Again Mr.. A. S. M. Hutchinson, this
time in If Winter Comes, is at his
complete DEMONSTRATIONS. "Mabel
was not demonstrative," runs one of
them. "Whatevcr she saw or heard or
read, she saw or heard or read exactly
as the thing presented itself. If she
saw door she saw merely piece of
wood with handle and keyllole. 1t
may be argued that door is merely
piece of wood with handle and a.
kcyhole, and that is what Mabel would
have argued. But door is in fact
the most intriguing mystery in tho
world because of what may be the
other side of 1t and of what goes on
behind it. To Mabel nothing was on
the other side Of anything she saw
and nothing went on behind it,"
"She"--it is Mabel again-"reveled
in gossip, that is to say, in discussion
with her own class of the manners
and dongs Of other people. She
thought charity meant giving iellv
and red flannel to the poor; she
thought generosity meant giving money
to some one; she thought selfshness
meant not giving money to some one.
All that her senses set before
her she either overvalued or under
valued; she was the complete snob in
the most refined and purest meaning
Of the word. "a,
"She was much liked, and she liked
many"
From the treasured Tribune we learn
that "the Mauritania for fourteen
years has stood out as the peer of the
transatlantic liners" Any boat that
can stand out on that account is, as
Tom Lewis said about it in 1908, some
skiff.

Among the Canton Point farmers who
put in big crops this year is A. G. Rich,
who purchased the Ellis farm several
years ago. Being one of the big farmers
there, Mr.. Rich's operations also include

Mr.. Rich states that he has 10 acres Of
sweet corn for the Portland Packing Co.,
which will be hauled to Canton, q dis
tsnce of two or three miles. When asked
about his raising It for 1-2 cents q
pound, he stated that he could do 80 this
year for that better than he could last
year for cents. Two acres of yellow
corn was also put in. Other crops In.

mains the best known kind, and fruits
fairly we'll, although the berries seldom

variety by Q week or so, and 1t has

practical way to grow this berry In order
to get satisfactory results 10 to keep It In

A fall-bearing raspberry which has re.
ceived much notice the last year or two
is called La France. La France Ii pretty
high In price as yet, but only one or two
are needed to give anybody q start as
suckers come In tremendous quantities.
The plant grows almost like tree, and
the berries are remarkable for their size.
They have good favor, and are borne
freely II the plants are given hard prun-
ing In the spring and the suckers kept
down. Probably the best results come
when little attention is given to the
spring crop, the plants being run espe-
cially for fall yield.

DEAD MAN At THE THROTTLE
Too Many Men Are In Principle Like
the LlfsIess Engineer In Charge
Of Train.

Not long ago, humping over a net
work Of frogs and switches. the limited
express on great transcontinental
railway sped into the terminal station
at large city with the engineer dead
at his post. he sat In his accustomed
place; his sightless eyes were riveted
on the track ahead Of him; his nerve
less fingers still gripped the throttle.
So lifelike was his position that the
fireman, who had become alarmed at
the undiminished speed as they neared
the station, shook him roughly before
he realized that the man was dead.
He shut of the steam and applied the
brakes Just In time to avert terrible
catastrophe.
A dead man at the throttlsl bow
many calamities in life can be traced
to men In q like condition. God has
given each Of US the charge Of won
derful machine-the human body with
Its complex mechanism through which
act our physical, mental and moral
forces. We are each an engineer, and
each of US must drive his machine
along the destined path between the
eternities.
Many meet with catastrophes. We
cannot always explain them. but how
many times the cause is-a dead man
at the throttle! he sits in his accus-
toned place with his eyes fixed On
the track ahead, but he Is dead never
thelsss to all thought Of moral OF
spiritual responsibility. There are
helpless people on the track before
him; there is a long train Of unborn
generations coming after him; but he
does not see or think or feel.
It is one Of the mystifying truths
of life that q man can be outwardly
alive although inwardly dead. His
mind may be keen and his senses alert,
though he is dead in heart and soul
It would be better for the world II lie
were physically dead; for while he re
mains physically alive he Is still an
engineer in control Of dangerous
forces-forces that he cannot use With
consideration for others or as He VINO
intrusted him with them expected
them to be used. The powers 1t was
his duty to control are great; uncon'
trolled, they are curse rather tnan
q blessing. Ungoverned by principle
and love of others, they are sure to
bring tragedy and suffering to every
one in their path.-Youth's Companion

Feeding Pregnant Cows.

