TIE rRoUNDIrY OF FISH.

An average herring contains about 25,-
900 ova, so that 200 females of that fish
would yield, if all the eggs were to come to
life, 5000, 900; but hundreds of thou
sands of the eggs altogether escape the fer
tilizing milt of the male fish, and other
hundreds of thousands are devoured by en-.
emies that seem to think the ova of the her
ring has been created solely to serve as food
to them. All our sea fishes are endowed
with enormous powers of reproduction. a
female Goldfish has been known to contain
600 600 or 3. 600 900 ova, but, as has been
stated of the herring, the waste Of eggs
from the want of being fructifed, and
from other causes, is really enormous.
The fat fishes are also all of thsm
very productive but in the case
of all sea fishes the waste of life is
really and truly incalculable, otherwise
man would be incapable of dealing with
these minor monsters of the great deep.
As has been shown in the case of the her
ring, there are animals preying on the
shoals the demands of which are far more
deadly than those of mankind the same
may doubtless be said of most of our other
sea fishes. But the total stock Of fish of
all ages must indeed be prodigious. There
are, however, many difficulties in the way
of fixing upon a figure. It is not yet
known, for instance, with anything ike
certainty, at what age herring or Goldfish
arrive at the maturity of their lives bat
it may be hazarded as conclusion, which
has not been arrived at without the most
careful considerations, that the sea in all
probability contains supply of fish
which, in the event of production ceasing,
would last the community for a period
of five or SIX years. The fish, Of course,
must be of all ages; but no man can tell
the exact age of any of the fish which he
may from day TO day find on his table.
Nor can we tell the average age which any
of our sea fish attain. Many of the cod
fish we capture look to be very old den.
liens of the deep-l0 years old at least.
And as some of the fish which are captured
are occasionally of an enormous size, that
fact seems TO indicate long period of life.
We think, however, taking the majority of
our fishes into account, that if creation
were at once to stop, and the fish of the
sea were suddenly to cease to multiply and
replenish, the present stock. at the rate of
capture now going on, might last us for a
period OF from four TO FIVE years. Bsr-

FOREST AND STREAM

The game laws continue to raise havoc
in the courts of Great Britain. Rabbits
are not game, yet two men at Mindless
borough, who were ferreting rabbits, I'M
derwent hard experience a short time
ago. The keeper OF the estate followed
them and had fight, in which he was
beaten. When he recovered he found the
prisoners had got forty or fifty yards away
from him. He consequently got on his
horse, and, raising his loaded gun, dis
charged it at one of the prisoners. So
good was the aim that it appears there
were twelve shot wounds in the mans right
thigh, thirteen in the calf Of his right leg,
and twelve in the calf OF his left leg. On
the balance, therefore, the keeper seems
to have conducted himself far worse than
the prisoners. Not so, however, thought
the Bench. The "poachers were fined
e. and costs, or one months imprisonment
for ferreting, and sentenced to two months
imprisonment for the assault. The keeper
was not even blamed. Il used TO be said
that many hunting men thought it far
verse to shoot fox than to kill man
but in this case we have magistrates who
clearly think it worse to catch rabbit
than TO shoot man The Hour.
A dispatch from London, dated Febru-

Highlands. They are at present housed
in the Duke of Argyle's pleasantly, at
Glengary, and are to be turned out in

number of wild turkeys. which have been
set free in the woods Of Inverary, but it is
too soon to be able to judge whether the
experiment will be successful.

THE MILDRw IN GRAPES.
My grapes last year, says writer in
Vick's Magazine, were entirely free from
mildew, but some of nv neighbors' vines
were affected with it. Why should it be
so? / pruned my vines very carefully
with a view to the amount of fruit they
could safely carry, SO that they could not
set more than they were able to perfect.
The result was that the vines were unusu-
ally vigorous, the lunches were almost
perfect, the berries quite large, and they
swelled so rapidly as to surprise my neigh
bors. Is not overcropping one cause Of
mildew?
INSECT PESTS UPON ORANGE TREES.
a mixture of twenty parts of hard soap,
forty-six parts of kerosene and one part oil

orange tree. Prof. C. V. Riley is the au.
thority. Other valuable plants, notably
the vine, might be similarly protected by a
spray from an application of the same re-
cipe. 1t can be diluted at will with water
so as not to interfere with the constitution
of the plant.
