STATE HOUSE CALENDAR.
Regular Meeting of Governor and
Council viii Be Held at 10 A. M.
Wednesday, May 27.

The State Board of Railroad Com
missioners received Saturday morning
two petitions from the Maine Central
Railroad. In the first petition the rail-
road represents that it Is DESTROYS of
locating, constructing and maintain
ing a necessary track in Brunswick,
extending from the main line of the
railroad to the Lewiston branch, the
track being a "Y" track connecting the
main line with the Lewiston branch.
The above location crosses the town
ways, Cedar street and Spring street.
The location Of the proposed branch
is shown on map submitted to the
commissioners.
The other petition states that the
railroad desires to construct and main
tain a branch track in the town Of
Dennysville, Washington county, ex-
tending from a point in its main track
near Dennysville passenger station to
the cutting up" mill and log land
ing Of the Dennysville Lumber Co. In
both petitions the commissioners are
asked to determine the manner, and
conditions by which the railroad track
shall cross the town ways.
Bulletin of Dairy investigation Issued
The 18th Bulletin of the Investiga-

State department of agriculture, re-
Gently made its appearance. State
Dairy Inspector Russell Smith in pre-
senting the bulletin, says:
Modern methods and equipment
have done much to improve the quail
ity of creamery and dairy butter, but
the most skillful butter maker using
the modern machinery cannot over
come the evil effects arising from the
filthy methods followed by some pro-
dueers of milk and cream.
Unfortunately many dairymen have
not come to realize this condition of
interdependence which must evist be-
tween the creamery and the cream
producer and the infant and adult
consumers who receive his product.
Good butter cannot be made from
an inferior grade of cream. The bet
ter the quality of butter produced
the greater will be the demand. II
the creamery is forced to sell at a
lower price. owing to the poor grade
OF butter produced, it follows that the
creamery cannot pay as much for the
butterfat. The dairymen of Maine
