SHIPPING ITEMS. Among the naval vessels
to be sold by the government to the highest
bidders, because no longer suited to the ser
vice, is the old wooden schooner Eagre, for
merly the yacht Mohawk, built in New York in
1874. This vessel is 100 feet long and 80 feet
beam, and has displacement of PTS tons. For
many years she was employed in surveying
work under the geodetic survey, and was
acquired by the navy in 1908. The Eagre was
at this port once or twice when in the survey
service. When yacht, and owned by Commo-
dore Garner of the New York Yacht club, she
was capsized in New York harbor and some of
the owners family were drowned. She was at
anchor with all sails set and was struck by
sudden squall. Sch. Northern Light of
Southwest Harbor arrived last week to go on
Gichrest's marine railway for repairs. She was
built at fremont, Me-, in 1865 and is 116 tons
net. Sch. Anne Ainslie is loading cut stone

Works dock. Sch. William Bisbee has char
tered to load cut granite at Bucks Harbor,

went ashore at Sullivan in a fog and her keel
| is gone and she sustained other damage. 800.

The Ferguson POULTRY FARM. Since a
Journal representative visited the poultry
farm of Mr.. Alfred M. Ferguson on Northport
avenue some months ago Mr.. F. has carried
out the plans he had then formed and has
doubled the capacity of his plant. The brooder
house had then been completed, its hot water
heaters doing away with the use OF kerosene
lamps. This house is at right angles with the
original poultry house and little distance
from it. In this space Mr.. Ferguson has erec-
ted two-story central building connecting
the two buildings and has built wing on the
westerly end, making the total length of the
poultry houses and central building over 500
feet. The platform suspended from an over
head track on which feed is carried to the pens
| and the eggs gathered runs the entire length
of the buildings On the second floor of the
central building two bins, of two tons ca
pacity each, for feed, which is delivered
through chutes to the floor below. An eleva-
tor takes the grain from the first floor to tie
bins. A room on the second floor is to be used
in killing the fowls for market, and Monday
MIR. Ferguson had an expert arrive to kill those
he had sold to Fogg & Coombs for their
Thanksgiving trade. They have been kept in
a pen by themselves. In another pen are
those kept for mark citing later. Mr.. Fergusons
working stock numbers about 1900. He says
they had been laying well until the past four
weeks when the egg production fell off some
what. If any hens should lay these should, as
they are cared for and fed on the most APP
proved plans. They have comfortable houses
large runs for exercise, good ventilation and
the best of feed. The whole farm was under
cultivation this year and large quantities of
grain were raised, as we'll as cabbages and
other vegetables. The hens furnished all the
fertilizer needed. AS a by-product of his
poultry farm Mr.. Ferguson has five tons of
Hubbard squash which he will market later.
He is keeping them overhead in the brooder
house and runs the heater to keep them from
being chilled He got 10 barrels of apples this
year from the rejuvenated old trees in the Or
chards, where he has his chicken houses, and
has set out number of young trees in the
poultry runs that will come into bearing later
| Another season he will build additional chick
en- houses, and the chickens having the run of
the orchard destroy insects and fertilize the
ground as well.
Nature makes the cures
after all.
Now and then she gets
into a tight place and
needs helping out.
