Beef Raising.

In the first annual report of the COM
missioner of agriculture, A W. Gilman
notes an increase In the number of cows,
sheep and swine, also considerable in
crease in the number of oxen
Owing to the high price of beef, far
mers in some sections are turning their
attention to the line-of beef raising more
than formerly, and the commissioners
thinks this industry might be still furth-
er pursued with profit, If animals of the
right type were used, economical meth
DDS pursued, and the beef matured at an
early age.
The commissioner also thinks there
is an opportunity in the state for the
raising of good family horses at fair
remuneration. There is demand for
good working and driving horses which
would seem to justify the farmers, he
thinks, in paying more attention to TINS
branch of stock husbandry
The poultry industry also offers IN
dncements to the Maine farmer 1t is
said that Maine consumes between 50,
100000 and 100000 worth OF dressed
poultry and eggs annually and raises not
quite SO 000,0 worth MIR. Gilman be
lieves that with close attention to de-
tails the profits in this industry would
compare we'll with those in other
ranches of farming, and that a larger
proportion of these products should be
raised within the state
Dairying is the leading agricultural
pursuit III the state. Maine produces
nearly S10000,00 worth of dairy pro
ducts annually, and there are about 90
creameries in the stlte
The most successful dairymen say
that the waste products OF the dairy can
be utilized in no WAY 50 prohtably as IN
connection with the raising of pork.
Pork has been SO high during the
entire year that farmers who have
given this branch of husbandry proper
attention have classed it with the most
remunerative branches of farming.
The commissioner believes that the
farmers institutes, which have been so
generally held in all the counties, will
be great factor in teaching he farmers
the use of modern laborsaviDg machin-
cry, inducing them 10 broaden out and
adopt new methods of farming, and
thereby revolutionize the agricul ture of
the 4ate. One of the most pleasing
features is the farmers wives are be-
coming more and more Interested in
these institutes. The character of the
work done by the several fairs through
out the state is also advancing. Special
attractions are being dropped out and
more attention is being paid to the edu-
cational feature.
Mr.. Gilman finds upon investigation
that the law in relation to feeding stuffs
is defective, and the object for which it
was designed cannot be accomplished.
The attention of the committee on ag-
riculture of the coming legislature will
be called to there matters.

Smugglers' brains are proverbially
fertile, and clever eXpedient was once
adopted to import brandy into Paris
without paying the octroi duties, says
the Golden Penny. For several weeks
a splendid elephant and his keeper be-
longing to a circus had constantly gone
in and out of one of the Paris gates,
when one day a custom house officer
suddenly thrust his probe into the
creatures side The spectators were
Mortified, but the elephant did not APP
pear to feel any pain, while from the
wound fell four tiny barrels Of brandy.
The keeper, considering that q little
extra size in the unwieldy shape Of his
change would not be noticed, had in
cased its stomach in the old skin of a
larger elephant and had filed out the
space with brandy-a very profitable
enterprise.
