POTATO GROWERS OF MAINE
Form Organization for Handling Crop and Putting 1t on Markets to
 Best Advantage.

I have several times mentioned the fact that the Aroostook potato grow CTS of Maine were attempting to form an association to aid them in grow ing and handling their potatoes and in placing them upon the markets more advantageously. This associa- tion has now been formed with it's plans definitely outlined, and is now ready for business, says a writer in the New England Homestead. Through its methods, the consumer may profit, as well as the grower.
 This association Is the result of the united efforts of the two Pomona granges in the county, through a joint committee which began it's work early in April. The objects of the as- | sociation are to adopt a more careful system of handling and grading, har- vesting and shipping; to acquire new and better markets by having agents in different consuming, or shipping centers, so as to keep posted on con, ditions and requirements; to devise | better and more economic methods of | AiAetA 'hCSih6o, LII lhihihG SdNlu6 lO the producer without increasing the cost to the consumer There are sev- eral other lines of bushes the asso- citation expects to take up later, but there is feeling among the promo. ters, that 1t is best to make haste slowly along these lines.
 The association Is capitalized for l e1 00 Q0n jy,iI int z@ five dollars each. As it Is a grange movement the stock is to be sold only to members of the order, or to such grangeS as may elect to become stock holders. The plan is to establish a shipping station at every place In the county where 60 shares of stock are held, with not less than 20 members At smaller stations and at sidings shipments will be made through the general management.
 All shipments are to be inspected by competent inspectors employed by the association, and none will be al lowed to leave the county that arc not fully up to the guarantee. It ii expected that the handling of seet stock may form quite part of the business of the association and an at tempt will be made to SO conduc this branch of the work as to insure to each purchaser absolute certaint, that he receives the variety he de sired and that the stock is good O the variety. In other words the as sociation will state what 1t sells ant sell what 1t states" L. E. Luttle o Caribou is president and Guy Porte of Houlton is secretary of the asso citation.

SOME NOTES ON FLOUNClNG
Remnants Will Be Found Useful Lingerie Hats Are Made of
 Short Lengths.

Now's the time to pick up remnants of embroidery founcing that can be used for various things. The little piece of two, three or more yards will be of great use to you in your dress making days of early fall.
 The embroidery ruff1e on the under skirt is always attractive. In either blind or eyelet work it looks well and outlasts lace.
 Fine batiste can be combined with lace and the body of the goods matched and tucked bands ineorpo- rated with the embroidery to form ex- quisite blouses.
 Lingerie hats for young girls, for lit tie tots and for older women are easi- ly fashioned of short lengths of fine embroidered f1ouncing Edge the seal ops with lace or face the entire brim with ruffles of net.

How to Find Fault.

Find fault, when you must find fault, in private; and some time after the offense, rather than at the time. The blamed are less inclined to resist when they are blamed without witnesses; both parties are ealmer and the accused party is struck with the forbearance of the accuser, who has seen the fault and watched for a private and propert time for mention ing ft

Qualified Prayer,

Marion's mother was i'll, and the aunt who took her place at the head of the household piled the children with unaccustomed and sometimes dis liked articles of diet. One day, after being compelled to eat onions, Marion refused to say grace.
 Then you must sit at the table un til you are ready to say it!" was the aunt's stern judgment. An hour o1 so later, when the brilliant sunshine and impatient calls of her comrades together comprised an irresistible ap peal, Marion apitulated-thus:
 "Oh, Lord, make me thankful fol having had to eat horrid old onions if you can do it. But l know you can't"

One Cure for Sarcasm.

Bunsen always was sarcastic.
 One evening last week when he got home his wife had new hat to show him. It was some hat Anybody could have seen that it was the final phrase in female headgear.
 But Bunsen started to make re marks. He said it looked as if it had been trimmed by a cross-eyed milliner on an empty stomach. And he made lot of other disparaging remarks.
 Mrs. Bunsen was almost in tears. Bunsen had to go into the other room to have a quiet laugh at her expense
 The next day he had forgotten all about the hat.
 The day after that he was reminded of it. Mrs. Bunsen handed him a bill for retrimming that hat-$1S.34 it came to.
 Bunsen paid it without a murmur and said the revised edition of the hat was just exactly right. He is not criticizing hats any more.

Make the farm worth while.


 Cooperation is the life of profit
 The roll of fat on the show hog covers multitude of defects.
 Listen, I'm telling you!" shouts the fool. Tell me and I'll listen,7 says the wise man.
 The man who really loves his wife does not forget at 75 how beautiful she was at 20.
 It Is all right to ask the Lord to air us in our work but all the same, he expects us to do our level best.
 How we admire the man who never talks about anybody or anything ex- cept himself and his own doings!
 The brain-using business man is the profit maker; since farming is busi- ness, the more brains the more profit.
 Some women are so unreasonable as to expect man to stop pitching horse shoes just to saw wood for the kitchen stove
 There was never a woman whose heart has not been touched with jeal- ousy. If there was no jealousy there would be no love in the world.
 Farm machinery comes pretty high. We sometimes think, but there is one thing in its favor, it is not eating three meals a day when it is not working.
 It's losing game to buy staple sup plies in little dribs. The reason so many city people are poor is because they buy groceries and coal in five and ten cent lots.
 A harsh word spoken to the wife or children, or simple act of injustice Is often the germ which grows Into monster which strangles affection and starves our hungry hearts.
 If your neighbor comes along and offers to let you in on ground floor gold mine or any other sure thing proposition just because you are a good fellow" ask time to think 1t over and then refuse
 Swamps on the farm are like dark spots on the human character. They are neglected and misunderstood and may be redeemed to usefulness and beauty by proper cultivation.

Good Summer Feed.

Green crops are good summer feed, but after all, the most practical way for a large dairy farm Is to have two silos. using one for winter and the other for summer whenever needed. In this way the most milk can be pro- duced at less cost Some farmers think 1t would be best to use the same silo for summer, by filling it in spring with some such crop as rye.

Pedigree of a Calf.

The owner of calf may live on a pedigree, but the calf cannot. Some calves would be much better off with out one. Pedigree is a fine thing, but 1t is not always understood. It is only a genealogical record showing the re- lationship of the animal. It Is not something to eat. Some pedigrees are as worthless as the paper upon which they are written. A good calf with a good pedigree in good hands where there is plenty of good feed Is good combination

Select Good Seeds.

No work on the farm will pay as we'll for the time and expense as seed selection. A few days devoted to the selection of the best bolls from the best stalks of cotton and to the &c., lection of the best ears of corn from the best all-round stalks of corn will very materially increase the yield of cotton and corn.
