Annie Cron to Be Small.

Maine will not produce 40 per cent
of normal apple crop this season.
Massachusetts, which stands second
to Maine as a producing State, re-
ports light crop with apples drop
ping badly and the same Is true in
New Hampshire and Vermont. Con-
necticut is the only state where pros
poets are what may be termed good,
30 that New England as whole will
fall below a normal crop. While other
fruit sections in the far West prom
Use a big yield the central Western
states suffer as does the East.
The severe frosts of March and late
in April worked havoc with fruit buds
and doubtless lowered the vitality of
the trees. The fact Is that East of
the Mississippi the apple crop of
1910 will be below the average. To
what extent this will affect prices
cannot be stated, but the man who
grows good apples and puts them up
in good clean packages, making a
square, honest pack will realize a
good price for the same. The ques-
ton now facing the grower Is how
will he pack his fruit.

Woman Genius.

Woman Genius.
Mrs. Mary o. Smith of Auburn is q
mechanical and inventive genius and
her latest work In this direction bids
fair to revolutionize the present
methods of talking machines She
has invented an attachment that can
be affixed to any monograph and will
act as an equalizer of sound. 1t Is
we'll known that all our different
types of talking machines have but
one tube or transmitter of sound and
to hear 1t distinctly one must be In
its front. The improvement made by
Mrs. Smith consists of no less than
six of these tubes or transmitters
pointing in all directions. The ma
chine. can thus be placed In the mid
die of room or hall and every per-
son can hear distinctly no matter
where he may sit. One Of these trans
mitters is removable 80 1t can be
turned In any direction. 1t can be
pointed up to the gallery or down to
lower spot than the others. Fol
out door work this Is especially val.
liable as 1t not only throws the sound
with equal force in every direction
but also with vastly greater force. In
an out door demonstration made last
Friday on the farm of F. B. Jeffries or
Pleasant street, Lewiston, the famous
speech of VIM. J. Bryan on immortal
ity was distinctly heard at distance
OF IL rods. This was remarkable
performance and shows the value oil
such an improvement especially In
out door meetings of any kind Mrs
Smith has named her new invention
the pluraphone and has applied for &
patent to the Washington authorities
This is by no means her first invention
although 1t may we'll be called ths
most important. She has the fully
equipped pluraphone in her Madison
street home where any caller can Sc,
1t and hear II work, People who ART
interested in the latest electric inven
tons connected with the transmission
OF sound will have special motive
in seeing and hearing this machine.

to buy some eggs. After she reached

Immediately started on a search for

Prospects for the Maine Game Season
Which Opens Sept. Is, Bright.


1t Is only a little over a month now
to the opening of the big game sea-
son and, according to the opinion of
Game Warden F. NJ Perkins of Brad
ley, who was In town Saturday, the
outlook has never been more promis-
ing. Deer are plentiful-fully as
numerous as last season, he thinks
and the number of moose seems to be
even greater than last year.
The open season for deer begins on
Sept. Is and that for moose month
later. The conditions in the woods
last year were such that nearly all of
the young deer survived. There was
but comparatively little snow and the
feed was abundant. Foxes are among
the most implacable enemies which
fawns have to contend with although
the number killed by them, of course,
Is extremely small. A number of
years ago several foxes chased q
young deer into the water near Joe
Francis camp on the West Branch in
exactly the same manner that 1t would
have been followed by pack of
wolves The animals were driven off
however, and the deer escaped.
1t Is difficult to tell exactly what
conditions regulate the supply of
moose. They are harder than deer
and can live through winter which
kills off the smaller and weaker ami
mails by wholesale. Warden Perkins
has seen large number of moose In
his trips through the woods this sum-
mer and reports from all over the
northern and eastern portions of the
O. Azk - n.
plentiful.
Bear are also numerous. Their de-
predations have become so severe In
some parts of the State that bounty
vas put upon them in several coun-
ties at the last session of the Legis-
lature. They are particularly plentiful
in Washington county where they
have killed many sheep. A number OF
bears have been seen within few
weeks in the vicinity Of Clifton.

Dairying Has Made Great Strides ] n
Few Years.

rev 1thss
1t is estimated that there are 81
72O 900 mich cows in the United
States, and that these are worth
1902. 945, 900. The magnitude of the
industry can perhaps be best under
stood when Ii Is considered that these
cows produce yearly about $l.OOO,OOO,-
900 worth of dairy products.
Dairying has made wonderful pro-
gress since the advent of the modern
creamery and the consumer OF butter
has not only benefited, but the wife
in the farm home has been relieved
of the drudgery incident to making
butter on the farm. AS the quality
has improved consumption has In
creased and the progress of dairy1ng
has been remarkable during the past
decade.
The perpetuity Of the eountry's
greatness depends upon increasing
the production of farm products from
year to year, result which not only
furnishes our people with food but
maintains the prosperity OF our farm
Ing communities. Increase in pro-
doction can only come through i'm
proved methods of agriculture and
soil improvement. When 1t Is con-
sidered that the dairy cow is the
foundation for soil Improvement and
farming prosperity, her Importance
is best understood, and interest in
her should not be confined to her
owner She is an important factor
in the development and prosperity of
our country.

10000. 1000 Cans of Corn This Year.

1t is estimated that 10000, 900 cans
of corn will be put up from the 1910
crop which Is now nearing harvest
ing time. There are $4,000 acres
planted. AS the price paid Is two and
one-half cents per pound of cut corn
the growers should realize very close
to one and one-half million dollars
for their crop delivered at the fac
tory. OF course dry weather through
August will pinch the crop and even
a light frost injure Il materially, but
these are not the things hoped for
by the growers. The cash value of
this crop seems large and II one could
be assured favorable conditions
throughout the season 1t would be,
but sweet corn must be reckoned
among our catchy crops"
The seed does not carry the vital
ity of flint corn, the stalks are more
tender and in fact increased skill is
demanded throughout the season, ev-
increased price now paid, the farmers
are not realizing any bonanza from

other essential qualities, all of which
must be reckoned by the grower. Our
sweet corn industry is great one but
1t Is possible of extension to a limit
not yet appropriated and as packers
and growers come closer together and
stand to pay the best price and in
sure the best care and labor we shall
find factories rising all over the corn
growing section Of the State.
1t has been a matter for surprise
that New Hampshire and Vermont
have not plnated factories and en-
gagged in this industry, for the gener-
al conditions are similar to Maine. AS
1t Is. Maine SWEET corn Is the stan
dard of excellence the world over and
the growers of the State should see to

reputation is increased that more
corn may be canned and a still bet

IT can be done by endorsing the prin-
