ANGLEWORN FARM IN BANGOR.
Successful Business of n Man Who Supplies
Fishermen with Bait.

BANGOR. Me. July 20.-The most curious
farm in the United States is located in Bangor.

men, and the proprietor has already made
shipments to nearly every section OF the coun-
try. Six years ago Carl Beers was at Moose

then resolved that he would try to cultivate
them the first chance he got. He built into tho
ground reservoirs Of Roman cement. and care
fully glazed the walls TO make escape impOssi-
Il system Of sub-irri9ation by which the reser-
voirs are alternately flooded with and empticd

The qucerest thing about this novel business
Is the method used in max ing place for the
worms to breed. Instead OF q generous sup
ply OF rich earth, the reservoirs are filed with
old bran. which produces a large and exceed
ingly lively worm. The Bangor mere hants have
no trouble now in getting rid OF their waste
bran. Mr.. Beers takes all they have and pays
II good price for il. Tho worms breed twice
yearly. laying their eggs in August and May
They reach their maturity at the age OF seven
months. The worms are fed on LETTUCE leaves
and grass. and they thrive on this fodder.

QUEBEC. Canada. July 22.-The deliberate
statement in the Canadian House Of Commons
by one OF the leading Ministers OF the Crown.
that Canada owes nothing to England" has
aroused much comment. The statement is the
more remarkable in that It was made by one

bcrs OF the House. discussing the matter of a
proposed preferential tariff within the British
Empire. said he remembered n statement by a
member Of the present Canadian Government
to the effect that Canada owed England little
ornothing unless II were Christian forgiveness.

Richard
The honorable gentleman has the audacity
to repeat that statement. replied Mr.. Mcneil.

more than Canada owes England"
There were loud derisve cries and disorder.
The drectness OF the statement. and the en-
phatic manner in which II was repeated by a
member OF the admin istraton. without pro-
test from any OF his colleagues, is expected to
cause much surprise in England. and IL may
have an important effect on the imperial Gov
crnment's attitude toward Canada in 1.-THE
Alaska boundary dispute with the United
States.
The resolution which Sir Richard opposed
favorinR preferential trade within the British
Empire, was defeated by q vote OF II to Al.
