BANGOR. Sept. lone day last week the en-

turned out and he ped the fishermen dress and
salt nifty barrels OF maekerel. 1t has been q
hard year Tor the fishermen. for. on account OF
lack Of bait aud food-fshes the cod fishery has
been a complete failure. and the unexpected
taking OF the fifty barrels OF mackerel
created great excitement along shore The
fish were small and the weather warm, SO
that they had to be dressed and packed at oncs
or they would spoil.
30 many men had gone away to the mainland
looking for employment that there were not
enough left to care for the mackerel The
summer boardsrs volunteered their seryices
and men and women were soon standing about
the doriss and splittinR-tab dressed in their
Oldest clothes. and working with might and
main to help the fishermen. Wel-known men
and women OF New York. Boston. Chicago,

the last mackerel had been sailed and $500
saved for the fishermen.

addition to pasture and soiling crops,
four to five pounds of bran. By this
System of liberal feeding, a t y o years
record shows an annual income per
COW OF $40 SO, the milk being sold at an
average Of 8 cents per gallon.
Last year at the College
