Poultry in Montana.

At the semi-monthly meeting of the Bangor
Poultry association last Friday evening, Will
liam F. Schoppe, assistant professor of animal
industry at the University of Maine, gave
very interesting talk on Poultry Husband1y in
Montana. The Bangor Commercial says:
Before coming to the University of Maine
last year, Prof. Schoppe was for two years
connected with the government experiment
station in Montana, so that his talk was based
on information gained first hand and it proved
to be highly interesting and profitable even.
ing.
Last year the Montana State government
gave $1,500 towards poultry husbandry, the
amount to be divided between the shows and
for the publication of bulletins which would
acquaint the poultrymen of the State with the
latest advances in the industry. One of Prof
Schoppe's duties while connected with the
station was to breed for eggs and distribute
the birds among the farmers SO that they
might improve their farm stock.
Prices are high in M .ntana, eggs selling
and dressed poultry from 20 to rs cents per
pound. The western part of the State is best
for poultry raising, due to the Pacific wind,
which is warm and conducive to breeding.
During 1910 Montana imported three million
dozens Of eggs and one million pounds of
dressed poultry.
Prof. Schoppe devoted much time to incu-
baton in connection with the department at
Washington, concerning which bulletin will
be published soon.

open and the steamer Millinocket sailed from
there for New York, going down the eastern
bay. The steamers Golden Rod and Anna
Belle on the Castine and Islesboro route had
to give up their trips, and the Stockton on the
Bucksport and Camden route now goes via the
eastern bay. touching at Castine. The mail
carrier from Islesboro crossed on the ice to
Saturday Cove Monday, but hauled a boat
along as a precaution. The last freeze-up
was in the winters of 19O4-5; and in 1875 the
bay was frozen over to the outer islands and
people came from Vinalhaven on the ice.
Yesterday it was reported that the ice had
gone out below Saturday Cove and it is hoped
to ihave the cutter Androscoggin here soon
to break out the ice above. The Belfast will
