The HABITS OF BLACK BASS.
They pair and spawn in May, make
their nests on heds Of coarse sand
or gravel, in from four to six feet Of
water, by tanning the pebbles clean
and smoothe with their fms and
tails, and then deposite their eggs.
Two or three weeks, according to
the temperature of the water,
elapse before the eggs hatch. The
Matching is almost instantaneous,
the young coming out a perect fish
about half on inch long. After
Matching, the young remain several
days over the spawning beds, while
the old ones keep close by to pro.
tect them. In abont q week the
young scatter, mostly into deep
water, and are not seen again un'
till September, when they come in
shore having grown about two in.

with food, they grow about four inch
Is the first season. When two years
old they reach pound in weight,
and after that grow about pound
each year, until they weigh six or
eight pounds.
They are, moreover, enormously
prolific, 9 fish yielding from twenty
to thirty thousand spawn to the
pound.
The bass is gamey fish ; when
hooked he dives to the bottom, then
turns and rushes like On arrow to

ARE GRANGE ORGANIZATIONS Of
any use to agricultural cOmmuni.
tissi That is the question which
correspondents of the Maine Farm
er are discussing. and as there are
already one hundred and seventy
Oranges Established in our State with
q membership Of 1000, it is q some
what important one. There is this
to be said for the organization ; no
bad results are yet to he observed
to have arisen from it. We cannot
we'll see why anybody need become
anxious about these local organiza.
tions SO long as they adhere to their
principles. On the other hand, We
can see how very salutary work
for farming in Maine may he done.
For years the interests of the young
men reared Oh the farms in our State
HIS been declining. They have
largely come to think there is moth.
ing in the vocation for them, and
they flock to the cities, the manu-.
featuring villages aud the West,
leaving Maine farms to decay. The
few men who have intelligently tax.
Ell hold Of the agriculture in Maine
have made money, and have also
fairly demonstrated that in no de.
partlnent of industry, will brains
pay better than when used by farm-
ers. 1t is fair to assume that one
hundred and seventy associations,
composed of farming people, can.
not meet once o week or month
without creating an interest, which
will lead hundyeds of young men
and women in the State to look with
greater favor upon mans first occu-
patton. 1t cannot be otherwise. In
view of this, we think that the ex-
tension of the organization may be
witnessed without great amount
OF solicitude. Indeed, from what
we can see of the Granger outside
of his lodge.room, we think he may
be encouraged to multiply.-Aains

Professor Tice. the meteorologist, to
whose remarkable predictions, and their
no less remarkable tulfillment. concern
ing the physical perturbations which
accompanied the late equinox OF Venus,
we referred to Il few days ago, states
that the period from the 18th OF June
next through the first half of July will
be Il season of high electric tension in
the atmosphere, many thunder storms,
possibly many rain-tallS and cyclones.
-uch a. water-SpOutS and tornadocS. The
rycle occurs again about the middle OF
October. The phenomena twenty days
before and after should, he says, be
particularly noted. He claims that there
are meteorological cycles which are in
tluenced 10y the equinox of Venus, and
the record of the phenomena he adduc-
rs not only proves the occurrence OF
perturbationS at these e%quin0XeS, but
that they begin to manifest themselves
as early rs twenty and sometimes as
early us twenty-five days anterior to the
occurrence of the equinox. and may con-
tinuc as many days subsequent to il.
The exact day of bad weather cannot be
forctold, nor the immediate locality OF
the paroNisn: but by "a of this sys-
TEN he claims to be able to tell where
the disturbance will be felt least and
where it is liable to be the greatest
