The Rowe Parm.

Not far from the Pratt farm in Eas
Oxford is another farm equally 20 good
but dissimilar In many of It's qualities
Both are productive but in different
ways. The latter Is now owned BY
Charles G. Rowe.
There are parallel ridges of land or
each side of this farm which occupies
The valley between, although 1t Is not to
be understood a. being all valley land.
To understand the difference one
should approach this farm at nightfall.
On the ridges st either side the air is
dry but In the valley there 10 dampness
from the meadow lands. On the hills
there 10 breadth Of view and as q gen.
eral thing silence; In the valley the view
10 more clroumscribed but is made up
by animal, bird and insec, life with their
various cries and songs. In early spring
at nightfall the air is filed with the pip
ings Of hylodes, in the summer with the
songs of vesper sparrows, and In the
autumn with the ohirpings Of crickets.
There Is large old.fsshioned colonial
house on this place standing on one side
of the road with barns and outbuildinge
ON the other.
There are flelds on either side OF the
road with apple trees along the stone
walls. They are fertile and have been
we'll dressed and bear bountiful harvests.
One field above the barn has produced
hay at the rate of four tons to the acre.
1t is one OF the largest and best dairy
farms In Oxford.
For many years this farm was owned
jointly by Charles G. Rowe and bis
brother, Samuel s. Rowe. They were
among the first farmers In this section
OF Maine and do their work largely by
machinery. Very few farms are so we'll
equipped, and with such wide variety.
In the first part of the last century
this farm was owned by Addison Nelson
and on bis death passed on to his son,
Austin A. Nelson, who sold 1t to the
late Abijsh Paine. This gentleman
owned 1t some years before the Rowes
bought 1t.

Warning TO Hunters.

The approach of the bunting season
finds the woods Of Msine unusually dry
and the danger Of forest flrss 10 critical.
urge hunters and oil others who go
Into the woods to cooperate with our
forest service In doing everything to pro-
tect the valuable timber lands OF tho
state. Ihope that the opening OF the
hunting season will not be followed BY
an increase In the number Of forest fires.
Under the laws Of the state the gov
ernor has authority to suspend the open
season for hunting and he can prohibit
the carrying Of firearms In the forests
Of the state but this authority should be
used only IN case Of real emergeocy.
Our forests must be protected from hre
and every precaution against hrs must
be taken BY those Who ore about 10 sn-
Joy the liberal privileges which the state
gives them to hunt In, and enjoy the
woods of Maine.

Here and There.

Prof. Warren z. Moorehesd, who has
made several research expeditions into
the state OF Maine In the interests OF the
Department Of Archaeology OF Phillips
Academy, Andover, Mass, and has dis
covered all kinds of dead Indians OF
which most OF us know nothing, has
gone to East st. Louis, Missouri, to ex-
plore the big pyramids there,-more
especially the largest one known o. the
"Mopk's Mound" These were built BY
somebody, nobody knows who, and In .
year back In the past nobody knows
when. Perhaps these mounds were built
as many years back as tho pyramids OF
Egypt; perhaps earlier. They may con.
tain records Of the early days OF the
human race shortly after the epoch OF
the "missing link" Perhaps these OK.
cavations may prove that civilization be.
gan In the Mississippi valley instead Of
In India and Egypt. Perhaps there may
be some records OF the "lost continent"
supposed to have been located between
America and Africa. There are sixty.
four mounds In East st. Louis. The
largest one-the "Monk's Mouud,"-
which 1t is proposed to explore, 10 1850
feet long by 7S0 feet wide and l04 feet
high. 1t contains "a, ,000, 900 cubic yards
of earth. 1t has been estimated that It
would take 245S men two years at hand
labor to build 1t. The summit contains
one and one-half acres.
Archaologists are still digging around
Pom peii and still finding things OF inter-
est. Some of the things they fnd are
singularly like some Of the things we
have now, or but lately. II seemed they
had saloon politics 10 Pompeil before
Vesuvius got mad and threw hot mud
over the town. On the walls Of ono OF
these drinking places just uncovered
were political placards urging everybody
to vote for Lollius for duumvir. This
officer was Q kind of under mayor who
had patronage to distribute, hence tho
reason Why patrons of the saloon should
vote for him. There must have been an
| election on at about the time OF the orup-
ton for there were other plscsrds about
the city. 1t seems they bad labor troue-
lea In that far of day and the members
of unions took part 10 politics. The
goldsmiths put up man for edile-C.
