OPPOSITION TO CLOSED
TIME ON WILD BEES

VI the measures taken up Wednes-
DAY afternoon before the committee
on agriculture, only one was opposed.
the act to prohibit the hunting, TAX
ing or killing of wild bees for a per-
lod or five years. To this act. bee
keepers put in a strong protest and
the question was threshed out at
some length.
Hon. +, P. Washburn, commission
or OF agriculture, told of the need of
an appropriation of $4,000, for each of
the next two years for the annual dis
play OF agricultural products and re-
sources OF the State of Maine at the
Eastern States Exposition at Spring.
field. Mass. He stated that the sum
provided for this exhibit had general
~ been taken partially from the APP
preparations in the marketing and in
| stitute divisions Of the State De-
partment Of Agriculture, but with the
increased work Of these divisions the
money cannot now be taken from
these appropriations. He showed
that the businesslike way to take
care OF this worthy exhibit is by a
special resolve.
There were no speakers in opposi-
ton. -
DR.: H. NJ. Tucker. chief Of the d.
vision OF animal industry of the De-
partment Of Agriculture, was the
| only one who appeared on the meas
ure which provides for the testing of
cattle by a veterinary approved by
| the Federal Bureau Of Animal Indus
try before cattle are shipped into the
State. DIR. Tucker said that this
| change recommended simply makes
the State law comply with the Fed
eral law.
Act to Prohibit Hunting Of Wild Bees
Representative NJ. 3. Hobbs Of
Hope spoke in behalf Of the act he
has introduced in the Legislature to
prohibit the hunting, taking or kill
ing Of wild bees for a. term Of five
years. He said that the bees had a
lot to do with the fertilizing Of vege-
tables, fruit and flowers and if it was
| not for the bees fertilization would
be almost impossible.
| Fred w. Lee Of Augusta appearing
! in opposition read a letter from G.
A. Yeaton. secretary Of the Bee
keepers Association Of Maine, in
which the writer had referred to wild
bees as a carrier of bee disease.
+. l.. Mason Of Mechanic Falls ex-
pressed the belief that in advocating
this bill. the fruit growers were de-
1eatlng their own purpose. He said
that the large percentage Of the bees
| who go into the. woods die in the
winter. and those that do come out
in the spring are so weak they can
not amount to much for the fruit in
terests. 1.-THE fruit growers would be
more benehtted by the taking up Of
these wild bees in. winter" he said.
Foul brood disease is transmitted by
bees on the farms visiting the colon
les of weak bees in the woods and
taking the infected honey.
Statements along the same line Of
argument were made by L. w. Long
fellow OF Hallowell, H. w. Matthews,
secretary Of the Penobscot Bee keep-
ers' Association, C. H. Shaw Of Au-
burn. Representative Winslow Of
Raymond and Representative Brett
Of Otisfield. @
At the close Of the hearing, Frank
Longfellow Of Hallowell' brought a
laugh from the audience by his state
ment that all other classes Of people
except farmers are parasites for the
farmer feeds them ALL

Rights Of the Dog
Rep. Harry Lord of South Port
land opened the hearing for the bill
introduced by him amending the
dog law SO that only regularly
constituted officer of the law can
kill a dog and then without a war;
rant or order OF court only when
they actually caught the dog doing
something In violation Of the law.
The present law, declared Rep.
Lord. does not give the dog or his
owner a square deal. Owners paid
a license; il it wasn't enough they
were willing to pay more.
Dogs which were kept by most
men would not run deer. They were
kept for running foxes and rabbits
and II they would run deer were
worthless for those purposes. He
felt that there should be some pro-
lection to the dog.
Rep. Greenleaf of Auburn spoke
In favor of the dog. as a dog own
err annd one who had had dog shot
unwarrantedly. Judge Benjamin
Blanchard of Bangor spoke for the
bill on behalf of an East Corinth
client, who had had two dogs shot
when there was no occasion for it.
Mr.. Waterman told of a case where
dog doing no harm. which CHANGED
TO be in a Readfield sheep pasture
was shot.
Mr.. Rogers speaking in opposition
TO the bill said that he would be for
II II they would make it so that any
Dog caught running rabbits and
other animals in closed time could
be killed. He had, not killed a dog
IN ~ years and hoped he never
would have to kill another. but he
came near 1t last summer. He spent
a lot OF time driving dogs chasing
deer and rabbits out Of his pasture
and then took his gun and went
down determined to shoot every dog
which appeared. but. he added, there
were no more dogs showed I'D.
Keep your dogs at home until the
nrst of November. he said, and
everything will be all right.
You men who go out huntine
foxes before the first of November
ought to be ashamed of yourselves
declared Mr.. Rogers. There isn't a
foXr pelt prime before that time.

Insisted on "Divine Right"

In the days Of Ben Franklin the
lightning rod was thought essential
to the protection of private and pub
lie buildings. -.
George III Of England. about the
time of the Revolution in America,
decided to protect Kew palace with
this Yankee continuance, but out OF
luminosity. towards the Americans, he
determined that the lightning rods
should have blunt knobs instead OF
sharp points. Franklin. the inventor,
had directed that the points should
be sharp. so that an oyercharge OF
electricity might be dispersed silent
ly and without explosion. w. = =.
The question of sharp or blunt
lightning rods became court GEES

king and their opponents with
Franklin. The king asked Sir John
Pringle to take. his side . and: give
him an opinion in favor of the knobs.
To which Pringle replied that the
