The MackereI Industry.

The habits of fish, says the San
Francisco Chronicle, are not perfect
ly known to naturalists. For in
stance, they have never been able to
determine where mackerel pass the
winter. Some writer's have asserted
that it goes, as soon as the cold
weather commences, to the coast OF
Greenland, enters the bays, and
plunging its head into the mud, re-
mains in that position, with tail in
the air, till revivified by the spring
sunshine. Then it goes south, seek.
ing spawning grounds, following the
coasts of Europe and America, espec-
tally the latter, guided probably by
the Gulf Stream. Arriving on the
coast Of Europe the schools separate,
swarming about the coast Of Great
Britain and Norway, entering the
Baltic or seeking the bays OF the
French coast. In France it is usually
caught by trailing hooks or drifting
nets. When fresh, it is the favorite
fish after the sole, and certain other
kind that are less common. Being
found everywhere in the north OF
France in abundance and at low
price in the spring, and being by no
means rare thenceforward till the
first Of the following January, it is in
less repute among the rich on this &C
count, and even among those OF mod
crate means stales by repetition. The
fishermen Of the Norman and Breton
coasts cross into the Irish sea in search
of this precious fish. Salt mackerel
is held i'm q certain estimation by
Americans. AT Dieppe and Fecamp,
in Fra nee, the mackerel is prepared
with oil in manner that renders it
almost as delicate as the sardine.
From its intestines the ancient Ro-
mans prepared brine, Of bad odor,
naturally, and of taste that lnoderns
would find absolutely disgusting,
which, nevertheless, they held in high
esteem. .rH

Use Of the Whip.

The whip should be utterly abol-
ished as weapon for compelling the
service of trained draught animals
1t is useful in the training when
rightly used for the purpose Of teach
ing subsection and directing the
movements OF younganimals. A colt
may be touched with it, but never
punished or struck in anger. Anger
should never be aroused in any ami
NAL, much less in the man who is en-
gagged in teaching his colt to work.
A colt properly trained from its birth
will have no vicious propensities that
need to be whipped out of him.
When it is first saddled or harnessed
it needs to be taught that there is
nothing to fear, and if mo unted by a
boy and led by an older person until
it learns what is to be done, it may
need to be touched by a light whip,
il it has not already been taught to
lead, or, if in harness, it has not al
ready been used to the lightest work.
1t would fully double the usefulness
and value OF all our working animals
if the whip were abolished altogether
as weapon of punishment and used
only for the purpose of guidance, and
the drivers understood their business
as well as the animals which have
been properly trained to it. A trained
driver is as necessary as a trained
team.

A Good Road Law.


The agitation over the road ques-
ton in this State goes bravely on and
the people are becoming interested.
Not only is this true in West Virginia,
but in many other States OF the Union.
A contemporary asserts that America
has the best railroads in the world,
and wants to know why she should
not have the best highways Why,
indeed The general awakening to
the Importance Of the subject is
likely to bring them. Talk will not
give us better roads, however. Ac-
ton only can do it. Every citizen in
the State is interested, and the farm
ers particularly should lend their
hearty encouragement to the press In
the agitation of the subject.
In this connection it may be noted
that the Ohio Legislature has passed
a road law, the operation OF which
will be watched with considerable in
terest. II it proves successful it Will
be a good law to copy, with such
notifications as will suit the topog-
raphy of more mountainous State.
The Ohio law provides that, by a
vote OF the people in any township
having 1850 inhabitants, a special
road district may be established.
Three Road Commissioners are elect
| ed for sucn district, who are author
lied to levy a tax of not less than one
or more than two mills for ordinary
road work and repair, and further
tax of not more than four mills, in
any one year, to pay the cost of grad
ing, draining. macadamizing or paw
ing roads. Whenever thirty free
holders in special road district pc
| tition for macadamized road, the
| Commissioners are required to order
an election within thirty days, and II
a majority vote in favor of the prop
osition the Commissioners are TO pro-
| coed to have the road built. To de-
fray the cost, bonds are authorized
to be issued and sold at par by the
| township, bearing 5 per cent interest
and not to exceed $4,000 in amount,
the principal payable in not less than
ten nor more than thirty years. The
county is to construct all necessary
bridges and culverts. The amount
of bonded indebtedness on any road
district is limited to $4,000, and the
animal tax for new roads to 4 mills.
The law provides that when road is
to be constructed it must be divided
into sections of one mile each and
properly specified and bids advertised
for. The grades are limited to fve
degrees the width OF the road bed
to thirty feet, the width OF the paw
ing to twenty feet, the depth OF the
stone covering to fifteen inches in the
middle of the road, and no stone is to
exceed three ounces in weight.
This laws seems to be well guard
ed one, and the Kentucky Legisla-
ture is already being urged to consid-
er similar measure. Under the pro-
posed system, says the Louisville Com
mercial, the farmers would have in q
few years, with less taxes than they
now pay, system of good free turn
pixies, which would be kept in order
at less than the.present cost OF work

A woman named Given, living near
Bellaire, Ohio, discovered that the
chicken box was infested with lice.
In order to rid herself Of the pests
she set fire to the box, but unfortu.
nately the barn and its contents
were also consumed, causing loss
of several hundred dollars, on which
there was no insurance. Mrs. Given
says she got rid of the lice, anyhow.

peculiar interest to their owners. When
