The keel OF Donald B. MacMillan's
new ship, the Bowdoin, has been laid at
East Boothbay. Three years ago when
Macmillan returned from the Arctic re-
gions he announced that he was done
with sledge and dog team, and would
make his next expedition with aircraft.
Now he has given up the airplane as i'm
practicable and returns to dogs and an
old fashioned ship. It may be interest
ing to state that the Bowdoin will be the
same size OF the Discovery, the ship in
which William Baffio made his journey
north five hundred years ago, which
resulted In the discovery Of the bay
(which bears his name. The ship will be
fbuIlt practically after the plan of the
Discovery with the modern touch of an
auxiliary engine. The purpose of Mac
Millan's new expedition is Q reminder
OF the Discovery and it's commander
the exploration OF the western shore of
Bsffin's Land, the longest stretch of un-
known coast line in the world. Mr..
Macmillan has just returned from his
seventh journey Into the far north
along the coast of Labrador and Hudson
Bay. He reports that influenza and
small pox have caused great mortality
among the natives. The villages along
the coast lost from one-third to one-haii
their population. Not living soul was
left In the town of Habron.

October Milk.

The October milk price which farmers
who supply the Boston market will re-
ceive is the same as in September, 10 IL
cents per quart delivered in Boston.
The Sales Committee of the New Eng
land Milk Producers Association decid-
ed to ask this price after careful con-
sideration of the costs of production and
the condition of the milk market at the
present time.
The milk of the members of the Asso-
citation was sold to Boston dealers on
tho 10 IL cents basis for one month only.
The conditions of the grain market and
other factors which affect the price of
milk are 80 uncertain at the present
time that neither farmer nor dealer
wanted to make contract for more
than a month. The decision of the
Sales Committee will affect the milk
price In other cities az 1t has been the
custom for some time past for the small
or markets to follow Boston in price.
Before deciding on what price to ask
for milk the Sales Committee, which
consists of representative farmers from
various sections of New England, con-
sidered carefully the costs of production
az shown in the data secured by the
Statistical Department of the Assooia-
ton. These data showed that the aver
age cost of producing milk in September
was 9.57 cents per quart at the farm.
To this must be added the freight, sta
ton and other expenses of bringing
milk to Boston. On the average this
amounts to more than cent quart.
The data secured by the Statistical
Department showed that while there
has been sharp decline in the price of
grain at wholesale, the actual decrease
in the retail prices out in the country Is
less marked. The decrease In retail
prices in the country amounts to about
10 per cent in the past two months. On
the other hand the costs Of labor have
increased In the same time. The de-
crease in grain is about offset by the In.
crease In labor costs and the regular
seasonal advance in the cost of produc-
ton due to the passing of the pastures
and the necessity for heavier feeding at
the barn.
The 81 per cent butterfat standard
was retained, as q recent opinion was
given by the representatives of the Dairy
Department of the New England Agri-
cultural Colleges that the 81 per cent
was the lowest which could be safely
sold under the Massachusetts law.

Ridgeway Farm.

One of the best apple crops of this yeal
is being harvested by Franklin Pierce
and son Ralph of East Hebron, whose at
traotive farm is located about q mile
from the railroad station on the road tc
BuckAeld. They expect to have at least
700 barrels, the varieties being princi
pally Mildings and Ben Davis. A few Of
their Baldwin trees are also loaded.
Ninety trees In one orchard set out tc
Mildings hung full, some OF the trees
having five barrels on them. Between
$50 and 450 barrels are expected out oi
this orchard alone.
This variety of apples are very round
and smooth, In color green with fust
of light red on one side. In some re
spects they resemble Greenings, but art
more perfect In shape. They are q de-
sirable winter fruit having good keeping
qualities and nice flavor.
Ten years ago an orchard was set will
Starks, the trees being forty feet apart
Between these Wealthies were set which
will later be removed. The Starks art
now beginning to yield.
Another young orchard with the trees
in 1t loaded was set out with Ben Davis
"This is one of the best varieties to raise
for the MARKET" said Mr.. Pierce, Sr.
"and We find demand for them fol
shipping purposes as their keeping quail
tiles are we'll known" Three years age
the Pierces were very successful with
this variety, fifty -four barrels being
shipped which netted them $455.
Quite lot of Baldwins are slso raised
the trees along the stone walls and road
side being grated to them after being
reclaimed from the bushes. From ont
S35 worth of Baldwins were sold three
years ago, nine barrels being harvested
Last year many of their apples went tC
Detroit, Michigan. Twenty-six barrels
of Shows have already been sold this
season. Besides other varieties mum
Der of Delicious trees have been set
These are said to be rather Q difficult
apple to raise In Maine, but the Piercel
are to give them a good tryout.
"Much depends upon the care OF thu
orchard in the fruit business" said Mr.
Pierce. "Where We formerly sprayed
we are now using dusting machine will
fine results. Not only does 1t expedite
tim6, put uO6b Fory oWCi6nC WOEk. Lh6
season at one busting we thoroughly GOV
cred 375 trees In an hour and one-half
Unlike spray the dust seems to settle OF
both sides Of the leaves and cling there
Evidences of 1t may be seen on then
now"
Another practice carried out at Ridge
way is mulohing the soil In the orchard
instead of cultivating it. This plaI
seems to have been carried out very sue
cessfully for number of years. Chem
icsls are applied, and the hay ia cut ant
left on the land broadcast. Moss is not
appearing under many Of the trees. "Tb
chemicals applied grow apples instead O
wood OF which there is too much don
by cultivation" said Mr.. Pierce, "an,
We feel that we are getting better result
by our method"

Ms. This pullet has laid 104 eggs ir
