Wandering on the Farm

A city girl writes: 1T is a
fond dream of mine to become a
farmers wife and meander with
him down life's pathway" All,
yes, that is a nice thing; but
when your husband meanders off
and leaves you withoutwood and
you have to meander up and
down the lane pulling splinters
off the fence to cook dinner. and
when you meander along in wet
grass in search of the cows till
Vour shoes are the color Of raw
hide and your stockings soaked,
and when you meander out across
twenty acres of ploughed ground
with a club to drive the hogs out
of the corpfield, and tear your
dress in the barbwire fence,
when you meander back to the
house to find thst the billy goat
has butted the s%tuffin' out of your
child, and find the old hen with
forty chickens in the flower yard,
you'll put your hands on your
hips and realize that meandering
is not what it is cracked upto be.

The tub in which Diogenes, tbs

earthen jar discarded from the Cypele
temple. 1t had been used for wine
or oil for the sacrifice of the temple
and vas sufficiently large to allow
the philosopher a reclining place.
The truth of the tale has been called

RUNAWAY HORSE
STARTS SOMETHING
IN MAD FLIGHT

There was an exciting runaway on
Main street at about $50 Thursday
afternoon which threatened trouble for
a few minutes AS one Of the Armour
teams was coming up the street and
was nearly opposite the Waterville
Steam laundry. the thills fell off and
the horse started at a merry clip up
the street. The driver was pulled from
hit seat and landed heavily on the
pavement. The horse with the thillS
switching behind him continued in the
street to the Boothby office where 1T
cut in and onto the sidewalk, striking
and damaging an automobile belonging
to Robert Proctor, and just missing a
woman and little girl who got around
the corner Of the building just in time.
The impact of the collision with the
automobile threw the horse to the
walk and he was captured before he
could get to his feet. One mud guard
of the automobile was beyond repair,
and it was thought by some that the
axle was sprung. The horse was un-
injured and the driver beyond a few
bruises was not hurt. 1t was lucky
escape from serious damage in the
opinion of those who saw the trouble.

Lack of exercise in the fresh air is said
TO weaken the oxygen carrying power of

strong muscles and vitality and the for
nation of unsishtly and unhealthy fat is
the result.
If YOU are Is or % pounds above normal

APRIL MEETING
OF THE DAIRYMEN

The regular April meeting Of the Wa
terville Dairy Improvement Association
was held at the City council rooms
Thursday commencing at 1890 The
morning meeting was devoted to rou
tine business and a report from the test
er and an informal talk with DR.. Leon
S Merrill of the University Of Maine on
the extension work of the university.
DR.. Merrill is heart and soul in this
work and is the man who made it pos
sible and has made it a success. The
informal discussion which was held In
the morning was of great value to the
members present and gave them a much
clearer insight into what the University
is trying to do for the farmers of the
State. Following a picnic lunch, DR..
Merrill spoke to the members and
number Of interested people who were
present, on the subject, Successful Farm
ing" He spoke of the need Of diversi-
fed farming as opposed to general farm
ing and declared that the farmer should
study his property and his soil and the
market conditions and should plant ac-
cording to these conditions. He also
took up the subject Of marketing and
told of some of the plans whereby the
crop could be marketed to the best pos
sble advantage The address was a
very interesting and instructive one and
coming from a man who is thoroughly
familiar with conditions. it was of par
ticular force. Following the address
the speaker answered a number Of ques-
tions and the meeting was then adjourn
ed to the last Thursday in May. The
members present declared that it was
one of the largest attended and most
interesting meeting that has been held
by the association for long time
