More Grain.

Much attention has been given to
stock matters the past winter through
the several breeders organizations that
have been put into work in different
parts of the state, and it cannot be that
other than substantial results will come
out of these organizations; it is hne
thing to multiply good cattle, and we
want to see it done to the farthest limit
possible. There is not the least danger
that too many of that kind can be pro.
duced. But now there Is call for feed.
Scarce pound of hay will be left in the
state at the close of the feeding season,
aud grain We are always out Of.
We want to see an effort put forth TO
raise this year large part of the grain
needed for our stock the coming year.
1t will take special effort to do it, but
il the effort is put forth the grain will
be coming. Now is the time that 1t
must be started. All hands know that
but a small part of the grain needed and
fed in our state in the past few years has
been grown by those who have used 1t.
They also know that grain is costing
higher than formerly, and that there is
every promise that the higher cost is
quite sure to continue through the com
ing year. More than ever will the stock
of grain be needed during that time.
We have the land on which 1t can be
grown, and all that is called for is to 60
to work and do II. The season Is open
ing early to give the time to do 1t 80
there appears nothing in the way OF
pushing the work to finish. Some are
doing it. How many will follow and
raise the corn and grain needed in the
year to come? Try it.-Maine Farmer.

BUSINESS at State College Farm.

In the business conduct OF the Col.
lege of Agriculture at the University OF
Maine the different departments are
maintained independently OF each other
aud whatever is consumed by depart.
ment is paid for by 1t. The products OF
the soil fed to the dairy stock, for In
stance, are paid for by the department
of animal industry and on the other
hand the dressing used on the land Is
settled for by the department OF sgrono-
my.
In addition to the land occupied by
the institution q farm Of 100 odd acres
situated in Saltwater was acquired 9
little over year ago and was cropped
by the College of Agriculture last year
for the first time, the plan as formulated
by the former owner being generally
carried out. Beets, ruta-bagas and
beans we're raised. Tho hay land was
left as found. All roughage raised wa
consumed by the college live stock.

ferent crops will be used. There 10 also
great need of enlightenment OF the sol

account will be kept With each field the
whole season and at harvest time the
profit with which each crop Is grown
will be learned. A limited amount o.

LAND CRABS.

Queer Creatures That Roam In For.

One Of the commonest and the lar
gest Of the Christmas island land crabs
Is the we'll known robber crab, which
Is found In most of the tropical Islands
of the Indian and Pacific oceans. 1t
sometimes reaches length OF two feet
and may measure seven Inches across
the back. Its colors are Of very
gaudy description, the ground color be-
ing a bright red. upon which there are
stripes Of yellow. but In some cases a
purplsh blue is the prevailing tint
The eyes are fixed on stalks which
can be moved Independently OF one an
other, and there are two pairs Of feel.
ers, one long, the other short. The lat
ter pair are continually jerked up sIs'
down. There Is pair Of powerful
claws, then several walking legs. In
general appearance these animals are
much more like rather stout Holsters
than crabs, and ones 6rst encounter
with one Of these creatures In the mid.
die of a forest far from the sea Is pro-
ductive Of much establishment on both
sides.
Another species Of land crab COM
mon In Christmas island Is little
bright red animal which In general

crab. This variety makes burrows In
the ground. and In some places the
soil is honeycombed with hundreds or
holes. The crabs spend most OF their
time collecting dead leaves, which they
carry In their claws. holding them up
over their heads and drag down Into
their burrows. into which they scutas

Walk Down Fleet Street.
The wit and wisdom Of that great
man DR.. johnson were Of the sledge-
hammer order and invariably preceded
by "sir," SO that n Is comparatively
easy for any one who has acquired the
trick to invent a retort or remark IN
the Johnsonian style One OF the most
effective of these pseudo sayings OF
the doctor Is. "And now. SIR" said
DIR. johnson, I'VE will take q walk
down Fleet street" There can be but
little doubt that DR.. johnson did make
this remark. for he was always walk
ing down Fleet street. but 1t Is not
recorded that he did so. The saying Is
due to George Augustus Sala. who
when the magazine Temple Bar was
being started by Mr. Maxwell imag'
ined a quotation from Boswell as
motto for the venture. The thing was
intended as joke, but for a long
while II was absolutely believed to be
a quotation from Boswell. and per-
haps there are still some who would
say unhesitatingly that Or. Johnson
did say the words. so seemingly au'
thentic are they. However. Sala him.
self always acknowledged that he In
vented the phrase and added that to
the best Of his knowledge and belief
Or. Johnson had never said WORD
about taking a walk down Fleet
street. There are other legends about
