The Cook-Peary controversy wakes hot
and is attended with unpleasant features.
Peary's attacks on Dr. Cook are certainly
in extremely bad taste and will do him
no good. DR.. Cooks attitude has been
far more dignjtied and manly. 1t would
seem, however, that the latter made a
mistake in announcing in his address at
Copenhagen that he should reserve the
proofs of his achievement for his book
That might have been we'll had not Peary
come upon the scene with his counter
claims. The situation now demands that
Dr. Cook should make good without I'M
necessary delay, and as he is on his way
nome he will no doubt be heard FROM
One part of his story which led to doubt,
the rate of travel, is amply confirmed by
the statement of Peary's progress. We
hope that the result of Investigations will
substantiate the claims of both Cook and
Peary. There is glory enough for both.

been organized and two reorganized,
Granite Grange, North Searsport, held a
regular meeting September 18th with full
house. This grange will participate in the

October 9Th.
Star of Progress Grange, Jackson, held a
very interesting meeting last Saturday even
ing, with Worthy Master John Goodwin in the
chair. After the usual routine of business the
following program was given: singing choir;
rec, Eliza Goodwin; song, Beatrice Gould;
reading. Mrs. Atwood Bunker; dec, Roy Rob
erts; song, Margaret Clifford; rec, Pearl Chase;

bers present, 40
The Maine Farmer said of the dedication of
State Treasurer Roberts home that the grange
ceremony is most pleasant formality and that
this is department of grange work not hither-
to observed by the Order to any considerable
extent, but is beautiful and impressive in effect
and every one participating in its formalities
can but admit that its lessons will have be-
neficent influence on all members of the Order
taking part in it and occupying one of these
beautiful farm homes. A New York paper in
commenting on this statement said: 1--WE COM
mend the example to members of the Order in
our own state. We like this idea of naming
these country homes and then dedicating them
and all that they represent to the names given
and then ever thereafter designating them by
the names given. The names serves to give
dignity and character to the home and to hold in
bonds of stronger respect and love all those
remaining with it or going out to other homes
from it.

WHAT is HYOMEI?
You Have Heard About the Catarrh Cure
e. r.

A. A. Howes & Co. Guarantees.
Hyome is wonderful antiseptic so power
full that it promptly destroys germ life, yet its
action on the mucous membrane is extremely
soothing and healing 1t relieves catarrh in
five minutes; it cures in a few weeks or money
back.
1t is made chiefly of eucalyptus and eucalyp-
toll taken from the eucalyptus forests of inland
Australia. The medical profession knows that
eucalyptus is an absolutely certain germ de-
stroyer and with the active principles of eu-
calyptus as base Hyomei is made more
efficient, pleasant and quick acting by the ad-
dition of Thymol, an antiseptic and disinfectant
largely employed in the Historian System.
Guaiacol and other important medicinal agents
are also included in the Hyomei formula,
which, without doubt, is the greatest destroyer
of catarrh germs the world has ever known.
Hyomei is powerful, penetrating antiseptic
that is pleasant to use. It does not contain a
particle of cocaine, opium or any habit forming
or injurious drug.
No dosing the stomach when you use Hyo-
mel. Just breathe it in through the small in
haler that comes with each outfit. Sold by
leading druggists everywhere and in Belfast
by A. A. Howes & Co. $1.OO for complete

Whatever the almanac may say, and
regardless Of the fact that Indian sum-
mer is supposedly before US, the white
man S summer of 1909 is certainly
thing Of the past. And looking at it,
not from the agriculturists point of view,
but from the standpoint of general en-
soyment, have you ever known more
delightful summer? Dog days were
eliminated, there has been practically no
fog, the infrequent rains have come
mostly a night, the days have been sum
shiny, with few excessively hot days, and
the air has been crisp and bracing.
Dwellers on the shore or by inland
waters have thus been exceptionally
favored. Something might be said of
the drouth which shortened crops and Of
the ravages of insect pests, but why
bring up the dark side. Take it all in
all it has been glorious summer.

THE APPLE QUESTION.

Every one interested in orcharding
should read the article from the Boston
Transcript on "Apples, East and West.
We have had "the five cent apple" on sale
here, and while handsome in appearance
and attr actively packed it is the verdict
of compel ent judges that in flavor they
are not equal to our best Maine apples,
and we doubt if they are superior in keep
ing qualities They are no doubt care
fully handled and carefully packed, which
of course contributes to their preserva-
ton. The same care given to Maine
apples would at least place them on an
even footing with the fruit of the north
west. 1t has been made possible to grow
these red-checked apples in desert tracts
and or sage-clad slopes by irrigation, of
which interesting details are given-in-
teresting because here in Maine we need
no irrigating bitches or fumes. Then,
too, the cost of cultivating an acre of
these western orchards is given as S125,
and the water charges are about $3.50
an acre year. But the real secret of
the success which is attending apple Gull
ture in the northwest and southwest
Arkansas has its ''big red apples" and
Southern Missouri is in the game-is
simply that modern methods are employ
ed and apple growing is conducted on
business principles. We have orchardists
in Maine-not many, we are sorry to
sav-who are following these methods
and realizing returns which compare
favorably in net results with those of the
western growers. But in too many cases
an orchard which might be made a
source of yearly revenue is sadly neglect
ed. In riding through the country you
will see countless old apple trees carry
ing much dead wood. They are the abode
of tent-caterpillars, infested by borers
and surrounded by suckers. Of course
many of these trees are good for nothing
but fire wood and should be cut down and
replaced by young trees. But wonders
can be done with old trees, as the writer
can testify from personal experience.
Some trees known to be at least fifty
wears old We're in the condition above dis
cribed. The suckers were cut down, the
dead wood cut out, the borers eliminated
and the trunks and large limbs scraped
smooth This process was repeated each
wear and meanwhile the trees were put
ting out new wood, the apples-natural
it-increased in size, and the trees
bore abundantly. The trees were dug
around but the ground was not cultivated,
nor was dressing used, but they were
znulched in the fall with dead leaves. But
while old trees may thus be made useful
1t is better to start a young orchard and
care for it, keeping the trees trimmed
so that the crop may be easily gathered.
Without making a speciality of orchard
ing many of our farmers could have a
small orchard that if well cared for would
contribute materially to the yearly
revenue without involving much addition
al labor and expense. Maine can raise
five cent apples as we'll as Oregon or
Washington.
