An PASSPORT correspondent writes:
"a new use was recently discovered
for the former refuse herring heads,
skins, tails, bones and bellies, as they
had long been disposed of at a small
profit to farmers to be used on the
soil. 1t has been demonstrated that
there are nearly 80 gallons of good oil
in every ton of herring refuse, and
worth 20 cents a gallon; so that from
a collection of loo To $50 tons Of
refuse handled By some of the east
ern Maine operators during the win
ter, there is some profit to be secured
from the trimmings of the fish With
the advance of prices on the smoked
herring, however there will be linn
tied supply of the homeless fish for the
balance of the year, although it il
stated that fully 200 tons of the clip
pings from herring have been bought
up by local operator who is figuring
on trying out aout 10000 gallons of
ell this month, but the supply win
then be limited"

A Gardiner man writes: Il have read
how two Bath men devised schemes to
make their hens lay, each having an
idea that by getting the biddies awak
ened very early in the morning they
would get busy, and consequently lay
more eggs. One man installed cleo
trio lgiht. Getting UP very early he
turned on the lights thus making the
hens believe morning had come. The
other fellow sets an alarm clock in his
pen. l would beg leave for space to
say that it takes neither electric lights
nor alarm clocks for my pullets, and
they are only eight hour laborers at
that. Last spring l purchased some
eggs from a famous White Wyandotte
breeder and from a pen of eight pull
let's during the month of Jan, 1914, l
received 155 eggs, one pullet laying IA
days in succession before resting.
While ii might be necessary to use the
alarm clock and electric lights on some
grades of poultry it would be needless
for me to say that they could not en-
ter into this class. | have bred and
raised poultry more or less for several
years and l never had anything that
could compete with this breed for egg
production"

Riaht Where You Are.

(By Elizabeth Powers Merrill)
Right where you are is the place Tor You,
Right where you are today
here in the worlds tumultuous din
mot in land far away.
Give all the force of soul that you nave
Beat on the drums of life,
spirit that warmed the hearts of the past,
still burns within the strife.
Right where you are, yes, right where
YOU are
This is your lawful place;
Stick to your task as bark to the tree
Look work straight in the face.
You're tired to death? WE'LL well, what S
that?
It's better than to shirk,
What has ever been given to you
AS good as honest work?
Right where you are.-work in home, or
field,
In business, church. or law.
You Will behold as wonderful sights
AS ever prophet saw,
Never world where skies are so blue,
Never day so great.
The past has brought all her giant gifts
Take them, and mould your fate
Right where you are (there is no else
where)
Here is the ground for you.
Lift up Your head and look all about.
See what you find To do.
God in your soul is mightier far
Than what can Come or Go,
The man who does as we'll as he can
Will find his heaven below.

Not for a long time has such ex-
citement been created in fishing cir
cles as now exists owing to the open
war being waged by the gill METERS
and beam trawlers along the coasts of
New Hampshire and Massachusetts.
Angered by the action of the gill net
ters in invading the grounds which
have until recently been tished exclu-
sively by the trawlers the latter, it is
claimed, have taken summary means
to drive the meters off or back in
shore, nets of the former having been
underrun and despoiled of catch and
their buoys also cut away, the loss of
some OF the fishing vessels having
been very severe. Heavy rewards are
offered for evidence to convict and
further trouble is feared.
