Farm and Garden Notes.

The breeder of cattle needs nothing SO
much as good, permanent pastures. Such
pastures yield such q variety of grasses as to
furnish complete and most excellent ration.
The pasture is the backbone of cattle breed
ing. No effort is too great to get the pasture
ready for the cattle in the earliest days of
spring, or to prolong in the autumn the time
during which it yields good grass.

The Protection Of the Seal Fisheries.

Our Canadian neighbors are reported
to be very much excited over the action
OF the United States Revenue Cutter,
Richard Rush, in Selling the British seal
ing schooner Black Diamond for the
illegal capture Of seals in the Behring
Sea. This sgitated condition of mind
will not affect the suthort,es Of the
United States in the slightest degree.
The captain OF the revenue cutter was act
ing under the instructions OF Congrs ss
and the course which he pursued, in bring
ing notorious seal pirate up with short
turn, WAS simply the performance Of
duty.
The United States acquired from Russia
in 1867 Alaska Territory and all its waters.
The greatest return which the Govern
ment has had from the large amount Of
money invested in this purchase has come
from the seal fisheries. This property is
to-day a very valuable one, worth at the
lowest estimate sss, 200, 900. There is no
doubt whatever Of the United States
ownership Of these fisheries and the de-
termination of our Government to protect
them from the iuroads of pirates who are
bent upon their wanton destruction will
meet the warm approval Of all true
Americans irrespective Of party. The ir-
resolate and weak kneed policy Of Secre-
tary Bayard seems to have given the
Canadians the idea that our Government
had abandoned its rights in these
waters. The inference was not, per-
naps, an unnatural one. Thor.

valuable Hsheries- The act providing for
this action was signed BY President cIeve-
land on the last day Of his term. And il
was In strict compliance With the pro-
visions Of that act that the Black Diamond
was seized.
The Alaska Seal Company has pur-
chased Of the United States. for term OF
years, the right To these fisheries. They
take the seals in accordance with certain
regulations which prevent determination
by giving them chance 70 propagate
Under the wise administration Of this
company the seai industry has steadily
grown in extent and value. The COM
pany pays the Government large annu-
al rent. It secured its rights by virtue Of
being the highest bidder. It Ia cer-
tziniy entitled To protection from the
Government In the rights it thus open
ly and honestly acquired. The contract
Of this company will s,on expire and the
control vf the zeal fisheries will be a
question for Government consideration.
Whether they will be again leased to
some company or taken directly under
national supervision remains TO be
ssen; but in either case Government pro-
lection Is matter Of nscessity.
