MAckEREL FISHERY A FAILURE.
The Worst Season In 40 Years.

GLOUCESTER, November 8. With the
arrival Of the schooner Georgia, Capt.
Sol Jacobs. from North bay mackerel
voyage YESTERDAY, this fishery for 1910
came to an end.
''The worst season in 40 years." said
the redoubtable mackerel killer, when
asked to give his opinion on the years
work. Never have the fish been scarcer
and never has the weather been as
stormy and discouraging, he declared.
Not over three of the vessels Of the 81
that went into the business have made
enough to pay the cook, he further
From the time the first vessel started,
March "a, until the haul-up, hardly flip
of mackerel has been seen. In fact,
eight out of 10 of the vessels scarcely
wet their seine.
The southern mackerel season was the
most absolute failure in years. Not a
single vessel made enough to pay the
water bill. The fleet got away early,
the first one sailing March a. After
getting on the New England shore the
last of May it was hoped to recoup the
situation, but no mackerel showed. Then
many became convinced that there was
no use continuing longer, and about half
the vessels were refitted for the fresh
and salt shore fishery, or Stacking, as it
| is termed, cod, haddock, hake and other
! ground fish being sought.
| Others kept on in the hope the elusive
mackerel would show up. By August
what remained of the fleet determined
! to try their luck in the bay of St. Law
renee. But no better fortune followed.
| OF the fleet of 10 which spent two months
there the aggregate catch was about 500
barrels, an average of so to a vessel.
One hooker, the Margie Smith, went into
the North bay. They, too, had poor luck,
securing about SO barrels of fish.
Hope springs eternal in the breast of
Capt. Jacobs, well named the mackerel
king. He says there were plenty of
thinkers, or this years spawn mackerel,
seen, and that means plenty of fish next
year, he declares. So his face is set
toward the morning.
The catch this year was the lowest in
the history of the business since the rec
ord of the catch of sailed mackerel be-
gan to be kept in $780, In the old hook
ing days the average catch was about
ESQ, 600 barrels sailed fish. The catch of
sailed mackerel of the fleet is about 49,
$50 barrels.
But three or four vessels have paid ex-
penses. The high line of the fleet is

UNDERGROUND WATERS FOR FARM
USE.

The United States Geological Survey
has just issued report by M. 1. Fuller
entitled Underground waters for farm
use." Mr.. Fuller enumerates the vari-
GUS kinds of rocks and deposits that con-
tain and convey underground water, de-
scribes the several types of wells, and
discusses measures for the protection of
springs and wells from pollution. The
report, which is issued as Water Supply
Paper 255, also contains sections on
methods of well boring, the use of els
terms, the divining rod, the advantages
and disadvantages of different kinds of
wells, and the location and cost of wells.
1t covers % pages and is illustrated by
numerous plates and figures.
In, speaking of the divining rod Mr..
Fuller says, ''No appliance, either me-
chanical or electrical, has yet been de-
vised that will detect water in places
where plain common sense will not show
its presence just as well. The useless
ness Of the divining rod is indicated by
the facts that it may be worked at will
by the operator, that he fails to detect
strong water currents in tunnels and
other free courses that afford no surface
indications of water, and that his loca-
tons in regions where water flows in
well-defined channels are no more sue
cessful than mere guesses. In fact, its
operators are successful only in regions
where ground water occurs in definite
sheet in porous material. In such regions
few failures to find water can occur, fol
wells can get water almost anywhere. u
The report can be obtained without
charge by applying to the Director Of
the United States Geological Survey al

Be Kind to the Toad.

A pamphlet recently issued by Secre-
tary Wilson of the Department of Agri-
culture, pays glowing tribute to the
toad. According to this high authority,
few creatures of its size have suffered
more from false witnesses. 1t is not
true that it causes warts, poisons in
fants or spoils cows milk On the con-
trary, it has an amiable disposition, a
good singing voice-for those who like
that sort of thing-and above all, most
commendable industry.
An able-bodied toad eats $19. a whole
sale rates. worth of injurious worms and
insects every season. 1t is a most effici-
ent ultimate consumer, and it likes best
things which the farmer likes least. 1t
is home-loving and very fond of children
its own children. No farmer or suburb
ante should try to get along without a
couple of good toads. Waterman.

rington veteran of the civil war, died

A. Bottoms Co. C, 22nd Maine in '62,

men from Orrington, Brewer, Bradley

children, Mrs. John Hooper of Medford,
Mass, John Bowden of Brockton, Mass,
and Mrs. Rose z. Rogers of Orrington.

THE PINES OF MAINE.

The following, written by Mrs. Eliza
beth Merrill, was sung at the meeting Q
the Maine Federation of Women's club
held in Skowhegan in September an
was adopted as the Federation song:
TuNE-wATcH ON THE RHINE
o pines of Maine. dear pines of Maine,
With thy proud heads uplifted high,
Telling thy tales of days long dead
| To all the woods and streams and sky,
o pines upon Names thousand hills,
Whose perfume scents the restless air,
Whose voices soothe our sleep at night,
Sweet as softly murmured prayer.
Thou art high-born, o pines of Maine!
All nature helped to give thee birth,
Thy father was the sun and wind,
Thy mother, the dark soil of earth.
Then toss thy dark plumed heads on high,
From northern hill unto the sea.
And mingle with thy songs of old,
The songs Of wondrous days to be.
The Indian lover sang his song
Under thy shining roofs of green,
And watched upon the river near
The crimson sunsets glow and sheen.
Here dark-hued mother held her child
Close to her throbbing happy breast,
And crooned the songs of her wild race,
flushing her dusky babe to rest.
o stately green-robed pines of Maine!
o sunlit lakes of shining waves!
happy homes upon our hills!
o cherished spots of loved ones graves!
Though we should wander far away,
And know LIES deepest joy and pain,
We trust that sometime we shall sleep,
Beneath the dear old pines Of Maine.

The Strenuous Farmer.

There is farmer in Trenton township,
Henry county, who works so late at
mig int and so early in the morning that
he has a dashboard lantern on his corn
pillow. On one occasion new man who
was working for him was slow in getting
out the first morning he was there. The
farmer went to the mans room to find
the trouble. There sat the man tanning
his shoes to beat the band with his hat.
He explained to the farmer that he was
trying to get his shoes cool to put on, as
he hadn't been out of them long enough
while he was in bed.-Mt. Pleasant Free

left for some future time. The inscrip-
ton on the tablets have all been drawn

Together they record two centuries of

mittee in charge of this work, that they
will serve to give Castine better appre-
