PORGiES RETURN.
A Welcome Outfit Being Found Off
Our Maine Coast.

Boothhay Harbor. Me-, Sept. 10
ITwenty-five years ago the porgy bust
fIess'1n Boothbay Harbor and vicinity
was considered dead. Many said the
porgies would never return and in fact
they have seldom been seen from that
Eeriod Until this summer. During the
PAST few weeks the water has been
tcamiEg with them, and it is said they
are mere plentiful than ever What
las brought them back nobody knows.
Years ago the pOrgX business was
the principal industry OF Boothbay ana
vioinityi There were many porgy fac
tories along these shores and up Line
kin bay and over toward Pemaquid,
but none are left standing. The las
Gle was demolished year age. Now

About three weeks ago the little fish

at thu mouth of the kennebee river.
Then they began to work their way TO
the eastward until they are now about
Monhagan island. They are Of good
size and are being caught by great
cargo lets at time. Porgy steam-
ers have been in here this Week and
also in Johns bay and have taken on
great loads for factories at Tiverton,
II. L., or Promised Land. AS soon as
one vessel leaves another comes.
During the past week the fish have
been swarining off Pemaquid point.
Other schools have been caught in
Muscongus hay and taken 10 Round
Pond, where there is talk of opening
a factory.
AL kinds of steam and sailing craft
have been engaging in the porgy bus
mess during the past week. those who
are in it temporarily selling to the
large steamers. The new floating fac
tory steamer Mills is expected along
soon, which viii save the trips down
to Rhode Island. Sould these fish
be found here again next year tits
quite likely several factories will be
built.
1t is figured that 10 barrels of the
fish are necessary to produce one bar
rol ef oil and that from what is left
90 barrels are required to produce one
ton of fertilizer. Both these products
are in constant demand. so there is
always a coed market for the fish.

GUINEA PIGS.
Have Demonstrated An Ability tx
Supply Place of Lawn Mowers.

a curious experiment is being made on
a number of private lawns in Kent and
is about to be tried by golf club in the
neiehborhood of Greenhithe. The idea is
the novel one of substituting the guinea
pig for the moving machine and the
weed killer.
Around the lawn is arranged a low
wire barrier and into the inelosure are
turned a number of guinea pigs; or bet
ter passage is made from their hutch
to the lawn. The animals at once attack
all the worst weeds-the plantains first.
then the dandelions and daisies. These
broad-leayed plants which no moving
machine will touch are killed by the per-
sistent cutting of the guinea pigs teeth
When they have finished the weeds
which are broad-leayed and succuent.
they proceed To the grass. In a short
time the lawn looks as il ii had been cut
by the closest machine. The persistent
cutting of the leaves kills the weeds,
which can stand almost any other treat
ment, but does no harm to the grass.
One lawn. formerly q mass Of weeds,
has been made To grow nothing, but the
finer grasses. Another is still under pro-
cess Of treatment The half of it in
which the guinea pigs were first set 10
work has been cut quite even and very
close. For goling il is as fast again as
1t was under the administration of the
moving machine, and not a weed is visi
Bile. The other half, where the animals
have Just been turned loose, is a mass
of dandelions
1t has been found that the guinea pigs
do not suffer at all by being LEFT to work
IN winter as well as in summer. Indeed,
they are healthier than under the usual
treatm of those who keep them as
pets. An astonishing demand for the ami
mails has grown up in the neighborhood,
and if the inland golf clubs, which have
great difficulties with plantains. take to
the new method, the guinea pig popula-
ton is likely to go up in the proportion
