Crop Reports.

The Maine Farmer, in giving to its readers
today its annual early summer crop reports,
will make the following comments:
The full reports given in our paper, this
week compiled by our large and intelligent
corps of correspondents, scattered throughout
the length and breadth of the State,
will give our readers clear and compre
hensve view of the present condition and
prospects of the crops The hay crop
easily maintains its lead; grass had a good
start in the early spring, but the lack of rain
retarded its growth, and unless we have
copious rains at once, the hay crop will not
be above the average. In many level places
the grass was badly winter-killed, the ice
formation doing the business. "Old fields
look badly" say some of the correspondents.
And why shouldn't the old and worn
out fields look badly? The hand of
industry and the work of the fertilizer, well
applied, will make them bud and blossom
as the rose" Raising corn for the corn
canning factories has become popular and
profitable industry. larger breadth of
good, old fashioned. substani al yellow corn
is being put in. Apple trees blossomed well,
but the fruit has not set as well as might be
expected, though fair fruit crop is prom
ised. The area of grain is large, as
much land designed for hoed crops,
OF account of the lateness of the sea-
son (about two weeks behind last year, was
! hid down to grain. About the usual acreage
| is devoted TO potatoes. The pastures are
| green, and focks went to them in splendid
condition. The butter factories are doing a
| fine business, and in those localities
where they are not yet established.
active efforts are being made to
secure their benefits. All of our CORES
pondents agree in the statement that the use
of commercial fertilizers is on the increase
and farmers are more than ever ready to ac-
knowledge their advantage. We need moi
ask our readers to read carefully the inter
esting and suggestive letters of our CORE
spondents, for we know they will do so; and
/ from their consideration they will come to
the same conclusion that we have-that the
agricultural population of Maine may bt
reckoned among our most prosperous ant
contented people"

A FISH STORY
Which a journal Man Heard From
Reliable Source.

A Journal correspondent v no is sojourning
"Since the episode of Jonah and the whale,
fish stories have been answerable for large
majority of the lies registered against the
world for judgment. Even after this lapse
of time true fish story is at a premium.
The following, if not so miraculous as that of
Jonah is at least remarkable. | vouch for its
truth and not being fisherman, my word
may therefore gain some credence.
The mate of bark sailing from Boston to
a port in Virginia. while lying at the wharf
of the latter place, made the acquaintance of
an old negro named Pete, who gained a
meagre living by fishing along the bank. The
two soon became fast friends, and the negro
always addressed the other as 'Massa mate.
One day the old negro came to the mate in
a state of great mental excitement, and tell
ing him that he had caught remarkable fish
and desired the mate to follow him. He led
the way some distance along the bank, and
then pointing to catfish some eighteen inches
long, exclaimed, Look dab"
CHANGING at the fish, the mate said, What
of that?'
Now look at dis said the negro, display
ing in his hand fine gold watch; dis yer
came out o dat fish
To make the story short, old Pete had
caught the fish, and noticing bunch in its
side, had cut it open, and found the watch in
its stomach. The watch was in good condi-
ton, still going, and keeping the correct time
thus showing that it had but recently come
in possession of the fish. In those days it
was the custom to register the number and
description of valuable watches.
The mate advised the negro to noise around
that he had found watch, and would likely,
in that way, ere long hear from the rightful
owner. The expectation of the mate was
soon realized a claimant appearing in the
person of an occasionally inebriate sea cap
tain whose ship lay some distance from the
shore. The captain stated that the night
before he had gone ashore, and being afraid
of sneak thieves, he had, just be fore starting,
taken off the guard and slipped the watch
loose into his pocket. The explanation was
that either in going from, or to the ship, the
watch had fallen into the water, and been
gobbled by the fish In return for the unex-
pected recovery of the watch the captain gave
the delighted darkey five-dollar gold piece,
which looked, in his eyes, of far more value
than the watch.
