The Maine Lobster Hatchery.

Half billion Holsters will be the number matched at the government station at Boothbay Harbor for the present year. It is hughe figure, big ger than most people can realize. It will also mark a record for the num- Der of shellfish brought to life at the government place.
 At the present time there are at the Boothbay hatchery 13,529 seed Holsters from which eggs will be secured Never before in the eight years the hatchery has been running have there been so many Holsters at the place by the first of October. The season for collecting the seeders is not yet over by any means.
 Usually it has extended way into the spring of the year, so that it is safe to say that fully tWo-thirds as many Holsters as have already been collected will be added to the number on hand. The average number of eggs secured from the mother lobster is 10000. The percentage of fertility of these as they are matched at the government station is so high that it is safe to say that practically all of them will be matched.
 Reckoning on this basis, the number of OAeders now at the hatchery will ] produce 270,000 y9o0 Holsters. The num- Der yet to be collected will very near l ly total up to 50a,000y000, so that it | will be safe to call the output a half l billion.-KenAebec Journal.
