TO KEEP WITCHES AWAY

Some curious superstitions are
gathered round even so eminently a
practical thing as beer. In Scotland
1t used to be the custom to throw a
handful of salt and little dry malt
into the mash to keep the witches
from it, and the cautious housewife
In houses where they brewed their
own beer used to throw a live coal
into the vat to save the liquor from
the frolicsome interference of fairies.
The addition of salt, by the way. to
beer in the course of brewing was
supposed to be for the unholy purpose
of exciting thirst 1t may possibly
have been used to this end by the un
scrupulous. but the real reason was
legitimate. Salt moderates the fer
mentation and makes the liquor fine

Is Haines Trying to Fool
The Farmers ?

Hon. William T. Haines, an ayowed
candidate for the Republican guberna-
torial nomination, was guest of the
Ellsworth Merchants Association last
week. Of course he was called upon
for a speech. Like the forehanded
gentleman that he is. Mi. Haines was
prepared. Some of the material for
that speech had been dug out of the
last census report The figures look
ed good to the down river statesman,
all except the statistics on agriculture
and rural population. Those he frank
ly admitted were not what they should
be. In fact they looked SO bad to Mr..
Haines that he declared: The time
has come when everybody has got to
take hold of the question of Maine
agriculture and Maine horticulture.
That is fine SO far as 1t goes. We
could wish nothing better for the
future of this grand old state. than
that men like Mr. Haines should take
hold of our agriculture, and assist in
freeing it from the unnecessary bur
dens it now is compelled by statute
law to carry Even Mr. Haines knows
that agriculture in Maine is more
heavily taxed than any other industry
Then why doesn't he say something
about granting 1t the same favorable
rates of taxation that transportation
and manufacturing now enjoy? Agri-
culture needs no favors, but it must
have a square deal.
Would Mr.. Haines be in favor of tax
ing the farmers wood lot at the same
rate as his own timber holdings in the
north woods? Would the gentleman
favor a rational plan to tax invest
ments in agriculture at the same rate
as in other industries? Would he be
willing for Maine to take the first step
necessary to make agricultural invest
ments attractive to capital? In other
words, would Mr.. Haines really try to
do anything for Maine agriculture if
elected governor, or is he merely talk
ing with the idea of catching the farm
er vote in the primaries and next
September at the polls?
