On Trail Black
Hand Letter Writer

Madison, Me, April 21.--At the pres
cnt time there seems to be a good
prospect that the writer of the black
hand letter published last Saturday
evening viii, soon be located. 1t is
thought to be the work of a mentally
deranged person formerly a resident
of tthis vicinity. This person a few
months ago took an unreasonable and
violent dislike to DIR. w. G. Sawyer
and since leaving town has written
him several strong letters 1t is
known that the person in question mas
been in Waterville greater part of
the winter. Samples of the letters
sent to DIR. Sawyer compared with the
black hand letter show many points
of resemblance in the writing although
the black hand letter is evidently
written in a disguised hand Friends
in this community of the person under
suspicion detect several familiar ex-
pressions in the letter. This person is
former school teacher and well edu-
Gated. The information has been plac-
ed in the hands of the proper authori-
ties and is to be sifted thoroughly.

Power of Poiae.

Poise is power. The man who Is not master of himself under all condi- tions cannot feel the assurance, the power, which is the right of every hu- man being to experience. He Is never sure of himself, and the man who is never sure of himself is never wholly at ease. He is not even well-bred, for good breeding implies self-control un- der all circumstances.
 There is, perhaps, no other thing which is so conducive to ones physical and mental comfort, efficiency, happi- ness and success as a calm mind When the mind Is unbalanced, by anger, ex- citement, worry, fear or nervousness, the entire body is thrown out of har- mony. All the functions are deranged 1; the man or woman is not normal, and is, therefore, whatever the situation. at a complete disadvantage, wholly un- able to contend with it.-Orison Swett Marden in the New Success Magazine.

! I'VE STOCK
DEPLETION OF RANGE GRASS Injury Caused by Premature Grazing and Lack of Utilization of
 Forage Crop.

Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture)
 Range depletion is due in a large measure to premature grazing and to lack of uniform utilization of the for age crop, investigations now being car ried on at the Great Basin experiment station by grazing specialists in the forest service of the United States De- partment of Agriculture show. These experiments, which have been con- ducted over a fOur-year period, have been for the purpose of ascertaining just how certain range bunch grasses are affected by different systems of grazing.
 It was found that the yield of violet wheat grass when removed by cutting once in season, at the time the seed crop matured, was four and uwo- tenths times as large as when it was removed four times in a season and three and eight-tenths times as large as when herbage was removed twice in the season.
 Native brOme grass, on the other hand, yielded six times as much when harvested twice during the season. but the yield from one cutting was three and three -tenths times as much as when it was removed four times. This means in range revegetation that the grass native there must be taken into consideration and a system of grazing used that is suitable to it.
 The experiments also showed the striking difference in water content in herbage as the season advances. In the leafage of the violet wheat grass harvested once in season, just before seed maturity, the water content aver aged fl per cent. Plants grazed twice, late ill the season, contained an aver age moisture content of 51 per cent, while plants cropped four times in a season contained an average of 79 per cent of water. Early in the spring the young leafage may contain as much as S5 per cent of water. This
