During the next twenty years we are
going to see great revolution in farm
ing. Agriculture is to be more inteli-
gent and more intensive, new plants are
10 be introduced, a better use is to be
made Of the land and an acre will pro-
duce twice as much as it now produces.
Success Magazine.
That is a safe prophesy The revolu-
ton is already underway; intelligent and
intensive farming is making itself mani
fest. Agricultural colleges and expert
ment stations are furnishing practical
instruction in all lines of farm work and
graduates from these institutions are
making good. There is one matter, how
ever which does not seem to be receiving
the attention it deserves, and that is soil
analysis. 1t was brought to mind the
other day when two of our citizens were
comparing notes on fruit trees they had
set out a few years ago. Each had
size and from the same nursery. They
We're set out at the same time and re-
ceived the same care. One has flourish
ed and this year bore abundantly; the
other has not thrived; evidently the soil
is not suited to it. Another illustration:
The soil in the vicinity of town in
Tex as would not produce at profit any
of the customary crops and the land was
worth only dollar and half an acre. A
government expert was sent for. He
came and examined the soil and said it
was good for tomatoes and peaches. His
recommendations were followed, and in a
few years the largest shipments of toma-
toes from any place in the United States
were from that town. A town in Mis-
sissippi had heretofore enjoyed that dis
tinction. Peaches are also coming on
finely, and this land is now worth 5000 to
5000 an acre. An analysis shows the
elements lacking in the soil and thus in
dictates the kind of fertilizer needed,
something that it is important for the
agriculturalist to know.

WHAT IS HYOMEI?
You Have Heard About the Catarrh Cure
A. A. Howes & Co. Guarantees

Hyomei is wonderful antseptic, 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 few weeks or money
back.
1t is made chiefly of eucalyptus and eucalyp-
tol 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. 1t does not contain
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. $1.00 for complete
outfit.

The Lewiston correspondent of the
Bangor Commercial reports that there is
no truth in the report that Ex-Gov. Cobb
will contest Congressman Swasey's seat
and that the fight against Senator Hale S
reelection is given up. 1t is further ad-
mitted that,
The second district is Republican and
the Democrats in the last two congress
sional elections have come nearer to
electing their candidate than they will
again for some time to come. The voters
in this part of the State are well salts
fed with the tariff. They believe that
the business boom is to continue and so
they will not vote to change present con-
ditions
That condition also exists in the first,
thirG and fourth Congressional districts,
and in the State at large

At this writing it has not been official
ly decided as to whether Cook and Perry,
either or both, reached the North Pole.
A few are contending that neither reach
ed the goal; but the public generally is
divided with two factions, one support
ing Cook and the Other Perry. 1t seems
to be case where argument is futile,
and the better way to await develop
ments. In the meantime there is renew
ed interest in the literature of Attic ex-
liberation.

The Portland Press quotes fish war
den as saying; "There is practically no
danger whatever in lobster fishing as
the grounds are in the immediate vicini-
ty Some of the lobstermen could tell
different story. If this warden could
see lobsterman pulling his traps in a
winters gale with the spray freezing on
everything it strikes, or beating home in
a binding snow-storm, he would have to
admit that it is strenuous calling. That
there are no more casualties is due to
the fact that the men engaged in this in

Here are a few facts as stated in
Success Magazine that will surprise many
people Last year the value of all farm
products of the United States was almost
eight billions Of dollars-this year it will
be over eight billions. This is more than
the entire wealth of America in 1850. In
1850 the farms of the United States were
worth less than four billions, today they
are worth twenty-eight billions. Every
day the farms of the country are worth
So, 400, COO more than they We're the
day before" This progress has been
made, this prosperity attained, under
Republican rule. No wonder the people
have shown no disposition to turn owe,
the control to a party whose only admin
istrationin the past fifty years brought
hard times.

one.

two rooms into one. Still the lady was
puzzled ut her knowledge of the place
till she remembered that 1t was a
house she used to go to In her dreams
well, some time passed. and the
agent was up at the house again. when
the lady complained that one part of
the contract had not been fulfilled
They had hired n house and ghost
for the summer, and no ghost had she
seen. The agent replied: OF course
not, because you are the ghost. We
recognized you the moment we saw

and thought instead of read

and inquired:

Mrs. Bowser didn't know any such

Mr.. Bowser spoke of the moon, and
she had once heard him call a neigh
Dor fool for saying that Mars was
Inhabited. She wasn't going to start
q riot. however, and so she replied:
