Salmon breeding on the Penobscot is
becoming a fixture. The first year an
experiment, the second a success, the third
very promising. Among the points Of
interest al the works OF Mr.. Atkins, are
first, the young salmon. some 200 more or
less. Last winter were sent off 1905 900
eggs, keeping l50, 900 to hatch after hatch
ing all but about 200 of the small fry they
We're sent TO the Penob-cot. and ST. Croix
Rivers For these Matching trough has
been fttel up, with a nice gravel bot ON,
with wire netting At the lower end and
near the middle. Here the Young salmon
from one TO one aud one-half inches in
length, are sporting as gaiiy as IL they had
never been manipulated.
at is hardly necessary to say that these
troughs are artificial brooks for in run
ming water only will the eggs hatch or the
young fish live. In the upper end of this
trough In the slime al the bottom, process
OF breeding is going on, which beggars
description. Myriads of minute insects
are coming into life and floating down the
stream supplying food for the tiny salmon.
Thus not only does a kind Providence
feed the fowls OF the air but the fish in the
Matching troughs.
In the pond short distance from the
| Matching house. has the work Of the year
commenced. A MARINE hedge has been
built across the lower end. fencing in
several acres. In this pound Mr.. Atkins
has already 430 salmon, Ole expects to
put in COO in all.)
The fish are taken in trap wires at the
| point Of the Island, put into dories which
are scuttled at the ends with strong net
ting in the middle. Into these the fish are
put, taken or s miles TO Bdckspot VII
lage, dipped into boxes filed with water
| and taken some two miles TO the pond.
| The salmon would consider this rather
rough coin, II they believed, that amer being
striped in the fall, they are to be sitrey tag
9ed and set at liberty, and some Of them
die, but the loss this year has been much
less than last year. Only two have died
while last year out of 4ol, 16 died.
Salmon are unusually plenty this season,

Eyes Open and Mouth Shut.

Every community can boast Of two
classes; one ofwhich keep their eyes open
and their mouth shut; the other their
mouth open and their eyes shut.
The former class are less numerous but
more precious. Perhaps this may be &C
counted for on the principle Of hereditary
tendency" forunfortunately for his descen-
dants. it is very probable that our first
parent belonged to the latter class; for
had he kept his eyes open, perhaps his
wife would not have been beguiled, and
certainly If he had kept his mouth shut,
he would not have eaten the forbidden
fruit. But the conformation Of the mouth
and eyes plainly indicate, that both were
made to open and shut, and therefore do
not say that the mouth neper should be
open, nor that the eyes never should be
shut. But do say, as a rule the mouth
should be shut.
But as there are exceptions to nearly all
rules, so there are a few exceptions to this.
Exception LIST. One may open his mouth
to take sufficient amount Of wholesome
food, but 1t should no more be left open to
fill the room with gas than the stove door
should.
Exception I'd. One may open his mouth
to offer anything that will instruct, console,
elevate or edify any Of his fellow crea-
lures.
Exception Sd. One may open his mouth
for the purpose of respiration provided he
can not breath through his nose without
snoring.
And now with regard to the eyes; as a
rule the eyes should be kept open. Bu,
there are few exceptions.
/ Exception lst- One should sleep with
the eyes shut. Probably no one will ever
succeed In breaking up this venerable Gus
tom. Because ''late research has
proved" that it is perfectly natural TO sleep
so, and because it is very ancient custom.
Really I believe no antiquarian has ever
thought Of attempting TO prove that the
ancients slept with their eyes open. But
why not keep both opens Simply because
- tau-Ss
quently is impossible.
For example. | saw saucy fellow keep
his mouth open till another saucy fellow
stepped up and closed his eyes 90 tightly
thai he could not open them tor week.
Again saw a fellow with his mouth
/ open, drinking from a bottle, and soon
4 aftcr that l saw a wood-pile strike him
smash in the face. He got up, opened his
mouth again and swore at the wood-pile
shockingly. The wood-pile though not
made in the image Of its creator still had
more reverence than he, and swore not in
reply but simply struck him again saw
then that his eyes had rc,rea;ed behind
two huge heaps of bruised flesh.
| Now it Is very evident that had these
fellows kept their mouths shut, they
might have kept their eyes open. and de-
pend upon it, it is a good rule and 4 safe
practise to. keep the eyes open and the
mouth shut, l.. l.. GEISpLE.

