The Maine Department Of Agri-
culture, occupied one entire side of
the Maine building, and it's motto
was, The self sustaining farm. The
first section contained the different
grasses and grains of the State, both
in sheaves and threshed grain. The
threshed grains coming down a
conveyer, which ended at the barn
shown in the picture. The IDEA be-
ing that the farm was the factory
which manufactured the raw ma
terials into the finished products or
as nearly so as possible. and sent it
on down the highway shown in the
picture, by team and truck to the
Creamery and r. r. Station, and
then on to feed the world.
One thing that attracted a great
deal of attention was the highway
from the farm to the town. over
which the teams and autos We're
continuously passing, and coming to
the creamery. stopping before the
door, for a short time. and then
turning around and returning to the
farm.
All the buildings shown here eX-
cepting two were copied from build
ings in Winthrop, and while they
are not arranged as they are in that
town, most of them would be recog-
nized by people who are familiar
with that place.
Back of the Creamery building
may be seen the r. r. Station, and
the train which is just in. This
train departed and returned to
town at regular intervals, (when
there was not an accident. which
was not infrequenD.
Back of the town was u painting
Is TT. by IT. representing the coun-
try side which made a background
for the scene, and made the whole
picture look very real.
Next to this scene came an eX-
hibit of Maine seed potatoes, then
followed in order. maine apples,
Maine eggs, boys and girls'-can-
ned goods, Maine dairy products.
and last but not least the products
of the Maine Sheep and Wool As
sociation.
There was a supply of very at
tractive literature describing the
agricultural and recreational inter-
ests of the State.
We feel sure that if half of this
descriptive matter We're read, some
folks have a wider and more intel
ligent conception of the Old Pine
Tree State than ever before"

ing the soil stirred and with It you
can reach we'll into beds. The small
Ter, clawed cultivators are excellent
for working at closer quarters among
smaller plants.
The dibber is almost Indispensable
for making the holes to transplant
and speeds up the work remarkably.
1t will also come into play in the
fall for bulb planting. One stab Of
the dtbber makes the hole for the
little plant, another movement Of the
hand firms the soil around 1t and
transplanting is made easy.
One of the novelties in garden ac-
cessories which has become popular
during the last two years Is the hand
seeder, a little apparatus into which
the seed Is poured which enables an
easy distribution without the risk of
splitting 1t all in one place that is al

There Is q vast difference between
high production and phenomenal lay
ing. A hen that lays 200 eggs IL a
high producer; one that lays 800 eggs
10 a phenomenal layer. It might be
modified that by saying. q hen that
lays from $50 to zoo eggs IL q high
producer, and anything over that is
phenomenal work, the higher 1t is tie
harder is the strain upon the hen.
High producers can still maintain
good health. Phenomenal layers, on
the other hand, are high power lay
ers, and a break may be looked for Of
some kind sooner or later. 1t is high
speed that is full Of danger. aa
All things being equal, the eggs
from the 15o-egg hen are more fertile
and hatch stronger chicks, than those
of the 200-egg hen.
Vigor and fecundity are twin quail
ties. The very foundation for heavy
egg production is vigor and stamina.
Without them there can be no eggs.
The fact that flock Of hens are
heavy layers, IL good evidence that
they are full Of vigor. But it does
not necessarily follow that because
hens are vigorous and healthy they
are extraordinary layers. Not every
vigorous hen possesses the qualities
of fecundity, but every hen possessing
the qualities Of fecundity is vigorous
and healthy. -"
While 1t requires more physical
vigor for a hen to lay 200 eggs in a.
year, than for the same hen to lay-d
less amount, in the same time, Nature
supplies that hen with the necessary
additional vigor and vitality. AS a
rule, the hen that lays the most eggs
is the most robust looking hen in the
flock, and the most active.
A heavy layer requires more food
than a moderate layer, or one that
does not lay at all, for, In addition
to supplying the needs of her body.
she must have sufficient food to form
the eggs she lays.
Breeding has more to do with vigor
and vitality than has feed. Unless
the offspring are from vigorous an
cestors, and have good, rich, red
blood coursing through their veins,
vigorous hens will be the exception
rather than the rule. While food
and exercise and proper care IN
crease and intensity the vigor and
stamina of a flock, these latter quail
| ties must be inherent with the stock
to a great degree.
The natural tendency of heavy egg
production is the Strengthening of the
reproducing organs of the hen. pro-
viding, of course, she is properly fed
and cared for. so that these organs
may be properly nourished. Nature
looks after the needs of all animals
the same as she does the needs of
man, and she does not overlook the
humble hen, but strengthens her &C
cording to her needs.

