Agricultural Matters.

Commissioner of Agriculture j. A.
Roberts in the office of the depart
ment, Tuesday morning, brought to
the attention of Journal reporter a
number of matters pertaining to the
department which will be found of
interest to people all over the State.
He spoke, of a bearing which will be
held, Dec. Is, at Washington, before
the federal horticultural board re-
garding the. quarantine of apples.
There is already" said Mr.. Roberts.
"a quarantine on apples from Great
Britain, Germany and several other
countries, the reason of the quarantine
being to prevent the spreading of Ger
tain diseases which have not as yet
obtained a foothold here. The ques-
ton before the board is whether or
not this quarantine shall be extended
to canadian potatoes. Certain COM
mercial circles will request that the
quarantine on potatoes from Great
Britain be removed. The State De-
hearing by C. E. Embree of the Bu-
reau of Markets and Supplies and K.
A Rogers of Brunswick, large po-
tato grower and dealer, who at pres
ent is doing institute work near wash
ington.
Certain parties were brought be-
fore the commissioner of agriculture,
last week, charged with violation of
the apple packing law. Barrels of ap-
pies were opened up and the parties
plead guilty, paid fines and promised
to abide by the law hereafter. How
ever. if the shippers continue to vi
olate the law. their names will not
be held from the public. 1t is not the
purpose of the department to injure
any man in his business but apple
dealers and growers must abide by
the law"
Mr.. Roberts announced that the de-
partment Is planning to hold "Po-
tato Day" sometime during the month
OF January. At that time there will
be a big meeting at some central
place in the State, and the best speak
ers available will be present to de-
liver addresses. Special attention will
be given to the growing and market
ing of sweet potatoes. The day will
be known as Potato day" throughout
the State, although the date and
speakers for the meeting have not
been arranged.
The department will hold an insti-
tute at the Winthrop Grange hall, on
Saturday, Dec. 13. The sessions will
continue through the day, commencing
at 10 A M. The speakers will be
Prof. J. w. Sanborn of Pittsfield, N.

UP TO MRS. WILSON
As to Where President VIII Spend His
Christmas.

Washington, Dec. 9.-Just where
President Wilson will spend his
Christmas vacation, should he permit
himself one, will be left to the main
house as he expresses it. The Pres
ident is understood to mean that Mrs.
Wilson and the Misses Wilson will
make the selection, thus giving the
final evidence of a well trained hus-
band and father.
That vacation will be taken has
not been decided. 1t is understood that
Mr.. Wilson is not averse to Congress
recessing over the holidays, especial
ly in view of the fact that the SEN
ate gives promise of getting the cur
rency measure ready for the confer
ence committee before then.

Ottawa, Ont, Dec. 9.-The Tango
dance is not to be allowed at govern

of Connaught, who is very fond of
dancing, has decided to draw the line
and has let it become known that she
is positively opposed to the tango.
A number of Ottawa society folk
have been taking tango lessons from a
New York teacher and news that the
duchess would not countenance the
dance has acted as a general damper
upon their enthusiasm.

sand ways.
There was one little example with
the new Governor of Hawaii, which is
illustrative. l.. E. Pinkham, after
months of waiting, had been con-
firmed by the Senate just before the
extra session closed. He wanted to re-
turn to Hawaii before taking the oath
of office but as the retiring govern
or, Walter F. F'rear, also now in Wash
ington, wanted to be relieved of Off
cial burdens, Gov. Pinkham decided
to take the oath in Washington. This
must be done before a justice of the
supreme court, as organic law of the
territory prescribes.
So retiring Gov. F'rear and Gov
Pnkham went to the supreme court
for the ceremony Where is your
commission?" asked Justice Mckenrla.
1t had not been signed and President
Wilson was i'll at the White House.
Gov. Pinkham was on the point of
sailing for Hawaii. Gov. Frear had
business engagements which depend
ed upon the laying down of his Off
cial duties. But days passed without
the President being able to sign the
commission. Consequently Gov. Pink
ham missed his boat to Honolulu and
the business of the governors office
has been thrown out of whack.

Peter Rabbit sat in the old stone wall
along one side of Farmer Browns or
chard waiting for Mrs. Moon to put out
her light and leave the world in dark
ness until jolly, round. red Mr. sun
should kick off his rosy bedclothes and
begin his daily climb up in the blue, blue
skv. In the winter Mr. Sun is late
sleeper and Peter knew that there would
be two or three hours after Mrs. Moon
put out her light when it would be quite
dark And Peter knew, too, that by TINS
time Hooty the Owl would probably have
caught his dinner. So would old Granny

would be too sleepy to be on the watch.
1t would be the very safest time for
Peter to try to get to his home in the
dear old brier patch.
So Peter waited and waited. Twice
Bowser the Hound, who had chased him
into the old stone wall came over and
barked at him and tried to get at him.
But the old stone wall kept Peter safe
and Bowser gave it up. And all the time
Peter sat waiting he was in great pain.
You see Peter had been caught in a snare
set by Farmer Brown. and around one of
Peters long hind legs was a shiny wire
drawn so tight that it cut into his flesh
and hurt dreadfully. and to the other
end of the wire was fastened 9. piece Of

lead into her making herself too cheap.

under the fence on the other side crept
Peter Rabbit, his leg SO stiff and sore
that he could hardly touch ii to the

piece of stake 1t seemed to grow
heavier and harder to drag every minute.
Peter did not dare to go out across the

might happen along and he would have
no place to hide. So he crept along close
to the fences along which bushes grew.
