Shad Propagation In lsse.-Tbe Nj

Shau propagation ~ lSSO. The fol-
lowing interesting summary Of the Propaga-
ton and distribution Of shad during $50 is
from forthcoming bulletin Of the United
States Fish Commission. The total dislribu-
lion Of shad r., for the season Of 1896 agqre-
gates over 1900, 900. As the entire number
Of shad taken for market is something less
than 1000, 600, it will be seen that for every
shad taken from the waters this season for
market, ] young shad have been artiicially
Matched and returned. The entire cost Of
production and distribution has been less than
$50 900; and, therefore the young fish have
been produced and distributed over the entire
United States at the cost Of about S2I5 for
100000, or &C Young FISH for each cent Of
expenditure Another interesting fact to note
is that for the entire time up to and including
1882 there we're produced BY artificial propa-
CATION only 200, 600, 900 young shsd. while for
$50 alone the total production was over co..
O00, 900. These facts indicate that we are
certainly getting TO a point where the work
may be regarded as profitable from a com
mereial standpoint Fny-t~o million fre
hundred and si1ty-two thousand were placed
in the tributaries Of Chesapeake bay.

Weight Of Eggs. We wish to place our
selves On the side Of those who advocate the
sale of eggs by the pound instead of by the
dozen We see no reason Why business OF
such great magnitude, involving al least 500
ono, 0o0. should not be regulated By law in a
just manner That potatoes should be sold
by the pound is made imperative, but the
crop of potatoes bears no comparison in value
TO the eggs, and there never has been so great
s difference between the measure Of potatoes
and their weight, as there is in eggs. That
the purchaser should pay just as much for a
dozen eggs that weighs only 10 ounces, as he
would pay if they weighed % ounces, seems
unjust in the bare statement it. The law
can regulate this.-Msryland Farmer.
