Present indications are that the
starch product of Areostook county
this season will be rather short. The
portion of the Aroostook potato crop
which goes to the starch factories is
very slight. and the number of small
potatoes to the acre is reported
small unmarketable ones and those
which are rotted. So far the rot is
rather under the average. The rul-
ing price for starch potatoes is 80
cents a barrel Occasionally in sea-
sons when there has been an extreme
over production, the larger sized tu
bers are sent to the factories. This
is rare, however

Kingfield correspondent of Franklin
Journal: A very good record for a
man in his S0th year! Our neighbour
J. n. Parker, has invented and patent
ed two labor saving, low cost valuable
implements during the past two
years-a fruit picker called "The
Queen and a potato picker and
sorter called THE New Star" Last
fall he closed a contract with parties
in New Hampshire for five New Eng
land states to manufacture and sell
the potato picker. Mr.. Parker has
just returned from Rochester, n. w.
where he closed another contract
with parties to manufacture and
sell both implements in the United
States, excepting the five states men
toned.

where all the chorus hope some time

each stone has written his or her
name plainly on the contribution.
1t is doubtful if Maine can show a
stronger man than Howard Hayman,
the well-known Calais blacksmith. Mr..
Hayman weighs 1873 lbs, his height is
5 feet 9'inches, age 80 years. He is
a perfect specimen of physical man
hood and his strength is remarkable
on Wednesday, Oct Sd, at Midtown he
lifted the forward trucks of lumber
car upon the track, the weight was
1850 lbs. He has horse which
weighs 1850 and when shoeing him he
easily lifts one end of the horse. Mr..
Hayman was born in Baileyville, but
has lived in Calais the largest part of
his life. He can do the act of break
ing horse shoes which is a star stunt
with travelling strong men. Mr.. Hay
man is ten years old than Maximus,
the perfect Greek man, who was in
Maine three years ago, but ii is felt
that his strength equals that of Maxi
mus. Mr.. Hayman is also good
boxer and has been in one or two good
lively bouts, but he dislikes boxing on
account of its publicity, he being of a
retiring nature, and besides, with his
great strength, he has to be careful
about hitting an opponent, fearful of
inflicting serious injury.
