Mr. |. L. Libby, TIE great Maine cattle dealer
passed yesterday in this city. Mr.. Libby is always
interesting, and his talk abou; the tricks of the
Brighton market particularly so. He says thai
mllch cows to sell well mast lie dragged up In
other words their calves must be kept away and
the bag allowed to fill out with milk to show the
capacity of the COW. This cruel and heinous practice
which Is still i'll vogue, has caused unprinviplet
dealers to invent a machine for pumping water in
to the utider and SO forcing out the cows bag fOl
selling purposes. Frequently the unsophisticateC
buyer niilks out his recent purchase, obtaining !;
pail full of what he calls blue milk and he is cha
grned to find at the next milking a cup will hol,
the mess instead of pail, and he learns the lessor
that holds true i'll all trades to deal with rcliabl,
dealers This is one of the many Brighton tricks

Why The Waverly Will not be Rebuilt.

The rummies of Waldo county and particularly
of Belfast, have shown SO much persistence in the
Illegal sale of liquor on the south shore, adjoining
the Northport camp ground, that the Maine Yves
leyan Association have about decided not TO erect
a hotel in the place of the Waverly House, recent
~ destroyed by fire. Interviews with many Of the
officials disclose the fact that they were nearly
powerless last year, and the acqutt;il of two men
who sold liquor all the season long, shows them
that the rum interest is too strong. They say the
charming watering place must be preserved for
permanent and pcaceabc residents and Christians
who come to the meetings. Last year they passed
Il vote TO the effect that excursions should be
allowed TO land, and il there is no hotel on the
grounds such as come for drinking and immoral

ground. Then if the Waldo county officials allow

A TALK ABOUT FISH. Mr. George i. Ferguson,
of this city, says that four years ago eighteen Ger
man carp were put into Little pond at the foot of
Oak Hill, and that if he knew how to capture carp
he would make the attempt to whether the fish
have grown and multiplied. In discussing the fish
laws Mr. Ferguson said that in respects the
laws arc wrong. For instance, all small Holsters
caught must be thrown back into the water, while
the large ones taken He thinks the large
ones should be thrown back, so that they could
multiply. Mr.. Ferguson once caught lobster, at
City Point, in a hoop net, that weighed y pounds.
Mr.. Ferguson remarked that river was former
ly great place for shati and aewives, which went
up the river to spawn. His mother remembers
when 800 barrels of shad were captured in weir,
at City Point. Every year large quantities of ale
wives come up the river to spawn, but there arc
six mill dams on the stream which prevent access
to the spawning grounds. MIR. Ferguson believes
that should fishways be built in these dams the
fish would go up the river and spawn, and in q
short time alcwiyes would be abundant in our
river. The same is true of Goose river. Could the
fish ascend to Goose Pond it would make an eX-
cclcnt breeding place for fish.
