the stock coming from the various

grade to warrant the issuance OF a

Nursery Agents.

During the past season more
agents licenses have been issued from
this Office than in any other year since
the adoption Of the law creating a
license fee. In all l22 licenses We're
issued These licenses were applied
for by agents, solicitors and dealers.
II might be we'll 10 note that stores,
especially department stores. handling
roses and similar ornamental shrubs
have been required TO have a license
for the first time. II became evident
early in the season that certain
parties We're violating the law, so a
man was appointed 10 investigate
such cases. Sixty such cases were
looked after and four carried to court
There was no question as to the va
lidity OF our present law and each
man was fined SO and costs. A few
cases were settled out of court and
the violators were allowed to take
out license TO cover their period of
activity This was done because of
the fact that these parties were with
out doubt ignorant Of the passage of
the act. The greater part of the state
was covered, but no doubt there were
some agents selling stock without a
license who were not rounded up.
The adoption of the law making
it compulsory for transportation COM
panies to notify the state department
of the receipt Of consignmeuts OF
nursery stock and the name of the
consignee helped materially in getting
line on the various agents. Upon
receipt of such information it was
possible in most cases to find out from
the person receiving the stock who
the selling agent had been. Thus far

1.-THE folly Of disposing Of our apple
crop through the buyers has been
painfully apparent and it would seem
that a strong current of feeling should
be manifested in cooperative organl-
Zation,' states Albert X. Gardner OF
Augusta, the State horticulturist, in
his annual report which was made
public Tuesday. Continuing Mr.. Gard
ner says in his report: MANY grow
ers who have hitherto depended upon
the local buyers were forced to con-
sign their fruit to commission men,

low it to remain on the tree. because
of the unsettled market conditions ana

of cases were unknown 10 the trade

standing received from $50 to $500 d
barrel for their fruit. Many Of these
men and some Of the associations
took advantage Of cold storage so that
good deal Of Maine fruit remained
yet unsold.
probably the fruit from Maine the
J past yesrs was as good as has been
produced hrs far. The season was
not conducive to scab in the early Pc

maturing fruit. Because Of this and
the fact that insect Mfestation was

estimated that the commercial pro-

vicinity Of 300 barrels as against

DEMONSTRATION PLOTS.

Where tried, and there were many throughout the country, demonstra- ton plots showed to the owners of the land in nealy all instances that a moderate amount of top dressing with fertilizer of some form will, increase the profits from our grass lands very materially. The increase in hay pro- duction on these fields with top dressing compared with the untreated portion, showed the gain of nearly 100 per cent in yield. There are hundreds of acres of land capable of producing two tons or 21-2 tons of hay, but which will not due to the fact that even though they have fairly good stand of grass root the amount of val uable plant food for rapid growth and maturity is not present; it must be supplied artificia1ly. It is hoped that It will be possible to have several demonstration plots in every town in the county AS no better proof can be had. what should be done? Farmers have observed the results of last years plots and surely benefited from them by putting into practice similar treat n1ents

REMEDY FOR NANCE.

Very frequently it is found that cat tie here and there are troubled with the skin disease called mange. This often causes a great deal of trouble and lessens the producing ability of the dairy COW. Therefore as soon as any indications appear that the COW is affected in this way prompt meas ures should be taken to eradicate the trouble. As a treatment for mango the state board of animal industry recommends two ounces of carbolic acid. two-four pounds of powdered sulphur, and one 0alIon of crude en- zine oil to be mixed and applied with a. stiff brush every four days. Another treatment is the use of a, 3 per cent. liquid cTeosote compound and zinc ointment Care should be taken if the affected area is around the eye or other sensitive lace that the disin- feCtants do not enter into the eyes or mouth because they are likely to in- iure the delicate parts.

Coonerative RuYina.


 Now is the time that the farmers are making up their orders for various materials to be used the coming sea- son. Every farmer should remember that the County League is ready to give prices and to buy all the various materials comparatively. The following materials will be bought comparatively if the farmers are ready to cooperate: Fertilizers.
 Garden and other seeds. Lyme.
 Spraying machinery and material like lime, sulphur and arsenate of
 Spraying machinery.
 Fruit barrels baskets, etc.
 Grain. feed and supplies
 It is just recently that the ferti- lizeT dealers have been willing to quote prices in chemical but now they are out and we are ready 10 fill their orders. The sooner We get at this work the better for the farmer. By using our own chemicals and mixing them at home we can save anywhere from s to SIP ore even more on the actual cost since in many cases it takes only 1900 to 1900 pounds of the chemicals to duplicate a formula that is sold in the commercial form in ton lots we save the expense of bagging, carting, friight, and labor in applying the extra 800 to 200 pounds of Unnec- essary filler
 Farmers will be, told that they can not mix their own goods evenly, and other arguments. It has been proven in this county and every other one that one who can mix cement or gray el can mix his own fertilizers. Be- sides the county agent stands ready to aid both by advice and actual felD in making formulae and mixing the goods.
 We have written 10 all the various fertilizer concernns for quotations and nave prices that no farmer can obtain buying in individual lots Just this morning "Wednesday, January 6), a farmer who came into the office to ask about fertilizers could have saved S3 per ton on two ton of bone that he had recently bought. Here is another example.
 One of the prominent fertilizer con- Cerns offer 8 mixed fertilizer analiys- 1nS nitrogen 3-4 per cent, available phos. acid s-9 per cent, actual potash 4-5 per cent
 The market price is quoted at S30 cash Taking an average composition of 3.5 per cent. nitrogen, S.5 per cent. available plhos. acid and 4.5 per cent. actual potash the formula can be dJ- plicated in the following manner:
 466 lbs. Nitrate of soda.
 1060 los Acid phs
 209 lbs Actual potash
 1735 lbs. and the cost using present prices only $21.05.
 There is a saving of $9 per ton for mixing and a common hired man Cfron experienced can easily fix three to four tons a day. The time of the help at this season of the year is not very costly and it can be easily f1g ured out what this would cost.
 Other fOrm1llae can be duplicated with chemicals with still greated say ing in amounts and cost so it be- hoves every farmer in the county who wants to lessen his cost of production and that is just as beneficial as a. larger price for his goods to consider this proposition of home mixing of fertilizers. Call up the county agent and let his explain further.
