The difference in feeding value be tween corn and wheat is not so great as one would naturally suppose. Chemical analysis shows that In 100 pounds of the former grain there are IS pounds of muscle forming elements and 776.4 pounds of heat and fat form CTS. In the latter there are S.S pounds of muscle formers and 70.9 pounds Of fat formers. These figures show that corn has slightly the better of it as q ration to fit stock for market with wheat preferable as a ration for grow ing things.

Of all improvements that can be made in the farm home to tighten wo mans work and make it convenient perhaps the most desirable Is that which will give a handy and abun- dant supply of water and, coupled with this. drainage facilities which will make it possible to dispose of waste water without the use of pails. IL Is a pretty poky farmer who spends valu- able time pumping water for stock by hand and Juggling it in pails, and 1t would seem that on any farm where more enlightened methods are in vogue for watering the stock Ike improvement should be made in the water system in use in the house. Such a convenient water system should aot be viewed as a luxury. but merely an improvement which common con sideration and decency demand.

PROHIBITION is
LOST IN MAINE
''Wets" Win Fight After
Fifty-Four Years.

Augusta. Me-, Sept. 12.-After one Of
the most bitterly fought campaigns In
the history Of Maine, the prohibitory
been voted down by a small majority.
In the cities the wet" element greatly
predominated, but its votes were
counterbalanced by the strong pro
hibitlon sentiment of the rural dis
tricts.
With but nineteen small towns to
be heard from, the vote stands &C, 7S2
for the repeal OF the amendment to
60,S79 for its retention, a majority OF
9O4.
In 1858 the Maine Legislature adopt
ed a statute prohibiting the liquor bust
ness, but 1t was repealed after a brief
experience. IN 1857 the law was again
passed and has never been repealed.
In 1884 the question Of placing prohi-
bition in the constitution was put to
the people and prohibition won by a
majority of 45,9SS.
More than q thousand meetings were
held in different parts Of the state In
the present campaign under the auspi-
ces of the Prohibition forces, and prom
inent men from other states were
called up to assist in the cause.

victory for the "wets" been more de-

been called.
A total vote on the liquor question
Of 100, 900 was polled, which is within
10000 of the vote polled at the last
state election, when Plaisted was elect
ed governor.
The fight was bitter all over the
state, but was particularly close in
York county, which will give a margin
Of less than 100 votes in favor of re-
peal. The Prohibitionists had counted
on York as M Of their counties. One
small town, Greenwood, gave the big
