The Agricultural Census

On December LIST an agricultural
census for the United States will be
commenced. Enumerators have al
ready been appointed for towns in
Somerset County Roy w. Cooper of
Madison has been assigned to Starks,
Arson and Mercer
This census will go very exhaustive
ly into all phases of farm life. 1t
will show the branches of agriculture
carried on at each farm with many
other interesting particulars, the
whole idea being to mass statistics
which will be useful to the farmer
himself and in general way helpful
in settling agricultural problems.
Farmers can economic the time OF
the enumerator and their own time
by being prepared to furnish this in
formation. Sample copies of the
questionable have already. been sent
to very many farmers.

HOAORs FOR SOMERSET
At STATE MEETING
Proves that Herds Is Retailing Some
of the Best MIX Found
Anywhere

With first and second places in the
community milk contest and first in
the individual scores in the state wide

nection with the Maine Dairyman's
Association and the Maine Creamery
mems Association meetings at Lewis
ton. November IS, 10 and 20. Somerset
County has proved 10 the state that
she is retailing some OF the best milk
that can be found anywhere. When
we realize that Maine is retailing some
of the best milk in the world and that
according to an expert judge from the
United States Department of Agrieul-
ture, Skowhegan and Madison sup
plies scored first and second respec
lively Somerset County can feel
proud that it citizens are getting the
very best milk possible.
Samples were taken from four deal
ers in each town entered in the con-
test and the scores averaged. Four
teen towns sent samples but on ac
count of failure, to observe the rules,
five were thrown out. Average
scores were as follows: Skowhe-
gan 91S9, first; Madison, second, 1920;
Augusta, third. 1885, Gardiner, Bruins
wick. SacO. Camden, Bar Harbor, and
Kennebunk. A silver cup. the gift
of the Louden Machinery Company is
now being suitably engraved and
will soon be presented the town
through Mr.. Boyd.
Peter Merry's milk scored highest
among the Skowhegan dealers repre-
sented, although all samples from
Skowhegan scored high. Mr.. Merry's
milk also scored highest of all indi-
vidual samples entered in the con-
test. his score being 81. A silver
cup, given by the Grandin Milling
Company. will be presented Mr.. Merry
for winning the highest individual
score. This milk also scored the high
est of all exhibits of all classes Had
Mr.. Merry entered a sample of his
milk personally he would have taken
a twelve dollar premium offered in
another class. This premium was
taken by Karl r. Wilson of Augusta
with a score of 96.5. THIS class was
closely contested by twelve exhibitors.
The highest score made by the
Madison dealers represented was that
of " NJ. Potter whose score was $50.

One Days Work on Sixteen Mile
Road

w. r. Magoon recently marketed
two and a quarter cords of stove wood
in one day in Skowhegan. He started
from his home in Athens at a. m.
His work is done with a Ford truck.
His place is about three and one-half
miles east of Athens village on the
Corson Corner road. He comes thru
Athens village and down by Smith
Pond. He disposed of this load and
TWO more during the day. This made
90 miles of travel with sthe truck,
loading two truck loads and deliver
ing three.
In the old days when oxen were
the motive power it would have been
a mighty long day to have marketed
even one load. Mr. Magoon remem-
bers when his father, Hiram F. Ma
COON, has made this same trip with
two pair OF oxen hauling potatoes.
He probably hauled thirty-flve bush
els. To do this. he had to leave
home very early in the morning and
of course did not get home until very
late at night. He was probably gone
about Is hours The younger Ma
geon remembers his fathers speak
ing of being on Bigelow Hill manned
for the late Leander Bigelow) at sun
rise.
Later on, during the period of
horse-drawn vehicles, man could
make one turn on this road but of
course he would not have to be such
an early riser and would get to bed
earlier at night.

While a Fordson tractor has been
used very successfully for four sea-
sons, four horses are also maintained
on the farm. A Ford car is used for
driving purposes.
There are three hundred acres of
land in the farm and about one hun
dred of this is in tillage. While live
stock is the principal industry, it is
by no means the only one, as Mr..
Hilton has a goodly acreage in crops.
This past season, he has had five acres
of sweet corn, two acres of ensilage
corn for the silo, two and one-half
acres of potatoes and twelve acres of
oats He plans to plant about this
same acreage another year. The or
chard is not large but sufficient for
the needs of the family, One man is
kept on the place the year round and
with his family occupies an apart
ment in the farm house.
1t was pleasure indeed for the Re-
porter's representative to visit the
Hilton Stock Farm and inspect such a
modern farming plant The example
set by Mr. Hilton could well be a
model for the farmers of this section.

which is operated by electricity, Is
stationed close to the big cooler, while
an electric heater furnishes the hot
water for washing the milk things.
Here also is the equipment for weigh
ing the milk. sampling etc. One of
the outstanding features Of this stable
is it's unusual cleanliness. 1t is

buildings are lighted by electricity.
Mr.. Hilton has twenty o. |. c. hogs.
He is working into purebred swine,
having two purebred sows and a boar
One hundred pure blooded White Wy
andotte hens are another Interesting
branch of husbandry on the place. He
has recently disposed of the ROSTERS
of his flock by shipping them to Bos-
ton, selling them for 3S1a cents a

Sophie 10Th of Hood Farm. one of
the most outstanding dairy cows that
the world has ever known and whose
descendants are we'll known in Som
erset County, continues ever after her
death to contribute to the good of
this world. Sophie was recently dom

Bureau of Dairying to enable this de-
partment 10 make a scientific study
10 determine. if possible, the reasons
Tor her great productive and repro
duetiYe powers.
On June 18th she was chloroformed
and prepared for study and experts
at the Government Experiment Station
near Washington have since been en-
gagged in making a most careful ex-
animation of every organ of her
anatomy in an effort to ascertain the
secret of this cows great powers.
It will be interesting TO know how
various organs in Sophie's anatomy
compare with those Of the ordinary
scrub COW. No startling discoveries
are anticipated, but it is very probable
that some facts will be uncovered that
will throw light on the mysteries OF
milk seeretaion, or will help to ex
plain the relation between conforma-
ton of dairy cattle ana their produc-
ing ability.
Sophie 18th of Hood Farm is worlds
champion for life time production. all
breeds She has eleven register of
merit records in which she produced
total of 7545 pounds of butter-fat.
In addition to this she held the
worlds championship for butter-fat
production. in the Jersey breed, from
January 1914 to November 1913 with
a record of 999 pounds of butterfat
and 1887 pounds of milk in 1855 days.

HARMONY MAN FINDS
SWINE PROFITABLE
T.. Y. Hight Has the Figures and Facts
That Tell the Story

E. V Hight Of Harmony has always
claimed that hogs are good paying
property. The figures for the past
year show that he has no reason to
change his mind. From two sows he
has raised and sold 35 pigs for $117.55
His feed expenses for the two sows
was $30.62 making net profit of
$S6.93, adding to that $500 premium
money received in one SOW and pigs
at the fair, makes a good income with
very little work as none of the hogs
were fed from June until October.
From Oct. LIST up to the present time
they have lived on waste apples. If
any one thinks they are thin in flesh,
they can come and look them over.
Visitors always welcome.
