CULTIVATION OF OYSTERS.
Comm ssioner Donahue Makes Investi
cations Along Maine Coast.

Hon. James DOnahue of Ro7.kland,
commissioner of sea and shore fish
cries, informs Journal reporter that
the matter Of the cultivation of oys-
tiers Is at the present time one of the
most interesting problems engaging
the attention of the. sea and shore
fisheries department Il have been
making extensive examinations for
the past few weeks in different Sec
tons of the water front of the State
to ascertain if the conditions of the
bottom of the bays and rivers are suit
able for oyster planting as | have two
parties now located in the oyster bust
ness in Rhode Island and Connecticut.
who are anxious to come to this State
to plant and propagate oysters on a
large scale. said Mir Donahue.
The parties of whom Mr. Donahue
speaks require about thousand acres
of gravelly or sandy bottom free from
eel grass. kelps. or other such marine
growths with from six to 20 feet of
water over them at low water and
naturally desire locations that are
convenient To shipping points Ex-
aminations thus far have shown
while there are numerous small patch
es If suitable bottom it is hard To
find a large area in desired location
The Maine coast is q rocky and rug
ged coast and in most sections the
banks are shores which pitch off very
quickly. making the water too deep for
oyster culture when but short dis
tanee from the land.
Mr. Donahue gives assurance that
the department viii continue the eX
animation. as he is very anxious to
have these expert oyster growers come
to this State. as they would plant on
a large scale. planting about 500 bush
els of seed oysters to tho acre. Other
dealers are also ready to come to
Maine If the proper locations and con-
ditions can be secured. Il intend to
use every effort to find suitable loca-
tons If possible. as the addition of
the oyster business to the sea and
shore fishery department would he of
great benefit to the people OF this
State" declares Mr., Donahue.

FRENCH MILK
POWDER PROCESS
Article Produced Found by Anal y
sis to Contain All of Con.
stituents of MIR
Except Water.

The processes currently employed
for making milk powder are based
upon desiccation by heat In a pro-
cess recently devised in France by Le-
comte and Lainville the action OF cold
is substituted for that OF heat. The
milk is poured into vessels similar TO
those which are used for producing
blocks of artificial ice. and is cooled
to a few degrees below the freezing
point tabout 2S.5 deg. F.. Suitable
precautions are taken to prevent the
water of the milk from freezing in a
solid mass and to cause 1t to assume
the form OF fine snow. The CONCEALED
milk is then placed in a centrifugal
separator which revolves very rapidly.
The snow crystals remain in the ma
chine while the other parts OF the
milk are expelled in the form of the
soft. greasy paste. which still con-
tains some water The desiccation Is
completed by placing the paste In q
drying room heated to moderate and
uniform temperature. The milk pow
der thus produced has been proved by
analysis 10 contain all OF the consti.
tuents OF the milk. except the water.
in an unaltered condition. The pro-
cess is equally applicable TO whole
milk, and TO milk deprived OF part or
all Of its cream.

dangerous time is in July and August
which are usually droughty periods.
when the grass is short and flies are
bad. We are finding out that by
having a summer silo we can provide
pasture out OF the silo until the rains
come in the fall.
Some OF the readers may shake
their heads at this, but we are telling
them agricultural gospel truth. They
may say: While we often have these
dry periods in July and August. we do
not always have them. Some years
we have excellent pastures. True, but
your silage will keep almost as well
as the fruit your wife keeps over from
a year Of abundance to a year OF want
Last year we fed on one Of the farms
belonging TO the Wallace family silage
that was two years old. Apparently 1t
was just as good as the year 1t was
made.
Why do we talk about It now? Be
cause. If you are going to have a silo

use, you ought to be thinking about
It; not about the building OF it or the
cost OF IL, although IT is worthy Of
thought, but where you will plant

what kind OF silage you want, whether
rich with corn or scant in corn. You
can determine that by the thickness
of planting. II you want si.age rich
in corn to fatten steers. you want TO
plant II as you do for the market-.-for
the maximum OF ears: but II you want
It TO feed to the dairy cows and want

The main reason we are talking
about II now is because TO put up a
silo and use 1t economically you want
TO enlist the cooperation OF your
neighbors. The same silage cutter
and the same power will answer for
two neighbors anyhow. and frequently
three. but not more. Have you not a

The Waist Line.

Though the waist line is less yer,
satile than II used to be, and is more
and more inclined to assume the con.
ventional position. the empire effect
is still to be seen Foe reception and
dancing gowns It is ghaceful. and the
soft outline II gives to the figure is
delisltfully picturesque. But for the
street all this is out OF place; It gives
the wearer a silhouette that is un-
tidy. and suggests a looseness that Is
altogether Objectionable. In regard
also TO evening gowns the same fault
may be found. So long as a toilette
is TO be worn chiefly while walking or
standing, the short waist is permissi.
ble-even desirable-but for a din.
ner. concert or theater It is no longer
so. The bust unconfined falls out OF
shape. and the figure cut is most un.
attractive-and II Is the realization OF
this fact that has led To- so many OF
the newest evening fodices being
made with swathed draperies and
close fitting lines.
