain of about 1855 900 bushels. For corn an in- crease of 265, 100000 bushels. and for barley a gain of 334 100000 bushels are indicated by the estimates of the Hungarian min istry: oats show the enormous increase of 875, ,000O, GOO bushels, while rye is placed at only 24, 900, 600 bushels above last year. crop.
