pany agrees to supply, during the next 20 years,
all the electric energy that the former company
will need for its railway, light, heat and power
business. The present demand in Rockland,

mer employe of the General Electric Co., to
handle the placing of large power contracts

Farm and Fireside summarizes the re-
suit of experiments to secure economi-
cally 'be 'anced ration as follows:
Cows fed on perfect" diet of wheat
produced weak, understood calves and
gave little milk Those fed on corn alone
did well in all respects. Oats were not
so good as corn, not so bad as wheat.
And, strange to say, the mixture of all
three was not as good as oats alone.
This shows that as the basis of feed
nothing is better than corn.

English sparrows are said to be a
dainty dish to set before most everybody,
and there has long been suspicion that
they are served in city restaurants under
the name of reed birds, an alias of the

in the fall he is known about Chesapeake
bay as the reed bird and in the Carolina s
as the rice bird, and broiled or roasted
makes an appetizing mouthful. Order a

1t looks as though we might have to
burn our next winters coal this summer.
The Republican journal., 1912-05-30

The miners and the consumers are the
victims of the coal strike. The coal
carrying roads which own the anthracite
mines and make annual profits amount
ing to about $40, 900, 900 made money by
the great strike in 1902, and will make
even more money by the strike of 1912.
1t is figured in New York that an in
crease of % cents a ton in the retail
price of coal means an additional yearly
cost to the public of $l8, O00, 900, of which
$4,000 900 will pay the advance in the
miners wages, and $12,0O0,000 will be
clear profit to the operators. In 1902
there was enough coal mined to meet all
demands when the strike, instigated or
abetted by the operators, took place.
They then advanced the price, which has
not since returned to former figures, and
the millions which would have gone to
the miners but for the shut down went
into the pockets of the coal barons. 1t
is downright robbery.

says Of him:
Mr.. Crane has been a power in the
Senate since he succeeded George Fris-
bic Hoar, but in the eight years that he
has been in Congress he has never made

The Globe further says that Senator
Crane has made an army of friends in
both parties, and probably has the conf
dence of as many Democratic Senators
as Senators in his own party; that he is
noted for his many acts of kindness and
gives much to charity unostentatiously.

In 1850 David Rankin gave his last five
dollar bill to the preacher who married
him. Fifty years later he was the
possessor of millions of dollars, all of
which he had acquired in farming. The
Country Gentleman.
The story told Of the Rankin farms in
Missouri, one of the three leading corn
States of the Union, is marvellous.
"Imagine 1000 work horses and mules
engaged in active service; from $4,000 to
10000 acres of corn land annually under
the pillow, which averages between so
and 60 bushels to the acre; 10000 steers
and $4,000 hogs which yearly consume
the corn crop; one corn field of 5000
acres in which AZ two-row cultivators
work abreast at the same time; the
largest corn crib in the world, with
capacity of Is, 1856 bushels; sub divisions
of the main farm ranging in size from
$40 to 5000 acres; APO miles of hog-tight
wire fence-imagine all this and you
gain slight idea Of the vast scale on
which the Rankin Farms operate" The
plan of operation is simple. Corn is
raised, fed to steers and hogs, which are
turned into cash. No corn is sold. 1t is
all fed out, and Of course the most ap-
proved methods are used in its produc
ton.

1nere were many Soou suSSeSIloilo
and interesting facts in the speeches
made at the banquet to the Portland
Board of Trade last Thursday even
ing. One gentleman said that while we
knew of our resources above ground we
did not know what was underneath, and
it would be we'll to have commission of
experts make a thorough examination
and study of the State with view to
ascertaining what there might be in the
way of hidden wealth. We do know,
however. that there have been finds of
valuable gems and that gold and copper
exist, and many years ago we used to
hear of lead mine at Lubec. And it
has long been thought that coal may yet
be found. Alphabetically everybody can
see that Maine has great possibilities,
but farming to be made profitable must
be conducted on business lines and follow
the intensive methods so successful in
other countries. What the little country
of Denmark, with its generally rocky
and sterile soil, has accomplished in
this direction was cited as an object
lesson. While orcharding was not
touched upon it is unquestionable that
Maine has the soil and the climate
for raising the best apples in the world;
but the trees must be cared for and the
fruit gathered and packed by the most
approved methods to ensure pecuniary
success. In the country at large-and
we believe it is also true of Maine there
has been decrease in the last decade of
cattle, sheep and hogs, and with the in
creased population we are not raising
enough to feed the people, and that is
one of the causes of the high cost of
living. The remedy lies in conservation
of the soil, intensive farming, and more
stock. The water power of Maine was
referred to. In these days of electrical
development water power is increasing
IN value and Importance, and there is
enough Embarrassed in Maine today to
run the spindles Of the world. But above
all these great natural resources in val
Ne have been the Maine born and bred
men and women, many of whom have
gone out from their native State to aid
in the development of other sections and
have attained eminence in the various
walks of life. Without such men and
women enduring prosperity and civic
righteousness are impossible, and one of
the speakers made most earnest, elo-
quent and logical plea for so guarding
the footsteps of the children of today that
they may maintain the high standard of
Maine citizenship.

And when church was finally built his hand
was not slack in the good work.
Mr.. Farwell came from family of promi-
nent representative and business men. His
only brother, Edward S. Farwell late of Rock
land, was prominent in the business affairs of
that city and was collector of customs for that
district at the time of his death. His uncle,
the late Joseph Farwell, was in his early man
hood captain on one of the Boston and Bangor
Steamship Co.'s boats and was largely inter-
ested in shipping on the coast His uncle
Willard, late of Rockland, was a member of the
judiciary and was largely engaged in business
in Knox county. His uncle Nathan ably repre-
scented our State in the U. S. Senate, and his
rugged features are prominent among the
representative men whose portraits adorn the
rotunda of the State House at Augusta.
In addition to his private business Mr.
Farwell was often called upon to settle
estates and to act in other capacities where
integrity and business ability were demanded
He was also for several years a director of the
Waldo Trust Co.
In the winter of 1908 he had a severe attack
of the grip which left him in greatly reduced
vitality, but his mind seemed to retain its old
time clearness; but in January 1912 he had
severe cerebral hemorrhage from which he
never fully recovered. During the few weeks
that he required constant care, he displayed
his usual gentleness and patience, and his sons
often remarked how little trouble "Father"
tried to make, and would allow no one but
themselves and "Mother" to care for him,
He leaves two sisters, Mrs. Messenger of
Boston, and Mrs. Crowell Of San Francisco, a
widow, three sons and a grandson.
