CULTIVATED BURBERRY COMING.

Cultivated blueberries have never been
success. In spite of continued effort,
not whole crate Of them in the aggre-
gate reaches the Boston market in any
year. Under cultivation the blueberry
becomes a Towering plant, and in time
loses its character altogether. This has
been one of the mysteries of horticul-
ture. How to make the berry ''thrive
under cultivation" has been the trouble
some question, rather than how to
improve it's flavor, size and quality by
cross breeding. It was obvious that this
could be done just as with other cultiva-
ted plants; the trouble has been in getting
the bush to remain productive.
The Agricultural Department has now
under way experiments in greenhouses
in Washington and, in a small way, in
the pastures at Greenfield, N. H., under
Mr.. Frederick V. Coville, the chief bot
anist, which now appear exceedingly
promising. 1t has been discovered that
the BURBERRY requires an acid soil,
whereas the first process in the cultiva-
ton of the great crops of the world is to
remove that element from the earth.
The roots of the BURBERRY carry bene-
fetal fungus, enabling them to assimi-
late the food which it draws from an acid
SOIL The retention of this acidity
through suitable ground covering, on
nearly worthless areas possessed Of the
proper soil elements, seems to furnish
the key to the new cultivation.
With bushes six or eight feet high,
closely set, the yield per acre of this
berry will be many times that of the
product which now reaches the market.
So much of the hill country of New Eng
land is good for little else that the pre-
diction is freely made that the blueberry,
repeating the experience of the cram
berry, will witness development limited
only by the absorbing power of the con-
suming markets Its producers will not
have to plough their soil, distinct adj
vantage to them in rocky and billy coun-
try. Were they to do so they would les
Sen the element most useful for the
plants success. 1t will grow with sur
prising ease.
The value of such crop not only to
the consuming public but to the small
farmers Of New England can hardly be
overestimated. 1t is not proposed greatly
to increase the size of the berry, but
rather to devote the best efforts in cross
breeding to the improvement of the
flavor: The berry now growing in the
greenhouses would not be regarded as
exceptionally large. Size is nowhere
nearly so important as texture and flavor
and to improve these the experiments
have been directed, with highly crafty
ing results. 1t will be several wears
before the cultivated BURBERRY becomes
a commercial factor, but that it is on the
way, the Washington scientists now
insist. Boston Transcript.

A Woman's Idea of Summer Comfort.

To every woman, especially the woman who
keeps house, the topic of summer comfort in
the home is one of never failing interest
This is particularly true where comfort in
in the kitchen is concerned as it is in this one
room that the most trying part of the work is
done, such as cooking, baking, ironing, and
heating water for wash-day purposes. Even
in cool weather such work is not altogether
welcome, but it becomes drudgery on days
when the mercury is trying to jump through
the top of the thermometer, aided by a hot
stove that diffueses its almost unbearable heat
through the kitchen.
But such days are past. With the New Per-
lection Wick Blue Flame Oil Cook Stove, kitch-
en- drudgery becomes kitchen comfort for this
wonderful stove is so constructed that it not
only produces quick results, but does it all
without perceptbly raising the kitchen tenn
perature.
All this means real comfort to the woman
who works in the kitchen, especially when con-
sidered with the added advantages in the saw
ing of time; in the doing away with all carry
ing of coal, wood and ashes; in having stove
that can be turned on or off, high or low, as
required; and in not having to keep it lighted
when not in use.
Then there is the saving of fuel to be con-
sidered and it is here also that the New Per-
lection excels Although equipped with three
burners it has but one oilreservoir, thus reduc-
ing three separate filling operations to one
Besides all this, the "New Perfection is the
only oil stove built with cabinet top Its
commodious top shelf is particularly useful for
warming plates and keeping food hot after it is
cooked In addition there are two drop shelves
on which may be set the teapot or coffee pot
and small cooking utensils. Also has two
racks for holding towels.
Altogether the "New Perfection" is a stove
of wonderful utility. Its extremely handsome
appearance sets off any kitchen to full advan-
tage. 1t is superior to the hot coal range no
matter what the point of comparison may be
or whether regarded as summer stove only or
as stove for year round use.
Another household article of unusual con-
venience is the Rayo Lamp scientifically
constructed lamp that will adorn any room
whether library, parlor, dining room or bed
room. The Rayo Lamp gives mellow, steady
light that does not tire the eyes. Its center
draft burner of the latest design and its fine
porcelain shade make it lamp of combined
usefulness and beauty.
The New Perfection Wick Blue Flame Oil
Cook Stove and the Rayo Lamp constitute two
household articles that will meet any woman's
idea of home comfort. In the thousands of
homes in which, they are already used they are
making things cheerful because of their abso-
lutte safety, great simplicity, and wonderful
convenience.

