Two days more of the moose season
| in Maine Under the laws of the
State, the open time for this big game
runs from October Is to December l,
and after tomorrow at midnight, there
will be no further chance to stock up
dining-rooms and dens with the noble
head of the king of the woods. AS the
season nearS its end, the number OF
sportsmen in the forest is increasing
and the general returns show decid-
ed tendency to grow. 1t is thought

Says a writer from Kittery in the
| Biddeford Journal: 1T is now certain
that the brown tail moths have spread
nearly over the entire town, for the
bare limbs of the trees give unmistak-
able evidence of the pest in great num-
bers in every direction. Unless there
is to be some decided and thorough
work of determination the ravages of
the insect another year promise to be
something fierce. Those who make
study of the matter insist that the
public should appreciate what danger
there is to their orchards by the APP
pearance of the moths. The State has
spent about $50 SO far in this section,
but the limited amount of the appro-
priation made it impossible to secure
effective results in the clearing of the
trees of the nests"
