"We used to please ourselves, you bet, Folks took what fresh eras thev could get; ~ But now we stay up halt tbe night And lay our eggs by Maxda light This culling also I protest, I'm getting old, I want to rest; Yet D In laying I grow lax, I'll be the next to get the ax." —A. &. Mann. The Boynton Farm. The Boynton farm whlob is situated on the easterly side of the Grand Trnnk Railway at Oxford Depot is a piotnresqne piece of land, whatever else may be said about it. Tbe amount of arable land connected with It is not great, some plain· land next the railroad and tbe ralley of a amall brook running up Into tbe bills. Really tbe cultivated portions of tbe farm are not the attractive parti. Theflé are the bills covered with forest (or the most part, wblcb come to a ind ien termination on this farm. Passengers on the Grand Trunk train* sannot fall to notloe tbe end of these bills because of tbe suddenness of their boundary and the jagged faoe of tbe ter minal cliff, suggesting seismic origin, rble origin Is suggested farther by tbe 'Igantio split pieces of granite thrown oosely Into piles and leaving oavltles be neath them large enongh to form rooms, 1 )r oaves as they are more generally jailed. The topsy-turvy character of ;be leavings of an earthquake Is further 1 mggested because there are no doorways :o these rooms. Whoever enters must lo so on all fours like an animal, and a good many animals have taken the cavi· lies for homes. Became of tbe difficulties of entrance md tbe easiness of defenoe, there Is sug gested past and future romance aboni ; be cliff. There Is one cavity where a 1 nan could defend himself for an Indefl ilte period of time, if he oould only pro- , rlslon hli stronghold and introduce vater. Tbe country round abont suggests ; Scotland, and toe oame given tote pue if rocks augmente tbe suggestion— Îocky Dundee. This is one of sever·! >iles of rook· in tbe State of Maine mown by tbe same name. À young Scotchman—a boy in fact—who came to ; Yelohville some years ago to work in ' be woolen mill tbere, was homesick and 1 bis range of bills bo suggested bis na ive beatb and mountain that on tbe 1 Irst Sabbath of bis sojourn in the new | iountry he came out on tbe plain at the iase to gaze at them with tears in bis iyes and a choke in hit) voice. In faot, · t would not need a great deal of Imagl lation to convert this into a nest of ( )oones, and with tbe right personages I ί second edition of Lorna Doone might ι te enacted with an American setting. Tbere bave been tragedies about this lile of rooks but most of tbe heroes and ι Ictlms have been quadrupeds rather ban bipeds. Tbe porous character of his heap, of rocks has made it an at raotive lodging plaoe for wild animals. Lbout every burrow is furnished not on· y with a front door but one or two back loors as well; so as to make it In faot an ι mimal stronghold as it could be a human ι >ne. ι Many a fox who bad led tbe bounds i ι chase all day, oircling among and tround tbe near-by bills, homes to this I >ile of rocks at nightfall. There is a itory of an ambitious "dog" which itarted to dig out his quarry on tbe sum nit of this ledge, but after digging in a ittle way was imprisoned by a falling ι ■ook. This buttress of rock bas not much to lo with farming but la an incidental part )f a farm, and interesting because it is ι noidental and unusual. If tbere is any plan to tbe universe this may have been thrown in to break up tbe monotony of the landscape and of agriculture. This farm and mountainous parcel of land was owned and occupied for many pears by Robert T. Boynton, and Is now owned by bis beirs. Beside being a Farmer be was agent for tbe Qrand Trunk Railway. Be bad several boys, all of whom have been connected with tbe road, although none of them live in Oxford. Prof. Corbett S pea les. In speaking before tbe East Oxford Dairy Testing Association at East Sum ner, Prof. L. S. Corbett, bead of tbe department of Animal Industry, Univer sity of Maine, covered many pointa of vital interest to dairymen. '•The teeter," said Prof. Corbett, "can be of dlreot help to tbe members by giv ing information gained from observation of tbe practices of various farmers with respect to care and feeding of the ani mals. The biggest thing to be gotten, however, is the reoorJa. Through these tbe members oan observe tbe differences in production of tbe Individuals and thereby eliminate tbe unprofitable ones. "Our oowa should be tbe means for selling tbe feed we give tbem. Use tbe records to tell wbloh cows sell onr feed at tbe greatest profit to na. Why keep an animal not bringing a profit? Here it a market that tbe farmers bave con trol over. It takes time to get a high produoing herd, but it can be done." Calling attention to tbe summary of the reoords for tbe first three months period, Prof. Corbett pointed to two herds of tbe same breed. The average production of tbe cows of one of the herds was valued at 187.00 more than tbe other, due either to better feeding, bet ter animals, or both. While touoblng upon rations It was brought oat that It would pay a farmer to mix bis own ration·, even though the saving might not be oyer twenty cents a hundred. In moat casee the saving amounts to about fifty cents. "The first thing in baying any feed is to consider tbe analysis," said Prof. Cor· bett. "The higher tbe fibre oontent the less digestible Is tbe feed. Try to bay a feed with a fibre oontent as low as 10 per oent. Some bave given preference to · lighter colored feed thinking it was bet ter. Take, for instanoe, hominy. There ia tbe white hominy made from white corn and the yellow made from yellow corn. The white costs two dollars more a hundred, bat is no better for feeding than tbe yellow. MA lot of attention has been recently given to molaaaee for feeding. Thla la a straight oarbohydrate feed which is to be compared with ooro. It has been said that tbe fat oontent in milk might be raised by feeding molasses. I bave bad obarge of exhaustive tests In feeding molasses to oows, and I know that thla is not trae." Among several questions answered for the members .were tbe following: How roach more valuable la oorn with ears than without ears for silage? What I· tbe comparative value of millet for silage? What la the beat feed to supple· ment pasture? In answering the first, Prof. Corbett stated that the oorn with ears waa much more valuable beoause more milk oonld be seoared and less grain needed to be fed to oows baring this kind of silage. Tbe eorn being reoommended by the Farm Bureau has the advantage of both ear produoUon and heavy yielding quail·' tlea. "The beet allege now known la oorn, and sunflower probably comes next with I millet third In order for thla state. The I summer alio with good silage le the beat souroe of feed to supplement pasture.1' Pointing out the value of continuing oow test asaoolatlon work, Prof. Corbet! . olted the faot that Wlsoonsin, the big g est dairy state In the union and tbi ι first to atart tbeae associations, now bai ι 103 and tbey have been Inoreasing slnoi 1006, when tbe first ones trere organised ι There are now 468 In tbe United 8tatee i Herbert L.