standing near that wire with their
hands on it. And discussing the won
ders Bill had wrought with his gas
machine. Slyly Bill put a wire from
the one terminal of the dynamo to the
wire fence from the other he attaches
another wire being careful to keep it
from the ground. The grin on his
face getting stronger all the time,
watching his chance Bill saw that the
old fellows were pretty well lined up
he quickly put the wire in his hand to
the ground, there were yells cusses
and war whoops and such contortions
you never saw before from body of
sedate respectable and honorable cit
liens, such as was in Cooke City at
that time. Some got away in the wild
scramble and cursed and glared at
Bill and threatened to do Bill and his
devil machine. Bill quickly withdrew
the ground wire and in an astoninshed
and injured tone asked them what all
the fuss was about, he did not do any,
thing to them to hurt their feelings
and if that was common disease
among them he did not want to stay
in the town. After much doubling and
rubbing of hands and fingers and side
glances at the machine good humor
reigned again. Bill said now he would
cap the climax by taking the old peo-
pie for a ride. So all the old men and
women were invited to take a ride in
the auto truck. The mountains re-
sounded with their merry making and
laughter. The young folks also came
in for their share of the jollification.
1t was seen that Bill was quite hero
in the eyes of the young maidens who
also rode with him and no doubt in
after years Bill fell captive to some
shy maiden's charms feeling that his
advent in Cooke City was a success
from several standpoints. Many days
after these events this truck was used
to repair the trail over which it and
others of is kind were to run in haul
ing ore to Gardiner. The next day
after Bills entrance into town there
came up this trail another machine
but it was built like grey hound,
sleek and polished it glistened in the
sun, thing of life and quick in ac-

The Auto Truck in Camp

The Auto Truck in Camp
A new event took place. The old
trail became highway of great inter
est. The mining industry made new
demands. Progress created new con-
ditions and the old trail which had
been trod by the older men whose
names had now gone down in history
must now carry over it new creature
of mans brain. The stiffness of ma
ture is broken by the sharp exhaust
of the gasoline machine. The automo-
bile and the auto truck, it's course has
been changed to suit the demands of
better grades that less power shall be
consumed to do a certain amount of
work or haul given ton Of ore. The
old Republic lode had again proved it's
worth and was now owned by the Buff
falo-Montana Co. 1t was due to the
owners who desired to take their ores
down the trail to the railroad at Gard
lner that the auto truck and automo-
bile came into camp. Great was the
excitement when the first machine
came into camp. He who had looked
for the railroad saw a creature of
steel but not to run on a rail. It had
four wheels with large rubber tires,
a grey steel body and cab was on the
front end; in this sat man who held
wheel in his hands and it was by
this that he guided the machine along
the trail. Various levers were at his
command by which he could make it
go ahead or backward as he desired.
There were guages on the dash in
front of the man who ran the machine.
The purring Of engines could be heard
to come from under the casing in the
front. There was two bulls eye lamps
in front with large search light in
the dash. Surely this would be glar-
ing demon to meet on the trail at
night and if some of those old fellows
who had gone over the divide had met
this creature on the trail and had been
unaware of it's nature surely they
would have thought the devil was out
looking over his own creation, as the
great wonders in the National Park
are mostly attributed to his Satanic
majesty.
AS the auto truck came farther up
the trail into town here and there
could be seen heads Of grey peeping
around a corner or just inside door.
To them it was a mystery and some
thing not to approach too quickly lest
