The American Farmers Year.

The Journal has received from WASH
ington the advance sheets of the an
nual report of Secretary James Wilson
of the department of agriculture. Mr..
Wilson has had remarkably long term
of service in his present office as he
was a member of President Mckinley
first cabinet, being appointed March S,
1897, to the post where he has since
been retained and where he has done
such splendid service for the great
agricultural interests of the country.
Under his administration the depart
ment has rapidly increased in influence
and the scope of it's usefulness has peeli
vastly extended. In each OF MS all
nuaI reports it has been his good loi-
tune to be able to tell of most pros
porous year enjoyed by the American
far,ner but no wear has been the equal
Of the year now ending. A. this
THANKSGIVING season the report is most
timely reading, though its facts and
figures are Oh Il SCilC tiioI - hAio "
GRASP.
The past year, the secretary declares.
is the most remarkable year in the
most remarkable series of years that
has come to the farmers of any coun-
try in the annals of the worlds agri-
culture. Production has been un-
euualled, and its value has reached the
highest hgureyet attained-$6, Ais, 900 900.
Every day American farms are increas-
ing 3,4Ou, 900 in value. Corn reached its
highest production, 2,7OS, 900, 900 bushels,
valued 1T sl.216, OOO,GOO king Cotton
was dethroned by the hay crop, which
took second place in the list of crops.
The farmer, the Secretary says, has
changed the nation from a borrower
into a lender, and has saved more
money than the banks know what to
do with. The farm value of the crops
of the United States for 1905 is thus
estimated:

nounccmcnt that he will decline to ac-
ccpt any invitations to dinners and
public functions. AS he is said to re-

Down around Chesapeake Bay they
are much aroused over the disclosures
regarding what is little less than a
system Of slavery among the oyster
fishermen. Many cases are being
brought to light where men have been
forced on board of oyster boats
shanghaied, to Use the common sea
terEl-and forced under blows of clubs
and whips to work at the tasks as
signed to them. OF course, with such
treatment there was also insufficient
food. clothing and shelter, and num-
Der of cases are being Investigated
where the victims were literally worked
to death In the most brutal fashion. 1t
is Il horrible tale to be told in this free
country in the Goth century and it is
not to be wondered at that intense
public feeling has been aroused against
the men guilty of such business.

William Cooper, taXid,.fnst ANA
sportsman of Milo, informs the Bangor
News that great snowy owl was shot
near Milo on November -. and was left
to be mounted. So far as the orni-
thologist of the News can recall this is
the very earliest date that a bird of
this kind has been known to visit
Maine. When we hear of snowy owls
as early as December we at once con-
jucture that cold weather has set in at
the far north earlier than usual. Most
of the birds of this species seen in
Maine are found in February by which
time they are very lean and hungry,
and SO fearless that they have been
known to'light in a farmyard and at
