The irony of fate, bad luck or what
ever it may be called, seems to follow
Herbert Ring in the way of losing stock.
Several years ago he lost cow by some
kind of disease, and just one year ago he
had one injured by falling over ledge
so 1t was necessary to kill her; and last
week two year old heifer came to the
barn with one hind leg broken; thus
making it necessary to dispose of her in
the same way. The meat and hides of
the two last, however, partially covered
the loss, although be does not like to
dispose of stock in that way.
The new school house was dedicated
last Saturday evening, as formerly an
nounced, and was pronounced grand
success by all. At least one hundred
persons assembled there, all ages and
both sexes, expecting to have good
time and had it. Coles Orchestra fur
nished music for the dance, and the citi-
zens provided the ice cream and cake
for all. Cigars were also furnished to
those who indulge in that kind of mar
cotic comfort.
Our recent visitors were Mrs. Joseph
w. Cummings and Mrs. Newell Swan /;
and still later Mr.. Malcolm P. Gushing
and wife of Freeport; they we're married
last week and are now enjoying their
honeymoon; at present they are calling
at the old Bryant homestead, where the
bride was first introduced into society.
Our latest callers were Lyman and
Arthur Herrick, cousins, and little boys
about here not many years ago, but now
grown up to manhood; and it is hoped
are making a good show in the world.
The damage to crops by vermin of all
kinds this year, is claimed to be some
what above the average, grasshoppers
excepted. II was so cold and wet dur
ing the first part of the season that they
have not shown up to any great extent
1t is claimed that all the damage done
by insects and vermin of every kind in
single year to the crops In the United
States, amounts to nearly one billion
dollars. That is large amount Of
money to be destroyed in crops every
year; but when it is remembered that
Uncle Sans farm comprises more than
three million square miles, and nearly
all kinds of crops are raised on it, and
that the most Of them are injured more
or less, often more, perhaps the estimate
is not exaggerated.
The lightning during the recent thuu-
der shower did not strike Mr.. Felt's

Exit the SaddIed Prominent.

A year ago many orchards and great
areas of forest land in Oxford County,
amounting in all to hundreds OF acres.
looked at little distance as II they had
been burned, In many places not green
leaf being visible In long distance.
This was due to the lsbors OF an ami.
NAL bearing the overwhelming name OF
heterocampd guttiuitta, known more gen.
orally as the Saddled Prominent cater.
pillar-a fat, repnlsive, almost incredibly
voracious "great green worm" 1t had
nothing to do but eat, and apparently
worked at it twenty. flour hours day,
from birth till death.
Professor Hitchings, the state ento-
mologist, could never be worked up to
much enthusiasm or dread regarding
this intruder. He would relax no effort
to control the brown-tail and gypsy
moths, and particularly warned the
farmers against the fall web worm,
which is now doing widespread damage;
but he dismissed the great green
worm" az pest whose natural enemies
would take care of 1t.
With the pest increasing steadily and
rapidly for three years, until 1t covered
great areas of hard wood growth, people
might be pardoned II they did not
share Professor Hitchings' optimism.
Yet 1t seems to have been we'll founded,
for this year the Saddled Prominent has
practically disappeared off the face OF
the earth. Only single specimen OF
His Voraciousness has been observed by
the Democrat, and the green OF the
forests is unbroken by bis work. This
cannot be due to the wetness of the sea-
son, which would admittedly discourage
him, for in this section we were suffer
ing from drought at the season when he
got in his early work last year. There
must be something else to explain bis
exit.
Whatever the explanation, 1t is with
good cheer that We note the fact of bis
disappearance.

The report of Prof. Allen johnson on
The Archives of The State of Maine pre-
pared under the direction OF the Public
Archives commission has just been pub
lished by the government printing Office
at Washington. Prof. johnson, who has
been professor of history and political
science at Bowdoin, has recently resign
ed to accept a similar position at Yale.
The Public Archives commission Is
doing a great and valuable work in
stimulating public interest in the proper
preservation of the records Of the coun-
try, national, state, county and local,
and the report of Prof. johnson, origi-
nally furnished the American Historical
Association, contains much interesting
information as well as timely advice.
Prof. johnson finds that as a rule local
public records are kept In very shiftless
and improvident manner. There Is law
enough Oh this question through legis-
lative enactment in 1897 for the better
preservation of town records but Prof.
johnson believes that by lack Of enforce
ment it has become practically dead
letter.
