A Canadian Game Fish.

In appearance freSh-run salmon and
q fresh-run winanishe do not differ much
more than salmon from different rivers.
The back of a winanishe is greener blue,
and in q fish Just out of water can be
seen to be marked with olive spots, some
thing like the vermiculations on trout;
the silyery scales are more iridescent, the
N-marks are more numerous and less
sharply detined the patches of bronze,
purple and green on the gill-covers are
larger and more brilliant, and with them
are several large round black spots. As
the water grows warm the bright hues get
dull, and toward autumn the rusty red
color and hooked lower jaws of the spawn
ing salmon develop. As the winanishe,
unlike the salmon, feeds continuously,
and in much heavier and swifter water
than salmon lie in, it has n simmer body
and larger fins, so that five-pound win
anishe can leap higher and oftener than
a grilse and fight like ten-pound salmon.
The variety of its habits, which are a
compound of those of the trout and those
of the salmon, with some peculiarities of
its own, gives great charm to winanishe-
angling, and opportunity for every style
from the "foating fly" on tiny hooks
to the "sink and draw" of the salmon
cast 1t takes the fly readily when in
the humor, though wary and capri
cious like all its relations, and fights
hard, uniting the dash of the trout with
the doggedness and ingenuity of the
salmon.
In railway and hotel prospectuses the
winanishe weighs from five to fourteen
pounds. In Lake St. John and the De-
charge the average is two and half
four -pouuders are large and not too
plentiful, while six-pounders are scarce.

begin the manufacture of the wonderful pre-.

BRoAD-TIRED WHEELS.

''AIany time and oft" the use Of
broad-tired wheels has been advocated in
these columns. But few persons seem TO
exercise any good judgment in regard to
this reform. The exceedingly narrow
;ires-one and one-half inches even
lsed for wagons which carry heavy loads
upon earth roads are still adhered to, and
three or four inch tier is looked at by
the rural travellers with something akin
70 amazement. And yet such a tire not
only does not damage a road, whether il
be hard or soft, but it actually improves
it, rolling it and making it hard, smooth
md firm. And, moreover, the load is
drawn with greater ease. In field work
the advantage is equally great. The
wheels do not sink through an ordinary
sod, and very little in a stubblc, while
two horses will draw 5000 pounds of
manure upon freshly -plowed land with
tour-inch tires to the wheels when they
would be stalled with 1900 pounds upon
)ne and one-half inch vheels.-Ne'o Yorb
