Faruinuton Grange.

regular meeting of Pennington
Grange was held Saturday afternoon.
J. B. Packard of Monmouth was called
upon and gave an address on corn
growing. During this talk the meeting
was in open session and many corn
growers who are not members of the
order We're present and listened to the
instructive TAX As is his custom. Mr..
Packard commenced ut the beginning
and told how the land should be pre-
pared the previous season to planting.
He advocated plowing in of manure in
the fall whenever possible, especially
on old ground And that il is better
that manure and fertilizers should be
used broadcast rather than in the hill
as the roots of the corn extend between
the rows Some Of course should be
used in the hill. As soon as the corn
breaks through the ground he runs the
Weeder over both ways uf the piece.
Then keeps the Cultiyator going as
long as he can go between the rows,
being careful the last few times to only
stir the ground, as too dep work will
injure the roots. The rows should be
about three feet apart and the corn
dropped Is to 20 inches III the row.
The stalks may be thinned to to ; in
the hill. And the rows be as long as
possible.
He said that great Improvement had
been made in corn growing. a few
years ago the farmers We're only re-
ceiving AZ cents per pound. Now they
will receive ~ cents. The money re-
ceived per acre in 1906 was about S45
per acre. Last year it averaged $40.
They used to cut only "A to SO pounds
to the bushel and now we get 35 to 40
pounds. The past year it was the
heaviest it has been.
He urged the farmers To keep up the
standard of Maine corn which is now
the highest in the world. 1t has been
charged that the packers in other
states have falsely branded other corn
as Maine corn. Mr.. Packard has him
self received as high as $3.50 per acre
for his sweet corn. He urged the
farmers to encourage the boys and
girls TO stay on the farms and keep up
this good work.
! After this talk sfhe men present asK-
ed Mr.. Packard many questions and
brought out many points that were of
interest.

The disgrace OF continuing their
unskilled cookery and of eating the
stolen hens In the presence of their
fellows, was enough to correct those
lads for all time to come.
HOW THE BOYS WORK AND PLAY.
Train boy according to his tastes
and abilities" Is Mr.. Hinckley's motto
adapted from Solomon.
Every morning the boys at the Good
VIII farm report to the assistant gu
peryisors off1ce-Mr. Hinckley has
the title of superyisor-and are as
signed their tasks for the day.
There being no school In summer
the first half of the day Is devoted to
outdoor work. Certain boys have fixed
tasks, like milking or caring for
stock, that they do every day.
Others are assigned to special work
each day which they do under the di-
rection of head farmer, others to the
greenhouse, others to raking hay or
mending walks. and so forth, while
others go to the laundry, or to their
home to assist the matron, as the
case may be.
In the afternoon the boys are free
for individual enterprises or for play.
This Is the time of day when all go
down to the river for swimming, I'M
der the direction of the assistant
supervisor. There is wharf and
springboard at the swimming hole
and great Is the sport when more
than 100 healthy boys are splashing
about in the clear water at the same
time
In August all the boys are taken
across the river to noble pine grove.
where permanent camping ground
Is maintained and there they live for
a month under canvas, in sight. and
within hail by megaphone of Good
VIII farm, but still as much on
vacation as ii they were in the north
woods.
Each home at the farm has its
baseball team and there being a fine
athletic field among the pines al the
camp, as we'll as at the farm. there
are many hard-fought games be-
tween May and November. Then
comes football.
winter brings skating, coasting and
kindred sports, and a social program
OF lectures, meetings and the like.

boy seniors of the High school are

IKE age from the upper settlement.
Inc well-regulated social inter-
course OF the two sexes at the farm
mas resulted In some firm friendships.
ana no less than seven Good VIII
weddings have been solemnized by
Mr.. Hinckley.
AT one the bridegroom was a form

In Boston, and the bride was a Good

A NEW MAINE COURT.
Law Court Duties Take Much of the
Time of the Justices as Matters
Stand Now.

With the coming retirement of Chief
Justice Emery from the Maine Su-
preme bench and the promotion of
| Associate Justice Whitehouse to the
chief justiceship, talk of the creation
of an appellate court for Maine is be-
ing revived among lawyers in this
section of the State.
There Is no question in my mind
but what Maine would be greatly
benefited if such a court were to be
created by the next legislature said
one well known Bangor attorney
Monday. 1.-THE proposition has been
mooted for some years but nothing
has ever been done, largely because
OF the expense which would be in
volved, l suppose.
Everyone who knows anything of
our Maine courts Is aware of the
crowded condition of the Supreme
court dockets. An effort to alleviate
this congestion to some extent by the
creation of superior courts in a few
counties has not proven altogether
successful. More legal business is
done here, for instance, than in any
other county in the State except
Cumberland. And yet Penobscot has
no Superior court
THE terms of the Law court take
up a considerable amount of the time
of the Supreme court justices each
year. They not only meet in Port
| lind 40
briefs are submitted and arguments
heard, but they spent large amount
of time in the consideration of cases
as well. Even with their utmost en-
deavors it is sometimes two years be-
! fore a decision in a case is handed
down and the ends of justice are
sometimes defeated because of the
delay. They are, of course, doing all
| that any man could be expected to do
under the circumstances.
MANY of the attorneys throughout
the State believe strongly that the
time has come when Maine should
have an appellate court to which
both civil and criminal cases may be
sent 1t would relieve the present
pressure on the Supreme court JUS
tees as nothing else would so it is
believed by many of my brother law
yers.
Although the matter of. detail
could safely be left to the Legislature
it has been suggested that the court,
at first, should consist of three mem
bers, one of whom should be the chief
justice. The salaries would be APP
proximately the same as those of our
Supreme court justices. A clerk or
recorder would also have to be APP
pointed There seems to be diff
ference of opinion as to whether an
appellate court should hold all of its
sessions at the State Capitol at Au-
gusta or whether it should meet
once each year in Portland, Augusta
and Bangor, as is the case with the
Law court at present
