single season. Plenty of air and perfect
cleanliness are the best remedies. We
have heard it stated that no weevil has
appeared in any warehouse set mp off the
ground with a free circulation of air under
it. 1t will pay our warehouse men to in
vestigate this, and if true all warehouses
should be thus built.H[Colusa Sun.

present condition, 1t is constructed Of
solid masonry, and is complete obstruc.
ton to the progress of fish up the river.

river are swarming with fish below the
dam, while above it there are none, owing
to the absence of means for the fish to get
over it.-[Calaveras Chronicle.
