Last evening Sheriff Pome roy took the child to Portland, where she will stay and grow up to woman hood in the institution that the State has provided for such cases. The matter was presented to Judge Trenchard yesterday by Mrs. Amanda Larsen and Mrs. Mathilda Hillstron, who reside in Uniontown. According to the story told by Mrs. Larsen, with whom the child has been living and her story was amply corroborated by others whom the probate judge inter viewed before sending the- little girl away the father deserted his wife and infant daughter about a year ago. He made a living here by fishing. Re cently the mother, Mary Niemie, placed her daughter in the care of Mrs. Larsen, agreeing to pay her a monthly stipend for the care of the child. Then Mrs. Niemie went away, and it is alleged that she is now lead ing a life of shame in Aberdeen. She failed to pay anything for the care of her little girl and Mrs. Larsen, who has children of her own, and is a hard working woman, could not sup port the little one. Such appeared to be the facts in the case, and opparent ly there was nothing to do but send her to the public institution. The girl is a bright looking child, and though sheftalks no English, is ready and quick. Judge Trenchard said yesterday that there are altogether too many cases of abandonment of children among some of the foreigners. "The better class among the for .11.

Interesting History Of The Industry and The Great New Power. . Standing in the United States to day are a great many buildings, in a oerfect state of preservation, built long before Benjamin Franklin tested the lightning in the clouds and proph esied the power of electricity. The heavy frames of these ancient build ings were hewn from the logs by hand, and the marks of the carpenter's broad-axe can still be seen on the time-stained timbers. The earliest method of obtaining boards was by whipsawing them from the log by hand. In this process the log was squared with the broad-axe, the edges of the timber were marked for the thickness of the board desired and two men, at opposite ends of a lure rin-iw. strioDed off the board.

During tlie tnirtccnm cent ury nn effort was made to drive saw mills by wind-power,' but it resulted in a total failure or want of sufficient energy ... :n ....t inc nrsi uiwuuii nmvu.. m m . I United States was constructed in 1634 at the Piscataqua Falls, in the statehbtsed because w.th he mnch nc of Maine. This mill was very crude, but it did the work of half a dozen men. A larg rip-saw moved up and down at the rate of 120 times a minute driven by water power, and the logs were carried end first against the saw on a simple carriage. The saw was kept in line by sliding blocks in a solid frame, The mill was very crude, only producing about 500 feet of lum ber a day, but it was beter than sawing boards by hand. Duplicates of this mill sprang up all over the colonies, and soon the noise of the sawmill was beard throughout the land, For tlo most part they were all constructed like the first until some ingenious Yankee . discovered that he could combine two rip-saws in the same frame about an inch apart and saw off two boards at once. Wiht this improvement the "gang saws" came into being and doubled the product of the mills which, be cause they produced so little lumber in a day's work, were taxed to the ut most of their capacity. Little, if any further improvements were inaugurated in sawmill work until the middle of the nineteenth century when the circular saw was in vented. Immediately the lumber business was revolutionized and the cost of producing lumber dropped off fully half. The circular saw ripped up the ljgs with astonishing speed, doubling and quadrupling the output of the mills. Up in 1835 water-power was almost exclusively used in sawmill work. That year the first stream mill was equipped, and as the forests disap peared before the sawmills and the water-power became less and less, the .nnwrr iifr:iTne it's ami cs. mc I began to adopt steam-power' nuns oegan 10 auopi Mcam-powcr :i ,,., as uuwi iicaiij w.i-iT vfi.v. w. ........ - - . . 1 running by steam. Only about a score of years ago the , .nny.(., to sawmill work. The band-saw was known be fore the circular saw, but is was diffi cult to manufacture these saws large enough and with enough stability to withstand the severe strains of saw mill work. Just as the circular saw had relegated the up-and-down saw to the scrap-heap so the band-saw re placed the buzz-saw. With the thin band-saw moving with lightning rap idity the sawing of a log was a mat ter of a very few minutes, and the out put" of the mill was again doubled. The next noteworthy improvement was the adoption of electric drive. There is probably no industry in which the power demands are more exacting, for the power required in sawmills varies not only with the kind of timber handled, but also upon its condition when passing through the mill. Steam engines with their boiler fur naces are extremely dangerous around sawmills where everything is covered with splinters, sawdust and wood-dust so dry it ignites almost as easily as eun-powder. The first types of elec tric motors were also dangerous, be cause 'as soon as they began to take on a bit of overload they began to souttcr and spark. But' within the past few years the induction, or alter nating current motor has been per-; fected which is now extensively used to drive sawmill machinery. This new motor is so simple it consists of practically three pieces, like a shaft suspended between two hangers, and it will not spark. The number of sawmills equipped with electricity in this country and Canada almost equals those equipped with steam-power. At Bogalusa, Louisiana, the largest sawmill in the world has just been completed which was entirely equipped with electricity by the General Electric Company. The machinery in this modern mill is all driven by direct-connected induc tion motor- doing away with all belts and shafting; the mill and yards are lighted with electricity so the work can continue night and day. In the Northwest several portable electric sawmills are in operation. The electricity is secured from water-power and cabled to the mill by overhead transmission. As the timber is cut the mill is moved further in the for ests by adding -a few more rods of transmission wire. One of the strongest arguments in favor of steam is that the waste and refuse of the mill can be burned un der the boilers. Several of the electrically-equipped miljs utilize the waste in this same way, and the steam produced is used to drive turb!ne-gen-erators and the machinery is driven by electricity. The United States census shows that in 1900 30,0(30,000,000 feet of lum- hpr were cut in this country. Not only are a large number of the saw- mills, which produce this enormous amount of lumber? equipped with electric power and light, but most of the. wood-working plants throughout the country ;ire driven by electric .h-lnower. In the wood-working indu . . .-I-?..

