MAINE FOR HOMESEEKERS

re. E. Smith in the New England Homestead. /,
saw an article some time ago in re-
gard to the advantages offered to buyers
OF Wisconsin cutover land. | under
stand this land is rough and rocky, far
from markets and neighbors, and just as
it came from the woodmans ak. No
road but the old logging roads, and no
near school facilities. | understand that
the price ranges from $40 to $50 per acre.
10 people who care not for the ordinary
comforts of life. and pine for the pio-
neer's experience, this may all be we'll.
But to those who have once enjoyed the
benefits of near friends and nelghbors,
such conditions do not appeal very
strongly.
| have often been surprised that SO
many go to such places when there are
so many better opportunities to be found
in Maine, with all the privileges of
school, churches, roads, railroads and
neighbors, on cleared farms, with build
ings and orchards, which can be bought
as cheaply per acre as those rough and
stumpy lands referred to. Maine, and
especially Waldo county, offer special
advantages to the diligent farmer. 1t
may not be known that we raise more
potatoes, corn and oats per acre than
any other State. And we sell them for
more per bushel than they do in the
west. We get more for our milk than it
is sold for in the west. The average yield
of potatoes is double the average in the
whole country. One of my neighbors
raised 5000 bushels at the rate of % cents
per bushel and reckoned interest on the
land valued at 500 per acre. Another
made $500 on II acres. The gross in
come on 10 cows was $4,000 Another
herd of II cows $135 per COW; another of
l6 cows, Sl40 per cow Many similar
cases could be given among our common
farmers.
For production and prices, Maine can
not be excelled by any State in the
Union. And as to character and integ-
gritty, her citizens stand on an equal
with the very best. Having observed
the conditions in many of our States,
know of none that offer more advan-
tages for the honest homeseeker than
can be found with US. According to the
last United States statistics, Maine
advance in prosperity has been of a
States of New Hampshire, Massachu-
sets, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New
York, New Jersey or Pennsylvania.
With such record we are very proud.
We are glad to hold out the hand of well
come to all honest people who desire to
make their homes among US, feeling as
sured that they will be able to partake
of the spirit of our prosperity, and raise
up children that will carry on the good
work they came to help advance.

HALF A YEAR WITHOUT NEWS.

Writing of his recent voyage across the
Atlantic in a tiny schooner Charles w.

April Of meeting an American merchant
man one hundred and ffty-ti days out,

serted Joe.

Il know that, daddy, but I'm going

ought to get good prices"

"What for?"

Ills mother and sister continued to-
ward the house, and Joe went to
where his father was steadily blowing.
What you going to plant, daddyT'
he asked. Mr.. Weston grinned a bit
sheepishly.
Il amt never thought about plantin'
oats till seen you do 1t, and l just
fggered l could foller the oats with
late corn, an maybe some peavine hay
for these critters, and make a double

l were you I'd cross break this land
and I'll harrow it for you tomorrow"
Exactly what l was goin' to do"
said his father.
And, daddy, If you want to, you can
turn those horses in on my rye nights
when Sullivan's horses are off. | think
some green stuff would help them a
whole lot"
Now, that's mighty clever, SON
an you needn't pay for the use of the
wagon to haul that fertilizer in, nor
for the use of the harrow and horse"
THANK you, sir I'm going up now
and see how much seed oats have
left-I think there is a bushel and a
half. You may have emit will save
you just that much"
His fathers eyes followed him up
the hill toward the house. Joe felt
nearer to his father than he could
ever recall befOre-more on an equality
as a comrade with him.
"Giddap, Baldyr' called Tom Weston
to the lazy one of his team. . Badly,

That night Joe got down his account

Dor, seed. On the opposite side he
wrote the heading Income" for the
first results of his, farming operations

the pigs in for the firm, but presented |
both to his mother and sister.

wrote under his individual account, |
then paused. He started to charge the |
pig at the two dollar value, but at once |
put the thought from him.
"One of those pigs is mine; the other
is Mr.. Somervilles. If | take his pig |
and make present of it l should settle
with Mr.. Somervile at what the pig
would be worth when he and | settle !

Then he picked up the pen.

wrote.
