The Return of the Porqy.

1t is reported that the porgies on
Menhaden are working back toward
the Maine coast. and that little later
the fish will be plenty, even more so
than last season when they made
their appearance on the coast after an
absence of many years. The evidence
of their coming was shown few
mornings ago, by the presence at
Round Pond of eight big steamers
with full cargoes of the fish. During
the 70st, when the business was in its
palmy days, there were 40 porgy fac
tories along the Maine coast. several
of them being located at Boothbay
harbor, but the only one now operat-
ing is the factory at Round Pond, and
it is there that the cargoes of the
eight steamers will be taken out. The
fish have been schooling heavily at
Boston bay during the past week. and
all of the fish Caught there will be un-
loaded at Round Pond instead OF be-
ing taken to the refineries at Green
port, l.. T., and Primised Land. There
are in the fleet over 80 steamers, and
all have been doing a big business,
this season since the first catches
were made, near the Virginia capes.
Connected with the fleet is large
steamer which has been converted into
a floating porgy factory, which will be
anchored at Round Pond and operated
in connection with the shore factory.
The porgy business along this section
of the coast is row conducted by the

Maine Central Improves Service.

That the Maine Central Railroad

be avoided is evidenced by the pur-

some folks think differently. for over

now accusing him of having stolen
clotning from a scarecrow. A man
who is said in some ways resembled
the description of Snow, passed
through the village of Hope, last Fri
day, and one woman at whose house
he called recognized the coat he wore
as one that mad been in use on a

Housing the Hog.

There is no animal on the farm
which requires better protection from
cold than the hog; none for which a
good bed is more necessary; and none
so much in need of sunshine as the
little pig.
The horse and the COW have good
coats of hair. even a calf or a colt
when left in the cold is provided with
a good fur coat the hens feathers are
the best of protection against cold,
but the hog has almost nothing be-
tween his skin and the weather.
One of the first requisites for sue
cess with hogs is a shelter where
young pigs can be kept warm and well
supplied with sunshine and fresh air.
A little pig takes cold very easily and
RECEIVERS slowly if at all. To prevent
taking cold he must be kept dry. warm,
away from drafts, and provided with
fresh air.
On the average, the hog house is
the poorest building on the farm and
the least adapted to the purpose for
which it was intended. Good barns
may be seen on large proportion of
the farms. but good hog houses are
generally hard to find. II is economy
to put up first the buildings that Will
help most to make money. A large
portion of the farmers recognize this
and build good barn before putting
up good house, saying. THE barn
will help build the house, but the
house will never help build the barn.
This principle seems to be lost sight
of when it comes to the hog house, yet
no other building on the farm pays
for itself so quickly. Unpublished
data collected by the writer shows
that good hog men average about
seven pigs raised to the litter ana
many surpass this record The same
data indicates that the general aver
age raised on the farm does not ex-
coed four pigs tosthe litter This wide
difference is very largely due to the
housing. Many houses which cost
enough to be good are thoroughly unfit
for the purpose because the sun can
not shine into the pens. Nearly every
large hog house is deficient in either
sunshine or ventilation, or in both.
The variety of hog houses is almost
as great as the variety of individuals
using them. 1t is rare. indeed, to find

that Republican Legislature had pro-
yftied a five mills tax that would be-
come available in 1911, They knew
that this increased tax rate was caleu-

improvements.
But what did the Democratic Legis-
