Porgies and BrotherIy Love.

The good people of Brooklin in this
State appear to be very wroth over the
change i'll the porgy law made by the last
legislature. 1t seems that until last win
ter the poIgy fishermen were prohibited
from fishing within a certain distance
from the shore, taking the line from
headland to headland. Last winter, how
ever, the solons changed from headland
to headland to mainland and mainland,
giving the porgy fishermen more scope.
During the past summer porgies have
freQuented the Maine coast in numbers
nearly equal to the days of the '70's. The
few enterprising men who kept in repair
their factories on our coast have reaped
harvest. The old town of Bristol in our
neighboring county of Lincoln has APP
parently received a new lease CT life.
The return of these fish gave employ
ment to hundreds of its needy men, and
thousands upon thousands of dollars have
gone into the different homes. Now a
few Inhabitants of the Eastern towns like
Brooklin, situated upon the bays from
which some of these fish were caught,
look upon these porgy fShermen as rob-
bers. OFF Popham and Small Point very
many of these fish we're caught this sum-
mer and to many it was most interesting
sight and brought back to memory those
good old fishing days Of yore.
Porgies are not food fish and hence
can never be of any great value to anyone.
They are short lived migratory fish, and
If they can be the means of making a
prosperous business for any of our poor
coast towns certainly it shows lack of
brotherly love to try to prevent it. bath

The Dairy and Cattle Industry.

The cattle business in New England is
undergoing a change and farmers are chang
ing their methods and the kinds Of stock
kept to meet the changing conditions. The
gradual change from private to associated
dairying has worked great Improvement
in the quality of butter on the market and
is leading to larger number of cows of the
dairy breeds being kept. Again, the ex
treme to which slovenliness has been carried
by some of the concerns which supply milk
to the great cities, and the exposure of the
same by boards of health, has led to de-
mand for mich cows for private use. A
gentlemans estate in the city now is as in
complete without its COW stable as it for
merly was without the horse stable and car
riage house. Even the large yachts when
fitted up for long cruises carry cows on
board to supply the tables with milk and
cream. These cows are bought when young
and in full milk, kept while at their best,
and then replaced by new stock. This
makes demand for the better class of cows
of the milk producing breeds, a demand
which our Waldo County farmers can sup
ply with direct profit from the sale and the
consequent improvement of the farms from
keeping the stock.
Another and perhaps greater source of
benefit to our farms is the dairy business.
The Unity creamery, which takes the pro-
duct of the cows in the northern part of the
county has proved a decided benefit not only
in direct money returns, but in causing the
farmers to keep larger number and better
quality of cattle, and making it possible to
raise pork at profit. The Bangor cream
cry is doing similar work for the farmers
of Monroe and vicinity, and the newly es-
tablished creamery i'll Belfast bids fair to
work equally favorable results for farmers
in this section.
For few years past Waldo county farm
ers have sold annually about 800 mich
cows to go to Boston markets, in most cases
the COW being accompanied by her calf.
Many veal calves are also shipped to the
Boston, Brighton and Watertown markets.
The price received for veal is higher in pro-
portion than the price of yearlings and few
of our farmers keep stock the first winter.
They sell the calves and buy yearlings to
inferior quality bought principally in Aroos-
took, but by good feeding make fairly profit
able cows. The changing demands will
work an improvement in this and cause our
farmers to raise the best calves and to breed
with view to improvement of the stock in
milk and butter producing lines.
A number of prominent agriculturists who
recently visited this county, stopping in Bel
fast, Lincolnville, Belmont, Freedom, Unity,
Thorndike and Monroe, expressed them
selves as surprised at the fertility of the
soil and the capacities of those towns as a
milk and dairy producing section. They
would have met similar conditions in almost
any section of our county.
Accessory to the cattle industry is the
corn canning, which provides means of
greatly increasing the fertility of the farms,
giving ready money crop and furnishing
an excellent feed for the cattle.

What an Epidemic Costs.