Business Men Tell of Its New Industri

Business Men Tell of Its New Industries.
Rockland's industries formed the
theme of three interesting papers read
at the annual banquet of the Rockland
board of trade at Crescent beach, April
prevalent and the business men were
united in the belief that Rockland has
arrived at turning point of greater
prosperity industrially.
An interesting address was that by AL
fred S. Black with reference to cement
industry which is expected to be in
operation by March, 1910.
Important properties have already
been purchased and surveys are being
made for railroad which will connect
the Quarries with the water front A
plant with capacity of l,00O,0 600 barrels
of cement per year is planned. The cost
IS estimated at $4,000 in addition to
which a working capital of S125, 900 will
be required, together with a tug and
three barges costing about that amount.
The plans contemplate the use of 900
tons of raw material daily. Some local
capitalists are identified with the pro-
posed industry, which also has the back
ing of prominent fnanciers outside of
New England.
Alderman G. H. Blethen read paper
concerning a stone plant which is being
established in Rockland and which in it's
present state represents a value of $50,
900 A shed 533 feet in length is in
course of construction. The plant will
give employment to about 100 stone cut
tiers.
Interesting phases of the lobster situa-
ton were discussed by Mayor Albert c.
MeLoon, who spoke from the standpoint
of wholesale dealer who has shipped
many thousand Holsters. Mayor McLoon
'contrasted the present conditions with
those of 80 years ago.
The increased demand upon the Maine
lobster fishery is due in part to unwise
and unenforced laws of other States and
in part to the extended market. Rock
land now ships to every State in the
union east of the Rocky mountains and
with Mexico and central Canada. Mayor
McLoon commended the present laws and
the work of the government hatcheries.
Nearly 100 business men attended the
banquet, and Postmaster W. o. Fuller
was POSTMASTER. At the annual bust
ness meeting the following officers were
elected: A. S. Black pres, c. F. Sim
mons, vice pres, and John w. Thomas
sec-treas.
Hoarseness, bronchitis and other throa
troubles are quickly cured by Foley's Hone
nd Tar as it soothes and heals the inflame
throat and bronchial tubes and the most obsti-
nate cough disappears. Insist upon having the
genuine Foley's Honey and Tar. Sold by all

THE BEST CANOE CRUISE IN MAINE

In an article describing two-weeks'
canoe trip on the Allagash and ST.. John
rivers, published in May Recreation, the
writer gives complete data concerning
the entire trip. In part he says: ''Of
the many picturesque and interesting
canoe trips which the State of Maine af-
fords, that down the Allagash and St.
John rivers is the best Nature has so
planned the whole route that the trip
improves as distance is covered. Start
ing with slow streams and one or two
carries, a series of picturesque lakes are
traversed, each different from all the
rest and growing wilder until Churchill
Lake is reached. From this lake the
quick plunge through the mile of white
water known as Chase's Carry gives the
first encounter with the Allagash. To
complete the interest and excitement of
the trip the running of the long series of
rapids of the st. John makes fitting
climax. Log cabin camps are now plac-
ed at such intervals that it is possible to
make the entire trip with very little tent
ing. However, to most of those who
make the trip the pleasure of camping
along the lakes and rivers with balsam
boughs and an evening campfire will APP
peal as strongly as the days canoeing.
Camp grounds are numerous all along
the way and good ones are always to be
found near the best fishing pools. Two
men with two guides form an ideal party
for this trip. Two canoes will carry all
provisions and camp equipment for ten
days or two weeks in the woods. Maine
guides on trips of this sort are paid three
dollars each per day. This includes the
canoe with cooking and camping outfit,
but usually only tent for the guides
themselves. One needs a tent and fly
extra, the latter to shelter the table and
supplies when permanent camp is made.
Outside of these ones personal effects
should be limited to fifty or sixty pounds.
These should include for each man a
rubber blanket, a pair of heavy double
blankets, poncho, some sort of rubber
coat, or better still, suit of yachts
mans oilskins, sweater and some extra
clothing, depending upon the time of
year in which the trip is made. Other
small articles may be taken, but it is best
to leave out everything unnecessary.

The above act is noteworthy for the
three great signatures it bears. Judge
Story, Harrison Gray Otis and Elbridge
Gerry, then governor.
The heading of the above act reads,
An Act in explanation of part of the
fourth section of an Act, entitled "An
Act to authorize George Ulmer to build
toll bridge at Lincolnville in the County
of Hancock"
Instead of allowing Ulmer to run lot
terry to raise money to rebuild the bridge

airy 26, 1908, granted to ''The Proprietors

set (his son-in-law). The bridge was not
mentioned and no other deeds are on rec
ord concerning it. l doubt if it was ever
wholly rebuilt as toll bridge.
In 1903 Ulmer sold one-half of a saw
mill near the bridge to Samuel A. Whit
ney, merchant of Castine. Ulmer was
at one time sheriff of Hancock county,
which then took in the great counties of
Washington and Penobscot and most of

that Ulmer died in 1926, his widow, Mary,
