Mr. Mayman has 40 acres of

Heirvest crabs are being picked
now and are retailing at $1.00
per bushel.
The berry season this summer

quarts of raspberries and 1000
quarts qf strawberries. He

PORKER SELLS
FOR $42.35.
Albert Longfellow, superintendent of the M. M. Williams
farm, brough in one of the
farm's porkers Tuesday and got
the neat sum of $42.35 for it.
The hog, which is a Yorkshire,
weighed 605 pounds.
It was 4 years old and had
during its short life time produced for the farm 83 pigs in
six litters. If the pigs from
these litters had been marketed
at the age of one year, Mr.
Longfellow estimates that they
would bring the sum of §2,656.
This sum is based on each pig
at the age of one year weighing
400 pounds, which weight has
been attained by them at the
farm in the past. The present
price of pork is7c.—Transcript.

Warden Gets Two Poachers.
Two Royalton hunters had
no idea that Game Warden
George Emder would be so far

surprised when the warden
stepped out of a cornfield in
Buckman town after each had
dropped a bird. The sooners,
Geo. Armstrong and Dr. L. B.
Mallette, were so close to Emder
and a companion that they were
easily rounded up. They promised to appear in Little Falls
Monday morning and were released.
Monday they pleaded guilty
before Justice Gaudet and were
fined §10 and cost each.
