A Novel Experiment.

The Boston Journal of Commerce gives the
following interesting account of lobster farm
ON the Massachusetts coast. 1t is certainly the
newest attempt at bringing the production of
animal food under mans control:
The attempt to cultivate Holsters for the mar
ket was begun about a year ago; and though no
very great results have yet been obtained, the
experiment presents every indication OF uitl-
mate success. A space of some thirty acres OF
fats having been enclosed by an emoankment
the proprietor of che place conceived the plan
of hiring the use of the enclosed water for
lobster pond The place was originally an arm
of the sea, and had deep channel in the Gen.
tire, SO that sufficient depth OF water was secur-
ed. On building the dyke an arched way was
made in it. 20 that the tide could flow in and
out at all tipes, The opening being small the
tide only rises and falls about three feet inside
This keeps the inside water deep at all times,
and at the same time prevents it from beeom-
ing foul.
During July and August, last summer, 40
0OOlobsters, of every age and condition, were
let loose in the pond. Many of them were in
the soft she'll state, and many We're unstable
on account of lostclaw, or other mutilation.
Food, in the shape of refuse from the fish
market, was freely supplied them; and a gate
was put up at the entrance to prevent their
cape into the sea. Nothing in particular hap
pened for several months; and the enterprising
owner arranged nets for eels and other fish,
which he caught in the pond In large 9uantl-
ties during the fall and winter.
When the ice had covered the pond, holes
were cut and the lobster traps were put down.
Good, sizeable, hard-shel Holsters were at once
caught and two things were proved; hrst the
water was deep and pure enough to keep the
fish alive; and secondly, the fish were healthy,
for they had taken their hardened Shells in the
usual manner and new claws had grown in the
place of those lost. In the Spring, cells, perch,
and great many other kinds of fish were
taken from the pond in liberal quantities,
and now that the spawning season is well ad-
vanced, the farm has reached its final and most
critical stage. Some $4,000 good, marketable
Holsters have been taken out and sold. Every
one was a male fish, as the female fish were
all returned to the water for breeding purposes.
The spawn is now on its last stage and in
few weeks. if all goes WE'LL some millions of
young Holsters will swarm in the pond. The
eggs are already SO far advanced that the
young fry can be seen through the transparent
Shells and only one thing will prevent them
from coming to maturity. The question is,
can the young Holsters defend themselves from
the fish in the pond? 1t is impossible to keep
other fish out, and the Holsters must take their
chances. Everything is favorable so far. The
bottom is stony a4d gravelly. There are plen-
ty of hiding places, such as the young fish seek
to hide in, and the water is always deep and
fresh.

A DRY TIME-MPRovEMENT OF BUsINBss-A
FOURTH WITHOUT POWDER.
BANGOR, Me-, June 80, 1878.

BANGOR, Me-, June 80, 1873.
To the Editor of the Press:
The cool breezes from the snow-banks of the
northeast, which, until last week, kept the city
at low Temperature have at length been succeed
cd by term of excessive heat. Last Thursday,
the thermometer stood at "a in the shade, and
Friday, Saturday and Sunday were uncomfort-
ably hot. The effect of the hot spell upon the
vegetation is marked. Already suffering from
protracted drought, the grass within a few days
has become parched and withered, and every
species of vegetation has for weeks been at a
stand still.
Business, extraordinarily dull the first of the
season, has begun to quicken a little. There
are few sales of logs, and number of vessels
are loading with lumber. But few of the saw
mills on the Penobscot have as yet, commence
ed running. The arrival of the West Branch
drive which is expected in four or five days,
and that of the East Branch few days later
will have salutary effect on the lumber manu-
featuring interests.
The Fourth is to be celebrated in Bangor by a
procession of fantasies in the morning, mill
tary parade later in the day, regatta and dis
national salutes morning, noon and night, the
burning of gunpowder, except in certain unfre.
quented localities is tabooed by the Municipal
Government Young Bangor is naturally dis
gusted, as well as dealers in fireworks, but the
precaution is wise one in this time of drought

A MAJORITY OF the Cincinnati Board Of
Education being opposed to the use Of Bible
as text book, recently passed an order re-
peaiing the prOyisi IN Tor It's use at the OPEN
ing Of the school session. Those in favor of
the use Of the Bible tbereupon applied for an
injunction to prevent the order Of the Board
FROM being carried into effect. In due course
of time the question came before the Su-
preme Court Of Ohio which sustains the ac-
ton of the Board on the ground that the
laws OF the State vest the management of the
schools in the hands of local trustees and 9TH
er officers, and whether or not the Bible shall
be read in the school is for them TO determine.
In view of this the question will enter largely
into politics in Ohio.

MINNESOTA WHEAT CRoP.-The st. Paul
Press insists that minnesota has already ex-
ported of last years grain crop, or holds in
warehouses ready for shipment or for home
mills, more than 2S,000,OOO bushels which was
the limit of the estimates of the yield far 1879
And it adds:
GAN the elevators and warehouses tbrouo,,-
out the State are said TO be full of wheat aad
large quantities still remain unsold in the
hands of farmers. 1t VIII tax 10 their utmost
capacity all the railroads in the State, and the
steamboat interest in the bargain, TO carry to
market the amount of wheat awaiting ship
ment 10 this State before the next crop is har-
vested. The general testimony of farmers, so
far as our inquiries have extended, is that last
years crop was one Of the largest in its average
yield ever harvested, being not much, If any,
less than twenty bushels per acre over the
greater portion Of the cultivated area The
greater portion Of this magnificent crop was
harvested at good prices, or for an average Ct
. dollar busbel for much the greater part of
Il. There is every indication at present that
the crop OF this year win equal if not surpass,
that OF last year in average yield, and if this
should be the case. the much greater area

nearly 40, 000, 600 bushels"