All beekeepers are cordially nvited to attend. A great interest bas been shown in >eekeeping tbe past sommer. Tbe Maine Department of Agricalture bas shown wo large out of tbe state exhibits tbe )ast season. State Apiarist Frank H. Dudley has appointed Lester W. Longfellow, Hal owell, and George Townsend, Bangor, ipiary inspectors. Several colonies of >ees bave been found to oontain Ameri ■ * d and European fouibrood. A oomplete report of tbe activities of :Me association and state apiarist will be made later. Spud Picking Record. Steve Osnoe of Benedicts, working for W. E. DeWItt of Ludlow, has bung np what, is claimed to be tbe record in po tato picking thus far tbis season. Start ing Monday, be picked up 100 barrels a day for four consecutive days. On Fri day, according to Mr. DeWitt, he picked 152 barrels, beginning at 7 A. M. and ending at θ P. M. In performing tbl| feat, Mr. DeWitt states that Osnoe set bis own barrels and dumped bis own baskets. Mr. DeWitt stated that wBiie 152 barrels is not the record thus far for all time, tbe figure being somewhere in tbe neighborhood of 164, be is quite will ing to back Osnoe in a potato picking content with any man in tbe county. Osuoe, in banging up this season's rec oru, made no lesa tban 86,000 motions. Tbe amount of physical energy expended may be better appreciated wben it is pointed out that if tbe momentum devel oped during these motions were concen trated in one movement and against one point it would start three mountain climbing looomotlve*, each of 126 tons dead weight, from a dead stand, at least that's bow a local expert In figures estl mntna It. Pure-bred Cattle. Figures from the 1920 oensus of agri culture recently compiled and issued by the census bureau show 1,981,514 pure bred cattle in the United States on Janu ary 1, 1920, wbioh included 1,004,912 of beef breeds and 916,602 of dairy breeds. Pure-bred beeves were distributed among the several breeds as follows: Aberdeen Angus, 108,524; Devon, 1,194; Galloway, 6,920; Hereford, 405,580; Polled Dur ham, 61,755; Shorthorn, 416,955; all oth ers including animals reported as pure bred with breed not specified, 63,944. Of the 916,602 dairy cattle pure bred 30,494 were Ayrabire; Brown Swiss, 8,130; Guernsey, 79,445; Holstein Friesiao, 528, 621; Jersey, 231,834; others not specified numbering 38,078. Statistics show that among the beef breeds the most important were the Shorthorns and the Herefords. With dairy breeds tbe Jersey is more widely distributed perhaps than any of the oth ers, especially In the southern states. The entire cumber of pure-bred cattle reported for 1920, 1,981,514, constituted three per cent of the 66,652,169 on farms in the United States on tbe date of census. A Valuable Calf. On Thursday, Oot. 20, one of the most important events In the dairy oattle world ot Maine occurred when the noted heifer, Belle Colantba Wayne Segis, pur chased by tbe Tborsen Farms from the Carnation Stook Farms of Seattle, Wash., for one of tbe highest prices ever paid for an animal coming Into Maine, gave birth to a heifer calf. Tbe father of this oalf was Carnation King Sylvia, who sold for 1106,000, and waa tbe world's highest priced boll. This is the only progeny of Carnation King Sylvia in the eastern part of the United States, and is one of the most valuable oalves ever born In tbe New England states. The Carna tion Farms a short time ago lost tbe noted sire of this oalf, and are In the market to boy baok all bis progeny. Mr, Tborsen has received very handsome of fers from them, as well aa from othei parties, for the oalf, but has decided tc keep (be animal, wbioh will be named Tbornsen Farms Carnation Sylvia, foi one of tbe foundation animals In bit herd of Holsteins, wbioh Is already rec ogniaed as one of the finest In tbe East For every dollar's worth of bonej wbioh bees bring to tbeir owner·, it ii safe to say that tbey bring 915 In in creased apple oropa to the owners of or obards.

