SOUTH PARIS MAN GIVES
EVIDENCE
His Testimony Will Interest Every
South Paris Reader.

The value OF local evidence is indis-
putable. 1t Is the kind Of evidence we
accept as true because we know We can
prove it for ourselves. There has been
plenty of such evidence In the South
Paris papers lately, and this straightfor-
ward testimony has established conh-
dence in the minds of South Paris peo-
pie that will not be easily shaken.
johnson Martin, machinist, Gothic
Street, South Paris, says: whenever l

Wheat Eight Feet High.

Wheat standing eight feet high, barley
80 big and thick as to defy cutting by
harvester and other farm wonders are
noted in reports received from the gov
srnment agricultural experiment station
at Chena, in the Tapans Valley, 30 miles
from Fairbanks, Alaska. This immense,
broad, level valley is destined to become
the farming and grain growing section
OF Alaska.
E. R. Brooks began harvesting an 80
acre field of wheat recently, when he
was compelled to raise the harvester bed
to it's limit to cut the grain. G. o. Will
son could not use harvester In his bar
ley, as it was 80 thickly stooled and so
big a straw that the grain choked the
machine. The barley was moved down,
raked up like hay and hauled to the
thresher.
Throughout the Tansns Valley about
40 farmers are developing lands. Pota-
toes, turnips, cabbage and other crops
have made phenomenal growth this sum-
sunny, hot days. Practically all the in
terror towns are being supplied with veg
etables and grains from Alaska's own
farms.
The winters in the Tanana Valley are
milder than those in Iowa, and there is
light snow fall with no wind. Plenty OF
hay and often pasture all predict fu-
turs stock growing country. This fertile
section Is the last frontier of our coun-
try, and 1t Is proving paradise to many
hardy settlers.
A cabbage weighing 45 pounds, carrots
Ave inches thick, big bundles Of grain
and varieties of fruits have been shipped
to many fairs in the eastern cities.

Animal Feed Necessary for Hens.

Animal Feeo Necessary IOr IieuSs
During the summer months the farm.
er's flock balances its rations OF grain
and seeds with bugs, worms and green
stuff, and the farmer need not worry
about egg production II bis fowls have
been we'll culled. But winter feeding re.
quires that provision be made to supply
the deficiency of animal feed and succu.
lence. The absence Of these essentials to
good egg production is responsible In
large degree for the falling OF In yield
during cold weather.
Animal feed, or other feeds rich In pro-
tein, may be easily supplied on most
farms, particularly where skim milk or
buttermilk is available. The liking OF
hens for these dairy by.products is q
good indication of the need for what
they contain. Meat scrap is another ex-
cellent protein feed that has become
standard in poultry rations. Glover and
alfalfa leaves provide combination OF
protein. feed and green stuff. Often
enough of them may be swept up from
the barn floor where the hay is handled.
A good way to prepare them for the
flock 10 to pour boiling water over them,
cover the container and let them steam
for time, when they will be ready to
feed alone or in mash.
Sprouted oats has become one OF the
best providers of succulence in
winter. Mangels and cabbage, as we'll
as many other vegetables, are appreciated
by the hens.
In general, winter feeding is much the
same as summer feeding. On the gov.
ernmeut poultry farms the same rations
are used summer and winter. OF course,
in summer 1t ia unnecessary to feed sue.
culent feed when the birds have range
and are able to get plenty Of grass, al
falfa, or similar feed. The farmers flock,
however, is an exception to this rule, as
in many cases there Is enough waste
grain, seeds, etc., in summer to supply
much of the feed required.

Maine Apple Exhibit.

Major E. E. Philbrook, deputy COM
missioner of agriculture, and State Hor-
ticulturIst Frank Il. Dudley, are making
arrangement for the Maine exhibit at the
New England Fruit Show to be held on
Nov. As inclusive at Concord, N. b.
"We simply propose to take up there
the finest display of Maine apples that
has ever gone out of the state and un.
doubtedly as fine as any made anywhere.
Maine this year has tho apples, while the
rest of New England has short crop and
inferior quality as q rule. 1t will be re-
membered that at the recent Eastern
States Exposition at Springfield, Mass,
the Maine apple exhibit topped them all.
As matter of fact one other New Eng-
land state borrowed enough Maine ap-
pies to make showing, and another
state actually purchased Maine apples
for the same 'purpose-doing this only
because their own apple crops were not
of the kind that is usually exhibited.

0odwln's Herefords.

