Commissioner of Agriculture Buckley
declared that Maine had the cleanest bill
of health of any state of the union in
regard to tuberculosis.
DIR. 1. l.. salley of Skowhegan spoke on
the topic of Control of Contagious Dis
eases" He gave the number of the live
stock in the state as 2l1,000 cattle, 1900
horses, $4,000 sheep and 5000 swine.
These represented a large amount of cap
ital and for that reason contagious dis
eases should be well looked after. The
principal forms of disease are CHAMBERS
in horses and tuberculosis in cattle, swine
plague in hogs and scab in sheep. He
favored quarantine for contagious abor-
ton and declared that the tuberculin
test was as accurate as anything we have
in medicine.
Congressman-elect Samuel W. Gould OF
the Sd District was introduced as a friend
of the veterinarian and he was asked to
respond to the combined toasts THE
Legislature and THE United states.
Congressman-elect prefaced his remarks
by saying that this was a great country.
Once we had land enough to give every
man farm. but the farms and the coa'
lands have gone out of the hands OF the
government The greatest wealth. the
country possesses today is the opportnli-
ty that it gives the young man., SAID the
speaker. 1T has been said that INC
strength of the country lies in the pa
triotism of the youth. Nowhere is 1t bet
ter taught than in the schools and by
the firesides, and although some leach-
ers are more familiar win the seiec''o.

He cited tho great developments In med
ical and veterinary practice. He men-
toned the old fashioned veterinarian who
bored hole in the horn of an OK ana
poured salt. pepper and vinegar. when
the only thing the OK needed was a well
balanced ration. The veterinarians OF
Maine had brought up and developed
their profession until they now were the
equal of those Of any state in the union.

DISBURSEMENT OF HANCOCK.
and Castine Start Back-fir
To Stoninaton Plan.

The county of Hancock seems tn be
in danger OF dismemherment. \ petit
ton 10 annex Isle au Haul to knox
county has already been presented IN
the House ard a similar one in rela-
ton to Stonington is soon to follow
Meanwhile as 4 back-firc TO this prop
osition comes a brand new scheme to
annex Bucksport to Penobseot county,
followed by a second one to have cas-
tine set off into Waldo county.
James r. Jones. who represented the
Bucksport class in the .4th Legislature
but is now a resident of Brookiine,
Mass, was at the State House Thurs
day and appeared to be highly indig-
nant over the proposition 10 set Oft
Stonington and Isle au Haul 10 knox
county. III Stonington ad Isle au Haul
join drives with Knox county / shall
petition this Legislature to nave
Bucksport annex to Penobscot county
as Bangor is only IS miles distant and
much more convenient Of access than
Ellsworth, the shire town of Hancock
county" MIR. Jones also added that lie
had heard from residents of Castine,
who wished to be set Off into Waldo
county as Belfast would be a much
more convenient city for transaoting
court business.
The attempt TO set off Stonington and
Isle au Haul from Hancock county
and annex them to Knox county has
been attempted at two previous SEES
sons Of the Legislature and has been
opposed by the committee on towns
in the past. 1t is likely to be opposed
- ta ftAn on At
this session but from slightly differ
ent view point. The majority of the
committee on towns two and four years
ago was opposed to it because the adj
dition OF thu populous town of Stoning-
ton. which is of Democratic tenden-
cies, to the strongly Democratic county
| of Knox might place a couple Of Dem
ocratic senators from Knox in the up
per House. Eut now Hancock county

| the Democratic party and the majority
| Of the members of the committee on
towns of the 18th Legislature are say
| ing: Don't set off Stonington from
| Hancock county. We have just began
to have a show down in this county
| and without Stonington's aid we
couldn't carry the county again
| Belfast has been flirting with Cas-
| tine as far as business interests are
concerned for some time and the fire.
quency of excursions to the larger mu-

II the Hospital is good thing. as we be-
lleye and feel 1t is, the more general the
scope of It's operations the greater the
good accomplished.
Too much cannot be said in favor of
the successful management of the Hos
pital by Mrs Hayden, who has filled the
position of matron almost from its in
ception. This position requires a varied
order Of talent, not only in the line of
good nursing and a general ability to
manage people coming together under all
sorts of conditions, but good business
ability as well. All of these traits. in n
marked degree, are found III Mrs. Hay

in touch with every phase OF hospital
work and management, and she has been
ably assisted by the Assistant Matron,
Miss Russell.
Both the medical and surgical STATS

to the success of the Hospital and We |
think 1t is generally acknowledged that
no ADLER corps of physicians and surgeons
