SHEEP BREEDERS.
VIII Meet ut Hilton Farm In Anson
Today.

Announcement was made at the Of
fee of the commissioner of agricul-
ture Friday that a meeting or The
Somerset and Franklin Sheep deed
ers' association will be held on the
farm of Ernest Hilton in Anson,
Thursday, June 80, commencing at l0
o'clock in the forenoon, at which 1t Is
hoped that there will be large at
tendance. This association 1s the
first organization of sheep breeders
to be affected in the state, and whlle
it was organized especially for the
purpose of promoting the sheep indus
fry In Somerset and Franklin coun-
ties the addition of new members is
welcome from any section OF the
State. The association includes In Its
present membership many of the most
prominent sheep breeders In Maine.
In connection with the above 1t may
be said that arrangements have been
made in regard to the transportation
of sheep to the different state fairs
which will be OF decided advantage to
the breeders. For quite number of
years those people who have exhibit
ed sheep at the different agricultural
fairs have been obliged to pay trans
portation charges one way on any OF
the lines of the Maine Central rail-
road, while 1t has been the practice
of the railroad company to transport
horses and cattle free of charges both
ways, but with a view of obtaining
some concessions that would tend to
eQualize the matter of transportation
the question was taken up with the
commissioners of agriculture by the
Somerset and Franklin County Sheep
Breeders association through him
and presented to the railroad officials
of the Maine Central, with the result
that few days ago notice was re-
ceived from the railroad company
stating that hereafter and until fur
ther notice sheep and swine would be
transported to the several state fairs
free of charge, both ways.

ANOTHER TRUE CAT STORY.
How a COrnyiIle Cat Saved the Lives
of Her Kittens and Her Own.

Mrs r. E. Dodge of Cornville has
cat that, as she says, knows more
than some people. Mrs. Dodge was
telephoning to friends the other
day and her old cat Sat at her elbow.
The friends announced that they
were coming over to dinner. All
right" said Mrs. Dodge, II will cook
the cat" The friends said that one
cat would not be enough as there
we're four people coming. Mrs.
Dodge said she had three cats and
she would boil them ALL After the
Jolly conversation over the phone the
cat ran out of doors. In short
time Mrs. Dodge went into the shed
where the old cats kittens stayed and
they were missing. 1t was not long
after the old cat came into the house
dragging rabbit that she had evi-
IDENTIFY caught. Mrs. Dodge believes
that the old cat understood that she
was to really boil her and her kittens
and she hid the kittens to save them
and caught the rabbit to save her own
life.

Hon. G. F. Cotterill, G.. Rowland Mum

good effects Of no-license and prohi-
btion In the United States. 1t was
shown that among US the saloons
have no vested rights; that 1900 OF
them were closed in 1908, and that
nearly half the population Is free
from legalized bar rooms. 1t was
urged that the best proof that the
various forms of prohibition work
better than any plan of regulation Is
that the people of the United States.

FARMING STATISTICS
FOR SOMERSET
Slight Increase In Number of SchOl-
ars In Somerset County.

A slight increase in the number of
scholars over 1909. Boys do not
seem to be any more interested IN
farming than formerly.
There are not so many farmers try
ing to sell as in former years.
Many colts are being raised but
not many of draft breeds. Not many
steers raised, but what are raised are
sold for beef. Most of them are
grades.
Not much pure-bred dairy stock Is
kept. The majority of farmers In
this section sell cream. Very little
cheese made. Not much interest is
shown In cow-test associations. The
high price of dairy cows Is causing
more heifer calves to be raised.
Number of sheep and swine kept
about the same. but there Is a large
increase in poultry raising.
There is considerable hay left over
! from last year. Newly seeded land
is looking we'll. Not much special
fertilization Is being practiced. Bush
es are being cut in the pastures, which
It. about the only thing done for their
improvement.
Acreage of corn about the same
as last year, mostly yellow variety
Silos are becoming more common.
More potatoes being planted than
last year Many not yet planted. No
rot to speak of in last years crop.
More orchards being fertilized, but
not much spraying being done. Not
many trees being set Baldwlns
blossomed very poor, other kinds
fairly we'll. Not much interest Is
taken in the packing law.
Small fruits are but little grown
except for home use. Very little IN

A Good Bunch Of Registered Stuff.

Daniel Williams, an Embden farm
er, mo Anson p. o. has quite lit
tie bunch of registered stuff which
he has been quietly breeding for some
years. The mother OF his herd was
a red COW bred by the then noted
breeders. Messrs. r. & c. ID. Waugh
of Starks. Later he purchased fine
heifer from the herd of F. A. Dolloff,
Mt. Vernon. His herd has been
headed the past two seasons by an
excellent young bull purchased Of
Ernest Hilton, Mr. Williams has Sc
lected and bred for red and that COL
or is characteristic of his animals.
Among others in this county who
now have more or less registered fe-
males of this breed are Hon. Il. N.
Merrill of Skowhegan and B. A.
Wood of Starks.

cows bred by Chas. w. Jackson of
Bath. New Hampshire, said to be
from excellent milking strains. He
also has some younger females OF his
own breeding and one from Mr.. Har-
lows herd. A red bull, Strath Allen
Ladd, bred by Mr.. Harlow and pur-
chased three years ago, when yearl-

until last fall, developed into very

mended by all who saw him and
young animals of his get are to be

Pure Bred Stock.

While referring to the Shorthorns
we will take the opportunity to say
that there are several others In SOM
erset County that are now taking con-
siderable interest in the breeding of
pure bred stock of this class. Roscoe
Bigelow, a Skowhegan farmer has
herd of ten or more registered ami
mails which he has purchased or bred
during the past two or three years.
The most of his animals are de-
scendants of the Howard Il Ellis
stock and are of good size and form
Some of his females show excellent
dairy qualities. Mr.. Bigelow is think
ing of making up herd for the Cen
trail Maine and other fairs this sea-

put foud good horses on a riding pillow

mostly with four horses, because in
this way one man and the team can
cover nearly as much ground as two
men and two teams. We hitch w
horses to the drill and always use a

corn.
When haying time comes we use

Improvement of Health Through
Education.
TN a thousand ways the improve
ment of health through education is
now under way. An agency which,,
through the gentle force Of clear in
formation can bring these ways into
unison and prevent the waste Of mis-
directed efforts will prove itself a ma
tlOnal benefit.
Industrial education, in its three
main forms of trade schools, schools
of housekeeping and schools for rural
life, is every day raising more queS-
tons than any one yet can answer
1t is the business of such an office as
the Bureau of Education to overlook
this whole field and keep incessant
inquiries under way, with q view to
finding the best to the most
urgent of these questions SO fast as
those answers become available in
any part of the world. But here again
it is not information alone that is
needed. Our new efforts at Industrial
education are pulled this way and that
by i~nharmoniOus aims and conflicting
interests. A national office, concerned
with these things, must make the con
slant ~endeavOr to persuade those dis
cordant forces into unity of aim, and
that effectiveness which comes from
unity"

there was never Il time when a mediat-

was being recognized everywhere as

all such Institutions int closer rela-

In connection with these needs he
said the near future would bring up
questions relating to the reorganiza-

among those questions would be those
relating to the need for a National