Hereford cattle are being made q
speciality by Henry s. Goodwin OF Han
over, who has some of the finest speci-
mems Of that breed In the state. The
herd was started 81 years ago by bis
father, Newell s. Goodwin, who has
turned 1t over to bis son who is engaged
in farming with him. While not as big
9 string as some In the state, efforts have
and judging BY the quality recently
shown at the Andover fair they have
succeeded.
All told they have seventeen head of
choice animals largely Of the Bodale
strain. In their lot shown were six from
three to five years of age. The two.
year.olds included very typy heifer for
which they have refused $500. This ami
NAL is said to be one of the best females
OF the breed In New England.
More or less sales have been made,
FIVE at one time, bringing $4,000 "Here-
fords have kept me off the town." said
Mr.. Goodwin senior, land We shall con-
tinue to keep them 80 ss to be sure Of
living"
The quality of the animals raised by
the Godwins may be judged somewhat
by the fact that they raised the COW Iss-
belle, who later became the champion
COW Of New England. Mr.. Goodwin sold
her when she was young to 81. A. Hicks
of Colebrook, N. h. He sold her to
John Walker of Newmarket. As the
prize Hereford COW of the East, $4,000
was refused for her.
During the years Herefords have been
bred by the Godwins more or less steers
have been raised but the demand for
fancy stock of both sexes has not given
them an opportunity to do SO to any ex-
tent. At one time, however, they had
eight trained white faced steers.
The herd exhibited this fall were oil
in excellent condition. They were taken
direct from the pasture to the fair
grounds and none of them had been
grained. Mr.. Goodwin stated that he
never grained his cattle as Herefords
always kept in good condition without
It,
In raising stock the calves are left
with their mothers running throughout
the summer In the pasture with them.
A new bull is frequently purchased to
prevent inbreeding. The present head
of the herd was sired by Valentine 9th.
In exhibiting at the Andover fair this
year 1t was necessary to drive them 13
miles. The Godwins formerly lived in
Andover not far from the fair grounds,
but are now located In Hanover.

The f1arrls Farm.

Perhaps as noted farm as any within
few miles radius OF the Democrat Office
is that owned by Frank Harris In East
Oxford. It is the farm owned, cleared
and settled by William Clark Whitney,
who for many years was the local agent
of General Andrew Craigie, . proprietor
of the town of Hebron, part of which
became the present town OF Oxford.
1t is situated on the highest point of
land In the town, being eight hundred
feet above the level of the sea, and is
known after the original owner, Whit.
ney Hill. Here Mr.. Whitney carried on
agriculture In large way, vieing with
the proprietor himself, on the noted
Craigie Farm on Allen Hill. Mr.. Whit
ney occupied large place In the life Of
the community. he was . councillor of
Names first governor, William King,
and was one of the first sheriffs of Ok
ford County.
Perhaps might not be out of place to
mention that William G. Whitney had q
brother Daniel, who settled in Oxford.
Daniel did not have the business ability
of his brother and never grew rich; but
he was rich in humor. In speaking
about his brother one day be said:
~ and my brother are the largest cat
tie owners In town! Together We have
fifty. My brother has forty-nine and /
have one."
This farm descended to a son, George
P. Whitney, who lived there until his
death. This son was as prominent In
the town life as bis father bad been. He
held during bis life about all the offices
within the gift of that municipality. he
represented her In the legislature and
for many years no town meeting was
considered properly organized without
Mr.. Whitney as moderator. He was
elected to the board of directors OF He-
bron Academy for many terms. George
P. Whitney carried on the farm upon
the scale inaugurated by his father. He
met with financial reverses during bis
later years, and the farm passed into the
possession of his son.
The son was born on the farm but in
his early manhood learned the drug
gist's business and never lived on his
property.
The present owner, Frank Harris,
bought the farm only within a year or
so. Mr.. Harris was brought up on
farm, and never departed far from farm
life. For many years he was q milk
dealer In Medford, Mass. His health is
poor but be has q son associated with
him In carrying on this place. 1t Is in
tended, however, to carry on the place
In the most approved way.

Everbearlne Strawberries.

A former South Paris man, Frank p.
Knapp Of Dry Mills, has some everbear-
ing straw berries worthy of mention.
The last of May he set out about 425
plants and throughout the summer was
obliged to water them by hand the great
or part of the> time because Of the
drought. Since the middle of August
when they were first allowed to bear,
Mr.. Knapp has picked about 100 boxes
and the plants are now loaded with ber-
ries ranging from large, ripe berries to
small green berries and blossoms. They
are of very large size and are delicious.
Mr.. Knapp has also raised large mum.
ber of wstermelons and cantaloupes,
which in size and quality far excel any.
thing known In this section of the coun.
try. The largest watermelon weighed
20 pounds, and there we're large mum.

How Hons Distinguish Food.

A hon distinguishes the different foods
by the appearance Of the food and her
sense of smell and taste. It is evident
that instinct guides the hen In the seleo-
tion of proper food and tells her what
kind Of food she needs to repair her
body and supply nutrients to complete
forthcoming eggs. Instinct also warns
her to seek heat producing foods at the
approach of winter and green foods and
grit when digestive stimulus 10 needed.
