COMMITTEE HEARINGS.
Agriculture.

At their session yesterday afternoon the
Committee on Agriculture considered the
question of the special State bounty in aid OF
the two leading State agricultural societies
in Maine. viz the Maine State Agricultural
Society, and the Eastern Maine State Fair
Association. This hearing came up on two
bills, one presented BY the officers of the
last named society. the other framed by Mr..
Burleigh and Mr.. Shaw of the agricultural
committee. The former named bill
appropriates $3.50 each for the
years 1889 and 1890 for the leading agricul-
tural interests as follows: For dairy pre-
miums 5000; for beef and fat cattle, $500 Z;
for sheep, $500; for horses, 5000; for
swine, $50 for poultry, $500; for mechanical
industries, $500 annually. The bill which
origi lated with the committee, appropriates
the following sums, viz: For dairy pre-
miums. SEQ: for beef and fat cattle, $3.50 !:
fer horses, $3.50; for sheep, $50: for
swine, 500; for poultry, $50. making a to-
tai Of $1,000 each for the years 1889 and 1890.
Hon J. p. Bass of Bangor, President of the
Eastern State Fair appeared in behalf of his
bill. He argued that the amount for beef
cattle in the committees bill was too large,
and that for poultry not large enough. He
advocated the passage Of his bill with much
warmth and vigor. Hon. Rufus Prince
stated that the influence of the aid given BY
tine Legislature to these State fairs had been
great incentive to the improvement of
cur agriculture. His own society had since
1854 increased its amount Of premiums to
the amount Of e947. Last year it offered
e251.So in premiums on poultry. What
ever the State PAYS out In premiums to
agriculture goes right back into the pockets
