THIRTY-TWO RIBBONS.
Bert HiltOn's Sheep Win Champion.
ships at Lewiston.

Bert Hilton of Arson, was in town
Friday. He has just returned from
exhibiting his flock at Lewiston, and
was feeling very we'll thank you. He
took down twenty-five sheep and
lambs sold all that he could spare
and came back with thirty-two rib
bons. OF these fourteen were firsts
ten, seconds, and eight, thirds, the
firsts including four championships.
Mr.. Hilton showed Shropshires
Oxfords and Southdowns, but the
first are his fayorites, and make ur
the bulk of his whole flock He en-
countered an unusual demand for
breeding stock this year, selling elev-
en- head at Lewiston and cleaning up
the surplus. Practically all were sold
TO Maine parties at prices ranging
from twenty to thirty-five dollars
apiece, and he could have disposed OF
many more If he had had them. One
man alone was in the market for fifty
ewes, and when he could not get them
direct, negotiated for Mr.. Hilton to &C
over into Ontario and buy them fol-
him.
The Hilton family have long beer
noted as sheep breeders, and Bert
Hiltons father built cottage at the
Lewiston fair grounds, where the
sons stay during the exhibition each
year. All have loyalty stuck by the
old sheep through thick and thin, and
now that interest in that husbandry
is so rapidly increasing, their harvest
bids fair to be substantial.

Dear Sir
l have read with much interest and

cannot afford to allow the control of
this water power to pass out of its
hands into those of foreign corpora

guard against this. and that is public
ownership.
If you can secure this through your
