Our Salmon Fisheries.

II is not difficult to predict that ut no
very distant day the salmon fisheries of
the Pacific Coast will return to the conn
try an immense revenue, and that the
Weld of salmon from the various streams
now stocked and being stocked will lie,
enormous. The attention of some of
our wealthy men has been given to the
matter, and Governor Stanford and
Charles Croker have rendered vast ser
vice to the State by their successful eff
forts in propogating salmon in the vari-
Gus rivers and lakes.
The official statistics of the Govern
ment fisheries on the McCloud river
present some astonishing figures. Dur
ing the past year it is estimated that g.
OOO, 900 salmon have been Matched in
these fisheries, the eggs for which
weighed eight tons. This establishment
is the largest of its kind in the world,
and from it all the rivers and lakes in
the United States will eventually be
stocked with salmon
Governor Stanford, at his own OK
pense, ordered million young salmon,
and Charles Crocker half million.
Half n million of these have already
been turned loose in the Sacramento
river, and the balance will soon be set
free. Mr.. Croker has sent "A quarter of
million to Lake Tahoe, where it is said
they are doing finely. BY the close of
the present year more than 1000, 900
salmon will have been turned loose into
the streams of California, which will
certainly be sufficient to supply the fish
cries for many year, without diminish
ing the number in the least. The val
ne of this industry may be gathered
from the fact that last year 2O,W0,OW
pounds of canned salmon were shipped
from the various canning establishments
on the Columbia river in Oregon.

Effect of Camphor OH Seeds.

Certain curious and all hut forgotten
experiences of much interest to agricul-
ture and gardening have lately been re-
vlved by II German savant. Very many
years ago it was discovered and recorded
that water saturated with camphor had
remarkable influence on the gemina-
ton of seeds. As of many other useful
hints. the world took no notice of this
information: but Berlin professor,
having seen the record of it, appears to
have established the facts that solution
of camphor stimulates vegetables as al
cohol does animals. He took seeds of
various sorts, some being three or four
years old, and possessing slight degree
of vitality, and placed them between
sheets of blotting paper. Some of these
he wetted with pure water, and others
with camphorated water. In many cases
the seeds did not swell at all under the
influence of the simple moisture, but in
every case they terminated where they
were subjected to the camphor solution.
The experiment was extended to differ
ent kinds of garden seeds, old and new.
and always with the result of showing
singular awakening of dormant vital
ism and wonderful quickening of
growth. 1t also appears from the pro-
fessor's researches that the young plants
thus stimulated continued to increase
with ii vigor and vivacity much beyond
that of those which were not so treated
On the other hand, when pounded cam
phor was mixed with the soil, it APP
peared to exercise rather bad effect
upon the seeds. The dose in this latter
case was possibly too strong. At all
events, this action of camphor is worthy
OF an examination by seedsmen and gar
deners, and even farmers might deter
mine how far wheat and barley might
be protited by the strange power this
drug appears to possess over the latent
life of vegetable germs.-Horticuiturist.

and incessant issuing OF superfluous pro-
hibitions and orders. which are regarded

sweeten and enrich domestic life are
refinement, high aims, great interest,

all unnecessary commands or dictation
and general allowance of mutual free

SHAKING BEES From COMBS J.
Nj. Marven, in the American Bee Jour-
nal, gives the following way to prevent
irritating bees in brushing from the
combs in subdividing: Use more care
in subdning bees, in long, deep or large
hives. 1t is generally best to manage
the hives, extracting honey, making
swarms, etc, during yield of honey,
and before it is sealed with wax. that all
the bees may fill their sacs with honey,
which they will do if there is enough
uncapped, and they are distributed
properly. II the honey is not in fit
condition, or of sufficient quantity, food
may be given to sublime the most vicious
stock The brush is one or more grape
or plantain leaves rolled loosely, some
times the end trimmed. Weeds, grass,
broom. feathers or brushes may he used,
and if the articles are scarce, or only one
at hand, dip occasionally in water to
wash off the odor, which enrages badly
managed bees. Use the oldfashioned
native or black bees, with your deep
frames, that drop off the comb like shot
off shinglc ut the least touch.

HORSES WITH CONTRACTED FEET.-
Make an excavation in the bottom Of
your stable, close by the manager, from
two to three feet square and one or more
feet deep; fill the same with clay, taking
care to crush down into solid mass
Be sure to get good, pure clay-not mud
of any sort. Keep the surface damp,
and horse kept standing on such sur
face will never be troubled with con-
tracted hoofs. It is not necessary to
have any more of the damp surface than

PRuNING BRooDs. Pruning brood
combs is generally quite unnecessary; in
fact is more injurious than otherwise.
If they even require excision, it can only
be when they are SO overcharged with
pollen as to render breeding impossible,
in which case tho operation should lie
performed in heSpring. Pruning them
after the bees have swarmed and cast is
very unwise, for several reasons. First,
there is Il possibility that, during IA glut
of honey, the bees would build drone
combs exclusively, if any. Second, that
having to replace the cxciscd comb, they
would be less likely to yield surplus
in their super; and third. there is the
undoubtcd fact that bees Winter much
better in old combs than in new ones,
because, being coated with so much
silky fiber. they are the warmer of the
two, and again, there is the one chance
that in an unfavorable season they may

Hoes WANT SULPHUR Whether hogs
require sulphuras an essential to health,
or whether it is sought by them as ii con
diment, may not be discovered. But one
thing is true-they dcvour it with greed
whenever it is to he found. 1t is for
this purpose, probably, that they can eat
large quantities of soft coal, which con-
tains large amount of sulphur. Per
haps this is the most economical method
of supplying hogs with sulphur during
Winter, when they require good deal
of carbon. But in Summer it is best to
feed it to them in substances which con-
tain less carbon, on account of their
producing less heat. Mustard is one of
the best things for this purpose, and
some of it should be sown in every pas
ture into which hogs are turned. II
hogs are kept in, or in small yards, it is
we'll to supply them with the wild mus
tard that grows in the fields or high
ways, or to cultivate some Of the better
varieties for them. They will eat its
