FisH CdHauBE-Ths Convention oi
American Fish. Gnltuzists' Association
net in Albany February IA. Several
important papers were read during the
session. Resolutions wse adopted to
petition the Governmertto establish two
or more fsh-hatching establishments on
Puget Sound, and the Atlantic Coast.
This is move in the right direction,
and from the right qus1ter. Lake
Washington and its tributaries are ad-
mirably adapted to such an enterprise.
The numerous small spring; branches
can be arranged with dams and weirs at
small cost We shall hope to-see intro
duced the Shad, White Fish, Naeinac
Trout and Black Bass Of the Atlantic
slope ~ 4E -
But the Chinook Salmon is nearer at
hand, and is better fish than either of
the varieties frequenting the waters of
Puget Sound, and we are told tEnt the
salmon of Quinaeult River, just north of
Gray's Harbor, are even superior to the
Chinook. We suggest this subject to
the Farmers Club.

lemon, and squeeze out the juice; yolks
of two eggs; two tablespoonsfou, heaped,
of sugar; one half cup water; one tea
spoonful of butter; stir we'll, and bake
in deep dish lined with crust. Beat

LIVE CATTLE WEIGHED BY MEASURE
The only instrument necessary is meas
ure with feet and inch marks upon it.
The girth is the circumference of the
animal, just behind the shoulder blades. !
The length is the distance fromtbe shoul-
der blades. The superficial feet are OBJ
tanned by Multiplying the girth and
length The following are the rules to
ascertain the weight OF the animal
If less than one foot in girth, multiply
superficial feet by eight.
If less than three and mere than one,
multiply superficial feet by eleven.
If less than five and more then three,
multiply superficial feet by sixteen.
If less than seven and more than five,
multiply superficial feet by twenty-three.
If less than nine and more than sey-
81, multiply superficial feet by thirty
three
If less than eleven and more than
nine, multiply superficial feet by forty
two.
Example: Suppose the girth Of a bal
lock to be six feet three inches; length |
five feet six inches; the superficial area
will then be thnty-four, and in accord
ance with the preceding table, the weight
will be seven hundred and eighty-two
pounds.
Example: Suppose pig to measure
in lieth two feet, and length one foot
nine inches. There would then be three
and "a half feet, which multiplied by
eleven, gives thirty-eight and halt
pounds as the weight of the animal
when dressed. In this way, the weight
of the four quarters can be substantially
ascertained during life.
BUFFALO CREAM CAKE.-One cup of
white sugar. two-thirds of a cup Of sweet
milk, one and two-thirds cupsful flour,