Nor given you needless pain;
But we vex 'our own"

That never for me
The pain Of the heart should cease,
How many go forth in the morning
That never come home at night,
And hearts have broken,
For harsh words spoken,
That sorrow can never right.

And smiles for the sometime guest,

Roof Up THE WEEDs.-Two boys, Jim

to keep the paths Of his garden weeded.
Jim contented himself with taking OF the

stopped to take all the weeds up By The

EARLY HAyING.-The articles that have
already appeared in our columns the
present summer, regarding the early cut
ting Of grass for hay. is evidence that the
farmers of our State are beginning to rea-
lie the Importance OF early having TO far
greater extent than has formerly been the
case. 1t i better TO commence having q
week too soon, so to speak, than 10 be In
the drag week or two after grass has got
dead ripe, and become OF little value for
hay. Many kinds Of grass are just right 10
cut by the last week in June, and then the
different varieties ripen in succession so
that the work of having can be pushed
vigorously until all is completed. Grass
has made a good growth this spring,
. and the dry weather Of the past two
weeks, which has had a tendency TO Cause
it to spindle up rapidly. will induce an
carly beginning of the hay harvest. We
learn from many parts OF the state that
while old fields look rather thin. newly
seeded pieces are excellent, and the yield
on the whole will be somewhat above the
average. The drouth yet continues I'M
broken, and on old fields the grass is at a
stand still and unless favored with timely
rains grass viii deteoriate unless cut at
once. Maine FIrmer.
SALT FOR Cut WoRMs-A great deal OF
attention Is attracted TO the application OF
salt 10 corn hills TO prevent the attack OF
the cut worms. The late Isaac Newton,
Commissioner Of Agriculture, said: Take
one part common salt and parts of plas-
ter or gypsum. and apply, when the plan,
first makes its appearance, about a table
spoonful around every corn hill. Ii will
be found sure protection. The mixture
should not come In contact with the plants,
a il may destroy them. This method has
been tried over and over again by some
OF our best farmers in Pennsylvania, and
when properly applied has never failed
Newton further said that he tried this il
alternate rows. which completely proved
Is efficacy. as while those where il
was not used suffered greatly from the
grub. not plant from the other rows be
Ing touched. Let il be tried, as il can be
50 easily done. by those who are troubled
with cut worms in the corn-field about
these days.

FLOWERS AS DIsINFECTANrs-The
Boston CRitiudtor says "Loyers Of the
beautiful as manifested in the flower king
dom. will be happy TO hear that flowers,
instead of being unhealthy in rooms. are,
on the contrary, disinfectants in disease.
Professor Mantegazza has discovered that
ozone is developed by certain odorous
flowers. A writer in our own clever con-
temporary, Nature, states that most of the
strong-smelling vegetable essences, such
a. mint. clover, lavender. lemon and cher
~ laurel, develope very large quantity
of ozone when In contact with atmospher-
ic oxygen in light. Flowers destitute of
perfume do not develope it. and generally
the amount Of ozone seems TO be In pro-
portion to the strength of the perfume
emanated. Professor Mantegazza recon-
mends that in marshy districts, and infest-
ed with nOxious eXhalations. strong smell
ing flowers should be planted around the
house. in order that the ozone emitted
from them may exerts its powerful oxidiz-
ing influence. So pleasant . plan for

Whose beauty charmed the eye
Where yiolet's bent in sweet content.
And pinks stood proud and high.

Cool lilies kept the dew;
And fair and tall along the wall
The climbing roses grew.
The velvet bees, in fragrant ease,
Lay drunken with perfume

And all the air was music there,

WHEN To CUT GRAss.-All know that
their cows give the most milk and produce
the most butter. that their young animals
make most rapid growth. and wear the
glossiest coats while they are luxuriating
upon June feed" Were it not otherwise
we might naturally conclude that mis-
take had been made in nature by providing
their food in this condition. 1t seems rea-
sonable, then to conclude thar the nearer
in character and quality we can make our
hay TO young, tender grass the better it
will be. Could we, without any great ex-
pense. cut and cure il for hay, when not
more than four 10 six inches growth had
been attained continuing 10 do SO with
each succeeding growth through the sea-
son, We should, without question. have IL
In lie most valuable condition. But this
i !mpracticable; it does involve too great
expense. The question then Is, how near
can We approach this proftably: This
question can be satisfactorily answered
only by careful experiment.
