What Equilibrium of Manufactures

This is remarkable advance, due
largely I believe to the fact that there
has been established in this country
fortunate equilibrium between the
two great branches of production. agri-
culture and manufactures Supple
menting one another both have had a
market.
/ have mentioned as our market the
industrial region which lies so near
rs in Southern New England and in
the three states adjacent on the West
and South. Nearly four millions of
people are there engaged in manufac-
turing pursuits. The wages of each
one of them is easily twice that of a
similar laborer in Europe. They get
these wages because in the happy bal
ance of our economic life their prod
ucts find a market with other people
of large purchasing power

proposition that our Industrial work :

What a Good Market Means.

A good market is as necessary to in
dustry as the sunshine to a growing
crop And right here is where the issue
lies Maine sells her products in the
best market the world knows-the
market afforded by the great indus
trial populations OF Southern New
England, New York. New Jersey, and
Pennsylvania. Those people are the
best customers in the world because
they have incomes twice as great on
an average as the incomes of any sim
liar population on the face of the
earth. The annual salaries and wages
paid to labor in the mills and factor
les of that industrial region amounts
to nearly 1000 millions of dollars q
year. Maine gets her share Of this di-
rectly for commodities she sends to
those markets. She gets 5000, 900 q
year Indirectly through summer visi-
tors, who spend here the fruits of pros
perity there.
Maine has an interest in the preser-
Walton of that market, and that mar
ket cannot serve us if it is to be flood
ed with the commodities of lands
where incomes are smaller and living
is poorer. Every attempt to do il in
the past has brought disaster. Every
such attempt in the past was resisted
by our wisest leaders, Blaine. Reed,
Dingley. Frye. whose counsel is yet
with us if their voices are stilled.

Against this program, fraught with
such grave consequences to the whole
country, and especially to Maine, the
Republican party opposes a deter
mined front under the lead of our
President, chief of our party-William
d.. Taft.
Now | have not always agreed with
the President, as some of you may
remember. When reciprocity was up
a great and perplexing issue was in
volved, especially for US in Maine. On
the one side we knew that Blaine,

opposed to partial arrangements with
Canada such as have generally been
described by the term reciprocity. Yet

clusion that the objections urged by
Mr.. Blaine in his speeches and pub
lished works still hold good, and on
the same circumstances l should do so
again. But by the action of Canada
that question has been swept away.
Except for one unfortunate diserimi-
nation-which win be remedied by a
Republican Congress and President
following the next election--it hgures
in our politics as a "reminiscences only.
We thought reciprocity would let IN

HOW HENS CAN HELP OUT

In the poultry raising department
of recent issue of Farm and Fire
side," a contributor writes as fol-
lows:
That boy of yours may be a
good boy as the ordinary run of boys
goes. A boy is not naturally bad :,
but his associates and environments
often lead to his DOWNFALL" These
remarks are inspired by watching
a youngster whose parents bought
for him an old hen and fifteen
chicks. With keen delight and re-
founding energy that boy is in the
chicken business. His brood is
his capital. He is to have all he
makes. The small flock Of chick
ems keeps him off of the street. So
let the boys have all the chickens
they want.
1t may be the turning point in
their lives, and qualities of thrift
may be cultivated that will be the
stepping stones to successful bust
ness career. l know CT a widow
whose source of income is largely
from flock of hens. Good care
and management make for her a
well-tilled basket. The field is
big and wide. Many another wo-
man can do as well as this lady and
possibly make more than she now
does and have duties much less ar
duous.
Another lady has sold five thou
sand eggs at five dollars per one
hundred, for setting purposes. l
is work she delights in. If misfor-
tune should come she has fitted her
self so that she can keep right on.
Surely the hens help out.
The person who can produce
nice poultry and fresh eggs will find
a steady demand at profitable prices
for all years to come. All that is
necessary will be to get in line for
one or more branches of the poultry
business, and then conduct the COM
bination on the same business like
plan that has been successful with
others, and the limit of profit is
bounded only by ones time, strength
and ability. Women who need
money, diversion from sorrow or
anxious care, and boys or girls who
idle away time on the streets or with
questionable company, will find
poultry raising a never failing source
Of comforting deviation or innocent
pastime, as we'll as a financial re-
ward for the time and effort given

