Cattle.
Cattle met with ready sale.
Increased receipts ali around this

but the recessio in prices hitting all
below strictly good 10 choice steers are
both seasonable and logical. That
more decline will come later on for the

fresh declines for these grades is
generous run from southwest pastures
and time is approaching when lib

1900 pounds and better can be looked
for from Kansas and Oklahoma.

Sheep.
Sheep and lambs were in demand.
Lamb trade was much more uneven
than usual and the price range was
wider than any previous time this ysaE.
Buyers showed a disposition to pay a
premium willingly for prime lots, but
such traders were the least urgent bio
ders for the palmer kinds. Outside
orders were limited altho city butchers
bought a few punches. Packers were
the main competitors and before very
late in the day they had absorbed the
bulk of the good 10 prime offerings.
Altho some prime lots were on sale,
the general quality, especially of the
natives, was considerably palmer than
a week or two ago. Local receipts
were of expected volume, aitho al the

For Some One to Answer.

We'd like to know if our Cambridge
friend knows what he is talking about
Read what he writes:
Editor Kennebec Journal:
Why is potash selling at $4,000 per
ton when there is enough of it avail
able in the New England States to
supply the whole world for many CEN
turtles? Who is it that is keeping this
fact from becoming generally known
and what is the reason? Our State
Agricultural Colleges we'll know of this
easily available potash supply. They
are also well aware. or should be, Of
it's extreme cheapness and solubility
for agricultural purposes. for many OF
them made tests as far back as 1889
and proved without a question the
value of this enormous potash supply
at our very door.
The Agricultural Department at
Washington has made very extensive
tests and found that this silicate OF
potash is soluble in the soil and as
easily and quickly available for plant
life as the German Potash Salts.
These tests are all scientifically des-
cribed in Bulletin 104. Bureau Of Plant
Industry. Agricultural Department.
Washington, d. c., entitled THE Use
of Feldspathic Rocks as Fertilizers"
In most Of the Middle States and a
large number Of the Southern States
there is an inexhaustible supply Of
potash feldspar that will run from six
to fifteen percent potash. In the
State of Georgia large deposits of
potash feldspar can be found in
Cherokee. Lumpkin, Rabun and sew
eral other counties. In North Caro-
lima, deposits can be found in Alexan-
der. Buncombe, Hickory, Clay. Cleve-
land. CASTOR, Haywood, Mitchell and
many other counties in unlimited
quantities.

In infancy Graded on winters cold
His boyhood was sturdy and strong;
The snow-laden breezes his fa!r brow
careSSsed
And hushed him to sleep with their
song.
But the fair maiden Spring stole over
the hills,
And lured him from Winter away;
Their merry feet wakened the brooks and
the rills,
And valleys grew brighter each day.
The gentle-eyed daisies from slumber
Their tribute of beauty to bring.
While natures grand chorus the deep
silence broke

Did fairies their footsteps attend.
New pictures of beauty to ever disclose.
While hand clasped in hand they
ascend?
There waited sweet Summer in garments
of white,
To give them welcoming hand,
And guide them still onward to bowers
more bright.
Where Summer was queen of the land.
Mid loose flowing tresses of sunny-hued
stil fingered Mays fragrance and

Hung garlands for bright, happy June
While swiftly the hours flew on golden
hued wings.
Our hero to manhood had grown:
But whore was the beautiful, laughing
eyed Spring?
Alas! from his side she had flown.
With Summer he sought mid the cool,
shady bowers,
Perchance her light footsteps had
strayed

But vainly they sought for the maid.

Maine Gossip
If All Who Hate Would Love Us.

If all who hate would love us,
And all our loves were true.
The stars that swing above US.
Would brighten in the blue;
If cruel words were kisses,
And every scowl a smile,
A better world than this is
Would hardly be worth while;
If purses would not tighten
To meet a brothers need,
The load we bear would tighten
Above the grave of greed.
If those who whine would whistle.
And those who languish laugh,
The rose would rout the thistle,
The grain outrun the chaff.
If hearts were only jolly,
If grieving were forgot.
And tears OF melancholy
Were things that now are not.
Then love would kneel to duty
And all the world would seem
A bridal bower Of beauty,
A dream within a dream.
II men would cease to worry.
And women cease to sigh,
And all be glad to bury
Whatever has to die;
If neighbor spake to neighbor,
AS love demands of all,
The rust would eat the saber,
The spear stay on the wall;
Then every day would glisten,
And every eye would shine
And God would pause and listen,
And life would be divine.

A Cautious Decision.

A young fellow once tried for a job
on the police force. He passed the
physical tests easily but, the written
examination gave him more trouble.
One question was, "A man buys an ar
ticle for s1225 and sells it for 1915.
Does he gain or lose on the transac-
tom"
After bordering over the question for
some time the candidate wrote, He
gains on the cents, but loses on the
dollars"
