FREsH.WATER FISH.
What Massachusetts Has Done for Thorn
in go Years.

What Massachusetts Has Done for Them
$500 in go Years.
From the Boston Trapeler.
Massachusetts has just completed an ex-
pertinent of 20 years in stocking her fresh
water with fish. As the twentieth report
OF the Fish Commissioners is just issued,
it seems to be good time to look up re-
suits. The cost to the State has been
about $4,000. This does not include the
cost to the towns. For the last five years
the average cost has been S4,565 76 a year
10 the State. A leading and very lauda-
bic project was to restore the shad and
salmon. During twelve years, ending
with 1877, the State used for its waters
about 1854, 0O0 shad eggs and young
shad; of the latter there were 460, 600.
For nine years, ending with
1885, the Commissioners caused a careful
count once or twice or more each day, in
the running season Of the shad, Of the
number that went up the fishway at Law
renee. The first year, 1877, six went up
during the watching, and in the last wear,
1885, four, and in four Of the years none.
Total seen during the nine years, nine
teen.
A like trial was made on salmon. The
eggs and young salmon used were 1,0S0.-
270, of which 277 800 were young salmon.
In the nine years 242 salmon were seen TO
30 up--the first year 1877, there were
AIS, the last year, 1885, II. The commits
siOners are still hoping, nevertheless, Tor
an increase of shad and salmon above the
fshway. OF results in the Connecticut
the 20 reports do not furnish details of
much information.
The State has also used 221, 800 eggs Of
the land-locked salmon, and also a pOr-
ton of 100000 young fry Of this fish,
Matched at Grand Lake stream in 1870.
| Tabulated or business results are not
given, and probably there was no success
worth reporting Now and then a few OF
| these fish are reported from the scores Of
! ponds or streams in which the fry were
| placed. They belong to cold and running
! waters, and therefore have poor chance
| in Massachusetts.
Black bass has been introduced into
| about 100 of the big ponds. They prove
| quite destructive to the other fish, are shy
| of being taken, and for the table are Of
! only tolerabe credit. They please the ex-
| perts in fishing for their game quail ties.
The people generally wish the old-iash-
| toned fish were back again, Of which the
bass is exceedingly destructive. Carp are
| talked of, but reliable results are not yet
obtained for Massachusetts waters. In
| tidewater fish the commissioners have
been very helpful. AS to fresh-water nsh
the experiment of 20 years, and rather eX-
! pensiVe, seems to have been wisely enter
ed into and fairly handled AS TO the
river fish it is not success. The failure
on shad and salmon, in which alone there
can be any commerce for Massachusetts,
is due, apparently. TO the corruption of
the cities, outflow of chemical WORKS,
tanneries, saw mills, sewage. and the
tide. The people seem to wish for the
| old-tme rights in fishing purely for
| sport, and last year the law was re-
| pealed which allowed the leasing Of great
| ponds to private parties as a monopoly.

In the year 1860, when English thrushes
were introduced into Australia, shell
snails were introduced with them into the
colony of Victoria as food for the birds.
The snails have now become so numerous
in some parts of the colony as TO be a
great pest in gardens, where they are eX-
ceedingly destructive to ferns, lowering
plants and vegetables.

would be an advantage TO SOW different
kinds of grasses Of such kinds as ripen at
different times, so that succession OF
fresh feed might be secured for longer

manure. Stable manure do double or
triple duty; they not only supplant plant
food, but have q mechanical or chemi-

Some idea of the vast amount OF capt.

BY the last census, that the value Of agri-

probably the great majority of apple
trees will be grown by roOt-gTafting, for
years to come. RoOt-grafting is generally

count. Generally, frst-class apple stocks
are used. These are housed in a cellar or
other safe place, secure from frost; and
after the grating has been done, the
gratis are laid in boxes in layers, with
sawdust, sand, or common earth, and thus
kept until spring. Great diversity of

A New. Nameless Fruit.

The Sanford Journal says: "While in
Haines City last week Mr.. Harrison
Jones showed us a specimen of fruit
gathered from a tree In his grove in
Manatee, and asked US to tell him what it
was. After a careful examination we
were compelled to confess our inability to
do so. We will therefore describe 1t, and
ask any OF our readers who can tell us
what it is. The tree, Of which there are
only two in the grove, strongly resembles
the grape fruit, and when not in fruit is
hard TO distinguish from it. The fruit has
the appearance of an enormous sweet
orange, somewhat hatJened at the ends.
The skin is smooth, color bright and deep.
The specimen measured 15% inches in
circumference, and Mr.. Jones says not
above the average size Of all the fruit on
the trees. The taste and seed were SINH
lar to the ordinary sour orange. Mr..
Jones has resided in Florida nineteen
years, and has never before seen anything
like it. The fruit is truly beautiful but,
so far as known, useless. The party from
whom Mr.. Jones purchased the grove
could give no information in regard to the
origin OF the fruit only that he planted
the seed, supposed to be sweet orange, 16
years ago, and did not know what they
were until they began to BEAR"

To thIs the wilmingtor So ADDS:

To this the Wilmington Star adds:
at is shown from actual sales that
North Carolina farmers have made from
5000 to $500 to the acre, and from $500 20
$1,000 to the hand, and even more. The
Henderson Gold Lear gives a recent ex-
ample. 1t says: In 1882 a man near
Henderson planted one acre Of tobacco.
There were 5000 hills. He made 1880
pounds, which he sold for $3.50 % net. The
next year, same land, he made 1860
pounds, and sold it for S4l6 50 net. In
1884 he made on the same acre 1855
pounds, which he sold for $500, being 10c.
per hill. In Granville and other coun-
ties such examples as this abound. One
man near Oxford planted ten acres for
three consecutive years. He worked two
men and boy. The results were $12,-
900 for three years. wOrk-an average OF
$500 year, and $500 to the acre. More
surprising results than these can be
given. But these show thattobacco pays"
Noy let the writer add that tobacco
culture is no new thing in Georgia or
Florida. Its adaptability and paying
yields were tested years ago and found
satisfactory, but cotton required less skill
and vigilance. If the low price of the
latter now warrants the return to tObac-
co, our farmers have but to proceed with
its cultivation. Seeds are sOwn here in
April.

BY special request the great
value which we offered last

attending the sale of same (the

cordance with our invariable
custom of meeting the de-
mands of our patrons when
ever possible, we have decided
to offer on Monday, March

cent quality.

observe that this lot cost
