A shipment of 10000 iandlocked
salmon from the Cobbossee hatchery
this week, will complete the shipments
from the place for the season. One
nall OF this number will be shipped to
Lambert lake, and $500 to Long pond in
Lincoln county, the remainder will be
sent to Rangeley.
They have completed the taking of
trout eggs for the season at the
hatchery, having taken fully 400 900
eggs thus far. Mr.. Berry Who took
them pronounces them of exceptionally
fine quality. The show of fish running
up the streams, this fall, has been far
ahead of previous years which leads
the commissioners to believe they are
increasing fast. Only two landlocked
salmon have been SEEM this fall. in the

HOW TO ANCHOR A POST.

the top of the post. BY using a stick,
b, the wire can be frightened if there is
any tendency to become loose. To move
the fence, loosen the lower strand from
the posts. Begin at one end and make a
coil about two feet across. Roll this on
the ground, crossing and recrossing the
strand of wire with the roll, about
every foot of length on the strand.
The barbs will hold it and keep the roll
together. When the roll is as large as is
convenient to handle, cut the wire and
begin again. When replacing fasten
one end to the post where the top wire
is to stay and roll along the ground
close to the posts. Follow with the sec
ond one little further off and then the
third. Experience has proved to me
that this is the easiest, quickest and
best plan to remove wire fence, as after
some practice it can be done quickly

matically, if not forcibly, France will
object to the permanent conquest of
those islands by this republic. Even
now France is bristling up and prepar-
ing her navy for aggressive action.
But now that this country mas gone
forward there will be no backward
step. Our people have not generally
paid any special attention to the Phil
ippine islands, but our statesmen have
studied and learned all about them.
They lie midway between China and
Australia. They contain 1880 square
miles; and the British islands contain
only $4,000 square miles. The land on
the Philippine islands is almost fabu-
lousy fertile. The population is s,OO0,-
900, which is almost three times as many
people as there were in the American
colonies when they struck out for lib
erty and independence. They are good
people, too. They are learning the art
of war and are winning their indie
pendence. They are fully aware of the
value of personal and national liberty.
They are but little, if any, inferior to
the people whom Gomez and Garcia are
leading in Cuba. 1t was a war necessity
that this republic should capture ths
Philippine islands. We will always have
and maintain there coaling station, if
nothing more.
No nation in Europe would under
take to thwart us except France, and
she dare not. Fra ice has the second
greatest navy in the world, but she can
not use her navy to enforce any demand
upon this country without encounter
ing other navies, There may be some
naval demonstrations in Asiatic waters,
but the fleets of Great Britain and of
Russia will also be there. Those pow
erful nations would rather see the Phil
ippine islands in our possession, or I'M
der our protectorate, than in the power
of any other country.
Right there lies the core of the aren-
ment of diplomacy. Right there we see
the kernel of the diplomatic nut. Tbs
possible possession of the Philippine is-
lands by this country. as the result Of
war with Spain, has constituted thI
strongest argument for peace with the
powers of Europe; and yet few of our
people have realized that fact. 1t is on
this account that Spain has been unable
to secure European concert o aid her
in defending her Cuban possessions.
The powers of Europe wou.d rather see
those valuable islands under the stars
and stripes than to see them wrested
from Spain by France And Franco
has been plotting to make just that
move upon the slightest pretext.
Beginning war for the preservation
OF peace at its doors, this republic has
really entered upon an era of conquest
and marked an epoch in history; an
epoch which would have made Wash
ington and Jefferson shudder could
they have foreseen it.

POULTRY DISEASES.
Quite n Number of Them, IncIudin q
ROup, Cholera, Influenza and
Diphtheria, Are Contagious.

Drs. Smith and Moore, of the bureau
of animal industry, Washington, d, c.,
have made important Investigations on
the above subject. They find that
"black head" in turkeys, diphtheria,
cholera and roup in fowls are con-
tagious. They also believe that So
called roup, influenza and sometimes
cholera are different stages of the one
disease - diphtheria. However this
may be, it is stated that diphtheria is
infectious, and it may be transmitted
to children. Therefore the great i'm
portance of separating all sick fowls
and combining them to some outbuilding,
keeping the children away. Doctoring
sick fowls is very improbable business,
and there is seldom any reason why
the fowls should be sick, provided you
have done your part. Your part is to
keep the roost clean and free from
lice. Give clean water daily. Fill up
all low places where water is apt to
collect and clear away all rubbish
burning it is the proper thing. Fur
nish good, sharp grit for the fowls, and
don't get the poultry so fat that the or.
gans will be so clogged that they can,
not perform their normal duties.
Make the roost tight and dry and pro-
vide convenient busting places. Make
the fowls exercise by scratching in
litter. In fact, this last point and clean
fresh water will go long way toward
keeping the fowls in good health.
There is no kind of stock on the farm
that is more healthy than fowls when
they have proper care. Too many peo-
pie try to crowd 100 fowls in too small
n house. This not only lessons the
number of eggs, but is apt to breed dis,
ease as well. The fowls in the center of
a crowded perch will get too warm,
and therefore colds will follow. A
house 20 by 80 feet is not bit too large
for 100 fowls. The proper way is to
divide the fowls up into smaller fiocks
of say IL to 20 fowls each, and separate
them during the cold weather at least.

AMONG THE POULTRY.

