MAINE FIRE LOSS.
Amount of Damage Done In State Dur
Ing May.

From statistics secured at the Office
of Hon. Beecher Putnam of Houlton
insurance commissioner of the State
of Maine, and taken from the Stand
ard, an insurance paper published In
Boston, 1t Is learned that the fire loss
es for May, 1910, were nearly $1,000
600 heavier than for the same month
last year, although the number OF
fires shows material reduction.
There were three fires during the
month on which the combined loss
was upwards of $3.550000 which ac-
counts for the increase in the month 8
total.
Regarding the fire loss In Maine
during the month Of May 1t is learned
that the number of fires which oc-
CURED in the State during the month
where the resulting loss was $4,000
or over, was three, the total loss
therefrom being $115,000. In May,
1909, the number OF fires of the above
class which occurred was four and
the loss was $45,000, comparison Of
which with the loss of May, 1910,
shows an Increase of $4,000 in the
losses of the latter month. Compared

month Of April, which was $4,000,

Energetic Young Farmers

Friedrich Brothers of Norridgewock
are good representatives of what can
be done on run out farm by ener-
getic young men who are willing to
work and know how. The Frederick
farm or farms Is situated about two
miles west of Norridgewock on the
Mercer road. There are more than
200 acres, and much of 1t was In a
run down condition when the present
proprietors took hold 1t was form
erly the farm of ID. F. Frederick, who
left it to his sons. Despite the poor
weather they have got rs or 80 acres
in crops this year. A dozen acres OF
potatoes are up and were hoed week
ago. They have some 40 acres OF po-
tatoes all told. They have three acres
of corn, an acre of beans and quite a
large acreage of corn and beans
mixed. They are not only increasing
their crops each year but they are
adding to the fertility of the farm ev-
cry year. which as will readily be
seen is a gain in both directions.

An Excellent Plttsfield Farm.

w. L. Small, formerly of West
Pittsfeld, has purchased the Tom Full
ler farm at West Hartland and has
started in as a potato grower this
year This Is an excellent farm ol
l50 odd acres and Mr.. Small has
planted three acres of sweet corn and
an acre to beans. He keeps fou1
cows, but his specially is hogs. he
having recently sold 28 for the high
dollar, but has seven left and will
rarely ever be found short of swine
Like lots of other farmers Mr. Small
has for years tried to till his farm
we'll with a light team, but has con
cluded that 1t is useless, especially II
you want to do thorough work. Early
this spring he went to Auburn and
purchased a pair of five-year-olds OF
Jonas Edwards. They weigh $3.50
pounds, are we'll matched and very at
tractive. Mr. Small says he never
commenced to farm until he got this
team.

A Hopeful Note

There probably never has been any
where near the acreage of crops plant
ed and sown in given year in Maine
as is now going into the ground. This
condition of affairs speaks volumes
for the healthy condition of agricul-
ture in our state. For the last two
seasons the farmers have struggled
against a drouth. Then came the fall
off in price of potatoes the past sea-
son. Hundreds and hundreds of
farmers who were dependent on their
potato proceeds to pay for their fer
tilizer as well as to provide funds for
getting their crop into the ground
this season, have been glad to get
enough out of their tubers to pay for
the seed, to say nothing of the fer
tilizer and the hard strenuous labor
of planting and caring for the crop
and harvesting 1t. And hundreds OF
we'll meaning honest men have been
unable to secure fertilizer sufficient
to warrant them In planting an aver
age crop this present season. Not
withstanding all these discourage
ments and many others In the way of
scarcity of labor and the like, the
acreage that is now under cultivation
must exceed by fully 25 per cent any
ever known In our state. The fact
is, the farmers, especially the young,
enthusiastic fellows, thoroughly be-
lieve in the business. They have dis
covered that it is only once In great
many years that any such adverse dis
pensations come to them, as have been
visited upon New England for the last
three years. They are aware OF the
fact that all kinds of business have
their reyerses, and why should they
expect agriculture to be exempt? 1t
almost seems as though the invasions
of bugs and other pests have served
to stimulate rather than discourage
these enthusiasts. 1t isn't that they
go into the matter blindly, but having
discovered the causes of many of the
setbacks to their crops they are going
into the matter intelligently, conf
IDENTIFY believing that they can get the
best of these misfortunes. One thing Is
sure, and that Is they are going to put
up good fight and here's hoping that
the crops of 1910 will abundantly re-
ward all their intelligent effort
