IF you have any fault to find with

among the cattle of Maine, yet we are
constantly receiving requests from
farmers to examine their stock because
they fear the disease NAV exist among
them. II we complied with all the re-
quests of this kind which come to rs
without first making careful inyestipa-
lion we should require a very much
larger appropriation than we have. For
instance we now have several reouests
from Aroostook county to come up
there and examine herds of stock. The
expense attendant upon this work is
very large. Consequently we are yery
careful where we go and what we do
IN the matter of condemning diseased
cattle. We cannot, even with the great
est care in expenditures, be able to do
all that should be done with our pres
ent appropriation of $500 a year.
Some of the finest stock in Maine is
in Aroostook county and it is con-
stantly improving in value. 1 know a
farmer up there who recently pur-
chased two blooded cows for which he
paid $500. Another man bought a bull
calf, paying 500 for it, There are some
very fine herds in and about Pressure
Isle. Caribou and Fort Fairfield. The
next 10 years will show a big gain in
the number and value of Aroostook
county stock
The fish and game commissioners re-
port that the fish in the State fish
hatcheries are now doing finely and
the indications are that a large amount
of young fish will be liberated this fall
in the various ponds and lakes in
Maine.

today. The entrance leading from

while the construction of the new
walk was in progress.
Col. F. H. Parkhurst of Bangor. COM
missary general on the staff of Gov.
Hill, went to New York, yesterday, on
private business. He was seen by
journal representative before leaving
and he talked quite freely regarding
the recent encampment of the National
Guard of Maine, and the methods pur-
sued by him in supplying the men with
food during the muster.
Il have not fully completed my ac-
counts as yet said Col. Parkhurst
but 1 am satisfied that the expense
of providing for the troops will not
cost any more per capita this year
than it did last year. In 1901 we had
camp of practically six days, while
this year we had 70 furnish food for
practically five days. Last year the
total cost was about $4,000, exclusive of
ice, fuel and water. This year the to-
tai cost. as near as / can judge at the
present time, will be about $500. If
the price of all food products had been
the same as in 1901 considerable saw
ing could have been made. All kinds
of meats and provisions were much
higher than last year. Butter and
eggs We're very high as compared with
former years, and in fact so was ev-
erything that had to be supplied the
men.
Regardless of the increased cost of
the raw material it is certain that the
total cost to the State will be kept in
side of the per capita figures of last
year."
