The ChiIcat Bill.

Representative Cassidy has given notice
to the Committee on Mines and Mining
that he intends making a fight against the
passage Of the Chilcat bill, which requires
that when any adverse claim shall be filed
by parties contesting a patent for lands
they shall be required to give bonds for
the costs Of the suit. Experience has
shown, says the Reese River Reveille. that
adverse claims are frequently filed in such
cases purely for the purpose Of blackmail.

business has been systematically on the
increase during the last few years., until 1t
has become a grievous nuisance, as we'll as
detrimental to the mineral interests of the
country as we'll as to the parties applying
for patents. Mr.. Cassidy gives as his rea-
son for opposing the bill that the principal
purpose of it is to protect rich mining cor
porations and spectators, and to crush
out the poor miners and others who may
be opposed to them. But the Reveille
argues, also, for the bill, as it alleges the
trouble complained Of works both ways.

Improved stock.

Rural World.
| presume there are yet farmers to be
found who will tell you that the differ
ence between a thoroughbred and a
scrub is mainly because of the extra
care given to the higher priced animal,
and | have heard thousand times the
ole thread-bare statement that "the
breed was in the feed trough and not
the animal" No sensible person be-
lleves this, not even those who are most
ready to quote it. For while neglect
may make the best stock unproftable
and good care enable the farmer to
grow common stock so as to make
money, good stock and good care COM
bined, give the best results.
What is improved stock, and by what
natural law has it been produced? An
swering the last question first the law
is, "like produces like There are,
however, exceptions to this general law,
and SO we do not see perfect uniformity
in the offspring of any, but some will do
better and some worse.
Now improved stock has been OBJ
tained by taking advantage of the gen
eral laws, and when some point of SUI
periority was found in an animal, by
careful and intelligent crossing and Sc
lection, such rs establish the desirable
points.
1t is easy to see that improvement OF
farm stock is not an easy matter OF
chance, but that it is the result of care
and thought. The farmer finds in some
individual animal some desirable quail
ty, such as early maturity, aptitude to
fatten, symmetry of form, richness OF
milk, etc, and as these qualities render
| the animal more valuable, he naturally
desires to perpetuate them, and by the
operation of natural law that the oft
ener thing is repeated the easier and
more certain is the result, he finally fix

animals called thoroughbreds is estab.

Thoroughbred animals define, then

Swiss Cattle.

Farm and Workshop.
The native Swiss cattle are mostly of
dark brown color on the body, with
light mOuSe-colOred stripe on the upper
line They are generally above the me
dunn size, with square and compact
bodies, heads large and coarse, thick
necks, with heavy hanging dewlaps.
With the Improvement of agriculture
in Switzerland, which has been very
great in recent years, the Improvement
of stock has kept pace. Many of the
objectionable points in these cattle have
been bred out of them by selection.
They still retain their claim as a supe-
rior race for the dairy, and furnish one
OF the greatest sources of revenue to
often the cow, is used for dono the
work on the farm. They receive the
kindest treatment from their owners,
and in consequence are usually dOcilc
in disposition. From the practice of
wearing bells, it is said, they cyince a
love for music, giving rise to the coun-
try saying that dairymaid with a fine
musical voice will increase the Quanti-
ty of milk given by the COWS in the
dairy. The cattle have fine and muscu-
lar limbs, with feet apparently as hard
as iron, and well adapted to the steep,
stony regions of their native land.
Their milk, though not so great in
quantity, is that of the Channel Island
cattle-very rich in cheese and butter
qualities. The Swiss cheese is among
the finest made in Europe, and finds a
ready export sale, Combining these
excellent qualities with that of great
hardness and a fair bcef-producng
structure, they would unquestionably
be a valuable cattle in the mountain

Studying the Growth of Oysters.
Baltimore American.

American.
Among the results of the years work
at the Johns Hopkins university the
Investigations which have been carried
on at the Chesapeake Geological labora-
tory, under DR.. w. X. Brooks, have
been of especial scientific interest, as
well as of great economic Importance
DR.. Brooks pointed out, four years ago,
that, as the growth of an animal is
limited by the supply of the least
abundant of the necessary ingredients
of its food, he supply of oysters was,
in all probability, determined by the
amount of carbonate of lime available
for shell formation. DR.. Brooks now
finds that, by placing the oyster eggs
in vessel of water with good supply
of such shells rs decompose readily, he
can hasten the formation of the shell
and carry the young further in thirty
six hours than they have ever before
been carried in eight days. AT the same
time the you ne are much more healthy
and vigorous than those reared without
supply of lime. This discovery of a
way to reduce the most critical period
in the life OF the oyster from eight DAYS
to thirty-six hours is of great value.
After the shell is formed the young
oyster can be kept alive for several
days, but is gradually starved to death.
The only point which now remains in
practical oyster propagation from the
egg is some method of supplying the
young with food. This, Dr. Brooks
thinks requires nothing more than a
little patience. The spawning season
is now over, and it is not probable that
any farther advances will be made in
this direction this year. A method OF
feeding the young oyster will probably
be found out next season by DR.. Brooks.
or by Lieut.. WinSlow, u. 5. N, an
officer of the United States fish com
mission, who Joined the laboratory
about a month ago.
