Decay Of tho Whale Fishery.

Twenty-Five years ago, in May,
1916, the Norwich Bulletin says there
were 1872 vessels engaged in the
whale fishery from the United States.
Two hundred and fifty-three were
owed in New Bedford, Mass, and n
in New London. The whole fleet is
re luced to 27S, of which Is are in
port. New Bedford has only III,
and New London only 20. Twenty
five years ago there were 26 ships en-
gagged in the whale fishery from Ston-
ington, II from Mystic, and So from
Sag harbor. In 1916 the vessels en-
ployed were generally Of much larg-
or size than those now in the fishery,
and including Greenport and some
other smaller places bordering on the
Sound, there was more whaling ton.
mage in New Londsn and vicinity
than can now be counted in the en-
tire feet Of American vessels. The
present year is one of great depres.
sion in the business. Ofthe 40 YES
sells now in port in New Bedford, it
is said that only four are rsfitting,
and of the twelve in port, here only
two arc preparing for new voyages.
The low price ruling for both sperm
and whale oil hold out small induce
ments to enter upon new a~dveEadres.
We learn that the cargoes Which,
have arrived here this year are gen.
still on hand, The whale fish,
cry has been called the nursery of
seamen, and the decline of
this business is doubtless one reason
why seam On are now found to DO so
scarce to the merchant service.

Preparing Grain for Bread.

There have been msnv WAYS proposed
for modifying or s~upcrseding the prac-
tice Of grinding grain Into the -four for
bread making. One Of these, q French
Invention, consisted In first removing
The bran or hull, soaking the grain UNI
til thoroughly softcncd and then mash
Ing It to the condition Of dough; this
mingled with the usual Ingredients,
being nodded ct once into loayes, and
transferred to the oven. A Mr.. Carr,
Of Bristol, England, has invented q
method OF making flour without grind
ing. lie feeds the grain into case con-
tanning q number OF revolving heaters,
which strike the grain before 1t reaches
the bottom, and fractures 1t fine. Tho
pulverized grain or flour. Is carried to
the boiling apparatus by an endless
belt in the lower part Of the machine.
Another plan Of preparing grain for
Touring is TO remove the hull without
crushing the kernel. This Is done by
running the grain between mill-stones
set Just far enough apart to rub the sur
face Of the grain while passing through.
The grain thus stripped Of Its silliceous
outer coating Is then ground. and con-
siderable gain of flour Is claimed for
the process, although 1t has not met
with much favor from the millers, pro-
baby owing to some practical diff
entity.

Work the Corn.

Now that our section has again
been blessed with scasonaDlc wealth
or, and our farmers have spent many
q weary day in preparing the ground
and planting the seed, n few sugges-
lions rs to how to make oil their
outlay of labor remunerativc, arc
cmincntly proper. The writer some
times thinks that the curse "ln the
the sweat Of thy brow shalt thou eat
bread" has q peculiar force when APP
piled to corn raising. Experience
teaches that without labor the corn
won't grow. No matter how rich
the soil or how good the seed, moth
ing but labor will make corn. But
then Oh the other hand Providence
has especially blessed the corn far
mcr. The wheat may rust, the oats
may freeze out, but seldom, If ever,
does the corn fail when the farmer
does his dut Y.
A fair crop, in this latitude, may
be insured if the grass and weeds are
kent out Of ii by cultivation. Don't
wait for them to get the start, but
keep them under. AS soon as the
corn is fairly up start the cultivators
and stir the ground as often as is nee.
essary to keep down the weeds and
grass. The killing Of the weeds Is
not the only benefit desired, and
even if there were no weeds,
frequently stirring the ground will
pay for the labor; especially Is this
true, should tie season prove q dry
one. Keeping the ground loose
enables il to collect more moisture
from the atmosphere, and we have
often seen a field Of corn with the
blades rolled up, refreshed by run
ming u plow between the rows, as
though a shower had fallen. Two or
three days work to the acre will
double the yield Of corn. Nothing
pays better than this. Don't UNDER
take to corr too much ground; bet
ter to do a part well than to slight the
whole crop. About the time the
cars set, give it a good blowing, it
will add onc-half to the length of
the cars, they will fill better and the
grain will be heavier. Our advice
is, don't under any circumstances ne
glcct the corn, keep it growing, no
matter what the emergency, give it
q fair chance and a bountiful return
may be relied ON.

And when viii the common sense APP

Fruit Cultnrc...Old Errors Corrected.

/. Instead of wrimming up" trees,
according to the old fashion, to make
them long-lcggcd and long-armcd,
trim them dorm, SO as to make them
even, snug and symmetrical.
3. Instead of manuring heavily in
q small circle at the foot of the tree,
spread the manure, if needed OF all,
broadcast over the whole surface.
3. Instead ofspading a small circle
about the stem, cultivate the whole
surface broadcast.
4. Prefer q we'll pulvcrized clean
surface in an orchard with a mOder-
ately rich soil, to heavy manuring,
and surface covered with hard crust
and weeds or grass.
5. Remember that it Is better 10 set
out ten trees with all the necessary
care to make them live and flourish,
than to set out q hundred trees and
have them all die from carelessness.
6. Remember that tobacco is a poi
son, and will kill insects rapidly, it
properly applied to them, and is one
of the best drugs for freeing fruit
trees rapidly o fsmall vermin-and if
better used in this way to make men
.repulsive and diseased.

AEsENT-MINDED people arc funny.
Sir Isaac Newton wanted his servant
TO carry out q stove which was get
ting too hot. A fellow stole his din
ner before his eyes, and he afterwards
thought he had eaten it because he
saw the dishes empty. A Scotch pro-
fessor walked into tho middle of a
horsc-pond while pondering on Final
cause. Ben Franklin punched down
the ashes of his pipe with the ringer
OF young lady sitting ,ys. ,;yo ms u ilae

York, received a letter in the dark,
and used the letter TO light his lamp,
and then looked about for 1t to read.

IMPROVE THR PRBsENT.--Never
whine over what you may suppose to be
the loss OF opportunities. A great many
men have good early opportunities who
never improve them, and many have
lost their early opportunities without
losing much. Every man way educate
himself who wishes to. 1t Is the Will
that makes the way. Many a servant
that wanted knowledge has listened
while his masters children were saying
their letters, and putting them together
to form easy words, has thus caught the
first elements of spelling. Ifa man has
a strong thirst for knowledge, we do not
care where he is put, he will become an
educated man. The first step towards
self improvement Is, to leave OF whining
the past. Let the past go, and bend
every energy to the Improvement of the
present. This Ia the only way.

How to Danish Fleas

The oil of pennyroyal will certainly
drive these pests off; but q cheaper
method, where the herb flour
ishes, is to throw your dogs and
cats into q decoction of it once q week.
Now the herb and scatter it in the
beds of the pigs once q month.
Where the herb cannot be got, the
oil may be procured. In this case
saturate strings with it and tie them
around the necks of dogs and cats,
pour a little on the back and about
the ears of hogs, which you can do
while they are feeding without
touching them. By repeating these
applications every twelve or fifteen
days, the Aeas will flee from your
quadrupeds, to their relief and i'm
provement, and your relief and com.
fort in the house.
Strings saturated with the oil OF
pennyrOyal and tied around the neck
and tail of horses will drive off lice
the strings should be saturated once