CUT WORMS

Much damage to young orchards
is done by climbing cut worms.
These insects eat the buds and
young foliage only during the night
time. During the day they hide at
the base of the tree, going down a
few inches into the soil.
The State Experiment Station re
commends as the best treatment for
this pest to scatter a poisoned bait
a spoonful to tree. This is made
by mixing dry l pound of Paris
green to 20 pounds of bran, then
adding one or two quarts of mo-
lasses and if possible the same
amount of old beer. Work up with
enough water to make a stiff mash
before placing over the orchard. Do
not let chickens have access to this
poisoned bran.
AS supplement to this treatment
spray the trees with Bordeaux made
as follows: 5 pounds of blue stone
dissolved in Is gallons of water and
5 pounds of lime slaked IN % gal
Ions of water. Mix the two.
The same scheme of treatment
will answer for the garden cut
worms. If the poisoned bait be dis
tributed before you set your plants
or SOW your seed you can work out
the cut worms from the garden.
After the plants have come up the
Bordeaux spray will help to protect
them.
Tying bands of cotton around the
tree trunks or painting with tangle-
foot or axle grease; or fastening
collars of tin or paper around the
trunks are remedies that will not
answer for our climbing cut worms.
There are several other insects
which feed on buds, foliage and gar
den produce which may not lie
killed by this treatment.

to use limestone to build soils thru
the growth of the clovers and alfalfa.
The formula is in this order: Keep
up the lime content in the soil that
will hold the clover and alfalfa

either with phosphate. Then your
soil will be strong for any crop.

FEEDING FOR FERTILE EGGS

ILIUINU run TcnIIlc cUUS
Proper feed and proper care go a
long way in securing hatchable eggs,
says a writer in the Michigan Far
mer. Feeding for fertile eggs is just
as necessary as feeding for winter
egg production, or for size and
weight in growing fowls. Whole
grain fed alone is not conducive to
fertility. Green and fresh vege-
table and animal matter of some
kind is absolutely necessary and
should be supplied.
Green cut bone and beef scraps
are perhaps two of the best animal
feeds available. They may be fed
mixed with the mash or separately.
1t is not advisable to feed the breed
ers too much meat or green bone,
however, as the breeding stock
should never be forced for eggs.
Hens that lay heavily cannot pro-
duce strong-germed, fertile eggs.
Too liberal feeding Of animal food
will produce looseness of the bowles,
which is liable to put the fowls out
of condition, if it does not cause
serious bowel trouble.
Avoid feeding wet, sloppy mashes
to breeding stock. 1t is inadvisable
to give such to any fowl, but is es-
pecially to be avoided fin feeding
breeders. When using the wet mash
system have the mash just moist
and crumbly, not sticky or sloppy.
Overlooking with mashes will make
hens overfat, resulting in many soft
shelled and imperfectly shaped eggs.
A quart of soft feed is about the
proper allowance for a pen of ten
fowls.
Small potatoes that are of no use
for cooking purposes can be used to
good advantage in the raw state for
feeding breedingstock. Raw potatoes
are, | believe, one of the best vege-
table feeds. They tend to keep the
bowels in good working order, and
also help secure fertility. The best
way to feed them is to grind in a
food chopper and mix with the
mash three times week.
Careful selection of the Matching
eggs must also be insisted upon if
we are to derive the best results.
Do not allow eggs to remain in nests
for any length of time during the
cold weather. Gather them often.
1t does not take long for eggs to
become chilled to such an extent as
to lessen their value for Matching
purposes. Keep them in room
where the temperature will remain
around SO or 60 degrees until used
for Matching. l lay the eggs on
their side in a pan of dry bran and
cover with a cloth to prevent drying
out of the shell. They are turned
every day. Do not use those that
have thin, rough, ridged or spotted
shells, or tn at are imperfectly
! formed. Select those of normal size
and shape and that have smooth,
strong shells. Dipping the eggs in
solution of coal tar previous to
incubating is now considered a pre-
ventive for white diarrhoea. l
make practice of dipping all my
Matching eggs in such a preparation
before placing the in the inc ubator.
I use one gill of creolin dissolved in
s - quarts of water. The incuba-
tor is first heated to the proper
temperature, then the eggs are
quickly dipped and the tray placed
in the machine with the eggs
dripping wet. One must do this
quickly, as the eggs are liable to
become chilled if allowed to remain
out too long.
