Hay $50 A TON.
Expert Helps Harmony Farmers Gel
Long Price.

Fall Feeding" was the subject of
the October meeting of the Somerset
County Dairy Testing association,
held at the home of Sumner Ham, in
Cambridge, on September 30 Seth
Ham opened the discussion by say
ing that he believed thorough
knowledge of the ration would en-
able one to feed his COWS more in
telligently, and thereby receive more
profit from them. Speaking of his
past experience, he said he had fed
herd of grade short horn COWS
when 1t took the whole of the cream
check to pay for the concentrated
feed. Now, with the right kind OF
COWS, he Is doing better, and is going
to try to sell his hay to his COWS for
$50 per ton. He thinks he does not
feed too many dollars worth of grain,
but he may not be using the best 1udg-
ment in mixing his ration, therefore
he expects the tester will be OF much
assistance to him.
Charles Beane of Harmony said he
had changed his ration the first OF
September, on the advice of the tester,
feeding the same number OF cents
worth of grain on the new ration as
he did on the former one. The COWS
were not getting quite as good rough
age and yet there is an improvement
in the flow of milk. He knows there
Is an improvement. because he has
weighed the milk from each COW at
each milking. On the day the tester
visited him, he had one cow which
gave l.69 pounds of fat at feed cost
of ten cents per pound, or ration
cost of II cents per day.
Assistant Dairy Instructor Redman
spoke of dairying as he found it in
Wisconsin and Michigan and the use
of the score card on Jersey COW and
Jersey bull.
official Tester II. d. Witheren re-
ported that he had thus far visited l6
herds which contained 95 cows giving
milk, the average feed cost for one
pound of fat being 20 cents; the high
est feed cost for fat in any one herd
was 80 cents, the lowest. lit cents.

Wellington Grange hall, Friday, Nov.

Meeting Of Maine Optometrlsts.

The Maine Optometrsts Society
held a successful meeting in Water
Vile on the evening of October 5, at
the Elks hall on, Silver street at
which Clarence A. Pendleton of Rock
land was elected member.
The featuer of the occasion was a
lecture by DR.. Albert E. Webb of Bos-
ton. whose subject was, Eye Defects
and Their Relation to Other Ailments
OF the Body" The doctor explained
the various bodily diseases that could
be detected in and about the eye, and
explained their INTERPRETATION with
other diseases. While the optome-
trists do not pretend to treat diseases
OF the eye (they being specialists in
the examination of the eye for glass
es), they nevertheless are expected to
detect disease when present, for the
safety of the patient. The members
present derived great deal of bene-
fit from the lecture.
The next meeting of the society will
be held In Portland, January IL, 1911.
and will be an all-day session.

ROOSEVELT COMES IN
FOR MOST SEVERE ROAST
Leader of independence Party De-
nounces the Rough Rider and Sings
Praises OF Present Occupant of the
White House in Statement Issued
While He is in Washington.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., April 20
William Randolph Hearts, former as
.pirant for the Democratic nomination
for the presidency issued tonight a
statement over his own signature in
which he unqualifiedly indorses Mr..
Taft. In doing so he also critisizes
i'll severest terms the administration
OF President Roosevelt and in SO
many words warns the American ma
tion against a renewal of the possible
domination of the former president.
Calls at White House.
Mr.. Hearst called at the White
House this afternoon. He spent a
half hour with the President. Upon
leaving he said he had called merely
10 pay his respects to Mr.. aft, whom
he said he admired. Later, he is
sued his endorsement of the Taft ad-
ministration.
NO one can talk with the Presi-
uent without appreciating and re-
speeding his earnestness and sincere
ity," the statement proceeds.
Personally, | believe also in his
efficiency. He has been one year in
office, and he has certainly accom-
plished more in that one year than
Roosevelt did in his first year.
More Safe Man.
at is hardly fair to compare Taft's
one year with RoOsevelt's seven. and
yet | am not sure that even with that
the comparison might not be TO
Taft's advantage. Taft's methods are
rot those of Roosevelt, but then Taft
will probably not conclude his term
with panic.
'On the whole, it SENS TO me that
quiet. earnest gentleman, who came
into office when the country was in
tn slougr of adversely and, after one
the solugh of adversely and, after one
on the high road of prosperity. is
quiet as valuable a President as a
more SNOWY and spectacular person,
who found the country in the height
OF prosperity and left it in the depths
Of adversely"
