A midnight battle with a 9 ant lob
ster. armed with powerful claws and
worked up to good fighting trim. was
fought by Charles McNane, fisherman
aud resident of Long Island. four
miles from Portland. Me, in Cascoe
Bay
Mr.. McNane had been fishing all
day with Indifferent success and had
decided TO pull up and start for shore,
AS he neared Ram Island which is
g barren strip of land with bold. rocky
shores and entirely devoid of trees.
he sp:ed large flock of sea duck hud-
died together in one of the tiny coves
that run up into the shores of the
island. The sight of the ducks aroused
his sporting instincts and made him
forget the cheerful fireplace of his
own cottage. To make a long story
short, he spent an hour or so among
the wary sea duck sailing about from
one cove 10 another. catching first
one and then another flock mapping.
SO ardent did this duck hunter be-
come in the pursuit Of his game that
he was surrounded by the chilly
gloom of an April night almost before
he knew ii.
McNane is man OF action. With
sweeping glance at sea and sky. and
not even stopping to pick up the last
duck he had shot. he turned his boats
bow toward the island and beached
it we'll on a strip Of sand.
With a knowledge born of many
similar experiences he turned his
dory upside down. and. with the aid
OF the sail and his oiiskins made
himself tolerably comfortable rest
ing place for the night.
McNane had been asleep as he
judges, some three or four hours.
when he vas suddenly awakened by
an icy cold stream of water trickling
under him and running up his trous-
ers legs. Scarcely had he regained
his senses when this forerunner of
the deluge was followed by a mighty
onrush of water that took him, his
boat. and everything else in its way,
pounding up the beach. Such was
the force of the wave that a heavy
piece of driftwood was hurled against
McNane's head with sufficient force
to render him unconscious for few
seconds.
When he recovered he was lying
high and dry on the beach, but he
had a horrible choking sensation. and
his neck and throat felt as though
clasped in a vice. Clutching with his
hand lie grasped the hard cold shell!

claw that gripped his throat and tried
TO breai. its hold. but the sturdy fish

a bachelor girl who hurried home

wriggling ecstasy of welcome had a
guest one evening who did not go IN

beaten and had crawled under the
table to brood over his wrongs was
standing beside his mistress with
hackles up and teeth cleaning, growl-

THE ORCHARD.

 The peach thrives best grafted on the plum stock. Potash fertilizers are best for stone 1 fruits.
 Trash in the orchard offers hiding place for the insect pests. | Good sound fruit can only be produced by healthy trees
 Wire is better than wood for any kind of grape trellis.
 Good care of the orchard pays better than any other labor on the farm.
 Wood ashes is an excellent manure for young trees.
 After the trees have been in bearing for two or three years the orchard may be seeded down to clover.
 Keep the orchard clear of brush.
 The best fruit brings the best profits
 Cut off the sprouts that spring up at the base of the fruit trees
 Land that will grow a good crop of corn or potatoes will grow berries.
 Thorough cultivation causes an abund- ance of fibrous rots to be made
 The plum orchard is always benefited by the poultry having the run of it.
 Have a sufficient number of varieties t> keep up supply of fruit through the season.
 A healthy, vigorous plant is in far bet ter condition 10 WltnStunQ drought than one that is weak and half grown.
 Too much manure before the trees come into bearing aften induces an ex- cessive growth of wood at the expense of fruit
 Newly-set peach trees should be gone over and all irregular growth of young wood be taken off before the wood hard ems.
 When strawberries of the highest excei- lence are desired, all the runners should be kept off.
 More fruit and of a better quality can be secured by thinning out the young ap- ples, peaches and pears; besides helping the trees.
 A weak solution of Paris green is one of the best with which to spray the apples and pear trees for the codlin moth.

Sheep Husbandry.

 In no state in the Union arc the condI- .lons so favorable for raising carly spring lambs as Alabama. We have the climate grasses, forage crops and cheap rates of transportation to the best markets In the world. Properly cared for, two ewes should average three lambs, which can be shlpped to New York several weeks earlier than spring lambs are received rom any state that supplies the eastern market. They command prices ranging from s7.50 up..
 If every American farmer would keep one sheep for each acre. these could be fed at profit of fully 100 per cent yearly.
 The eve makes the lsindest of mothers. and properly fed and treated we'll in other respect will be sure to take good care of her lambs.
 The farmer who engages in sheep rais- ing without shepherd dog. Is in nearly as bad a fix as the mariner at sea with out a compass
 Sheep do not require heavy pasturage. They are great foragers, and include on their bill of fare weeds, stubble, herbs and leaves. They equal the goat in that respect
 Sheep were first introduced into the American colonies by the London Com pany at Jamestown, Va. in 1909. and In forty years had increased to 5000.
 It Is estimated that sheep on the farm. soon increase the products of the land fully 25 per cent, and in a few years double the average yield of all the crops.
 With the proper attention to sheep hus- bandry we would soon become the largest wool producing country in the world, the
