SOMETHING WRONG HERE

The price of milk and cream anC
butter and chees are higher than ever
known for the summer season.
A season when pastures give cheap
/ feed in abundance and when the win
ter transportation and labor problems
do not bother the producer.
And yet, the country over, there are
more big dairy herds being sold un-
der the auctioneer's hammer this year
than ever before.
In one dairy county that we know
five of the chief herds of the district
have been sold at auction in three
months. These herds were managed
by skilled dairymen; they were high
producing herds, they were on farms
where much pasture land was avail
able. and close to a big city market,
reached over paved roads.
And yet these experienced dairy
men, unusually favored in situation,
equipment and low overhead expense,
quit.
Any breeders magazine will show
pages of dispersal sales. All over the
countryemilk cows are going to the
butcher; big herds are being broken
WIN 0AO AAOO
quitting are cutting down their herds
so they can "afford" to stay in busi-
ness.
And about this time we discover that
milk and butter are not only the cheap
est foods we have been getting, but
that they are essential to the healthy
growth oft he young, and mighty near
essential to the welfare OF the adult.
We are discovering that there is
no substitute for butter, or for cream,
or. for whole sweet milk. and many
cities are supplying poor children
with free milk at their schools.
The necessity and demand for dairy
products is greater than ever before,
and still the source of supply is con-
stantly dwindling, and the men who
have been longest in business are the
kcenest to get out.
Maybe Uncle Sam will have to take
overt he milk business to insure the
health of the growing generation.

1909 Cords Coming Down This Year

Many a good pine has come down
the Wesserrunsett stream since the
sawmills first began to demand
Maine forest products, and In later
years, thousands of spruce have fol-
lowed the pine down toward the Ken
nebec river. At present, expensive
plans are being laid TO float down a
large quantity OF pulp wood from the
upper waters of the Wesserrunsett
With this in view, during the past
year, the Wesserrunsett Stream. Dam
and Improvement Company has been
formed Incorporators are Carroll D.
Prince of Westbrook; Forrest II. Col
by of Bingham; w. S. Strout of Brad
ford, Pa; r. e. Avery of Brighton
and w. L. Walker of Skowhegan. The
Brighton Manufacturing Company,
composed of w. s. and C. E. Strout,
both of Bradford and r. E. Avery of
Bigelow, own about 5000 acres of
good cumberland in the town. The s.
d. Warren Company of Westbrook,
through their operators Beales &
Walker of Pittsfield, have been OPP
Grating for pulp wood IN that vicinity
the past two winters hauling a part
of the wood to Dead Water station
and putting a part of 1t into Wesser-
runsett stream to be driven into the
Kennebec river. Last season, Beales
& Walker were not successful in get
ting their drive out into the Kenne-
bee but expect to have no difficulties
this season, the amount to be driven
being about 1000 cords. 1t is plan
ned after the stream is improved that
S. D. Warren Co. will buy pulp wood
through the Wesserrunsett valley to
be delivered on the stream. The tim
Der from the Brighton Manufacturing
Companys land will be operated by
that company or the stumpage may
be sold to 8. d. Warren Company. S.

known paper manufacturers of West

 A. l. You should be able to change back without coming to a dead stop The trouble, I believe, is with your driving First get the car speed down to about 12 miles psr hour, then just as you shift into second touch the ac- ceierator pedal with your foot for an instant. In other words, increase the engine speed just a bit as you shift. 7. The lever working out of it's posi- ton may be due to a poor meshing or the gears-that is, they are not properly engaged. The litter fork rod has groove in it and 4 plunger drops into this groove. The groove may be worn or the plunger spring weak, or the plunger may be sticking and not holding the rod in position. All trans missions make noise in second. but if 1t is louder than usual it verifies the above statement that the gears are improperly meshed. 3. The piston rings, pistons and cylinders all may be worn or only one of them in that con- dltlon may cause the oil trouble that you have. The engine will have to be dsmantled and an examination made You should use about one gallon every 5O0 miles. l presume the engine is pretty old and all parts are worn. Cut down your oil level as much as pos slole-that is, don't go too far above the normal level. Use a medium grade of oil. It is possible, as is often the case, that new piston rings alone will reme. dy the trouble.
 .. Would it be advisable to change a pinion and not differentiaI bevel if the bevel is in good condition? I un- derstand that you must use a pair. Can l match up a pinion with the bevel or make them fit in some way? How is it that the bevel is all right and the pinion is not?
 A. It is advisable to install pairs of gears or to take one old gear and Ian 1t in with a new one You can lap in by rubbing red lead over the gear teeth and operating the gears on test stand or lathe. You then can see how the teeth mesh by noticing the red lead that has been worn away in few minutes of running. If you cannot get good mesh you can use an abrasive between the gears and thus wear them down to fit, but you must approxi- mate this mesh of the gears in the axle. Sometimes you can get gear to match with another, but usually this IS not so. The pinion clipped because It was harder than the bevel.

Farmer Brown Found OutNulnber
 of New Things With His Trailer

The old COW that MT. Brown had
 been waiting for a chance to drive to the butcher for two weeks, was loaded into the trailer, and the round trip made in an hour and a half. Brown said it was worth s5 to drive her to town and the best part of it all was that she got to the butcher with no shrinkage. He stopped at a neighbours to buy few pigs to clean up the odds and ends about the ranch. He never considered this advisable before on &C.,
 count of the nuisance of getting a few
 pigs to market
 And so the days passed until it came
 time to go to the mountains. MT. Brown carried his bedding, and camp 1 ing utensils on the trailer, gave the family plenty of room in the car and did not have his lenders broken down
 with luggage as so frequently happens on campaign trips He says the trailer had no bad effects on the car.