Poorly nourished cows give birth to
weak, puny calves which are hard to
raise. The feeding of the calf, therefore,
begins before 1t is born. The food ele.
ments necessary for the development Of
the calf are taken into the stomach OF
the COW, digested, assimilated. and trans.
mitted to the calf through the umbilical
cord, the connection between the mother
and the calf. It is evident that II the
COW does not receive food enough to
keep herself In thrifty condition, and at
the same time develop her calf, both she
and the calf must suffer.
In endeavoring to raise good, thrifty
calves many dairymen handicap them
selves at the start by not properly feed
ing the pregnant COWS. Such cows
should have IN abundance of palatable
and succulent or juicy feed In order to
insure good body flesh and healthy,
thrifty condition ut calvipg time. The
calves will then be well developed,
strong, and sturdy, and ready to respond
normally to proper feed and care.

THE LITTLE GODS.

rs NAN all error, God all TRUTH
! sometimes wonder. Why does
God
Put noble hearts In coats uncouth
And silken raiment on clodf
Rags for the innocent to wear
And for the jade the satin shawl
I see such error everywhere
I sometimes wonder, after all.
And yet do not wonder long:
This topsy.turvy Is not His
The world Of right, the world Of wrong.
The same today and ever Is.
II sin wears satin. virtue rags,
IT'S not Gods fault-it Is because
We sit upon Our money-bags
And dare to change Gods very laws.
Our little time we play the lord.
Forgetting God, ourselves are gods.
And virtue punish, sin reward.
While judgment slumbers, justice
mods.
And then some day q mighty hand
Shall sweep US from our stolen
throne
No little gods shall rule the land,
But God shall rule. and men atone.
The little gods are many-lust,
Extravagance and idleness,
And greed that bathes itself In dust.
And fippant speech, immodest dress;
The little gods shall rule awhile
Their little women. little men
And then the Only God will smile
And set the world TO rights again.

The Dunn Farm.

General farming and fruit raising 10
carried on quite scale ct the farm OF
Adelbert Dunn, just below Buckfield vii
lage. Producing milk has brought the
farm up to high state of cultivation, ,
big herd Of cattle having been kept for
years. Just now 16 COWS are In milk, the
greater part of them being the black and
white. A pure bred Holstein bull heads
the list.
"The margin OF profit is small In dai-
rying nowadays" said Mr.. Dunn, who
has made . study OF the conditions
With the big drop In the price of whole
milk at the factories how is the farmer
going to get anything out OF his labor
and Investment at the present time?
With the prices that prevail the man on
the farm does not have . very cheerful
prospect for the season. Even his Hive
stock would be hard to sell and be could
get but vecy little for IL.
"In the past We have raised some
sweet corn, but not this year ct the prices
offered. Instead We have put In six
acres Of fodder corn and some millet. In
dairylng one needs to grow oil the silage
and succulent feed possible. And silo
is necessary. Although our herd is oil
ont to pasture we are graining some and
shall throughout the summer. Until
recently the feed was quite good, but the
recent dry weather has affected 1t great
deal, and the bay crop will also be a
short one.
"Our only hope this year 10 In what
fruit we grow" said Mr.. Dunn, referring
to bis orchard, which 10 one OF the best
In that vicinity. Over 26 acres we're set
by Mr.. Dunn. The trees bloomed heav
lily this spring, and many years. labor has
now brought them up to good stage OF
bearing. and he is now looking for big
crop this year. His greatest harvest 80
far has been 1900 barrels, and he is ex
pecting more than that this year.
Spraying at least four times Is prac'
ticed, and the orchard is being cultivated
with tractor. "There is nothing better
on q farm than good orchard" says
Mr.. Dunn, "and I believe that anyone
who has one this year should look after
1t especially we'll, as the market in that
line looks better than 1t does In other
ways. Barring hail storms and too much
dry weather. the Maine crop In general
looks good.''
Varieties raised by Mr.. Dunn include
Bald wins, Ben Davis and Starks. Last
year an exceptionally good market was
found ut the Buckfield canning factory,
where the various grades and varieties
were sold in bulk form. This saved oil
packing operations, the purchase of many
barrels and the difficulty In finding q
