CANNED SALMON OF NEW ZEA-
LAND.

Now the main rivers of New Zealand
with sea outlets are simply alive with
gigantic Chinook salmon. a distinct spe-
cies Of American sea salmon. In the
New Zealand waters they attain a size
much greater than that of any of the
salmon ever seen in the Siwash eoun-
try Immense canneries have been es-
tablished in New Zealand seacoast cit
les and towns for the canning Of these
Americaa salmon. and so inexhaustible
has the supply of the fish become from
the comparatively small beginning
made with the complaisant assistance
Of our fish commission, that New Zea-
land canned salmon is rapidly gaining
ground as one Of the standard fish pro-
ducts of the world.
The New Zealand salmon canneries
are now competing with the American
salmon canneries at the mouth of the
Columbia, and as they are underselling
the American Gamers, their complete
absorption of the salmon trade is only
a question of time A well known Cali
fornia man told the writer the other
day thar he could buy can Of New
Zealand salmon in san Francisco for
less money than will buy can Of Ore
gon salmon, and that the New Zea-
land article is the better,
This Is an especially pointed case, but
1t applies elsewhere. 1t Is case
which has recently been pointed out 10
the commission, and it is likely that the
free distribution of fish, eggs and Try
to foreign countries henceforth will not
be characterized by SO much liberality.

BoARD.OF AGRICULTURE.
Meeting Of the Executive Committee in
Bangor on Tuesday.

The executive committee of the Maine
Board of Agriculture met at the Bangor
House Tuesday evening for the discussion
of regular matters of interest to the farm
ers, including dairy matters, ETC., and to
plan for the work of the year. The follow
ing were present: Aroostook-J. W. Dud-
ley, Of Castle HILL, Androscoggin-B. f.
Briggs, of Auburn; Knox-E. e. Light,
of Union; Kennebec-W. G.. Hunter, of
of Hampden; Waldo-W. H. Moody, OF
Liberty; Washington-A. L. Farnsworth,
of Pembroke; and Secretary B. Walker
McKeen, of Augusta.
The holding of the next state dairy
meeting to be held in December was dis
cussed, and it may be held in Bangor.
The analysis of vinegar was discussed.
In four or five places in one county cider
vinegar has been found on sale which,
upon analysis by a chemist, has been dis
covered to be impure. The committee de-
cided to place the matter before the police
in order that the people may insist upon
having pure vinegar.
Inc SEED ana feed Dill came up Tor dis
cussion and Secretary McKeen reported as
to the Importance of feeds and said that
correspondence was going on between the
experiment station officers and the deal
ers in cotton seed products, with the re-
suit that it was evident that there is no
friction between them as to the enforce
ment Of the law.
The matter of institutes was discussed
and it was the opinion of the committee
that it was best to reach out into the
smaller sections of the state and hold
more meetings, rather than to hold fewer
meetings with the expectation Of larger
attendances at them.
The members of the executive commit
tee will go to Orono today to attend the
farmers field day exercises.

Female Orphan ASYLUM.

In late issue of this paper, an appeal
was made for aid in furnishing the re-
Gently purchased summer home for the
children of the Female Orphan Asylum.
Being DESTROYS of making the change
earlier than usual, the demand for fur
nishing the home becomes imperative.
Feeling assured that our generous citi-
zens would not willingly allow so worthy
an organization to suffer for funds to
make these homeless ones comfortable, we
venture again to remind you that any
pieces of furniture, cooking utensils, ar
ticles for use in laundry, or anything to
make the home attractive will be gladly
received at the asylum, corner of Dan
forth and State streets. If any one has
not furnishings and yet would be glad to
lend their aid, if they will kindly send
any sum OF money to my address it will
be especially acceptable as then it can be
expended for whatever is most needed.
