ANGLEWORM FARM IN MAINE,

ran out of bait. There was not an agle-

got He built into the ground reservoirs
OF Roman cement. These were fitted with
drainage and with system OF sub-irri-
CATION by which the reservoirs are alter
nately flooded with and enpted OF fresh
water.
Instead of rich earth, the reservoirs
are filled with old bran, which produces
a large and exceedingly lively worm. The
Bangor merchants have no trouble now in
getting rid of their waste bran, Mir. Beers
takes all they have and pays good price
for it, The worms breed twice yearly,
laying their eggs in August and May,
reaching their maturity at the age of seven
months. The worms are fed on lettuce
leaves and grass, and they thrive on this
fodder.
Mr. Beers has had a great demand for
his worms from fishermen in Montreal
and Quebec, He packs them in moss so
that they will not freeze in winter or die
OF heat in the summer. HIT has recently
shipped 100000 eggs to Lake Champlain,

ceived a fancy price. At the present time

This organization which is composed
mainly of pension attorneys, is directing
its efforts through the agency Of the

of which is seen in the action Of some Of
the posts in adopting resolutions condemn
ing Commissioner Evans for alleged liber-
alty in granting pensions and demanding
his removal in consequence. This move

from that class of pension attorneys whose

Washington, July 26.-lt is understood
that in the conferences held between the
Pre- os!dent and Mr.. Root, the new secretary
of war, questions of formulating resula =
tions for the government of cuba and
Porto Rico were discussed, the desire of
the President being to establish some kind
of civil government in Porto Rico and
to arrange preliminaries for enabling tho
people of Cuba to take part in the admin
istrat ton of the civil affairs of that island.
With regard to Porto Rico, which is IL
portion of the donna in Of the United States,
whatever is done by the President will bc
subject to the action of Congress. 1t is
reasonably certain that Congress. at an
early day in the approaching session, will
give consideration to a plan of govern
ment for that island. and that Legislation
will be perfected for establishing pcrmd
ncntly a civil system.
Cuba, however, according to the decara-
ton of Congress is merely in temporary
possession of the United States, and for
the specific purpose of enabling the people
of the island to establish a stable and
permanent form of government, which
shall be administered by officets of their
own choosing. The Pre- sident is said 10
