Streams Which WIZ Be Stocked To-Day
with Rainbow Trout.
Superintendent of Fish-hatcheries Wood
berry and his attendant, Richardson, will
arrive from SissOns this morning with 10000
young fry of the rainbow trout, which will
be distributed in the La Honda. San
Gregorio and Pescadero creeks in San
Mateo County.
These streams have numerous tributaries,
which will benefit by the stocking of the
main waters. The Pescadero is a magnifi-
cent stream, and carries large body of
water in the summer, as well as in the
winter months. 1t is hoped that the farm
ers who reside in the vicinity of the glens
will axe an interest in the labors of the
gentlemen who are connected with the
Fish Commission, and use their utmost en-
deayors TO bring to justice those who are in
the habit of destroying fish by giant-powder
explosives during the winter season when
the salmon run up the river to spawn. In
a few years hence, if the vandalism which
has been going on without interruption or
years be checked the fraternity who enjoy
good trout fishing will be delighted with
the sport these streams will afford when the
youngsters arrive Mt their majority.

warning about the small mouth. Water
can gather up more impurities in room

the obvious way to avoid this is to shut

the dust and microbes out.

ing for ice-water instead of cool water puts
the precious Watering to route. there are
three or four things that will help to keep
the precious nugget of ice from melting

Der them. One is that to keep ice warm is
the way to keep it cool. A piece of ice in a
pitcher, with pail over the pitcher and a
rug over the pail, will keep all night. A
piece of ice in refrigerator, covered with
a snug white blanket, will cheat the greedy
iceman every day and snap saucy fingers at
the milk that does not dare get sour or the
beefsteak that dares not fail. These things
are admirable i'll their way. and should be
in every hat-band, but the greatest trick of
all is newspapers. There is nothing that
makes so good a cave for block of ice as
newspapers. With plenty of newspapers

piece of ice will keep is a joke.-N. Y.

THE MOSQUITO PEST.
The Insects Propagation Not to Be Less
ened by Dragon Flies.

| The prospect of the mitigation or eX-
| termination of the mosquito by the
| propagation of the dragon fly is not en-
/ couraging. For some time there has
| been an idea among entomologists, es-
| pecially those whose acquaintance
| with the science was more enthusiast
| tic than thorough, that in view of the
! known fact, that dragon flies are dead
ly enemies of mosquitoes and devour
vast quantities of them and of their
Larvae, it might be possible by the arti-
fetal propagation of the flies TO so di-
minish the crop of mosquitoes as to
make life considerably more endurable
| in localities where now they are an al
most intollerab bic nuisance.
Last June DR.. Lamborn, of this city,
offered prizes aggregating $500 for es-
says upon the subject and the means
of exterminating the mosquito,
and especially upon the feast
bility of the use of the dragon
fly for that purpose. The papers
were TO be sent to the American Mu-
scum of Natural History by December
l last, and then to be passed upon by
Prof Newbcrry, of this city, and Rev.
Henry c. McCook, of the Philadelphia
Academy of Natural Sciences. Several
essays were sent in, and few days ago
the decision upon them was announced,
the first prize, $50, going to Mrs. Eu-
gene VI. Aaron, of Philadelphia. Mrs.
Aaron finds that the scheme for eXter-
minating mosquitoes by artifically prop
agated dragon flies IS impracticable for
these reasons:
90; ! -
overcoming the immense fecundity of
mosquitoes by the paratively limited
numb Der and capacity of dragon flies.
Second-The peculiar migratory hab-
its OF dragon flies.
Third-The mosquitoes are practically
nocturnal insects, while the dragon flies
are antially diurnal. When the
mosquitoes most need determination the
dragon flies would be asleep.
Fourth-The difficulty Of successfully
carrying on artificial propagation Of
dragon flies on any extensive scale. and
especially the difficulty arising from
the fact that the Larvae of the flies are
fully as fond of each other as they arc Of
mosquito Larvae.
In conclusion, Mrs. Aaron decides
that the breeding of dragon flies for
service in exterminating insects must
be attended with immense expense, and
a great uncertainty as to results, and
that while they may be reared in linn
tied number and found scrviceable, the
amount OF the service would be COM
paratively significant, and could at best
be only secondary factor in reducing
the number of mosquitoes. The great
remedy for mosquitoes, however, Mrs.
Aaron says, is thorough drainage and
the clearing away OF ponds, pools,
swampy spots and other breeding places
for the insccts.-N. y. Letter.

A CHEAP HAY SHED.

This stack rack preferable to any other
is because it is less labor and does not
waste SO much if properly used. In
hauling it to the rack it has to be
pitched on the wagon. requiring one
man to build, and then it has to be
pitched on the rack and tramped in. In
this way, it is fed at the bottom of the
stack, saving much unnecessary hand
ling. With good shelter, plenty of good
hay and 3 or ears of corn per day,
stock cattle will winter in good shape.
The money in lay lies in getting a
large yield from q small amount of
land, and in getting a good article and
taking care of it. One therefore needs

structure. Five tolerable straight

should be four or five feet of fall in the

This, at the most, should not cost over
twenty-five dollars. and if in a timber
country where poles can be had cheaply,

need not be much expense outside the
