FRAUD ON THE KENNEREc.

shippers Who 1zeared Barvests With Goods
 Not in the Manifest.
 The recent discovery of finding goods Qn. American fishing vessels not down on the manifest calls to mind an incl dent that happened years ago, the truth of which theWriter and some oth- CTS as we'll can vouch. The fact that smuggling has been continually going on for years can best be illustrated by the arrival Of fishing schooner at the mouth of the Kennebec with wines and liquors from St. Pierre, N. r. The skipper gave out that fishing was a failure and the craft was hauled into a secluded cove and apparently aban- doned. Not so the cargo, for the crew proceeded up the river, where they succeeded in hiring an old decked scow. Returning at night the cargo was transferred to the scoW and se- eurely hid beneath the deck, when suddenly afterward the craft and crew conceived the idea of going up river on an ceiling trip. The necessary bar rels, with all other equipments neees- sary to successful trip were put aboard, and the seow, piled high with eel traps, sailed away for Gardiner, where she arrived later and tied up at Clark's wharf in then Pittston. Public curiosity was aroused by the novelty of this new business, and numerous visitors watched the men as they placed and pulled their eel pots here and there, while the captain explained the process and the amount of money there was in the business. After few weeks of this desultory kind of fishing the craft sailed away, the crew largely enriched by this perhaps original man. nef of selling a high grade of liquor to parties in the secret, who were all men of distinction and good judges of what they bought frequently in large quan- titles. Perhaps it is needless to say that the cells were never shipped, but returned to their natural element at a proper season. Most of the men who sought and did enrich themselves in this case I have mentioned are now dead, but the system still remains, and it IS indeed remarkable the customs of- ficers have so long been ignorant of the fact

Vegetable Food for Poultry.

From Farm Paper
 Young chicks are very partial to potatoes and the adult fowls also eat them readily. Save all the small and unmarketable potatoes and boil them for the hens. 1t is not necessary to mash them, as the hens know how to eat them without assistance. Turnips also make cheap food for poultry, es- pecially ducks and will pay as a crop for feeding in that manner The most successful breeders of ducks use tur- nips cooked and thickened with bran for ducklings, and they serve as very satisfactory diet for geese in winter. But little grain is necessary if poultry are we'll supplied with cooked foods.
