To the Standard.
Nothing strange, wonderful, or alb
normal has happened in this vicinity
recently. The showers and sunshine
have been quietly accomplishing the
work which is theirs to perform,
hence we expect fair yield of corn.
Our farmers have saved a good deal
of hay of various kinds, and they
have Increased their stock of feed by
adding good deal of fodder, SO with
an ordinary winter there will be an
abundance of feed, and it is to be
hoped that during the coming year
we will not have to draw upon other
parts of the country for our supplies
for man and beast. Our farmers are
more busy than is customary at this
time of the year. Some are still saw
ing fodder, some blowing for wheat,
some for corn, and others are market
ing lumber. Some of our people are
coming to the conclusion that times
will not get better until they are made
better, hence they are laboring toward
this end.

and over went at pc, those weighing
less went a little off.
Most of our cattle men have not
brought their cattle from the noun
tain yet. There will be surplus of
cattle in this section this fall, but a
scarcity of hogs, as the hog cholera
has been raging here now for some
time.
Some Of our fruit men have begun
to put up fruit for distilling purposes,
submission or no submission. At the
present prices of brandya man must
have an eye of faith of an eXtraordin-
airy kind to see any money in the
manufacture ofapple brandy. Some
who once made a success of distilling
do not possess this eye Of faith, hence
will not engage in the brandy bust
ness at present.

THE Tracy City News says it will
advocate the abolition of the peniten-
tiary lease system. The News halls
from the scene of action Of the lease
system, and ought to know something
about it; but we want the News to
tell us what it is going to do with the
convicts when the lease system is
abolished. In what better way can
the convict labor be utilized to bring
it less into competition with free Ia
Dor than the lease system? TO our
mind the proper question to discuss
primarily is not the abrogation Of the
lease system, but an effective substi-
tute for it.

If OUR candidates for Governor
would devote more of their time to
the discussion of State issues, and less
to the tariff and Blair Bill, leaving
those topics to congressional candi-
dates, we believe more good would be
accomplished. In the position they
are seeking the successful candidate
will have absolutely nothing on earth
to do with either the tariff or the
Blair Bill, and yet fully three-ffths
of their time in the canvass is taken
up with discussion of these issues.

Another Burnham Stock Farm.

which are well filled each year with hay and grain.

Exterminating the Mackerel.

A writer in the Boston journal, urging the
enactment of the bill before Congress prohibit
ing the taking of mackerel during their spawll-
ing season. says that if something is not done
to protect this most valuable fish during that
period there is but one result to follow, and
that is determination. Twenty-Five years ago
the catch depended upon the caprice Of the fish,
because they were almost wholly taken by hook
and line, but with the Introduction and univer-
sal use of the purse seine the fish are ''gobbled
up" hundreds of barrels at a time. 1t is now
the practice of the fishermen, their fleet con-
sisting of from 100 to 200 sail, to 60 down near
ly in the latitude of Cape Hatteras to meet the
fish as they advance northward to their spawn
ing grounds. Each of these vessels operates
from one to two purse seines, every one of
which is capable of taking from ten to 800 bar
rels at "shot"; each barrel contains from $50
to 200 mackere, and every female contains
from 100000 to 100000 eggs. Allowing one
half the contents of each barrel to be female, it
is found that with every barrel of fish killed
during their spawning season there is also des-
troyed about "a 900, 900 eggs.

there was nothing else to do, as we had previously
carried away our mansail. We did very well for
a time but the gale increased to a hurricane and
the schooner could not keep out of the way of the
seas. In this dilemma the captain bethought Of a