New Orleans estimates its loss from the
yellow fever epidemic at $25, 900, 900, aud
it is doubtful if this covers all the Incl
dental damages. A twentieth of that sum
spent in sanitation would be called expen-
sive, yet there are circumstances that
would make it a most profitable invest
ment. One peculiar fact about this year S
outbreak of yellow fever in New Orleans
is that the normal average mortality of
the city has been but slightly increased
The rate, with the epidemic at its height,
was but a fraction over twenty five per
1000 annually, which is about the same as
that of New York City during the same
time, though considerably higher than in
st. Louis This city has had healthful
year, and its excellent sanitary depart
ments are to be commended for untiring g
and intelligen Mt work. st. Louis Globe

temporary says of the change:
The fact is, the Weekly Journal was, we
believe, the very last of the "blanketsheet'
New England weeklies. Not single paper
in New England existed with pages of such
size. The Belfast journal once had them,
but 1t changed to the eight-page form some
years ago The Vermont Waterman, the
giant weekly of the Green Mountain State,
has also succumbed to the march of i'm
provement. The Weekly Journal has stood
out until change became imperative.

Low tariff advocates who were talking
about increased prices under the Dingley
law will be grieved to learn that the net
average increase in prices OF articles
affected by importation is less than one
per cent, while the increased earnings of
those employed in the manufacturing in
dustres and in agriculture, which depend
largely upon industrial activity, have been
far greater than that. Protection not
only protects, but Incl dentally benefits
Others quite as much as those directly
protected.

The Farmers Daughter.

You should see her
In the kitchen,
Cap and apron
White as snow.
In her eyes
The love-light shining
On her cheeks
A rosy glow.
Sleeves rolled up
Above white elbows,
Sweeping here
And busting there.
This fair daughter
OF the farmer,
For the household
Hath a care.
And her song
Is just as tuneful,
And her step
Is just as light.
AS when she,
Sweet merry maker,
Joined her mates
In play, last night.
Oh, the little
Farmers daughter
(Heaven bless her
AS she goes).
She is fairer
Than the lily,
She IS sweeter
Than the rose.

ia Washington do not hesitate to express
the view that a refusal by the Republican

port for Senator the man who was unan-
imously nominated for the position by

county conventions would destroy the

steady growth of public sentiment in favor

American manufactures continue to be
popular abroad, despite the assertion that
protection would make them unpopular.
The London Economist, of recent date,
says that England is becoming large pur-
chaser of American manufactures, espec-
tally in iron and steel lines, and that Eng
lish manufactures must cheaper their
cost OF production if they are to hold their
ground against the American competitor.
The English satstician Mulhall has dis
appointed the free traders by pointing out
the facts that the expectations of the
I nited States have increased three times
as fast as the population during the pro-
teetiye tariff period. MI. Mulhall shows
i'll a recently published article that while
the increase in population in the past
twenty years has been IS per cent, the
value OF expectation has been 175 per
cent.

The Treasury receipts in November
averaged nearly one million dollars per day
for each business day of the month. All
of this was accomplished under the Ding
ley law, and without any material revenue
from the duty on sugar, as the importers
are now using up their large stock of that
article which was imported before the new
law went into effect. 1t is estimated that
the revenue from the duty on sugar. when
the present stock is exhausted, will
average s., 900, 900 month, which of it.
self will be sufficient to bring the revenue
up to sum equal to the ordinary expen-
ditCres of the Government. With the in
crease which will come from other articles
such as wool, wooden goods, and other
manufactures, with which the country
had been filled, it is now perfect appar-
ent that the revenue produced under this
law will be ample.
The persistency with which Great Brit
ain maintains her free trade notions is
causing the ruin of some of her colonial
possessions. Her West Indian possessions
are rich and fertile tracts, but they are
mainly dependent upon their sugar crop
for support, and now that the beet-sugar
industry has risen to such proportions in
Europe they cannot successfully COM
pete in the markets to which they have
heretofore shipped the products of their
cane. Germany has paid an export
bounty on her beet sugar so that it has
come into ruinous competition with the
West Indian cane product. A moderate
duty on beet sugar by England would give
the West Indies access to that market,
and, although it is clearly understood by
the British that these colonies are bank
rupt and on the verge Of absolute ruin, no
Englishman will raise his voice in favor of
slight relaxation of the free trade
idea.

Dun's Review states that the present
business in the boot and shoe line sur
passes all records in shipments from the
East for Novembers, being y per cent
larger than in the prosperous period of
1892, and that the total for the year will
probably be the greatest ever known. The
works are running full capacity, and the
host of urgent demands would seem to in
dictate an inability to satisfy the demand.
