Maine a flaming State.

In some parts of the country where
they boast of more level land, deeper
and freer soil and milder climate, they
are wont to look with some contempt on
Maine as an agricultural state. That is
because they don't know any better.
They should visit the farms and homes
of this state and see the signs of thrift
and comfort. They should attend the
agricultural fairs, in particular the large
corn and fruit shows. They should read
the accounts of meetings of dairymen
and poultrymen. They should hear OF
the prizes won for best yields OF corn.
They should study the potato statistics.
They should witness the numbers and
activity of the farmers organization, the
Grange. By the test of the Grange alone
the agriculture of Maine is in anything
but backward state. At the recent ses-
sion of the National Grange, the Maine
branch was the third in the list OF states
in amount of dues paid in, being exceed
ed in this respect by only two states
Pennsylvania and New York. In num-
bers, the Maine Grange approaches q
mem mbership of 10000, and it is alert,
vigorous and growing. - Presque Isle

Starting the Calves Right.

Our neighbors are greatly exercised
over the amount of butter we are making
from two cows, one fourteen years old,
and farrow, and the other six years old,
a calf of the former. They are of mixed
blood, Durham predominating. OF
course, we have good cream separator,
as have some of our neighbors. wish
to say to these good people and many
others like unto them: You did not be-
gin soon enough with your cows; you
half starved them when they were little
calves. do not mean that calves should
be fed large quantities at time, keep
them in good shape, but keep them
healthy and growing. All animals on
farm should be fed three times a day.
Three sufficient meals q day are much
better for all animals than two large
ones. All animals should be fed regu-
larly.
NV little calves are fed new milk three
times day until they are two weeks
old; small feeds, gradually Increased In
quantity as they grow older, and grad
ually changed to sweet warm skim milk.
The pals from which they drink are
kept as clean as the milking pals.

The 1919 Apple Crop.

Many things will happen before the
apples are picked, but predicting the
size of any kind of crop has now be-
come so much of science that the trade
goes ahead and makes its plans months
in advance, on the strength of the pre-
dictions. Just now the shippers are
making long distance plans to handle
one of the biggest apple crops on record.
The experts tell us that the American
commercial crop will reach fifty million
barrels. Last year at this time the same
experts figured that the crop would DC
tventy-uine million barrels, and 1t
proved to be a little under thirty mil
lion.
From all the apple raising regions the
reports are exceptionally encouraging.
In northern New England-which raises
"a good apples as are raised or can be
raised anywhere in the world-the pros
poets are for a great crop. It Is pity
that New England has not millions more
of apple trees, and that many of the aban.
doned farms, and many other farms that
ought to be abandoned as far as tillage
is concerned, are not being transformed
into orchards, which, properly cared for,
would be gold mines for their owners.
The "box apple" region Of Washing
ton, Oregon and Idaho il doing wonder
| full things in the line Of apples. That is,
wonderful in quantity, for the quality Ii
inferior to our New England apples.
This year the northwestern crop will os
nearly twice that Of 1910, the largest yet
produced there. It will be from 16,0ct
to 1S, 600 cars of 100 bari els to q car. Al

msnt, 90 the experts estimate, that region
will ship about 50,0 900 cars Of apples by
1915 and lac, 900 cars by 1920. And the

MILLET's RIOT IN coLoRs.
The Artist Enrassd the Critics, but
Forced Recognition.

Forced Recognition.
In bis early years as an artist the
late Frank D. Millet had hard strug-
gle to gain recognition. BE sent pic.
lures to exhibitions, to be sure, and
good pictures they were. but no one
paid any particular attention to them
or said anything about them.
One day Millet conceived an idea.
He painted a picture Of lady In black
sitting on a bright red sofa, standing
against q vivid yellow background.
The effect was Just trihe startling.
Friends who saw 1t In the process OF
production expostulated with him and
asked him what he was going to do
with II. They were astounded when
he announced that he was going to
send 1t to the exhibition. They told
him the critics would wipe the floor"
with him. "They can't do that with
out mentioning me-" said Millet quiet
ly. "and they've never even done that
as yet"
To the exhibition the picture went
It killed everything within twenty feet

looking at 1t. It simply knocked you
down and held you there.
The critics got into q towering pas

spoke of 1t they mentioned Frank Nil.
let He suddenly became the best
known artist in town. Somebody, be-
cause Of the stir 1t had made. bought
the picture at a good price and re-
moved II to the seclusion Of his own
home.
When the next exhibition came of
Millet had another picture ready. one
of a very different sort and very good
but no better than others which he had
exhibited before. The critics had much

Danger In Iuexpert Iubreedlng.

