Have you noticed that flies are mucn
Ness plentiful than they usually are at
this time OF year? The deficiency may be
due to an unfavorable season, to the war
to the advent of the automobile and the
passing of the horse, but more likely it is
to be attributed to the fact that we've
fatally swatted not less than three dozen
flies thus far this year. Their potential
progeny would easily account for the

Save All the Hay.

We are hearing frequent express
sions from farmers, such as I'VE don't
know what to do with our hay-our
barns are full. There's SO much Of 1t
everywhere that it isn't worth any
thing, anyway" Has the art Of
stacking been lost? Our advice to
Maine farmers would be to save
every lock and spear Of it. Tho
cleaning up Of surplus last spring. bad
weather in some hay-raising sections.
and the fact that not all sections have
harvested an average crop. all these
are reasons why Maine farmers should
not be reckless in disposing Of their
bountiful crop.
Wouldn't 1t be wiser to buy stock
and feed the surplus than to waste It
or sell it at a low price? Much Of the
Maine crop has been discolored by
wetting. injuring the marketing value
more than its actual worth for feed
ing. Tho nutriment is there and,
properly handled with grain ration,
should be put into growth Of young
stock and tho fertilizer 60 back to the
land instead Of selling at small price
and turning that into commercial fer
tilizer.
We hope farmers will not jump to
the conclusion that hay is going to be
"a glut on the market" before the
spring Of 1917. Save all the hay and
feed 1t or wait awhile.

Breaking It Gently.

The New England Coal Dealers
Assn has sent broadcast to the press
(free) as Of more importance to the
public than to its members, an
authoritative expose Of conditions
now existing in the anthracite coal
trade" As we are unable to determine
the percentages Of generosity and
self1shness in this communication, we
offer its substance hoping that it will
do less of public harm than good. The
letter says:
In April 1916 there was mined nearly
two million tons less than in the corre-
spending month 1915 In May, 1916. nearly
one-half million tons less. During this
period in 1916 there was labor trouble
which. according to the newspapers was
settled. but which, in accordance to the
facts existing in the mining regions. was
not settled. There was practically no
storage coal on hand April LIST. except
small quantities in the hands of the re-
tail dealers. Labor shortage exists in the

land lines has been obliged recently to
inflict an embargo to relieve congestion.
which means that for period of time no
anthracite coal could be shipped from the
mines consigned via this particular rail-
roads lines This Is unprecedented at
this time of the year.
Transportation facilities by water are
scarce. Water freight rates are extreme
ly high for this season 1t is up to the
consumer himself TO say whether or no,
we shall have abnormally high priced
coal next winter. The consumer is as
much interested in storing coal at this
season as anyone else. Every person who
purchases coal now, has it delivered, and
pays for it promptly is doing his part
toward relieving the situation, and the
risk of shortage next winter

The following interesting extract
from letter written by Col. T. w.
Porter. from Ship Island, Miss, under
date Of March II, 1862, to the late A.
L. Simpson, has been handed the Com
mercial by Mrs. Simpson: I'VE obtain
the best of water by sinking barrels in
the sand and the sea water perfectly
filtered percolates readily through the
pure slick. The distance by water
from Bangor to this place is about
21oo miles. No government can be in
Healthy condition unless any citizen

Arthur B. Mitchell, superintendent Of
the Ellsworth poor farm, has made a
discovery-a sure and safe method Of
Kidding potatoes Of potato bugs. reports
the Ellsworth American. He did think
Of applying for patent rights on the
method, but the peculiar nature Of the
remedy made this difficult, and he de-
cided to give the public the benefit Of
his discovery, and find his reward in
tho or fifnHa 0f tho not TO- nf
the country. Mr.. Mitchell has hand
some patch Of potatoes at the city
farm. Visiting them one day recently
he found the bugs numerous, and de-
cided the next day to apply the usual
remedies. When he went to the patch
the next day, not a solitary bug could
he find. Mr. Mitchell farms with his
head as we'll as with his hands. Here
was a matter worthy Of attention.
What had become Of the bugs? At first
all his attention was directed to the
vines, but finally he noticed, in the soft
earth between the rows, the tracks Of
animals. Looking more closely, he dis
covered that these tracks led up one
row and down the next over the entire
patch. Porcupines. Two or three Of
the animals had cleared the potatoes Of
bugs in one night, and without injur-
ing the vines. Mr.. Mitchell declares
that this is no nature fake. Since he
made his discovery, one Of his neigh
bors has told him the porcupines did
him like service two years ago. So
there's your remedy. First catch your
porcupines.
