GOES BACK To FIRST
PRINCIPLES
Madison Farmer Raises Grain for
Feeding to Stock.

Ernest Emerson of Madison. is the
first farmer in Somerset county to try
going back to the system of farming
that made the old timers rich-stock
raising and grain growing. He has
seen the fallacy of trying to run the
farm as a manufacturing PROPOSE
tion, and have the grain dealer reap
the best part of the harvest With a
faith that Maine soil and Maine eli
mate are as good as there are in the
world, he has set out to grow what
grain he needs. and deliver it to Gus
toners that are ready and waiting
right in his own barn yard.
Last week Mr.. Emerson harvested
six acres of as fine wheat as one need
ask for. 1t was cut with reaper and
binder, and the little labor involved
in putting it under cover is all that
remains to be done. The crop will
be fed to his large flock of poultry,
and for that purpose threshng Is not
necessary or even desirable.
In common with all observing poul-
trymen, Mr.. Emerson has found that
his hens lay much better when they
have plenty OF exercise. And feeding
rnthreshed wheat right in the bun
die gives them an abundance of the
finest exercise known. That is one
of the reasons why Mr.. Emerson has
the satisfaction of carrying large
baskets of fresh eggs to market, just
at the time when the most of his
neighbors' hens are out on strike.
In days gone by wheat was one of
the staple crops of old Somerset but
late years little or none has been
grown. Several things combined to
Kill the business, but the chief rea-
son was the low priced stock from
the west. But dollar wheat has be-
come an old story, and for two or
three years now the institute workers
and the agricultural press have been
preaching larger acreage of grain.
The point to their arguments has been
considerably sharpened by condi-
tions in the potato market.
Mr.. Emerson has found wheat
much better as nurse crop than the
more common oats. The leaves of
the plant are smaller, and while am
pie to protect the tender grass
sprouts from the withering sun, do
not sap the moisture supply quite SO
heavily. Then, too. with spring wheat
the harvest comes later when the rush
of work Is not SO great. Next year he
will plant even more, making wheat
and the poultry the principal products
of the farm.

THE GREATEST THING IN
THE WORLD
Love Everybody II You Can,-SOme
thing II There's Nobody Handy.
II you want to be happy-loye.

If you want to be happy-love.
Love something, anything, every
thing; love hard, love long, love un-
selfishly
Love is the greatest thing in the
world.
Trouble never seems to be quite as
big trouble If goodly portion of your
heart Is filled with love. for 1t has
not the room to grow big In.
And sorrow never seems 80 great,
where one loves, because so much of
ones thoughts are given to love that
sorrow gets crowded out.
And work goes along more smoothly
because the heart sings Its love song
all through the hours of toll
And joy? What Joy where love is,
ls something so different from the Joy
that comes to the careless, the selfish,
the Indifferent, that the two do not
know the meaning of the same word.
And 1t doesn't make much differ
ence what you love- because 1t Is self
education not service that love makes
its first business.
Love makes you forget little Sights
and forgive big ones.
1t makes you see sunshine just as
long as tiny ray holds out against
the black clouds that are gathering
1t makes you see that there are buds
on the vine, just ready to break into
bloom instead of the faded blossoms
that are ready to fall off and die.
1t makes you see the CLEAN In the
faces around you which denote a
pleasant temper, even though the lips
are breaking into ugly words.
1t makes you see the great pitfalls
that await your stumbling sisters
rather than the fall itself. when she
goes hurtling down to doom.
1t makes you 80 glad you are alive,
and that everybody else Is alive, and
that the old world is turning round
and round for US all that you haven't
any time to wonder whether a comet
will strike 1t or not.
And love even makes you feel kind
ly toward the comet. 1t has its short
comings as well as other created
things.
And love enables you to see that
what looks like meanness is only
thoughtlessness, that sternness hides
pain, that the crouch Is afflicted with
diseased nerves and that gossip Is
carelessness, not malice.
Love everybody, If you can; some
thing II there Is nobody handy. Ev-
erybody II you are big and wise
enough to undertake such a love.
Never mind the consequences; never
fear that you will lose the object of
your love, for love Is yours always,
no matter what happens.
You remember the comforting old
couplet, at Is better to have loved
and lost than never to have loved at
ALL" An almost primitive age gave
that truism to the world. and every
year has proven its great wisdom.