Tuesday was a day largely devoted to oonteated divorcee and oroea libel·, wblch were beard by tbe court, the jury having DOtbing to do for the day. Ope of tbe flrat oaaes beard was tbat of Wll· Ham G. Jaokaon va. Florence I. Jaokaoo, tbe partlea being domiciled in Fryebnrg. Coombs <& Gould of Portland appeared for Mr. Jaokaon, tbe libelant, Β. B. Hastings of Fryebnrg for Mrs. Jaokaon. Tbe allegation waa desertion. It ap peared tbat qaito a number of yeara ago Mr. Jaokaon, wbo ia a musician, secured a position witb aome traveling oompany, and left Fryebnrg and baa never been back there to atay, though be baa sent hie wife money regularly. It waa also evident from lettera and other ovldence tbat the parties were not anzloua to live together. After hearing the libelants evidence, Judge Dunn promptly decided that if there bad been a desertion it was not on tbe part of the wife, and denied tbe divorce. A. matter in whiob there were cro*· libels waa tbat of Clara Noble Barton and George J. Barton. Alton C. Wheel er for Mra. Barton, Jacob H. Berman of Portland for Mr. Barton. Mrs. Barton'* libel, brought in this court, alleged cruel und abusive treatment, and Mr. Barton'a libel, brought In the Cumberland Supe rior Court, alleged adultery, tbe co respondent named being Bion M.

Barton went to help In tbe housework at Mr. Greely'a. Conditions in the Greely household, as obaerved during auch time ta they were there, were teatifled to by Mr. Greely'a mother and two of bia laughters. Mra.

Various acts of nndue familiarity between Mr. Greely «du mm. uatvuu woio * dh»»cu wj vue witnesses. It also appeared that at one time Mrs. Barton accompanied Mr. Qree· ly on a three day·1 automobile trip loto Massachusetts and New Hampshire, and Mr. Greely, oalled to the witness stand, «aid that they stayed the three nights in three different towns, securing lodging· at houses where there were rooms to let, and occupying eometimes rooms oo sep arate floors, and sometimes adjoining rooms. After bearing the evidence Jcdge Dunn immediately denied Mrs. Barton'i libel. The libel of Mr. Barton will be disposed of later in the Cumberland Superior Court where it was brought. Also in the Ellsworth matter there were cross libels. Samuel L! Ellsworth, libelant, vs. Helen S. Ellsworth, brought in this county, is ao action alleging de sertion.

The couple lived for some years in Oxford village. The; have one daughter who is married, and a minor son.

Tb< evidence was plainly not convincing t( Judge Dunn, who Inquired when tb< case was rested, "Well, what have yot shown that indicates cruel and abuslvi treatment?" The bant for testimony was then resumed, witnesses were sum moned who were in other parts of tbi court bouee, and the bearing developec into a aort of free informality, in wbicl at times the oourt, one lawyer and a least one witness were talking at tbi same time.