' ' ' ' PROFITABLE AGE OF FOWLS. The question as to which is the most t m'I '.table breed of 1 nvls, is very ircp'ii!i;.v asked. Thcc arc un-(h-ii.NVIy dittererccs in breeds In t undue importance should no: be plac ed u,r n breed. The trap nos; has how tha there is more difference in individuals than in breeds. Breed isn't everything. We must get away from that idea in poultry-keeping. If a man starts in the poultry business with "the best breed , as he believes, and has with it the notion that breed is everything hc will meet with inevit able failure. The breed may be all riuht but the fowls must be encourag ed to do their best by good care and management. When eggs are firm at 40 cents a dozen and the hens fail to respond the owner is likely to be come unreasonable and take up with another breed, and most likely the fault was not in the breed. 1 he fault is usually one of two things: either the hens are of a poor or non-produc tive strain of the breed, or the man agement is poor. It is a point in management that I wish to speak of here, one point in many that must be taken into account if poultry-keeping is to be made a success. It is a Question of the most profitable age of the hen. Poultrymen who have kept in touch with poultry investigations during the past few years are pretty well informed . on his point, but the importance of this - is not generally appreciat - , - - , ed- The writer carried on for several .... . . years at the Utah experiment Station ' ,. . . ' . . . ... I a line of experiments with the object of determining the value of the hen at -different ages for egg production. The same hens were kept year after year under similar conditions and a record kept of production and t tood consumed, i nese experi ments proved that the hen is different from the cow which retains or im proves her productivity with age. The first year was the most profitable, and there was a gradual decrease in pro ductiveness each succeeding ye'ar. It is safe to figure this decrease at 25 per cent, each year. With average prices for food and for eggs it is not profitable to keep hens after they have finished their second year of laying. The first, or pullet year is very profitable, the second will give a satisfactory profit, but during the third year the egg yield will seldom pay for tthe food consumed. These conclusions apply only of course where the eggs are sold at mar ket prices. Fowls that have a special value as breeding stock should be kept Ionizer, but the notion that "the old speckled hen" is the good layer should not be cherished unless she is caught in the trap nest. The fact that he sings a joyful lay, paints her comb i brillian read and scratches a vig orous scratch should not be accepted as sufficient grounds for commuting sentence. It is safe to say that the poultry keepers of this State would be many thousand of dollars in the pocket by rigorously killing off the hens every two years and replacing them with new stock with the exceptions noted above. Where the pullets and hens arc al lowed to run together it will be nec essarv to mark them, otherwise it will be difficult to separate the old stock from the young when it is de sired to market them. The usual method of marking is to punch a hole in the web between the toes when the chicks are hatched. This is easily and quickly done with a punch which may be purchased from the poultry supply houses for 25 cents. A num ber of different markings may be made in this way. Where the practice is to dispose of the hens every two years it will be sufficient to mark them every other y.ear Curinn a Fish.