G. r. FOGG'S SUCCESS.

G. r. Fogg, the enterprising drug

for their celebrated specific for the
cure of constipation and dyspepsia by
Offering the regular soc bottle at half

In addition to selling a soc bottle

edy that he will refund the money to

Unrest In Portugal for Sometime.

Hon. James C. Hamlen of Portland
is one OF the few Maine men to read
the news of the revolution in Portu-
gal with the feeling, Il expected some
thing Of the sort" He says in an in
terr4<w given to Portland reporter:

PrebIe Station Discontinued.

The Preble Street station of the
Boston & Maine railroad at Portland
is now a thing of the past so far as
being a passenger station is concern
ed. The old depot passed into his
tory Sunday evening with the pulling
out of the regular 6.15 passenger
train. The passenger business form
erly transacted at the Preble Street
station is now handled at Union Sta
tion and the freight formerly coming
to Preble street Is sent to the Port

Immediately round the house. Many
boys had she hired, but one and all,
they reported that Miss Myers wore
,,em out" by the multiplicity of her
demands. AS for Miss Myers, her
own frequently expressed opinion
WAS that boys were too lazy to
live" anyway. and that a boy who was
worth his salt had not yet been in
vented.
But the time came when Miss My
ers met her match in Johnny Briggs,
who appeared one morning and offer
ed his services.

there's no help for it. | amt much

"Yes'm replied Johnny, briefly
He went round the corner of the
house whistling, exactly like any 9TH
er boy. But Johnny was not exactly
like any other boy. He had Napo-
leonic quaities-and an old bicycle,
which he had left behind the wood
shed. Half an hour before Miss My
ers had expected him, he was back
with the spool of cotton.
Here's yer cotton, Miss Myers. "
said Johnny, cheerfully. Il like to
do thing right up quick and have it

He had got back SO soon that Miss
Myers was hardly ready with the
next commission

tersely.

Johnny seized the pail, picked up
his bicycle behind the woodshed. and
was off to the berry pasture. Miss
Myers continued her work in the kit
chen. She had given him job that
would last while this time, she told
herself for the berry pasture was near
ly a mile away. But she had hardly
begun cooking dinner for herself and
men whom she had working on the
farm when the door opened and a
freckled-faced boy appeared with a
brimming pail of berries.

Potato Yield to One Man.

One of the biggest crops of potatoes
to be harvested by any farmer in Carl
bou, acreage considered, is that of
Sidney A. Smiley, who lives on the old
Washburn road, says the Caribou cor
respondent of the Bangor News. He
has 80 acres planted this year and ex-
poets to cellar at least 4500 barrels.
He harvested 1000 bushels from the
first II acres dug. Mr.. Smiley Is one
of those farmers who always has a
big crop. Two years ago, when 30
many potatoes in that section were
frozen to the ground, he was lucky
enough to secure his entire crop with
out any disastrous results from the
frost.

Robert Ward, a 14year-old deaf
and dumb lad of Portland, had an al
most miraculous escape from serious

Native Pineapple.

One of the things in the recent ex-
hibit of Paris Grange at the Oxford
county fair, which was a little out OF
the ordinary was a native pineapple.
The pineapple was raised in the house
of B. F. Richards by his sister; Mat
tie, and it took a number of years to
get the plant in condition to produce.
The fruit was about the size of bill
lard ball and nearly round. 1t was
found when cut to be softer of flesh
and sweeter than the pineapples of
commerce.

The purchase OF the control of the

Rat Story.

The biggest rat story of the year to
date comes from Hiram. Mr.. and Mrs.
r. N. Lowell, hearing some disturb
ance in an open room, investigated
and discovered a rat in a barrel of
traced corn. Bringing their large
coon cat they witnessed lively fight,
the result of which at the time was
uncertain, but which afterwards was
found to show four rats as victims of
the cats prowess. The barrel was
covered and removed to the kitchen
where another cat was added to the
forces and finally when the battle was
over between the cats and Mr. and
Mrs. Lowell Ia rats lay dead upon
the kitchen floor