Elba Thomas, of Scio, N. Y, writes
that he has very promising registered
Holstein heifer, three years old, which
is the mother of a bull now one year
old. He asks me as to whether 1t will be
q good or bad policy to breed this heller
to her own son. This is question that
confronts many farmers. Mr.. Thomas
has a promising heifer and she has pro-
duced him promising bull, and perhaps
there is not as promising Holstein bull
within reach of him as his own Is for
him to breed bis heifer to. In case there
is | say breed your promising heller
10 the bull in no way related to her,
vet of the same family. All inces-
tuous breeding places the breeder on
thin ice, especially when the mother
has some physical defect, like badly
formed udder. She may be large pro-
ducer of milk and of good constitution,
but her son will inherit the tendency to
produce heifer calves with the same
badly formed udders of his mother when
used on common grade cows, and II
bred back to his mother one can with
a high degree of certainty depend upon
her producing heifer calves with the
same defect intensified; or If the OIL
spring is a male, his get will invariably
be heifers with badly formed udders.
The same ratio holds good with other
physical defects.
Thus it is on general principles hazard
GUS to practice incestuous breeding ex'
cept as the breeder is an expert in the
physical conformation of animals he may
be breeding. 1t is true that the types oi
all pure bred animals have been tixed oy
more or less inbreeding, some Of which
is iucestuous breeding, but 1t has been
done by experts. Therefore say to MT
Thomas and to others who are similarly
situated: II you are not an expert IN
animal conformation, don't make the At
tempt. 1t might be mistake thai
would ruin your fond hopes OF success
1t might be wisdom on the part OF MT
Thomas to call in an expert on anima
conformation and have him closely ex'
anime the promising heifer and her SOD
and follow his advice.-C. d. Smead

Agricultural College Extension Work
In Demand.

The past year the most successful In
the history of the extension work Of the
agricultural college. A large increase
in number Of meetings and 25 per cent
increase in the number of people reached.
Is your town using this service? 1t is
yours for the asking.
The agricultural extension work at
the College OF Agriculture was organized
for the purpose of serving the people of
Maine. That it's efforts are meeting
with approval is evidenced by the rapid
growth of the service. Oranges are using
the extension service for lectures, demon
strations and cooperative work. Agri-
cultural departments in high schools and
academies are using 1t In holding extern
sion schools covering from one to four
days. Farmers and farmers families
have used it in making cooperative tests
with corn oats, and alfalfa, in taking
correspondence courses, and in securing
expert advice. Rural schools and school
officials have used it in helping to organ
ize boys and girls agricultural clubs,
and in securing seed for conducting the
contests; COW test and breeders associa-
tions have used it for lectures and
demonstrations of various kinds, includ-
ing stock and crop judging; agricultural
fairs have used it for placing exhibitions
and judging farm products and animals.
35 per cent represents the increase in the
number of meetings and demonstrations
conducted by the extension department
during the past year.
A circular announcing the plans for the
summer extension service has just been
issued and already many requests are
being made for lectures and demonstra.
tions. The entire agricultural faculty
are available for the summer extension
work so that it will be possible during
the months of August and September to
send workers into every county In Maine.
Lectures and demonstrations are given
on request from oranges, agricultural
associations. clubs, fairs, and for indi-
viduals. They deal with the vital prob
lens of farm and country life. They are
given without expense to local people.
Anyone interested in the summer extern
sion work should write to the Extension
Department., University OF Maine,
OronO, Maine.
