SEAWEED AS FERTILIZER
Could Such Be Used Probably On
Maine Potato Farms, Question 3. 4
A. Management Is Working On.

One Of the serious effects Of the Eu-
ropean war upon the Aroostook county
farmer has been the inability of the
fertilizer companies to obtain potash,
the only place where it is produced in
large quantities being in Germany, and
on account of the absence of this most
important ingredient all sorts of here
tofore unused fertilizers have been
tried by farmers.
There have appeared from time to
time statements in the public press
that potash could be extracted from
kelp. or seaweed, and it has also been
claimed that seaweed itself without
having the potash extracted is a most
excellent fertilizer.
The Bangor & Aroostook Railroa d
Co., naturally being interested in any
question that is Of interest to Aroos-
took farmers. is at the present time in
correspondence with the department Of
agriculture at Washington, in an ef-
fort to ascertain positively whether or
not 1t is true that potash can be ex-
tracted from kelp and also whether in
the opinion of the department seaweed
accumulated on the coast of Maine
would be desirable and beneficial as
fertilizer in its natural state, on
Aroostook farms and the outcome will
be awaited with much interest.-Com-
mercial.

SIMPLE COLDS OF CHILDREN.

It seems as If some catch a new cold
every few days. If they are strong
and rugged they may throw it of but
1t is risky to trust to luck. Better
give it quick treatment and don't take
any chances Of ats getting worse, be-
cause If you do the child may be laid
up sick and you will have a lot of
worry and doctors bills.
Best way to rid the child Of the cold
IL to give it few drops of Johnson's
Anodyne Linifnent on a teaspoonful Of
sugar. Give it about every four
hours. The children like it, too! And
it sure does stop a cold quick.
You've heard Of Johnson's Anodyne
Liniment probably ever since you were
child yourself.
Maybe you didn't know that the
recipe was discovered by doctor, old
Doctor Abner johnson. Yankee doc
tor, down in Maine.
He made it to stop pain and increase
the circulation. It's so safe you take
it inside for a cold or rub it on outside
to stop pain. And it does the work.
So whenever you need liniment for
anything use Johnson's Anodyne Lini-
ment. You can buy it most any place
where medicine is sold.-Adv.

GORHAM MAN INVENTS
HANDY MOTOR SLED
portland Press)

George Mason of White Rock who is
spending the winter in the woods in
the Rangeley lake region is finding a
| motor sled which he has invented,
mighty handy in getting about on the
lake.
Mr. Nason's sled is big one, being
about ten feet long by six wide. and
it is driven by powerful gasolene en-
CINE which turns two bladed propeller
such as is used on aeroplanes.
Mr.. Nasons sled consists Of two sets
of runners upon which a frame is
mounted. On the rear of this frame on
slightly raised base is the big gaso-
line engine which furnishes the power.
This engine is set far enough ahead
to allow for the propeller blades to
come up at the end of the sled. A sin
gle runner projects behind and this is
used for steering purposes. This is
connected with the front seat, so that
the chauffeur may keep sharp look
out ahead and direct the machine at
the same time.
The post office nearest to Mr.. Ma
sons camp is 20 miles away but it can
be reached by an all-water route down
the lake and river, and when the go
ing is good it is a comparatively easy
jaunt to make it on his motor sled.
In the summer time, Mr.. Mason is
accustomed to make the journey by
boat and the sled was made to take the
place Of a boat when boat is un-
available.
Beside making journeys to Wilson's
Mills which is Mr.. Nason's post office,
the sled owner uses his machine to
make journeys around the lake and
look after his pickerel lines. On these
trips he is accompanied by his prize
bull dog Jack, who sometimes rides on
the sled and sometimes tries to keep
up with it on foot. When fishing
parties come up for a few days in the
winter and visit Mr.. Nason's camp. he
piles all hands on the sled and takes
them wherever. they wish to go. 4..
When the going is smooth Mr.. Mason
can haul half a ton load on. his sled
The machine is capable Of speed of
something like ten or twelve miles an
hour, under favorable conditions. 1t is
not able to make much Roadway against
snow though, and for that reason has
been little used the past month.
