All the grabbers couldn't get hold, aud

There is lobster farm-or pound, as 1t
is callsd-twelve miles in extent at South
port, Maine. This pound is the moet sue
csssful on the coast, whencs 1000, 900
Holsters are shipped each Year. Tho
pound Is formed by building a eolid dam
across a ude-water cove. This dam does
| not quite rise to high water mark, but
| across the top is placed a fence of iron
rods, permitting daily change of water
and preventing the lobsters from escap-
| ing. In the spring and fall business is
| most brisk. When the 6shermea bring
| the Holsters to the pound the "6sh," as
they ara called, are hoisted to the dam,
measured, and those which are more than
| 101 inches long, the legal limit, are thrown
| In. If lobster Ia clever his life in the
pound may be long and full of joy. If he
is stupid he will be fshed out with drag
seine and packed in barrel, with piece
of ice for pillow, and sent to Boston.
