ADDITIONAL CORN PRIZES.

Through the kindness of men especial
ly interested in the development of the
corn crop of Maine, prizes additional to
those mentioned last week will be offered
for the BEST Acre of Corn" 1t is ex-
pected that this acre will include both
flint and sweet corn. The premiums in
detail, together with the requirements
for entering the competition will be
given the press next week. The annual
convention of the Dairymen's Associa-
ton is usually held during the first week
in December. The place of meeting has
not yet been decided upon, although
Portland has extended very cordial in
vitation to meet in that city. AS the
scope of the work of the Dairymen's AS
ISOLATION is charging somewhat, it seems
altogether probable that the convention
of 1909 will continue three full days and
plans are already developing to make it
the most successful the association has
ever held. Secretary.

Origin of the Grapefruit.

The grapefruit, or shaddock, is a ma
tive of China and was first brought
to the West Indies in 1910 by an English
man, Capt. Shaddock, for whom the
fruit was named; the date of its first in
PRODUCTION into this country has not been
recorded, but it was regarded at first as
OF no value as fruit, being regarded
more as curiosity and used as an orna-
ment. 1t is of the orange family, but
its bitter taste was Objectionable; this
has been modified by cultivation, so that
it has, in recent years, come into general
use as valuable desert fruit, especially
for eating in the morning. 1t is now ex-
tensively grown in Florida and Califor-
MIA, as well as in the West Indies and all
tropical countries, being somewhat more
tender than the orange. 1t grows on
tree much larger than the orange, but in
much the same manner as its sister
fruit; sometimes singly and at others two
or three fruits in cluster. The name
grapefruit was, however, not derived
from that, but from the fancied resem-
blance in favor of the fruit to the grape.
The fruit is also known as the pomelo,
pumelo and pompelmos.

THE NEW DOG LAW.

In another column are published the
new features and more important por-
TONS OF the dog law enacted by the
Legislature recently adjourned. It was
much to be regretted that those sections
providing for full control of dogs by
owners were either eliminated altogether
or the teeth extracted from Them
Nevertheless, a careful comparison of
the law as enacted with that enacted by
the Legislature in 1907 shows several
encouraging gains.
First, the annual license fee on female
dogs, capable of producing young, is
raised to SIS. Is, which will prevent MANY
female puppies from growing up to
multiply sheep killing dogs.
Second, officials in charge of settling
for sheep killed or injured, can no longer
say sheep is a sheep and insist on
settling for So per head. The new law
provides for the town or municipal
official and owner of the sheep each
selecting a referee in case of difference
of opinion, and these two selecting a
third party to adjudge the value and this
decision shall be final. A good gain, this.
Third, the provision of the new law,
which imposes fine of $50 to 500 on
the owner of each dog proven to have
killed or injured sheep, is that he shall
either kill the dog or pay the fine speci-
fed.
Fourth, the provision in Section 81
which gives concurrent jurisdiction with
superior and supreme judicial court to all
trial justices, municipal and police courts
for the purposes of this law, will mate
rally assist in the carrying out of the
provisions of the law.
1t was indeed unfortunate that a
.'close time" on dogs was not secured
for portion of the year as start in the
right direction. Even Withholding dogs
from running at large-unless in full
control OF master or keeper or else safe
ly muzzled-during four or five months,
say from April to August, would be a
distinct gain and could the time be ex-
tended to the entire season when the
ground is bare of snow, sheep owners
could arrange to provide dog proof en-
closures for use during the snowy season.

