While at play on the city dump, at
the foot of Horton street, Lewiston,
recently, two children found the dead
body of a newborn infant Evident
ly the children had moved the body,
for when the police officers arrived
about ten. o'clock, it was at the brook,
a short distance from the dump. A
woman in one of the tenement blocks
nearby notified the police of the dis
covery. Coroner Grondin was called
and the body was taken to his under
taking rooms. When the police arriv-
ed the child had no clothing on, nc
covering of any sort. 1t is generally
believed by the authorities that the
body had been placed there only a
few hours before discovery. The chill
dren who found the lifeless body were

equal importance for our farmers to
consider, and that is the raising OF
golden seal. This plant is in universal
use, as it is one of the leading medi-
cines used by all physicians. 1t
grows under the same conditions as
ginseng, and shade is required for it
to do its best. Three years ago, gold
en- seal only brought 80 cents per

going up in price. This plant grows
somewhat like the strawberry as it
spreads over the ground. The root is
small and fine, but there are so many
of them that they are very profitable.
One thing IN favor of golden seal is
the fact that the plant has no dis

MAINE SHEEP BREED,
ERs ASSOCIATION
Was First Started Three
Years Ago
Here Are Some of the Things That II
Is Planning to Do.

Maine has one of the liveliest Sheep
Breeders association in New Eng
land. 1t is but three years old. yet
|! its activity has brought about and is
bringing about benefits to the sheep
raisers in the State. That this is
true was we'll illustrated at the an
nual meeting of the Association held
at Madison this month Here are
some of the things that it voted to do
and will do. First, To see that all
the fairs in the State give special pre-
miums on sheep for the express pur-
pose of getting the boys interested in
sheep raising. The Secretary was di-
rected to correspond with the various
fair associations and urge premiums
of not less than 81, 81, and 500 for
the best lamb shown by a boy or girl
of 16. No distinction as to breed but
with separate classes for pure bred
buck, eve, or grade eve lambs. All
animals shown to have been property
of exhibitor not less than four
months.
Another thing that will be brought
about by the association will be to
have the fence law amended so that
fences to be legal must constitute Ell
fective barriers against horses, cat
tie and sheep. This matter will be
brought before the next session of the
Legislature.
TO arouse more interest in sheep
growing the members of the associa-
ton will hold a sheep institute in
Portland in connection with the
Portland Board of Trade at the Dairy
men and Seed Improvement Associa-
ton next November. At this insti-
tute an effort will be made to hold
fat-stock show of lambs with a
slaughter test, prizes to be awarded
to those lambs showing the highest
percentage of dressed carcasses as
compared with the live weight
The Maine Sheep Breeders Asso-
citation was only established a year
ago but grew out of the Somerset
Sheep Breeders Association that was
established three years ago. The
group of men who started the asso-
citation and are members and promo
tiers Of it to-day are: E. E. Clifford,
President. formerly of Canaan, now
of Bowdoinham; Nathan Gray, Or
lando Walker, w. Gray, Bert Hilton.
F. G. Hilton, T. d. Hilton, George
Burns. They are breeders of pure
bred stock of the Hampshire, Oxford,
and since the association was formed
the number of sheep has greatly In
creased in Somerset County. e. E.
Clifford is now president of the Maine
association, being reelected at the
