farmers can engage in no more
profitable task these long winter
evenings than in closely noting
the direction of the activities of
their servants, the law makers, the
majority Of whom will be up for
reelection a few months hence.
Among the most important
questions that will be brought up
for consideration is the parcels

ed from the floors of Congress,
are not heard above the more in
sistent demands of paid lobbyists

All straw, stalks, etc., used
for litter in the sheep barn
should be run through a cutter
to increase the power absorption.
If the pens are cleaned regular
ly, litter should be put in thickly
at once. Under no circumstan-
ces should the manure and used
litter be piled where the sheep

from the fermentation are dan
gerous, causing catarrh, snuffles,

PORTLAND. Me-. September 1o-A
large question mark symholizes the polit-
ical situation in Maine at the close OF
the state campaign tonight. For weeks
both the republican party. which is in
poder. and th~ democratic party have en-
gagged in efforts to arouse the state, and
the final rallies were held tonight with
both sides expressing confidence that sue
vess will rest with them when the ballots
are counted Monday night
The rival candidates are the present
governor. Bert r. Fernald of Poland,
leading the republicans, and Frederick w
Plaisted, mayor OF Augusta. heading the
democratic ticket. Besides choosing be-
tween these heads of the tickets Monday,
the voters of the state also will elect state
auditor, four representatives in Congress-
county officers and q legislature, which
Will name successor to United States
Senator Eugene Hale.
Two Districts Doubtful.
While the contest for governor Is first
In interest. it has no great margin over
that for Congress in two of the districts.
For the first time in years republican
leaders have been called upon to fight
stif1y in the first and second districts,
which gave Reed and Dingley over

Both sides claim to have made a win

believe that Swazy's success is more
doubtful than that Of Kinds.
The democrats practically concede the
return Of Representative Edwin c. Bur-
leigh in the third district, and Frank
e. Guernsey In the fourth.