PLANT DISEASES IN MAINE IN 1905

In bulletin 1854 of the Maine Expert
ment Station several topics are discus
sed which are of special interest to the
fruit and potato growers and to the gen
eral farming and forest interests as well.
Observations and experiments upon a
variety of lines of plant disease work
are recorded among which are the fol-
lowing:
The continuation of an experiment in
Aroostook county shows that while linn
ing is exceedingly beneficial to the grass
and clover crops, even moderate appli-
cation of lime to the soils in that section
leads to a considerable increase in the
amount of scab on the potato crop, even
after three years In grain and grass.
Two successive crops of potatoes on
lined soils after two years in grass
showed an alarming increase of scab on
the second year crop.
An experiment is described in which
self-boiled lime-sulphur mixture is used
as substitute for Bordeaux mixture in
the treatment of apple scab.
The relation of weather records to
winter injury of fruit trees and its prac-
tical bearing upon what varieties of ap-
pies are safe to plant in given locality
is treated in some detail, and it is shown
that the peculiar ''crotch injury of ap-
pie trees, so common in the summer OF
1907, is probably form of winter injury
or ''frost patch"
Under the heading, ''Winter Injury of
the White Pine in 1902 the writer of
the bulletin maintains that the common
trouble with the pines last season was
not the same as has been found in some
localities in Maine and in other parts of
New England and described under the
name of ''white-pine blight The most
common and universal trouble with the
young pines last season was in all prob
ability of a transient nature and due pri-
marily to adverse weather conditions,
although certain insects took advantage
of the precarious condition of the trees
and assisted in increasing the amount of
injury.

A TELEPHONE IMPROVEMENT.

To THE EDITOR OF The JOURNAL. One
of the greatest blessings to country life
is the telephone, but the disposition of SO
many to listen, when not called, to what
others are saying is generally nuisance.
This nuisance deprives the service of all
privacy; but what is still worse, SO many
receivers are frequently off at one time
that it overloads the line SO one cannot
hear at all, especially if one is trying to
talk beyond the limits of single circuit
If we are obliged to wait until moral
culture can cure this depravity it will be
long wait.
If we get wireless telephones the
''rubber-necks' cannot over load the
line, but will private communications be
possible? AS two wires of the same
length, size and tension respond to each
other, it would seem possible to get pri-
vate communications by wireless by put
ting into each house wire of different
size or tension, with like wire in the
central office for each house. Then CEN
trail could connect, when called, one
house with another by connecting their
two wires in the central Office, thus caus-
ing communication on an A wire to vi
brate B wire, and so on.
With our present wire-line telephones
the rubber-neck nuisance can De stopped
by each house having complete line to
central, and thus be in connection direct
from one house to another only when
connected by central. But this would
take vastly more wire. Some tell-tale
Office each receiver that is off, and thus
making sure detection and a fine possible
for every rubber-neck, would cure the
nuisance. May it not be possible to do
this without additional wires by having a
vibrator in each phone that would work
when the receiver was first taken off, the
vibrator to be made to tick audibly the
number Of the receiver that is off. One
tick and pause, one tick and pause, one
tick and pause would show that the re-
ceiver on phone No. l, was off. Two
ticks and pause three times repeated,
would show that the house with phone
No. 2, was listening. By proper code
of numerals this system would instantly
report to central and to the two parties
talking to each other, and thus, in hearing,
who was trying to listen.
In the cities people do not suffer from
this rubber-neck nuisance, but in the
farming districts it is practically intoler-
able, and there ought to be a fortune for
whoever will invent remedy.
In the last twenty-four hours | have
been practically cut off three times by
the rubber-necks, and | seldom take off
my receiver to answer a call without
hearing from one to a dozen receivers
come off or go on before get through.

Origin of the Baldwin Apple.

The Baldwin apple originated from
chance seeding in lane on the farm of
John Ball, in the town of Wilmington,
Mass, and bore it's fruit about the mid
die of the 18th century. For many years
after the original tree came into bearing
the variety was confined to the immedi-
ate neighborhood of its origin. Having
attracted the attention of Col. Baldwin
of Woburn, Mass, it was propogated by
him and rapidly disseminated through
out the adjoining towns. Before the
middle of the 10Th century it had become
the leading variety in New England nur-
series. At about the same time it became
popular in New York and soon after in
Michigan. 1t was at one time planted
further south, but it was found that the
fruit ripened prematurely and did not
keep we'll.