The pullet is SO called until she is a
year old.
Never feed sulphur to fowls in damp
or rainy weather.
Bone meal can usually be fed to grow
ing chickens to advantage.
Be sure and provide plenty of shade
or fowls during the summer.
In quantity of eggs pullets will excel,
but not in quality for Matching.
The loss of feathers often proceeds
from unclean busting arrangements.
When a chicken picks itself frequent
~ it is good indication that it is lousy.
With guineas-to insure fertile eggs
it will be best to keep them in pairs.
A good dust bath will help materially
in keeping the fowls in good condi-
ton.
1t is a good plan to dip the eggs in
tepid water the day before they are to
hatch.
Care and cleanliness in feeding fowls
will be richly repaid in increased health
and thrift.
Turkeys are good foragers and will
pick up their food from the fields during
the summer.
Geese are kept largely for the feathers
they yield, and if the most is made out
Of them, care must be taken to pick
them regularly.-St- Louis Republic.

The wooden ships, with their wealth

When this country abandons the
Asatic station, it will be time for us to
abandon Alaska, and when we aban-
don Alaska we may as well make ready
to abandon our Pacific coast states. In
brief, we must be one OF the foremost
nations of the world in every respect,
or we will sink GU; of sight and deserve
the sneers and suubs which have here
tofore been put upon us by the powers
OF the old world. We must be narrow or
we must broaden out.
To-day we have not a place in Asia
where we may stop over night and be
welcome. because we are at war with
Spain there is no harbor open to us
along the eastern coast of Asia, and
there is no coaIing place for the ships of
our Asiatic squadron. The American
citizens who first face this fact must
DO so with deep humiliation, but it is
true that we are not allowed to-day to
enter Asiatic harbors for food, coal or
sny other of the necessities of life
which may be called contraband Of war.
Our humiliation is deeper when we
note and acknowledge the fact that our
republic is the only nation of the first
glass that can be kicked out OF Asia in
this unceremonious manner. All of the
European nations have coaling stations
and commercial footholds over there.
But our naval vessels had to get out
and fight for foothold, or else steam
across the Pacific ocean 10000 miles.
When our people understand this fact
they will say unanimously that it is not
right.

Especial Washington Letter.l

The circumstances have created them
selves. This republic has entered up
on new epoch. Precedents are being
established which tend to radically al
ter the traditiona! policy of the country.
Washington could not foresee the
conditions of the century beyond him,
and hence he believed that this repub-
lie would always be isolated. President
Monroe uttered doctrine which is dear
to our people, but he could not forsee a
warfare for the protection of Spanish
subjects from Spanish tyrants upon
American soil. Lincoln, jackson, Grant
and even Cleveland could not peer into
the future and see what destiny had in
store for us as a participant in the de-
velopment of the world.
The international lawyer, the phil
osopher who pores over the map of the
world, and studies the movements of
not need the eye of a seer to discern
that in a very brief space of time the
stars and stripes will be floating over
the Philippine islands, the Hawaiian
islands, Cuba, Puerto Rico and the
Canary islands.
After taking possession of them what
will we do with them? That is an en-
tirely different problem. Its solution
will depend upon circumstances, some
of which are yet undiscernable because
undeveloped.
Among statesmen of prominence
there is no dissent concerning the con-
ditions of American Development in in
ternational affairs. On the contrary,
1t is generally agreed that present con-
ditions and visible developments of the
future indicate the manifest destiny of
this republic to extend its power and to
exert international influence, IN order
that our strength at home may be main

people, nor in the mind of the admin
istration. But circumstances have al
tered conditions so radically, and in
ternational developments have been SO
marked, that it became necessary for
us to take possession of the Philippine
islands; not merely for the present, but
for the future. The war with Spain has
brought about this result as one of the
unforeseen conditions of the times.
Some of Dur statesmen who have bit
terly opposed the annexation of the
Hawaiian islands now favor action on
that line. 1t is daily more and more APP
parent that we must have military and
naval strength in the Pacific ocean, or
we will fall behind in the procession of
the nations of the century; and prob
ably fall behind for all time in the
march of civilization and progress.
Our institutions are now being unex-
pectedly tested, and the republic is rap
idly rounding into an epoch which will
bring to our constitutional government
of the people veal or woe; an epoch
which might have been avoided, averted
or delayed by sound diplomacy. In the
very near future these views of states
men will be outlined in congressional
debate. AT present the conditions and
environments are known only in the
confidential conferences of statesmen,
in the capitol cloak rooms or in the pri-
vacy of their homes.
Ever since the order went to Admiral
Dewey to attack the Philippine islands,
the eyes of our diplomats have been
centered upon the orient, and but little
thought has been given to the feet in
Cuban waters, the flying squadron or
the land forces which have been mobil-
izing at the various designated points
of rendezvous. The horizon of the ma
tons they have scanned, viewing the
peoples who are avariciously grasping
for future ggrandizcment. Our most
able statesmen believe that for self-pro-
lection alone, and with no primary
spirit of conquest, we should obtain
and maintain foothod in the orient.
This is regarded as a self-evident fact
which needs neither demonstration nor
elaboration.
1t is a fact, not for a moment to be
overlooked, that France desires to be
the strongest and greatest power in
southeastern Asia. France has long
coveted the Philippine islands. Diplo-

Women as Spies.

Women might serve this government
as spies in a great WAX. That woman
cannot keep a secret herself or let any
one else keep one is not borne out by
certain secret archives kept in a large
freproof safe in the war department.
One of the most active and reliable
union spies in the late war was wom-
an, who worked successfully for a long
period. Eventually, however, she was
caught by the enemy and hanged to a
tree. Martial law, which states that
the spy is punishable by death by
hanging by the neck" has no respect
for sex.-N. Y. Herald.
