An exchange says: When driving
through the Cambridge swamp one
night recently, Carroll Bailey met a
strange animal which stepped to one
side of the road as the team approch-
ed. AS Mr. Bailey passed the animal
he struck at it with his whip but it
paid no attention to the ton. The
creature had a long slim body and a
long slim tail and stood about as high
as Mr.. Bailey's pung. Some of the
Cambridge people visited the spot the
next morning but were unable to find
tracks of the animal on account of
the crust which had formed.

A notable two years is the record
of the Maine State Fruit farm at
Monmouth, purchased in 1909. Not
larger than ten-year-old trees were
those on the farm at the time of pur-
chase, though set in 1885 and 1886.
Stunted by neglect they yielded In
1909, but a crop of 80 barrels. Work
of spraying, blowing and thorough
cultivation was the rule rigidly en-
forced from July of that year. In
1910 the crop was 300 barrels and in
1911 the toll reached was $500 bar
rels. Here is a remarkable story of
progress yet it is only the fact. 1t
shows what might be obtained in
thousands of orchards if the trees
were but looked after as they should
be. No better object lesson could be
found if one searched the whole coun-
try over nd the one thing to regret
is that more have not been familiar
with the work done. This is the
farm bought by the state. for the
good of the state, and every taxpayer
has full right to all the lessons OF
experience there to be CLEANED.
