Board Of Agriculture.
Nineteenth Report ofthe Secret AIRY.

From the report of Secretary Boardman Of
the year the state and local agricultural soce-
ties and farmers clubs have held most success
full exhibitions. The Secretary is in correspon-
dence with 80 farmers clubs, large, number
of which hold annual exhibitions and regul ar
meetings for discussions OF the 81 cheese
factory companies incorporated by the Legisla-
ture in 1874, less than oDe-half went into oper-
alton; making, with the "a in operation in
1873, total of Sc which were in operation dur
ing the past season. In February State
Dairymen's Association was formed, to foster
one of the leading branches of agriculture in
the state. The State College is doing its work
well and wisely The Secretary spent two
weeks in August last in inspecting the estab-
lshments along the coast for the manufacture
of menhaden oil. Commencing his nvestiga-
tons at Boothbay and Bristol, they were ex-
tended eastward to Lubec and PASSPORT, where
the herring is the fish most largely used for
oil. the residue of which is used to some extent
as feed for sheep and poultry. In Boothbay
there are five companies engaged in this BUSH
ness, while in Sedgwick, Biuehill, Surry, &c,
are namber of companies doing a smaller
amount of business. During the past season
the Bristol companies made 381 900 bbls of oil,
and the Boothbay companies 74,O00-total
555, 900 bbs. From this 1880 tons of scrap
were made, bringing 81 per ton at the works,
giving o revenue of 5000, 800; the total product
from both items being 1851 ,475 for the year.
The scrap is used in the manufacture of super
phosphate. and is also used as a provender for
sheep The full results of Mr.. Boardman's in
designations on this interesting subject will be
made in the next annual report.
The year has been one of general prosperity
among farmers; good crops were harvested and
the farm stock iDcreased it is safe to say that
from so to Is per cent more stock is now kept
by our farmers than in 1872 There has also
been large increase in sheep, COWS aud young
cattle.
The Secretary embraces in his report an able
and pains-taking article on the early importa-
tons of cattle into New England. As early as
1871, cattle were imported from England by
Maine farmers. and as late as 1886 Maine farm
ers sent breeding animals of thoroughbred stock
to Vermont, Massachusetts,. New York, and
even to Ohio.

KNOX COUNTY.

The story is going the rounds of the press
that Wagner expressed q strong desire, the day
before the execution, to see the governor and
council; and claimed that he could satisfy
them that the verdict of the jury in his case
was wrong. Perhaps it may relieve some
minds to know that the governor and council
have seen Wagner and converSed with him
several times, and have patiently listened to
his story, and have even gone to Portsmouth
and examined the localities and interviewed
the leading witnesses, and they saw and heard
nothing calculated to create the impression
that the verdict of guilty was -[Lewis-

THE MUsEUM.-The "Sea of lee drew but a
small house at the Museum last evening, prob
ably because of so many other entertainments
in town. 1t is safe to say that there will be
larger house tonight, for the play gives occas-
ion for some startling scenic effects. Among
these may be mentioned the deck of the IRA
MIA, the sea of ice illuminated by the flashes
of the aurora bOrealis, the breaking up of the
ice, and the coast of Mexico with its tropical
scenery. 1t Is but credit to Mr.. Richards to
say that he has presented finer scenery than
was ever before exhibited in Portland.
The story is extravaganza beyond compare.
and more improbable evan than the little stor-
les with which Scheberazade beguiles the Sui
tan of the Indies. There is not much chance
for acting of the first order; hut Mr.. Arnold
acquitted himself admirably, add Miss Came
ron played her rather disagreeabe role with
great credit to herself. Mr. Calder as Barabas,
was very amusing.

A HEAVY FAILURE.-Eary yesterday morn
ing the firm of j. Winslow Jones were sued
and the property of the firm attached by U. III.
Dudley & Co., of New York, for the sum of
$125,0O0 to secure an Indebtedness for $4,000
incurred under a contract entered into by Mr..
Jones and Dudley & Co, about two years ago,
by which the latter were to sell The canned
goods prepared by Jones. Mr. Jones sailed
for Europe on the oath of January having set
tied with Dudley & Co., few days before his
departure, giving note for the balance due.
Mr.. Jones' trip was made partly for the pur-
pose of increasing his lobster business. Mr.
Jones entire liabilities are about 100000. The
cash value of his assets cannot be accurately
estimated, as his property is mostly in lands
and buildings, used in the canned goods busi-
ness, and is much scattered. Mr.. Jones, who
is in London, has been summoned home by
cable despatch.
