can feel that some progress is being
made in the right direction"
The Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Washington is only one Of the large
Pennsylvania subsidiaries to be brought
within the direct operation of the par
ent company within a comparatively
recent time. Only O few months ago
the Panhandle and the Nandalia sys-

dlvidual organizations abolished. Inc
Northern Central likewise was taken
over under the consolidation plan and
many smaller roads lost their identity
In a similar manner.
The Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Washington railroad pays dividends Of
6 per cent. on its 25,i3S,O00 Of capital
stock. This same rate will be contln-
ued under the lease proposal, and a
fixed annual rental will be established.

and some OF the best surgeons and
physicians are born under this sign.

FOR CLEAN FAIRS
STATE

Liquor selling or gambling will not
, be countenanced on the grounds of any
agricultural fair association and a
conviction of this nature will mean
that the fair association will lose its
State stipend. Hon. John A. Roberts
of Norway, the State commissioner of
agriculture, Monday sent a letter to
the officers Of every fair association in
tie State bearing on the matter as
follows:
Il desire to call your attention to the
laws of the State of Maine which pro-
vldes that each agricultural society
receiving stipend from the State and
all agricultural societies receiving aid
from the State by special act of the
Legislature. shall cause the prohib-
itory liquor law to be enforced on all
grounds over which they have control.
and not allow any immoral shows.
gambling in any form or games of
chance on said grounds.
This law is explicit and the inten-
ton Of It was to provide clean fairs. It
y open to anyone to make complaint
against a fair on account Of conditions
existing during its exhibition. Those
Paving charge of a fair should be in a
position to show that they took rea
sonable steps to prevent violation of
the law"

Praise for an Augusta Pastor.

An Old Orchard special in relation
to the Universalist meetings at the
Ferry Beach Park grounds has the
following to say regarding the success
OF the meetings:
The meetings of the Universalists at
this beautiful spot have increased as
rapidly as the equipment has been i'm
proved. During the earlier years,
they were only about two weeks in
duration, but now they last for double
that time. Some of the visitors stay
during the entire session, while others
come for two weeks or less. People
gather for the meetings from all over
New England.
Two men who have been in a large
measure responsible for the success
of the present meetings are Rev. D. A.
Rall of West Paris, Me-, and Rev.
Francis Walch of Augusta. Mr.. Ball
is the steward and is in charge of the
management of the Quillan and the
Underwood. He has been associated
with the association for many years
and has served for four years as Sec
rotary. HIS careful care of details has
been big factor in having the meet
ings run off smoothly and keeping all
of the visitors satisfied and happy.
Mr.. Walch is the present secretary OF
the association and through his wide
acquaintance with the visitors and his
untiring efforts in planning for the
r:eetings he assured their success form
tie start.

The following has been issued from
the office Of Hon. ]. A. Roberts, COM
missioner of agriculture for Maine:
The most critical period Of a calf 3
life, if life alone is considered, is the
first six months. This was ably dis
cussed by Mr.. Adams of this bureau
in a recent. article. However. if the flu
ture usefulness of. the heifer as
dairy COW is the point considered.
then the critical period is between the
time she drops her first calf. believe
a good dairy COW can oftentimes be
made or ruined during this period Of
her life. There are various ways Of
raising heifers, hardly any two farm
ers using the same method; and. I
am sorry to say. so little thought is
given to actually developing dairy
quality and capacity that very sell
dom "a farmer has a method and so
the reifers one year may have a very
different chance in life from those Of
another year
Space will not permit going into de-
tail ir this short article as to the best
method Of development; but I wish to
call attention to some of the essen
tials. First, health. Given the same
opportunity for education, which is
the better fitted for lifes work. a
youth bred and reared in the country
or in the city? The country fellow. of
course. because Of the health and
strength gained from the pure air and
the exercise Of a life in the open. The
body is developed with full. strong
| lungs and hard muscles which. once
attained. will prove a great asset all
through life. The same is true Of the
young dairy stock while being raised.
! The tie-up. plenty Of grain blankets
and grooming will turn out a beautiful
heifer for the show ring, but should
not he carried too far If you want a
profitable COW in after years. Give as
much exercise as possible, winter as
we'll as summer. The next essential is
feed-feed that will produce growth
and proper development. Feed. at all
times. should be abundant, so that as
much growth as possible may be at
tanned before the heifer begins her
life Of usefulness as a dairy COW; but
her feed should not be given in con-
centrated form. or at least as little Of
it as may be. In summer the pasture
should be so abundant that the heif-
err can make good growth without
any grain. Even If the heifer lost some
Of the fat and bloom she had before
being put out to pasture, I should not
worry. IT, however the pasture is poor,
