Few people except those connected
directly or indirectly with the business
realize what an important industry
the mackerel fishery was at one time
to Portland. When the business was
at its best something over 100 sail of
fine schooners We're employed in the
business there. The average value of
these vessels would be not far from
$4,000 each and carried crew of from
Is to II men. The value of the catch
of a vessel during the years when the
business was prosperous would be from
$4,000 to $4,000. Nearly all the outfits,
stores, etc, were purchased in Port
land. Repairs to vessels and gear
were made in Portland and the in
dividual wants of the crews (aggregat-
ing over 1900 mem were supplied in
Portland. The catch of mackerel were
principally handled in Portland giving
employment to large number of men.
Thus it will be seen that the mackerel
fishery was at one time a large in
dustry in Portland. Portland inspec-
ton always stood we'll and the name of
any Portland inspector on the head of
barrel was guarantee of quality
which insured it a ready sale in any
market in the country. Now the ques-
ton Is what is the cause of the disap-
pearance of the mackerel? The most
popular answer to the question is that
the SEEMING has destroyed or driven
them away, yet others whose judgment
ought to be good and whose opinion
should be of some weight say the SEM
ing has had nothing to do with it, and
that there are as many mackerel today
as ever. but that they do not show on
the surface of the water as often as of
yore. and others who say they have
been destroyed by other fish and have
not bred fast enough to counteract the
slaughter. Others say they have sim
ply taken another turn and will come
back on the Maine coast again as
plentiful as ever. Let us hope and
pray that the latter is the correct solu-
ton.

Eureka has been in the Maine ports
during the past few weeks many have
noticed badly cut torpedo on board
which is Of much interest and will be
added to cur war museum. The tor
pedo was planted in Portsmouth har-
Dor last spring in one of the deepest
parts of the mined field. 1t was not
supposed that any vessels entering or
leaving the harbor could possibly in
terfere with this torpedo. When the
mines were taken up 1t was found that
this torpedo had been struck twice by
some ships propeller blades and nearly
cut in two. A comparison Of draught
of vessels entering the port make it
probable that the torpedo was struck
by the ST. Louis, Captain Sigsbee,
when he brought the Spanish prisoners
to Portsmouth. No one can explain
why the 100 pounds Of dynamite was
not exploded Had an explosion taken
place in one OF our harbors while we
were transporting Spanish prisoners it
might have led to serious complication
in the settlement of the present war.
One thing was demonstrated, 1t re-
quires very heavy blow to discharge
one of our ordinary dynamite torpedoes
unless the blow happens to be directed
towards the first plug.

For the year of 1898 less than 100
barrels of salt mackerel have been
landed in Portland, and not over 1000
barrels fresh. This is discouraging to
say the least when we think OF the
volume of the business in years past
Twenty years ago was what was then
considered a rather hard year when
the New England catch amounted to
196,46S barrels, the next year $3.50
there was slight improvement the
catch amounting to 220,599 barrels.
Then for three years the catch aver
aged 100000 for each year. In 1888
there was another drop. the catch
amounting to 226.6S5 barrels. Then
came the banner year GSs4) when the
New England catch of salt mackerel
was 47s.076 barrels. In 1885 the catch
was 32?.943 barrels and from that time
on the decline has continued with the
exception of 1896 when 77,464 barrels
were landed and in 1897 only 1854
barrels We're landed.

THE APPLE WORM.

HE NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION.
This insect does an enormous amount
Of damage each year It is estimated that
the apple cropin New York State is worth
on an average seven aud a half million dol
lars, and that wormy apples form about
one-third the crop, making the loss two
and half million dollars.
The eggs from which the worm comes is
laid by little moth called the Cooling
Moth, either on the little apple, on the
stem, or the leaves near by They hatch
and the worm begins to eat its way in the
apple. Three-fourths enter atthe blossom
end 1t works to the core, feeds till full
grown, then leaves the apple and hides
under the bark of the tree or under rub
bish on the ground Here it spins case
of silk around itself and in time comes out
as little moth and this history is repeat
ed
1t comes from its resting place in the
spring, about when the blossoms fall and
the fruit sets, and begins laying eggs which
hatch in about week Then is the Il me
to kill the worm, The apple blossom
now points up, and the calyx lobes are
separate. In week or 50 they draw to-
gether, and before so doing, but several
days after the blossoms have fallen, the
trees should be sprayed with paris green,
one pound mixed with 175 gallons of water
and two pounds of fresh slaked lime
Thrown on the trees in spray this will
fall on the blossom ends Of the apple, re-
main there and when the worm begins Co
eat poIsons him. 1t is too late to spray
after the calyx lobes draw together.
The last Of Jnly and first of August the
moths from the eggs laid in spring appear
to lay eggs for the second brood If the
loose dead bark is taken from the trunk of
the tree near the orotches and an old cloth
wrapped around, the moths will hide un
der this and may be crushed All wind
fall apples should be picked up, or the
sheep and hogs allowed to rnn In the or
chard
The cost of spraying is not more than
five TO ten cents tree; and pear trees
should also be sprayed. The plum curcu-
lis may be destroyed with London Parple
mixed as above described, and sprayed
on the trees before the flower binds open.
Do not spray while trees are in blossom
