Ericsson Sought Power From Sun.

To Americans perhaps the most in
teresting Of all experimenters In this
field of vast promise was John
Ericsson, the engineer who invented
the Monitor In the Civil war.
Ericsson, a man of great scientific Inn
agination, was early caught by the
lure Of the sun-power scheme and he
devoted several years Of effect to 1t.
It is said that he spent upwards of
100000 in an effort to perfect some
mechanism for harnessing the suns
energy. Ericsson estimated that the
trapping Of the suns energy In the
Mojave desert alone would furnish
enough power to run all the factories
and shops Of the United States. He
wrote:
"a couple Of thousand years, per-
haps much less, dropped in the ocean
of time will completely exhaust the
worlds coal fields and leave man des-
titute of his chief source Of fuel and
power unless in the meantime he finds
a way Of employing the heat Of the
sum-"
Ericsson invented seven different
forms Of sun motors, all successful IL
a small way, but the fires of his
genius were dying down, and ne was
unable to bring his plans to the state
of perfection required.

Organize Sweet Corn Industry.
T.s. Adams, Chief of Maine Markets.)

Maine produces q large amount OF
sweet corn for canning purposes. There
are 70 corn canning factories In the state.
In the past, the Gamers through their
association have fixed the price to be
paid, form Of contract, method Of weigh
Ing and ssmpling at tho factory, kind Of
seed used, and time of payment. The
contracts used by some Of the Gamers
had clause in them which gave them
an opportunity to cancel the contract
any time before the first Of May. The
contracts and soresges are signed up In
the fall In the fall Of 1915 the Gamers
through their association, agreed upon
q price of cents per pound. In March,
1919, one Of the Gamers who owns sew
eral factories, notified his growers that
he had cancelled the contract made 10
the fall and would send bis man around
to make new contract of cents per
pound.
At Q grange meeting held In Benton
about this time, someone asked the
question, "Why not organize the grow.
ers so they might have something to
say about the price paid, form of con-
tracts, etc. ?" A committe was appoint.
ed at this meeting and they appealed to
the department of agriculture, college of
agriculture, county agents and farm
bureaus, to help form an organization
The bylaws which were drawn up by
the bureau of markets are very similar
to the bylaws of the N. E. N. P. A.
The local associations are composed of
sweet corn growers, who are patrons Of
the same factory; the county associa-
tion is made up OF the presidents of the
locals and one delegate for each 20 mem
bers or major fraction thereof; the state
association is composed of the president
and vice-president of the county sssocia-
tiops. At the state association an execu.
tive committee consisting of FIVE men,
bers is elected; this committee to confer
with the packers on matters affecting
both parties.
The organization of this association
started In with rush last spring. In
short time letter was sent out from the
Gamer who had notified the growers
that bis contract bad been cancelled,
saying he had rescinded the order and
would pay the price agreed upon of
cents per pound. This meant Thousands
of dollars to the corn growers of the
state. The organization was completed
last September. At the present time
there are go locals out of possible 10,
with membership of 2100.
Last spring at meeting Of the officers
of these different associations held In
Augusta, committee was appointed to
work ont plan of federation 80 that
they could buy their supplies through
one agency. That is, the association
that is doing the largest business in any
one commodity to buy for all the others.
This would mean the Aroostoook fedora
ton of farmers to buy the fertilizer and
spraying materials for potatoes; fruit
growers association, packages for sp-
Piles, spraying material and spraying
machinery for fruit; farmers unions to
buy the grain, groceries and hardware

arIzzIx Bear Aplenty.

Grizzly bears in such numbers that
they lost count Of the animals seen. is
the story brought to Vancouver re-
Gently by ]. McHugh, resident engi-
neer of the Dominion fisheries from
the headwaters Of the Bella Coola riv-
er, says a Canadian dispatch.
He spent three weeks in the wilds.
He went North by one Of the Cana
dian Pacific coast steamers to Bella
Coola, and thence by canoe and por-
tage up the Atnarko and Whitewater
rivers to the heaiwaters. They were
following the spawning salmon and
clearing the streams to let the fish
get to the spawning grounds. Large
numbers of grizzly bears attracted to
the stream by the numberless fish
made night life in camp a restless
dream. The Indian guides shot q
number Of the animals.

TORN BY DISORDER
Little Montenegro a Land Of
Eternal Strife.
centurIes.oId Customs Of Feuds and
vendettas Maintained - Republl.
cans and Monarehlsts Keep
the Country In Turmoil.

While the allied statesmen at Paris
deliberate on the fate Of the ma
tions of Europe, Montenegro contln-
ues Its century-long customs Of feuds,
vendettas, shooting trays and inter
nal strife, and seems Outwardly to
give little attention to the fate re-
served for it by the great powers.
There Is a semblance Of local gov
ernment, but Serbia exercises pre-.
ponderating influence In the affairs of
the country.
There Is q faction Of the people
which desires a return Of King
Nicholas and the restoration OF the
monarchy. There is constant strife
between the royalists and the repub-
licans. the disorders usually taking
the form of fatal shooting combats
in the mountains. Feeling runs high.
The republicans accuse the mon.
archists of hiring members OF the
comitadje, desperate mountaineers
who respect neither law nor life. to
kill the leaders Of their party.
These shooting and stabbing affairs
usually take place in sections where
the royalists are the strongest. The
casualties sometimes are serious. Not
a day goes by but the American doc
tors attached to the Red Cross mis-
sion at Cettinje, Podgoritza and Kol-
acin are not called up to treat victims
Of these encounters. At Podgoritza
there have been as high as twenty
wounded natives at the Red Cross
hospital at one time.
There also are occasional border
fights between the Montenegrins and
the Italians and Albanians. The feel
ing between these races Is extremely
violent. When the Associated Press
correspondent was passing through
the small frontier town Of Plavnitza.
at the head of Lake Soutari, there was
a massed company Of 250 Montene-
grins preparing to attack an Italian
garrison on the opposite side OF the
lake. Many Of these Montenegrins,
who were poorly clothed and
equipped, were mere boys Of sixteen
and seventeen. Some Of the older
soldiers had been to the United States
and boasted American citizenship. All
professed desire to give up fighting
and return to America. The attack
on the Italians took place the next day
and many casualties on both sides are
reported.
Slightly smaller than the state Of
Connecticut in area, Montenegro has
a population of less than quarter OF
a million. Even this small number
find 1t difficult to get enough out OF
the soil to support life. The country
is rocky, desolate and barren. 1t
might be called huge pile Of stones.
An American visitor remarked that Its
national emblem should be a tomb
stone. Its mountains for the most
part are woodless and bare, and Its
valleys are made productive only by
careful husbandry Of the soil and In
tensiye farming.

Oxford County Farm Notes.

L. E. and G. E. Thayer of Paris Hill,
breeders of Shorthorn cattle, have IL
cows, Q pure bred bull and four steers
they are wintering. The strain has been
bred by them for the past 80 years and
are milk producers. The steers include
fine pair of yearlings which girth near
ly 6 feet, and pair Of calves that are
5 feet and inches. Good feeding keeps
their stock growing when 1t is raised,
and 1t is always in good condition when
exhibited.
George Files of Lowell has a Brown
Leghorn over which he is now justly
Dragging. She laid an egg last week
that measured seven by nine inches.
And yet the Leghorn Is one of the small
est breeds of hens. One would naturally
suppose that their eggs would be small
but this Is not the case. In fact the
average Leghorn lays an egg fully as
large as the big American breeds.
Mrs. George K. Hastings of East
Bethel holds the highest egg record
from this part of town. From 80 Rhode
leland Red pullets which were hatched
May I'd last, she received during the
month of December $40 eggs. From
one pen of Is she received 294 eggs,
making an average of 1915. Can any
flock beat tbisP Speak up!
L. E. and G. E. Thayer have four
horses at their farm beyond Paris Hill
Among them 10 included ur-year-old
Percheron. He was sired by pure bred
Peroheron owned by Mr.. Coolidge. This
animal Is said to be very good speci
men of the breed. Judging by the
Thayer colt he must be we'll conformed
animal of the breed for the colt is vel
trained In every way. he is fat and slicl
this winter and shows care and goot
feeding. His dam was black PercheroI
mare owned by the Thayers. Whel
asked what he considered the mos
practical thing for farmer to do, rails
or buy his horses, Mr.. Thsyer said h'
did not believe there was much differ
enoe in the cost when colt reaobe
maturity.

Hens Feed Affects Rgg Yolks.

In extreme cases the flavor and odor
of the feed have been impaired to the
egg. Onions have been fed in sufficient
quantity to bring about this effect.
Those who desire to market q first-class
article should not give feeds of high and
Objectionable flavor to their flocks.
In no case should tainted feed be al
lowed to enter the ration. Feed also has
an influence on the color of the yolk.
Corn fed exclusively will give deep
yellow or highly colored yolk, while
wheat fed alone will produce q much
lighter yolk. A fairly high oolored yolk
is usually preferred and can usually be
obtained by feeding moderate amount
of corn. Plenty Of green feed also en-.
riches the color of the yolk.

Asparaxus Roots Scarce.

There is strong demand for aspsra-
gus roots for setting In the spring of
1920. The shortage is extremely acute
and lots of any size cannot be placed.
The market garden specialist Of Lexing.
ton, Mass, Is recommending the new
variety developed at the Concord aspara-
gus experiment station, and called the
Washington. This variety combines
rust resistance, good size and extra good
quality. Where 1t has been planned to
increase the asparagus acreage BY set
ting plants in 1921, 1t is a good plan
to plant seed of this variety In the spring
of 1920 and grow your own plants for
the following spring setting.

Mites In poultry houses hide during
the day underneath the roosts, and in
crevices. At night they crawl upon the
fowls and suck the blood. When full OF
blood they are red, but at other times
are gray. The best way to combat them
is with kerosene sprayed on the perches,
especially on the lower sides and also III
crevioes all around the roosting quarters.
Be liberal with the kerosene, and do the
work each week or two. II will help TO
produce eggs.
